  1. Re:Recycled Hype? on NVIDIA Announces SHIELD Game Console · · Score: 1

    MachDelta was much nicer than you.

  2. Re:Recycled Hype? on NVIDIA Announces SHIELD Game Console · · Score: 1

    Sony: Playstation, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Playstation Portable
    Microsoft: Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One
    nVidia: everything is just called "SHIELD"! (derp)

  3. Re:Recycled Hype? on NVIDIA Announces SHIELD Game Console · · Score: 1

    I was confused too, didn't this thing already exist? I really think they should have picked a new name.

  4. Re:Xbox styling on NVIDIA Announces SHIELD Game Console · · Score: 1

    I agree, it looks like a slim, vertical, modernized version of the first Xbox.

  5. Re:I'm waiting on AMD Enters Virtual Reality Fray With LiquidVR SDK At GDC · · Score: 2

    Print your own Google cardboard on a regular printer?
    3D-print your own on a RepRap?

  6. Cheaper method on Physicists Gear Up To Catch a Gravitational Wave · · Score: 4, Funny

    Physicists are finishing a $205 million rebuild of the detectors, known as Advanced LIGO, which should make them 10 times more sensitive and, they say, virtually ensure a detection.

    A cheaper way of virtually ensuring detection is to do the experiment in a simulation.

  7. Re:MOD ARTICLE RETARDED! on A Versatile and Rugged MIDI Mini-Keyboard (Video) · · Score: 1

    Bonus points if there's no negative/positive limit on the mod.

  8. Re:Autoplaying videos, for or against? on A Versatile and Rugged MIDI Mini-Keyboard (Video) · · Score: 1

    1. It's not autoplaying anymore (and I'm against autoplay - it's my fucking bandwidth, my fucking limited monthly data quota and no, there's no other option for ISP where I live)

    2. I think the Pebble Time Steel is more newsworthy than this yet-another-music-keyboard even if we talked about the Pebble Time "Plastic" (I guess) last week.

  9. Look at this guy! on A Versatile and Rugged MIDI Mini-Keyboard (Video) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Can you say "It's-a me, Mario!"

    pro: the video doesn't auto-play anymore
    cons: the godamn ad doesn't a volume or mute control and neither does the main video

  10. Re:Passed Time on Supreme Court Gives Tacit Approval To Warrantless DNA Collection · · Score: 1

    Guess which unit they got the search warrant for...

    The one with the four big-breasted tenants?

  11. Re:Annoying extensions from the MS-DOS era on Why We Should Stop Hiding File-Name Extensions · · Score: 1

    The name of the graphic format is JPEG, not JPG. Why would you still be limiting yourself to three characters for the file extension? For backward compatibility with MS-DOS systems?

  12. Re:It'll be like the rest of Windows 8 crapps on What Would Minecraft 2 Look Like Under Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Hurray! EGA is back!

  13. Annoying extensions from the MS-DOS era on Why We Should Stop Hiding File-Name Extensions · · Score: 1

    If you are working at Apple, Google, Adobe, etc... PLEASE stop using the godamn ".jpg" extension and recognize my ".jpeg" files as being fucking JPEG files.

  14. Re:No Engineers on How a Kickstarter Project Can Massively Exceed Its Funding Goals and Still Fail · · Score: 1

    Basically if you're targeting people who get confused by all the buttons in a full-blown IDE.

    There's no buttons with IDE, it's jumpers! And didn't we switch to SATA a few years ago anyway?

  15. Oh yeah on Doomsday Vault: First Tree Samples Arrive At Underground Seed Store · · Score: 0

    They will also keep them as back-ups, in case any of the species are lost, and to see how the forests change during breeding.

    Tree porn! Yeah!

  16. Re:Zombie apocalypse universe rules on Statistical Mechanics Finds Best Places To Hide During Zombie Apocalypse · · Score: 1

    No, no, no. Haven't you guys seen James Bond movies? What we need is big snowblowers.

  17. Re:Zombies Freeze in the Cold on Statistical Mechanics Finds Best Places To Hide During Zombie Apocalypse · · Score: 1

    In our Canadian winters up here, they'd likely freeze solid and they'd pretty much be easy targets at that point.

    Just make sure you don't blast them to pieces while in a steel foundry otherwise they'll just liquify and raise again.

  18. Statistics on That U2 Apple Stunt Wasn't the Disaster You Might Think It Was · · Score: 1

    Be careful, this was worded to make it seem bigger than it really is.

    new research from retail insight experts Kantar in the US, which shows that nearly a quarter (24%) of all US music users on iOS devices in January listened to U2, nearly five months after Songs Of Innocence was released for free onto 500m iPhones across the world.

    So, this was pushed on 500 million iOS devices (the iPad and iPod touch still exist) worldwide but 24% of U.S.A. iOS users listened to it. That doesn't equal 125 million people listening to U2.

  19. Re:Krebs on How Do You Handle the Discovery of a Web Site Disclosing Private Data? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I agree. A friendly game of baseball is the perfect opportunity to discuss security issues with them.

  20. Re:Obligatory on Ikea Unveils Furniture That Charges Your Smartphone Wirelessly · · Score: 0

    Not everyone is 70+ years old and not everyone has worked in multiple scientific fields. For some of us, some of the jokes are still new and funny.

  21. Re:Obligatory on Ikea Unveils Furniture That Charges Your Smartphone Wirelessly · · Score: 1

    It may not add one, but still...

    Ikea's introduction of wireless charging functionality on some of its new furniture heats up the battle for a global wireless charging standard, of which there are currently three, all struggling to become the global leader.

  22. There was a time before Google on Google Wants To Rank Websites Based On Facts Not Links · · Score: 2

    WebCrawler, AlvaVista, etc. Remember those?

    If Google search results start being useless, people will start using another search engine and Google will simply vanish like the others before it.

  23. Obligatory on Ikea Unveils Furniture That Charges Your Smartphone Wirelessly · · Score: 3, Funny
  24. row:how ? on Ask Slashdot: How Does One Verify Hard Drive Firmware? · · Score: 2

    if that's been tampered with there's no way you can be sure.

    Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

  25. I'm ashamed of you all on Leonard Nimoy Dies At 83 · · Score: 4, Informative

    There's 311 posts so far and no mention of Nimoy's role as himself on Futurama.
