  1. Small problem on Ars Reviews Skype Translator · · Score: 4, Funny

    The translation went well, but...

    The first thing that Peter heard was "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

  2. Re:America! on "Team America" Gets Post-Hack Yanking At Alamo Drafthouse, Too · · Score: 2

    Good luck eating butterscotch pudding after viewing that movie.

  3. Re:Why I got a Pebble on Ask Slashdot: What Can I Really Do With a Smart Watch? · · Score: 1

    I'm still using an old iPhone 3GS with iOS6 and it does that too, so I'm not sure what smartphone Enry is talking about. It must be from the paleolithic era.

  4. Re:One year too early on Ask Slashdot: What Can I Really Do With a Smart Watch? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Unless he meant "Drooling bullshit".

  5. Let me guess on After 40 Years As a Double Amputee, Man Gains Two Bionic Arms · · Score: 0

    The prosthetics were 3D-printed?

  6. Re:Intranet on Google Proposes To Warn People About Non-SSL Web Sites · · Score: 1

    If a burglar puts a rouge computer on your LAN, it will be very easy to spot. It will be the red one.

  7. Re:Why Steam? Why? on To Fight Currency Mismatches, Steam Adding Region Locking to PC Games · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Let's say the game costs 10 times less in Russia. You ask Russian friend to buy it for you but you send him twice the amount required. That means you both got the game for 1/5th of the U.S.A. price. The game creators and Steam lose.

    Let's say Steam increases the price in Russia so that it matches the U.S. dollar value. Your Russian friend can no longer afford games. Your friend, the game creators and Steam lose.

  8. Re:Time to build a picorocket, then. on Startup Helps You Build Your Very Own Picosatellite On a Budget · · Score: 1

    You just take normal nano-satellites and insert nano-magnets into them, it's not exactly rocket science.

    It's not? I'm sorry I don't quite understand, I just had brain surgery.

  9. Re:503 on Google Proposes To Warn People About Non-SSL Web Sites · · Score: 2

    SSL is not secure either. It is only allunsion.

    And so are spell-checkers.

  10. Re:It's Over 9000! on Over 9,000 PCs In Australia Infected By TorrentLocker Ransomware · · Score: 1

    OMG I was blind to miss that.

  11. How? on Over 9,000 PCs In Australia Infected By TorrentLocker Ransomware · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    How weak is your operating system and your browser if visiting a website can end up with this situation?

  12. Re:In other words on Top Five Theaters Won't Show "The Interview" Sony Cancels Release · · Score: 1

    IE != i.e. ;-)

  13. Re:My money is on Blackmail on Top Five Theaters Won't Show "The Interview" Sony Cancels Release · · Score: 1

    Why is it always blackmail? Isn't that a little bit racist?

  14. Re:Slight reality check here on Top Five Theaters Won't Show "The Interview" Sony Cancels Release · · Score: 2

    In fact Webster should place a picture of Sony and the Interview poster next to the dictionary entry for "disaster".

    That spot is already taken by Battlefield Earth.

  15. Re:So stream it... on Top Five Theaters Won't Show "The Interview" Sony Cancels Release · · Score: 1

    Movie theatre food is so expensive that it could bankrupt Sony Pictures.

    And you don't even need to get elected to do it!

  18. Re:The biggest problem is fluid dynamics. on NASA Tests Feasibility of 3D Printing on the Moon and Other Planets · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the moon is heavier than 1/6 of a gram.

  19. Re:The biggest problem is fluid dynamics. on NASA Tests Feasibility of 3D Printing on the Moon and Other Planets · · Score: 1

    The solution is easy: print in 3D using liquid magnets.

    With an Arduino, in the Cloud, synergetically, with Bennett.

  20. Re:Ugh, WordPress on Book Review: Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML, CSS, and WordPress · · Score: 1

    Why did you decide on Drupal instead of one of the many other CMS out there?

    P.S.: if you want to see a real nightmare, check out ExpressionEngine and its templating and parsing order system from Hell. They even have something called "Global variables" that aren't even variables and cannot even be used as constants for if/else logic because they're supposed to only hold static content added to their last "parsing" stage before sending the generated page to the browser. They can't even get semantics rights!

  22. Re:Computers are not as smart as humans on Research Highlights How AI Sees and How It Knows What It's Looking At · · Score: 1

    And then we also need a Red Forman translation tool to translate the message sent to the A.I.:
    "This is static, dumbass!"

  23. What's a school bus? on Research Highlights How AI Sees and How It Knows What It's Looking At · · Score: 1

    e.g. a school bus is alternating yellow and black lines, but does not need to have a windshield or wheels

    Then this is also a school bus.

  24. Re:No different than what we have here on Manufacturer's Backdoor Found On Popular Chinese Android Smartphone · · Score: 4, Informative

    As far as I know, Apple can disable software remotely for security reasons but iOS itself cannot install software without asking the user.

    From the photo, this new cargo ship does look like a ship.
