  1. Warranties on SSD Manufacturer OCZ Preparing For Bankruptcy · · Score: 5, Funny

    >> No word yet on what a Toshiba purchase would mean in terms of warranty support for OCZ's notoriously unreliable drives

    You can expect the same level of warranty service that you've always received from OCZ.

  5. Ribs on Ask Slashdot: What's On Your Hardware Lab Bench? · · Score: 1

    If your name is 50000BTU_barbecue, the answer better be "ribs".

  6. Yawn. on Mathematicians Team Up To Close the Prime Gap · · Score: 2, Funny

    >> which posits that there are infinitely many pairs of primes separated by only two (such as 11 and 13)

    Yawn. Call me when you find a set of primes separated by one.

  7. Put It On Plastic on Why Not Fund SETI With a Lottery Bond? · · Score: 1

    >> So investors purchase shares that the yield a fixed rate of interest until SETI succeeds.

    So basically, they want to buy something they can't afford by borrowing on the hopes of being able to afford it later. Dumb.

    I like the lottery part of the idea better (if it's legal). Spend 90% of the lottery proceeds and invest 10% for the future winner or to pay of dinner at Milliways, whichever comes first.

  8. Re:after all these years on Explorer Plans Hunt For Genghis Khan's Long-Lost Tomb · · Score: 5, Funny

  10. Re:Taste vs Effect on Scientist Seeks Investment For "Alcohol Substitute" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What's interesting is that the alcohol is such an important part of the taste of these drinks. I did an unfortunately large amount of research to find my wife a decent tasting NA beer to drink while pregnant (yes, I know there's still some alcohol in NA beer). And even the best of them (IMHO Thomasbrau, by Paulaner), just didn't taste right without the alcohol. I'd say the same of red wine where I did less extensive tasting and could find no NA wines that were even in the acceptable range.

  11. Re:You had me at ... on Scientist Seeks Investment For "Alcohol Substitute" · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Nut son married a Sachs girl and they now have a bunch of little ones running around with a wonderfully hyphenated last name.

  12. >> so... does this mean you aren't interested in the story about how they replaced the batteries in the remote?

    Maybe the batteries are dead? DNRTFA.

  13. Re:Passwords are property of the employer on Withhold Passwords From Your Employer, Go To Jail? · · Score: 1

    >> The only people up are idiots who don't know what happened, and enjoy making things up.

    If you are going to quote Abraham Lincoln at least try to get the quote right.

    Usually it is in and around the drumstick area.

    Dare to Hope; Prepare to be Disappointed.

  16. Re:KY gets it on How Kentucky Built the Country's Best ACA Exchange · · Score: 2

    >> and then worry about the pretty pretty

    For that matter, most sites can forgo pretty altogether.

    Google, Zillow, Amazon, Wunderground were all more usable and useful when they were simple.

    Lorentz Pffft! I use fast Fourier transform to calculate my emotions, and right now my results show nothing but scorn for anyone who uses Lorentz.
