  1. Re:teach them the calue of generosity on Ask Slashdot: Best Console For the Kids This Holiday? · · Score: 1

    I tried to shower with gifts this morning, and I have the bruises to prove it.

  2. Why do you say that? on Ask Slashdot: Best Console For the Kids This Holiday? · · Score: 1

    Why do you say that?

  3. Re:Why so full? on This Is What Happens When You Deep Fry a Frozen Turkey · · Score: 1

    If you want to see annoying videos on YouTube, look at people posting their CNC working. It doesn't matter if the video is 30 seconds long or 30 minutes long, most people never show us the machined part at the end and just cut the video once the CNC has done its job.

  4. Re:Failed xbox shrink on Microsoft Reportedly Working On Xbox TV Device · · Score: 2

    Unless you work for Microsoft's marketing department, in which case you'll want to stick an Xbox label on the box, since it's a Microsoft device that connects to your TV. I can't wait for the confusion this will cause.

    Turn all woman into anime cat-girls with D cup sizes.

    Hey, the research is done in Japan, you know there's at least one guy in the research team who thought about it!

    Just display calories, equivalent distant need to run to burn calories, and total calorie for the day?
    Ore:
    100 calories.
    Walk 1 mile
    800 calories daily total.

    What do you mean? Copper ore? Tin ore? Iron ore?

  7. Re:Science IS for just a chosen few.... on Genspace: New York City's Community Biolab (Video) · · Score: 1

    Benjy Mouse, is that you?

  8. Re:Still no Retina support for OS X on Firefox 17 Launches With Click-to-Play Plugin Blocks · · Score: 1

    Apparently, not anymore.

  9. Re:Individual Song Downloads on Highway To Sell: AC/DC iTunes Snub Finally Over · · Score: 2

    He's against it because all AC/DC songs sound exactly the same.

    Only if you listen to them through a diode bridge and capacitors.

  10. Re:Individual Song Downloads on Highway To Sell: AC/DC iTunes Snub Finally Over · · Score: 2

    I remember getting the wax cylinder out of the box, putting it in the CD player, pressing the "Side B" button, then the button labeled "Track 4", then setting the speed to 45 revolutions per minute and finally tuning to 101.7 on the frequency modulating carrier wave to enable the decoding of the psycho-acoustically encoded audio frames.

    Oh no, wait, I'm thinking about horse drawn carriages. My bad.

  11. Re:I really hope... on What "Earth-Shaking" Discovery Has Curiosity Made on Mars? · · Score: 1

    Did I just write "GOOGLES"? :rolleyes:

    Damn you Slashdot and your no editing policy! We should at least have a window of 30 seconds to edit a post for typos and other lame errors.

  12. Re:I really hope... on What "Earth-Shaking" Discovery Has Curiosity Made on Mars? · · Score: 1

    I don't even need to click on that link to write the following reply:

    MY EYES! THE GOOGLES DO NOTHING!

  13. SVG images/graphs on $250 Chromebook With Ubuntu Linux Is Very Fast · · Score: 1

    Those are completely unreadable, the text is about 3 pixels tall. Tried zooming, didn't work.

  14. Re:Chocolate on What "Earth-Shaking" Discovery Has Curiosity Made on Mars? · · Score: 1

    Funniest food-related reply of the thread. You, sir, win one intarweb.

  15. Re:Obviously they are trying to build hype on What "Earth-Shaking" Discovery Has Curiosity Made on Mars? · · Score: 3, Funny

    The good news is they're doing arbitration -- they're not dead yet.

    I heard they were feeling happy and wanted to go for a walk.

  16. Re:I really hope... on What "Earth-Shaking" Discovery Has Curiosity Made on Mars? · · Score: 1

    You know what scares me? The fact that I already knew what it was before clicking on the link.

  17. Re:Who gives a fuck? on Is Oprah Cheating On Her Microsoft Love? · · Score: 1

    There are a total of 0 housewives reading Slashdot, and only one person over 35.

    We'd need to have some hard numbers to confirm this, but I wouldn't be surprised if 50% of the Slashdot readers are over 30.

    Do you realize the irony of your comment, in relation to your username?

  19. Re:Surface iOS Bridge on Is Oprah Cheating On Her Microsoft Love? · · Score: 1

    Sure, browsers have the ability to change their user-agent. But really, what's the percentage of users who does that? It's probably statistically insignificant.

  20. Re:DIY on 'Ban Killer Bots,' Urges Human Rights Watch · · Score: 0

    I never understood why they clock the AVR at 16MHz when that part is rated for 20MHz.

  21. Re:The latest releases on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, the release of Steam on Linux and maybe even a Valve/Steam console will also help to have games on OS X (being that they both have a Unix core, OpenGL graphics, etc).

  22. Re:Microsoft Office on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    The cross-compatibility with earlier versions of Office is also far from perfect.

  23. Re:None. on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 5, Funny

    By a curious coincidence, none at all is exactly how much suspicion the ape-descendant Arthur Dent had that one of his closest friends was not descended from an ape, but was in fact from a small planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse and not from Guildford as he usually claimed.

  24. Re:hunting? on Activists' Drone Shot Out of the Sky For Fourth Time · · Score: 2

    It says "pigeon shootings" above... do people actually eat those flying rats? WTF?
