    Moe: [answering the phone] Moe's Tavern.
    [Hawking voice]: Hello. Is HAL there?
    Moe: HAL?
    [Hawking voice]: Yes, HAL. Last name: 9000.
    Moe: Let me check... [calls] Phone call for HAL. HAL 9000. Is there an HAL 9000 here?
    [bar patrons laugh]
    Moe: Wait a minute. [to phone] Listen, you little wheelchair jackass, if I ever find out who you are, I'll kill you!

    Homer: I hope you do find that punk someday, Moe.

  2. Re:Copyright filter? on Microsoft's Age-Old Image Library 'Clip Art' Is No More · · Score: 1

    That's not a filter at all!

    Microsoft could try partnerships with at least a dozen photo hosting services to set a meta-data standard for all the licensing information required to be embedded into the JPEG and PNG files themselves. It would also be a good time to ask Apple and Google to join in the effort to establish such a standard.

  3. Converts gas cars to electric? on Ben Harris Shows off the Electric Vehicle Challenge Simulator (Video) · · Score: 1

    EVChallenge is a high school student project that converts gas cars to electric.

    Does it work on any type of cars? Would it work on my rust bucket on wheels ?

    Over the long term, you're going to die anyway.

    Bender: Dying sucks butt! How do you living beings cope with mortality?
    Turanga Leela: Violent outbursts.

    Philip J. Fry: Thanks to denial, I'm immortal.

    You're probably like a lot of readers, who now only read Slashdot for the cultural reference replies, the snarky replies or to find comfort in reading other comments with the same views as your owns.

    And let's not forget the trolls and the pointless personal attacks, you stupid brain-dead half-wit redneck moron bastard.

  6. Re:Copyright filter? on Microsoft's Age-Old Image Library 'Clip Art' Is No More · · Score: 1

    What if Microsoft's programs simply watermark the images with the required attribution? That would require yet more metadata, but IMHO all of this should already exists.

  7. Copyright filter? on Microsoft's Age-Old Image Library 'Clip Art' Is No More · · Score: 1

    Bing's copyright filter based on the Creative Commons licensing system will let users get royalty-free images which they can use, share, or modify for either personal or commercial use.

    How does that filter works? Do images have internal metadata about licensing? Or is "copyright filter" just another way of saying that searches will only occur on websites hosting Creative Commons photos and images?

  8. Re:V34.0.5? on Firefox 34 Arrives With Video Chat, Yahoo Search As Default · · Score: 1

    The Firefox team copied Google for the versioning of their browser. The next logical step will be to copy Microsoft and skip a number. Doing both at once (insane version increases and skipping a number altogether) means the next version of Firefox will be 46. Problem solved!

    Don't worry about it, next week you'll be running Firefox 35 anyway.

    But yet they say it's "DevOne". The world is quite big, and I don't speak english myself which is why I don't like the name and how I'm supposed to read it.

  14. What's the name again? on Debian Forked Over Systemd · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The fork is called "Devuan," pronounced "DevOne."

    Then just call it DevOne and be done with it. Stop with the words play and the phonetic cuteness, not everyone speaks english and spanish. If I read "Devuan" I'm going to pronounce "Dév-u-en" (french).

    As amazing as it is, it's still not what they said it would be. It's gross mis-representation, wrongful marketing, etc.

    In other words, the usual bullshit.

    Will they also apologize for The Crew not really being "the size of the USA"? I've seen someone play the beta on Xbox One yesterday and he was able to drive through four states in under 30 minutes.

  25. Re:Dear Sony, I am delighted! on Sony Pictures Computer Sytems Shut Down After Ransomware Hack · · Score: 1

    The case of a movie isn't part of the media, it can be viewed as packaging. Packs of cards do not having any license fee.

    Media companies and resellers wouldn't have anything special to do this. You bring a broken/defective disc and pay for the media only. There's no customers to keep track of, no special inventory to keep.
