  1. Re:It was a "joke" back then on This 1981 BYTE Magazine Cover Explains Why We're So Bad At Tech Predictions · · Score: 0

    I disagree about the arrogance bit. I give them credit for attempting the impossible. You could have said foolish which would have been fairer. Hubris too. But arrogance is way off.

  2. Re:Why do people listen to her? on Jenny McCarthy: "I Am Not Anti-Vaccine'" · · Score: 0

    Because of her gigantic silicone breast implants. They are fitted with hypnotic nipples that emit alpha waves and induce a sleep like state in the brain. Of course there was no thought given to shielding her brain (such as it is) from the effect.

  3. Re:meanwhile... on PC Gaming Alive and Dominant · · Score: 0

    No kidding, judging by the maggoty scummy ads that most tv shows now carry it's become a refuse pile. If quality advertisers won't pay for the less popular shows anymore TV will die.

  4. Re:One-way street on Canada Introduces Privacy Reforms That Encourage Warrantless Disclosure of Info · · Score: 0

    Well said. Can't add much except to expand on the theme of hubris. It's quite alarming really, I'd rather not live through something like the French Revolution. Well I am getting old, I suppose I might see it from a rocking chair through trifocals...

  5. How can you "steal" a pic off the 'net? on Photo Web Site Offers a Wall of Shame For Image Thieves · · Score: 0

    I've collected them since 1986 (via BBS back then). This is baloney.

  6. Re:I still program in BASIC. (Sometimes) on Born To RUN: Dartmouth Throwing BASIC a 50th B-Day Party · · Score: 0

    Yup and why wouldn't it work still. Nothing really goes obsolete. We just use some older things less because new things have joined them (not replaced... that's a businessman gimmick to try and sell something!).

  7. He who has the most remote controls on Apple, Google, and Amazon's Quest For One Remote Control Is Futile · · Score: 0

    when they die.. wins!

  8. Yeah, we're winning! on How the Internet Is Taking Away America's Religion · · Score: 0

    At least the 'net's good for something.

  9. Time to rollback to MS-DOS on UK Government Pays Microsoft £5.5M For Extended Support of Windows XP · · Score: 0

    Seriously, they could use the software that they once used. It worked in the 90's, health problems have not changed since then. Useless upgrades. Windoze, hah!

  10. Got it all wrong, way too high... on How Many People Does It Take To Colonize Another Star System? · · Score: 1

    Just need 1. Clone said person over and over. Why assume that diversity is good? Do we really want to send reality TV loving cretins to colonize other planets?

  11. Oooh $500 for a drive... on An SSD for Your Current Computer May Save the Cost of a New One (Video) · · Score: 0

    In the good ole days that's where hard drive prices started! You kids and your cheap computers. Well cheap in both senses. Our stuff still runs today. Yours will break in 3 months so you must buy a new one...

  12. Cameras replace mirrors? IF YOU'RE RETARDED maybe. on Will Cameras Replace Sideview Mirrors On Cars In 2018? · · Score: 0

    A mirror can break, sure, but cameras are far more complicated and prone to failure. Simpler is usually better. This is just another idiotic sales gimmick to get the mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging masses to cough up more dough.

  13. Late release... on Linux 3.14 Kernel Released · · Score: 0

    It was supposed to come out on March 14... ;-)

  14. I'd post something snotty but on Daylight Saving Time Linked To Heart Attacks · · Score: 0

    I'm too tired from lack of sleep.

  15. Flak not Flack on Microsoft Promises Not To Snoop Through Email · · Score: -1

    Flak comes from the german word FLieger Abwehr Kanone. Anti Aircraft Cannon. Taking flak means getting resistance. Flack is not a word.

  16. Company support is overrated on Ask Slashdot: Preparing For Windows XP EOL? · · Score: 0

    I still use my 1982 Atari 800. Atari doesn't exist anymore. So what?

  17. Issue on Ask Slashdot: Re-Learning How To Interview As a Developer? · · Score: 0

    Stop saying things like "I am really having issues" People will think you are an idiot if you can't even use english properly. The word is problem. Learn it, use it. Impress people by how literate you are.

  18. OK lady, you first. on Time Dilation Drug Could Let Heinous Criminals Serve 1,000 Year Sentences · · Score: 0

    I suggest the woman who had this idea be subjected to her own punishment. Her idea is criminal and she ought to be hoisted by her own petard.

  19. Scummy Humans on Why Did New Zealand's Moas Go Extinct? · · Score: 0

    If in doubt always blame the humans. We need a good nuclear war. Sheesh.

  20. The big question on Friendly Fungus Protects Our Mouths From Invaders · · Score: 0

    Does listerine kill it? Or other good symbiotes?

  21. I'd only care if there was Pie involved. on Happy Pi Day · · Score: 0

    How silly is the culture getting anyways.

  22. Is that why my cat is climbing the curtains? on Power Cables' UV Flashes Apparently Frighten Animals · · Score: 0

    Or did they not mean any power cord... :)

  23. This could be good news for Americans on How the NSA Plans To Infect 'Millions' of Computers With Malware · · Score: 0

    If only the NSA were on their side and not a maverick sovereign terrorist group!

  24. Gold rush on classic cars coming? on Volkswagen Chairman: Cars Must Not Become 'Data Monsters' · · Score: 0

    Let 'em try to big brother a '67 Mustang. No stinking GPS or other technojunk.

  25. Perhaps a judge does not need e-mail on Embarrassing Stories Shed Light On US Officials' Technological Ignorance · · Score: 0

    But if he's to make a judgement on the topic surely he must either learn about the subject first or recuse himself.
