  1. Re:2 years on Google Fiber Expands To Olathe, Kansas · · Score: 2

    Hey, don't knock it. At that rate, I should be getting Google Fiber sometime around 2042.

  2. Re:1 GB Google fiber service on Google Fiber Expands To Olathe, Kansas · · Score: 1

    I bet she also thinks that the highway speed limit is 100 miles when she drives in Canada.

    Not only that, but she can drive it in less than 12 parsecs.

  3. Re:Very interesting article, thanks! on Declassified LBJ Tapes Accuse Richard Nixon of Treason · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dick Cheney dismantled it upon taking office

    FTFY. Let's not kid ourselves about who was REALLY President during the Bush years. And it sure as shit wasn't a dumb himbo pretending to be from Texas.

  4. Forget questioning the war, this was back when a newscaster *not wearing a flag pin* on his lapel could get fired for it.

  5. Re:Hard to define on Voyager 1 Officially Exits Our Solar System · · Score: 1

    But Voyager could never gain on that, so it could travel almost indefinitely out into the universe and the Sun would still have at least SOME effect.

  6. It would have just meant more cheerleaders on Could Twitter Have Stopped the Media's Rush To War In Iraq Ten Years Ago? · · Score: 2

    There were a lot of warning signs that the Western press' support for the Arab Spring may have been a bad idea too, but Twitter certainly didn't stop that.

  7. Re:Hate to defend M$ in any way, but on Microsoft, Partners Probed Over Bribery Claims · · Score: 1

    Shall we put you in charge of arresting the CEO of every single company that has every done business in China?

  8. Hard to define on Voyager 1 Officially Exits Our Solar System · · Score: 5, Funny

    I would say that "true interstellar space" was "outside the gravitational effect of our sun" but, technically, that's nowhere in the universe.

  9. Company wants to make money on Open-Xchange Launches "Open Source" Browser-Based Office Suite · · Score: 1

    ...Discovers it can't pay workers in goodwill.

  10. Re:INFOCOM LEVEL 3! on Possible Cyber Attack Against South Korean Banks and TV Stations · · Score: 2

    At level 0 Slim Pickens releases the great DDoS.

  11. Re:Lots of beating around the bush on Code.org Documentary Serving Multiple Agendas? · · Score: 3, Informative

    He's saying that a lot of this "U.S. schools are awful, just awful" stuff is propaganda, funded by U.S. tech firms in an effort to import more H1B-visa indentured servants to save money.

  12. Re:Finally on Possible Chemical Weapons Use In Syria · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why has nobody of an officious status mentioned that this could be a false flag attack to muster international sentiments in favor of Syria, in opposition to the rebels?

    Because it's become clear that the rebels in Syria (as in most of the Arab Spring) are no more trustworthy than the Assad government, and just as willing to engage in atrocities. When you can't trust either side, you basically end up just ignoring both. It's pretty much impossible to tell the truth from the bullshit in Syria.

  13. Lazy Boyfriend on LazyHusband Smart Phone App Compliments Your Wife for You (Video) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I agree with you.
    Yes, I think she is a total bitch for saying that to you.
    You fascinate me.
    Yes, I would love to see that romantic comedy with you.

  14. Isn't that called a "loan"? on How To Bet Money On Your Future Success · · Score: 1

    And considering how generous Federal Student Loan terms are compared to regular loans, you would be pretty fucking stupid to "retire student debt" with this (especially at 7% interest).

  15. Re:Don't understand computers? on 41 Months In Prison For Man Who Leaked AT&T iPad Email Addresses · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The right thing to do, of course, would have been to contact AT&T. Had he done that, AT&T would have threatened him to keep quiet and then never fixed the flaw

  16. Re:Meanwhile... on Saints Row IV Announced · · Score: 2

    Yeah, but there will be 4x the number of funny hats in this one--available for purchase!

  17. Re:Unintended consequences on Berkeley Scientists Plan To 'Jurassic Park' Some Extinct Pigeons Back To Life · · Score: 1

    Maybe we could train the Passenger Pigeons to fight the Canada Geese. Win-win!

  18. Wonder what they told MS on Nvidia Walked Away From PS4 Hardware Negotiations · · Score: 3, Funny

    You can bet MS has approached them on providing chips for Durango too. I wonder if they told *them* to piss off.

  19. Re:Mah nishtanah, ha-laylah ha-zeh, mi-kol ha-leyl on Australian PM Targets Imported IT Workers · · Score: 1

    And how is this different from the controversy over this exact same subject here in the US

    Well, in Australia the Prime Minister is actually OPPOSING visas that cut native IT workers out of work (and artificially lower wages). In the U.S, by contrast, the President is falling all over himself to say how great they are, and ask for even more.

  20. Re:IMO on EU Car Makers Manipulating Fuel Efficiency Figures · · Score: 1

    I won't let Europeans into my house, and I'll be damned if I'm letting them into my car!

  21. Re:2006? on Ask Slashdot: How To Donate Older Computers to Charity? · · Score: 1

    There millions of people in Africa who live in modern cities who could use any of the US's castoff computers

    My understanding is that the big problem is Africa is electricity. Even in the big cities, it's pretty unreliable. That's why cells and tablets are so much more popular there. Even if a desktop were much cheaper up front, it wouldn't be of much use in a place where the power is constantly going out.

  22. I take long walk back to cubicle on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Stay Fit At Work? · · Score: 1

    And pretend to work.

    Great workout.

  23. Re:Difficult on Ask Slashdot: How To Donate Older Computers to Charity? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Even charities have minimum needs/standars for computers.

    Nonsense. Those Goodwill boxes will take anything. I regularly put my old broken appliances, worn out VHS tapes, empty soda cans, used toilet paper, etc. in them late at night and I've never once heard them complain about it.

  24. Re:Let us ask Data on Hacker Skips SimCity Full-Time Network Requirement · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Shorly after release metacritic scores showed the "professional" critics giving 90's and 100's,

    Hard to believe, considering most of those critics work for magazines and publications heavily supported by EA advertising.

  25. Re:Not a huge surprise... on Hacker Skips SimCity Full-Time Network Requirement · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I keep hearing a lot about "consumer outcry" about EA games. And yet every time a new one comes out, those same consumers seemed to be lined up around the block to buy them.
