  1. Re:Islam apologism on Tatooine Youth Suspected In Terrorist Attack · · Score: 1

    How about a story about how Islam is a religion of peace? That would be a funny April fools joke, although I guess it's been done to death already.

    I see what you did there.

  2. You know what else is chugging along? on Bitcoin In China Still Chugging Along, a Year After Clampdown · · Score: 1

    Litecoin, Dogecoin, Darkcoin, Reddcoin... there's dozens of crypto-currencies out there. It's a mess.

    Get free satoshis and Dogecoins by using the links in my signature! (Hey, it's on-topic for once!)

  3. Finally on Control Anything With Gestures: Myo Bluetooth Protocol Released · · Score: 1

    I can flip my computer instead of pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL!

  4. Re:It's not a slow news day. on Hand-Drawn and Inkjet Printed Circuits for the Masses (Video) · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for the "Akira absorbs systemd" story.

  5. Re:Slip-up that got them caught on Silk Road Investigators Charged With Stealing Bitcoin · · Score: 2

    Well that's their mistake right there. Bitcoins are used to buy bits. They should have used Donutcoins!

  6. Re:DARPA SJW on Robots4Us: DARPA's Response To Mounting Robophobia · · Score: 1

    I always knew they were a bunch of closeted robosexuals over there.

    Bender: You really want a robot for a friend?
    Fry: Yeah, ever since I was six!
    Bender: Well, all right. But I don't want anyone to think we're robosexual or anything, so if anyone asks, you're my debugger.

  7. Re:Plug-in still required on SuperMario 64 Coming To a Browser Near You! · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Furthermore, mentioning "HTML 5" is pointless if it requires a plug-in.

  8. Re:Plug-in still required on SuperMario 64 Coming To a Browser Near You! · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah, thanks but no thanks. I got rid of Flash and Java because they're security holes. I'm not going to install anything just to run a stupid game.

  9. Re:Arduino? Good riddance! on Arduino Dispute Reaches Out To Distributors · · Score: 1

    Not cross-platform 11 years ago.

  10. Re:Arduino? Good riddance! on Arduino Dispute Reaches Out To Distributors · · Score: 1

    And do they have easy to use, cross-platform tools with a large number of active forum members willing to help you?

  11. Robotic "Ants" and "Butterflies" on Festo Reveals New Robotic Ants and Butterflies · · Score: 1

    Impressive, but they're much, much bigger than real ones.

  12. Raspberry PI? on Rebuilding the PDP-8 With a Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    I don't know anything about the PDP-8, but isn't using a Raspberry PI completely overkill? Wouldn't a much more basic ATmega328P be enough for the task?

  13. Re:"to provide support for the cultural sector" on Quebec Plans To Require Website Blocking, Studies New Internet Access Tax · · Score: 1

    Indeed. It's the equivalent of "Will somebody think of the children" but with "culture" and "language" instead.

    It's one thing to try and protect the french language in Québec but it's another to shit on everyone's head (both unilingual and bilingual).

    It seems some politicians still don't understand what the Internet is or they're even dumber than we thought.

  14. Re:Wait a sec on Generate Memorizable Passphrases That Even the NSA Can't Guess · · Score: 4, Funny

    ROT13 is pretty safe, especially if it's used twice.

  15. Re:Booth babes are useless on RSA Conference Bans "Booth Babes" · · Score: 1

    If I wanted a person completely ignorant on the subject to tell me about the product, I'd use the internet.

    Dude, you should like totally check out the links in my signature, you'll become rich*!

    * maybe not

  16. Re:Actually, it's not an industry first on RSA Conference Bans "Booth Babes" · · Score: 1

    The article is called "Apology follows bikini backlash" but there's not a single photo of a girl in a bikini.

  17. Re:Are booth babes worth it? on RSA Conference Bans "Booth Babes" · · Score: 1

    Oh, I'd love to see a booth with ponies!

  18. Re:Are booth babes worth it? on RSA Conference Bans "Booth Babes" · · Score: 1

    Yes, the cliche says, "Sex sells", but do they actually generate significant sales?

    It does for Playboy and other magazines, even if people only read those for the articles.

  19. Re:Wasn't there a study that proved this was good? on RSA Conference Bans "Booth Babes" · · Score: 1

    Only idiots buy products based on how much a company can waste money instead of how good the products are.

    You can fool people once with good marketing but you can only keep customers with good products.

  20. Re:RSA has booth babes? on RSA Conference Bans "Booth Babes" · · Score: 1

    He does. He only has a value of two but uses eight bits to store it anyway.

  21. Re:The real booth babes ain't on the floor at RSA. on RSA Conference Bans "Booth Babes" · · Score: 1

    A guy who spends 4 hours worth of time and $200 in drinks and dinner to bed some random girl is seen as awesome while a guy who cuts to the chase with a $300 prostitute is shunned.

    Well of course the second guy is going to be shunned! That idiot paid $300 for sex alone while the first guy only paid 200$ and had four hours of good time with the girl and also had sex with her!

  22. Re:And these folks will be... on RSA Conference Bans "Booth Babes" · · Score: 1

    Attendance isn't the only thing that's going to be down.

  23. 'Bar Mitzvah Attack' Plagues SSL/TLS Encryption on 'Bar Mitzvah Attack' Plagues SSL/TLS Encryption · · Score: 3, Funny

    But only on Jewish websites.

    I kid, of course. Mel Brooks rules!

  24. Flawed on MIT Debuts Integer Overflow Debugger · · Score: 4, Funny

    Researchers from the school's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) last week debuted the platform dubbed DIODE, short for Directed Integer Overflow Detection.

    The one problem with their method is that it can only detect overflows in one direction.
