  1. Container Store on Doomsday Docker Security Hole Uncovered (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I got a malicious container from the Container Store. I blame Marie Kondo.

  2. Re:Sales over first 3 years on Slashdot Asks: Is the Golden Era of Video-Game Console Sales Over? · · Score: 1

    Except even though Xbox 360 was good for Microsoft, it still sold less worldwide than both the Wii and the PS3 (which was released later)

  3. Re:Sales over first 3 years on Slashdot Asks: Is the Golden Era of Video-Game Console Sales Over? · · Score: 3, Informative

    The original article has a small blurb that compares sales over the first three years:

    Microsoft’s follow-up console, the Xbox One, has not sold nearly as well as the 360. In 2008, less than three years after it was launched, the company said the 360 had sold over 19 million units worldwide. The Xbox One was released in 2013, and has sold about 10 million units in roughly the same amount of time as its predecessor.

    Sales for the first 3 years are bad for Xbox One. Sales of PS4 compared to PS3 for the first 3 years are very promising.

    They are implying that everyone is having a bad time because Microsoft is having a bad time.

  4. Re:Let's Remember the Important Thing Here on Landfall Nears For Strongest Hurricane In Recorded History (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    This one is going to happen and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Steps are already in place to minimize the damage.

    The discussion is about global warming/climate change because it shows that this is the first of many recordbreakers and puts the focus on how to prevent or lessen future hurricanes.

    Plus it's a little short sighted to only focus on this one, and forget about the topic afterwards until the next one happens.

    You only wish it was sugar. Americans eat HFCS.

  6. Re:Futurama's still on? on The Futurama of Physics · · Score: 1, Funny

    I thought FOX (bastards!) canceled that show over 5 years ago [...]

    The bastards at Fox did cancel the show. The new episodes are going to run on Comedy Central.

    I'm sorry, don't you mean the BOX network?

  7. Nevada? on Area 51's Lead Designer Admits Project Was 'F'd Up' · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I thought we were talking about the actual facility in Nevada...

    That's because there's one granny driving at 20kph, with a long lineup of 5000 waiting to pass her

    Haha!

    "Colour is a very important part of fruit marketing," she says. "If fruit doesn't look good, consumers are far less likely to buy it, no matter how good it might taste.
      Are these the same geniuses that thought that green ketchup would be a hit?

  10. Transformers on Mars Probe Probably Lost Forever · · Score: 4, Funny

    Was that the one crushed by the Decepticons? I don't think we'll be recovering it anytime soon.

  11. PS3 and Wii on Here Come the Leonids 2006 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Nov 17 -19? Wow, when Sony and Nintendo call for fireworks at the launch parties, they get really serious! Those Japs really know how to party.

    Something special for all those in line by Best Buy... in the cold... staring up at the sky

  12. Re:Bush Lies Again on North Korea Air Sample Shows Radiation · · Score: 0

    So Bush was the one that said North Korea DOESN'T have nukes?
    And Bush was the one that said Iraq DID have nukes?

    I think what we have here is a case where Bush failed high-school geography...

  13. Reverse the roles on Covert CCTV Monitoring in the Workplace? · · Score: 0

    I think she should install her own CCTV at her cubicle, aimed at her employer's desk.
    If her employer has nothing to hide, then he/she has nothing to worry about!

    Two can play at that game!

    http://www2.ignatius.edu/faculty/turner/languages. htm

    Chinese outnumbers all other languages in the world. I think they're just preparing to take over the internet.

    Over the next 20 years the majority of web pages will shift from English to Chinese anyway

  16. C++ is a language too! on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 0

    If you can program perfect C++, with all the brackets properly placed and have it syntactically correct, then how come the comments for that code end up like this?

    //This code makes sure their isn't an infinate loop

    Maybe the compilers should come with spell checkers too.
