    Holy mother of god.

  2. Re:All ingredients for a spectacular fail on 2014: Planetary Resources To Launch Their First Satellites · · Score: 1

    Which is why it doesn't have to work. You live the good life for a few years, off of someone else's VC, and then declare that it's not viable. You close up shop and move on to the next opportunity.

  3. Re:How do we authenticate that this is a piece of on 2014: Planetary Resources To Launch Their First Satellites · · Score: 1

    I certificate of authenticity, signed by Dr. Nick Riviera.

    "There are no US tanks in Bagdad!"

  5. Re:Oh noes! on Earth's Core Far Hotter Than Thought · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So a "racist joke" has to automatically be about "black people?" Who's the racist now?

  6. Re:in joules. please on Scientists May Have Detected Neutrinos From Another Galaxy · · Score: 2

    Not without, at least, dinner and drinks. (tits would be a big help too)

  7. The burning question... on Microsoft Ad Campaign Puts a Hotspot Inside a Magazine · · Score: 1

    How the hell do they put a hotspot, that lasts for 15 days, inside a magazine when my fucking cellphone can barely make it through the day?

  8. Re:Waiting for a /. user to fix that... on Microsoft Ad Campaign Puts a Hotspot Inside a Magazine · · Score: 2

    Sounds like a hosts file problem.

  9. Re:Security breach on Microsoft Ad Campaign Puts a Hotspot Inside a Magazine · · Score: 1

    You'll just have file an incident report on yourself, with cyber, when you get your mail.

  10. Re:Almost useless on Smartphone Used To Scan Data From Chip-Enabled Credit Cards · · Score: 4, Funny

    Says the AC running a business from his/her own asshole.....

  11. $1000 for a video card? on AMD Radeon HD 7990 Released: Dual GPUs and 6G of Memory for $1000 · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you think paying $1000 for a video card is a good idea, maybe you should just save that money and move out of your mom's basement.

  12. Re:Simple solution on Viruses From Sewage Contaminate Deep Well Water · · Score: 5, Informative

    Hops are a pretty effective anti-pathogen. In most beers the alcohol content isn't significant in that regard.

  13. Re:Protect your data with custom HOST file... apk on Siri Keeps Your Data For Two Years · · Score: 0

    Seems you should learn how the internets work.....

  14. Re:Win8 trumps Mac OS, linux or Chrome on Windows: Not Doomed Yet · · Score: 1

    Touch by default? If your finger touches my screen, I reserve the right to break it off.

    I can't imagine the hellish nightmare retouching 1000 photos would be with a screen full of finger smears. You'll have to pry that mouse out of my cold, dead, hands.

  15. No print magazines on Ask Slashdot: What Magazines Do You Still Read? · · Score: 1

    I don't subscribe to any print magazines but I have several I read on my tablet.

    I do still get the local newspaper every day. There's something very grounding about having my first coffee and reading the paper every morning. Even though the paper gets smaller every year, I've been doing it for a very long time and it's just part of my day.

  16. Re:pay phones on Why It's So Hard To Make a Phone Call In Emergency Situations · · Score: 2

    Ever try to find a pay phone these days?

  17. Re:Summary? on Why It's So Hard To Make a Phone Call In Emergency Situations · · Score: 5, Funny

    As opposed to a really excellent rapist? You know, the kind that brings flowers.

  21. Re:Extrapolation! on Moore's Law and the Origin of Life · · Score: 1

    In all fairness, if you had all the data you wouldn't have to extrapolate....

  22. I hate shills on Samsung Accused of Paying For Negative HTC Reviews · · Score: 1

    I hope there's a special level of hell set aside for them.

  23. Re:Third party hacks on ZDNet Proclaims "Windows: It's Over" · · Score: 1

    I think the real reason behind the 3rd party hacks aren't to make it "fine" there to keep people from taking hostages. Due to the economy in my part of the country I was forced to take an admin gig that was mostly windows. Since I didn't even own a windows machine I figured I should get one at home, for work stuff. If I had to use it without those 3rd party hacks, I'd stick forks in my eyes. With them, I only get the urge to hurt myself a few times a day.

  24. I'm not saying it's aliens, but... on Supernova Left Its Mark In Ancient Bacteria · · Score: 3, Funny

    it's aliens.

  25. Digital Photos on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Preserve a "Digital Inheritance"? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The days of family photos being passed down are gone. A shoe-box full of slides is remarkable durable, barring a fire. When grandma dies her collection of digital photos dies with her. While perhaps no exactly a "first world problem" it's a pretty significant issue when you consider the amount of history that can be lost. It's especially important to artists. Imagine if all of art produced by the likes of Picaso, Rembrandt, Van Gogh vanished when the died and someone shut down their computers. Most archival media available is susceptible to silent bit rot and spinning media requires care as well.
