  1. Obligatory on Listnr Wants to be 'Your Listening Assistant' (Video) · · Score: 2

    Listnr -- the listening device one -- claims it is able to tell whether a baby it hears is laughing, crying, gurgling or trying to talk.

    Simpsons did it!

  4. Re:Other sources for music on Music Doesn't Feature In the Pirate Bay's Top 100 Biggest Torrents · · Score: 2

    Only a subset of movies show up on Netflix, and they typically take a while to get there.

    Especially for Netflix Canada. However, The Interview was added about a week ago. It took only a month for that movie to go from theatres to Netflix Canada. That tells you how bad that movie is.

  5. Yeah! on New Multi-Core Raspberry Pi 2 Launches · · Score: 1

    Finally a more powerful computer to run arcade and console emulators!

  6. Re:Then buy a used PC on New Multi-Core Raspberry Pi 2 Launches · · Score: 1

    Try classic Game Boy or GBC programming, the custom Z80-like CPU is a blast with its ~1024 instructions.

  7. Re:player.ooyala.com = Slashdot MALWARE on Telomere-Lengthening Procedure Turns Clock Back Years In Human Cells · · Score: 1

    Video? What video?

  8. Re:How is this news?!? on DARPA-Funded Robots Learning To Cook By Watching YouTube Videos · · Score: 1

    Bad humans cooks with bad recipes and low budgets?

    Robots really have been preparing food for decades. Almost all food that ends up shrink-wrapped was made by machines. However they were made by specialized machines built for the task required instead of building something that could work in a human kitchen.

  9. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on DARPA-Funded Robots Learning To Cook By Watching YouTube Videos · · Score: 1

    So what happens when they start watching porn?

    We'll finally get our jobs back.

    Even a limited 30-seconds window to edit our posts would help.

    D'OH!

    Flair, as in:

    Joanna: You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?
    Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: Well, I thought I remembered you saying that you wanted to express yourself.
    Joanna: Yeah. You know what, yeah, I do. I do want to express myself, okay. And I don't need 37 pieces of flair to do it.

    Photography was invented in the early 1800's, the blackboard was invented earlier than that and the first postal service dates from around 4415 years ago.

    So this seems more like a problem for the 1800's, unless you were talking about posting the photo on the line.

  14. Re:Is it too hard... on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Modern IP Webcam That Lets the User Control the Output? · · Score: 1

    That is the most painful web-related thing I've ever had to read.

    Actually, I'm going to draw breasts.

    The worst are capital letters in bold. Those can actually block the pipes.

  17. Re:pics or it didn't happen on Physicists Make a Mobius Strip From Beams of Light · · Score: 1

    This is the Web 2.0, where the tag doesn't seem to exist. Way too many articles out there without any photos, it's just sad.

  18. Re:And the game continues on The Pirate Bay Is Back Online, Properly · · Score: 1

    They should rename TPB to The Borg. You know, resistance is futile and all that.

    Adobe: [cheerfully] Welcome to Adobe, may I help you?
    User: Yes.
    Adobe: How may I help you?
    User: You can start by delete that fucking dumb-ass buzzword checklist off your cash-grabbing scheme! And you can give me a fucking plug-in with fucking vector graphics, fucking bitmap graphics, fucking interactive controls, fucking video playback! A fucking plug-in without security holes!
    Adobe: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.
    User: And I really don't care for the way your company keeps releasing software with huge security holes with fucking backdoors for the fucking NSA. And I really didn't care to fucking wipe my system, re-install fucking Windows and fucking re-install your sfotware to get back with the same problem in my fucking face. I want a fucking secure plug-in RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
    Adobe: Did you update Flash to the latest version?

  22. Re:What good is it? on BT Unveils 1000Mbps Capable G.fast Broadband Rollout For the United Kingdom · · Score: 1

    Multiple Netflix HD streams + iTunes apps downloads + Steam and Battle.net downloads and updates. The average Joe can use a lot of bandwidth these days, even legally.

  23. Re:Japan: and the $0.02 market analysis. on How, and Why, Apple Overtook Microsoft · · Score: 2

    Low-cost smartphones would be a good thing if all software could run on it without any problems, but right now it doesn't.

    And hardware, powerful or not, is useless without software.

  24. Re:I've tried selling on Ebay... on Alibaba Face Off With Chinese Regulator Over Fake Products · · Score: 1

    Contact the seller and ask for a private auction for the original amount and tell him to send you nothing. Give appropriate feedback for the two auctions. His rating is almost as important as his profits.

    Alibaba was a woodcutter and not a thief.

    Yeah sure, whatever. And I suppose Jesus was a carpenter while we're at it.
