  1. Re:Seems silly. on US Navy Tests 3D Printing Custom Drones On Its Ships · · Score: 1

    The alternative is to either get it delivered somehow, or return to a port to pick up the new drone.

    Can't the damn things, I dunno... delivery themselves?

    There's a manned solar airplane doing a trip around the world right now, why can't "tiny' drones also use solar panels?

  2. Re:This just in on US Navy Tests 3D Printing Custom Drones On Its Ships · · Score: 1

    The machine shop part I understand, but do they store raw materials or do they also have a foundry onboard? :p

    So... are you talking about The Borgs? The Cybermen? Something else?

    Do you want Skynet drones factories?

    Because that's how you get Skynet drones factories.

    Seriously, all the parts seem to be falling into place. Time for a reboot of the Terminator franchise? (one without humanoid robots walking around and delivering punchlines).

  5. What? on Windows 10 App For Xbox One Could Render Steam Machines Useless · · Score: 1

    How can a 350$ game console render a free SteamOS useless?

    I don't understand this whole fixation on "streaming"... connect your PC to your living room TV and be done with it.

  6. Seriously, he gave better, more cogent and thoughtful interviews than most NFL or NBA players.

    Well, uh... that's not really, uh... hard to, like... do better than, uh... what these guys say on, like... the camera.

  7. Virtual +5 Funny

    I wonder if the kid is a fan of the show.

  8. Re:Pedantic or Pediatric? on 8-Year-Old Makes History As First Pediatric Dual Hand Transplant Recipient · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you think you need coffee, I misread the headline as "First Pediatric Dual Head Transplant Recipient".

    And then I wondered if the kid's name was Zaphod...

  9. Re:Let's hope .... on 8-Year-Old Makes History As First Pediatric Dual Hand Transplant Recipient · · Score: 4, Funny

    The operation cost an arm and a leg...

    Sorry, couldn't resist.

  10. Do you want Skynet? on Obama's New Executive Order Says the US Must Build an Exascale Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Because that's how you get Skynet.

    New GM rice! Now with gluten!

  12. Re:Well, sure, but... on Genetically Modified Rice Makes More Food, Less Greenhouse Gas · · Score: 1

    I can see the future now... someone eating GM chicken on a bed of GM rice driving his GM truck.

    Please don't. We must do everything in our power to avoid "Cherry Silicon".

    But wouldn't activity lights (read/write) use more power than the SSD itself?

  16. Re:The three keys on the top-right on Ask Slashdot: Why Is the Caps Lock Key Still So Prominent On Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    On Apple keyboards, those keys are F13, F14 and F15. I even have F16, F17, F18 and F19... The top row of my keyboard is a freakin' aircraft carrier.

  17. Re:Where's "Scroll Lock"? on Ask Slashdot: Why Is the Caps Lock Key Still So Prominent On Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    That's what I'm wondering too. Were they really talking about Chrome the Web browser or Chrome OS the Operating System*?

  22. Re:The OEM UEFI locked with M$ keys issue. on Windows 10 Launches · · Score: 1

    I changed a few words to better fit the joke. Here goes:

    Well shame on you for thinking you actually owned that body. Start reading the license you agreed to. You are, in essence, leasing your body. You no longer have the right to do what you want to do with it.

    Somehow I think this is how The Borg began. Implants made by greedy companies.

    Well it's not my justice system...

    But yeah, that's screwed up. Laws aren't about justice anymore, it's about being legal to screw everybody else.

    Let's see what Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung and Netflix have to say about this. They're the ones with the cash to fight this in court.
