  1. Re:costs? on TED Teams Up With PBS On Ideas For Education · · Score: 2

    How many hours must speakers spend creating their presentations?

    I'm pretty sure I saw a TED talk about that.

    No idea, but we're sorry and apologize anyway!

  3. Re:Preemptively Posting on Injectable Nanoparticles Maintain Normal Blood-sugar Levels For Up To 10 Days · · Score: 1

    ABS makes toxic fumes when printing?

    BFG's.

  7. PowerPoint? on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Sell an Algorithm To Venture Capitalists? · · Score: 1

    Drop that sorry excuse of a program and use Keynote. That will easily give you a more professional image. You guys don't have a Mac? Buy a MacBook even if it's only for your presentation. Think of it as an investment for your VC pitch.

  8. Firefox only? on Epic and Mozilla Bring HTML5 OpenGL Demo To the Browser · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Are we back to the "Best viewed on Internet Explorer" days?

  9. Re:Really? on Sequoia Supercomputer Sets Record With 'Time Warp' · · Score: 1

    Maybe laserdiscs are making a comeback for some reason?

  11. Re:Segways? on Is Google Glass Too Nerdy For the Mainstream? · · Score: 1

    Even the gym itself doesn't give you a break on being lazy.

  12. Re:Too caught up on appearances on Is Google Glass Too Nerdy For the Mainstream? · · Score: 1

    Then don't go outside. Problem solved!

    Next!

  13. Segways? on Is Google Glass Too Nerdy For the Mainstream? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If we were all riding around on Segways now, cities would probably be better places to live compared to the car-infested streets we still endure.

    If we were all riding around on Segways now, cities would probably be better places to live but our daily commutes would take two to five times longer. We won't even talk about having Segways all over the icy and heavy snowed streets in the winter.

  14. Re:The Chinese PLA on The Smart Grid Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    What about the Chinese ABS?

  15. Re:A win for Flash and Silverilght on RMS Urges W3C To Reject On Principle DRM In HTML5 · · Score: 1

    Besides the fact that I hate using the scroll wheel click, I've associated it to an OS function.

  16. Re:rPi is different from RPI on LLNL/RPI Supercomputer Smashes Simulation Speed Record · · Score: 1

    No you weren't, although I was wondering how many millions of rPI they needed to achieve this.

  17. Re:A win for Flash and Silverilght on RMS Urges W3C To Reject On Principle DRM In HTML5 · · Score: 1

    I was on a website only an hour ago where the idiots had blocked right-clicking with a javascript alert message "Our images are copyrighted". It's like none of their programmers knows about right-clicking to "open link in new tab".

  18. Nice! on BotObjects Announces First Full-Color Desktop 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    Very nice 3D rendering on that big-ass scrolling webpage.

    What do you mean, they're not selling 3D rendering software? Could've fooled me!

  19. Why avoid it? on NASA's Fermi Spacecraft Dodged a Defunct Russian Satellite · · Score: 1

    Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. Not to mention that it's already in orbit.

  20. Re:How much? on E-Sports League Stuffed Bitcoin Mining Code Inside Client Software · · Score: 1

    All I keep reading is that it's costing more and more in processing time to mine a single bitcoin, so I'm assuming that the creators were able to mine a shitload of bitcoins with lesser resources at the very beginning.

  21. Re:How much? on E-Sports League Stuffed Bitcoin Mining Code Inside Client Software · · Score: 1, Funny

    If nobody's buying them or accepting them as currency, what is their value derived from?

    I'll stick with my Canadian Tire dollars, thank you very much.

  22. How much? on E-Sports League Stuffed Bitcoin Mining Code Inside Client Software · · Score: 1

    29 Bitcoins, worth over $3,700

    So one bitcoin is worth roughly USD$127? I imagine those who started all this bitcoin stuff are probably filthy rich by now... right?

  23. Re:Google glasses on Google Glass Is the Future — and the Future Has Awful Battery Life · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you're in a crowded theater, the best way is shouting "Fire!".

  24. Re:Sue, sue, sue on Finfisher Spyware Use By Governments Expanding, Masquerades as Firefox · · Score: 3, Funny

    I guess you don't use a web browser and you send mail to a daemon?

    Not only that, but I sign all my emails with "In God we trust" just to piss off the daemon.

  25. Re:What a waste of time on IBM Makes a Movie Out of Atoms · · Score: 1

    I bet they discovered something or at least increased their comprehension of moving molecules around. The goal is molecular-scale data storage, not screwing around.
