  1. In Soviet Russia, Last Jedi pan YOU!

  2. Where will this score be displayed? on Facebook is Rating Users Based On Their 'Trustworthiness' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Is Zuckerberg is planning on the user's right hand, or perhaps the forehead?

  3. Easy fix for coconuts, at least. on Should the Word 'Milk' Be Used To Describe Nondairy Milk-Alternative Products? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Just require it be sold pre-mixed with rum and pinapple juice. Then you can just call it "Piña colada".

  4. Now do the Sopranos, please.

  5. Re: The safest router is... on Ask Slashdot: Which Is the Safest Router? · · Score: 1

    I have a 690. It's great, but I wouldn't say it's always safe. I have a few bits that give it a huge twist when you start it, even with two hands. I've been meaning to buy or make a table for it, which will help, especially when using bigger 1/2" shank edging bits.

  6. So, I had Shredded Wheat for breakfast, and turkey on rye for lunch. Here are the latest photos of Bob, my golden retriever: www.bite.me/now. My current status is: Cynical * 100. So, it looks like y'all are up to speed. I guess I won't install that Facebook app after all. Sorry Zuck, you can't have my contacts, my credit card #s, or my bank records, and I don't really need any more ads for non-gmo milk for that shredded wheat, or Alpo for Bob, but thanks anyway.

  7. Do you have to stay on the surface at all times? on The Longest Straight Path You Could Travel On Water Without Hitting Land (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    If you have a submarine, you could go under the north pole.

  8. Re:Boiling frogs on PSA: Amazon Will Increase Price of Prime To $119 (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I assume you mean the parable where a frog sitting in water that is slowly heated won't notice it until it is too late, but one thrown in the hot water will immediately jump out. Someone in the Harvard Biology Department actually tested this, and it works the exact opposite way. If you throw a frog in boiling water, it will die instantly. If you put them in cold water and heat it, they will get uncomfortable and jump out.

  9. Generator + treadmill + Jack Russell Terrier + squirrel (or cat)

  10. LinkedIn required degrees? on LinkedIn Testing 1970's-Style No-CS-Degree-Required Software Apprenticeships (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    They wanted degrees in the first place? You need a CS degree to generate spam?
    "Joe-Blow-you-have-not-thought-about-in-11-years is still waiting for your response to his invitation on LinkedIn!!"

  11. How about Dark Star on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1
    Dark Star, with the best costumes you can buy on a $2500 budget, and Doolittle teaching phenomenology to Bomb 20!

    Doolittle: How do you know that you exist?

    Bomb 20: Intuition

    Doolittle: You can't base everything on intuition.

    Bomb 20: I think. Therefore I am.

  12. Depends if the Spinning Wheel of Death will let me on Slashdot Asks: Windows 10 Creators Update Goes Live On April 11, Will You Upgrade? · · Score: 1

    My one Windows 10 PC, a laptop, just received an automatic update and is now in the Spinning Wheel of Death. The one nice thing about the Spinning Wheel of Death is that it prevents it from booting up and receiving more shitty updates from Microsoft. What a P.O.S. My Windows 7 machines employ active measures to prevent them from being infected with Windows 10.

  13. Re:Not all word salad is spam on Kindle Unlimited Scammers Gaming the System At the Expense of Real Authors (annchristy.com) · · Score: 1

    It's the first two paragraphs. I once used an emacs that had a command you could run, transmogrify text, that would temporarily turn your text into stream of consciousness style prose in the style of Finnegan's Wake.

  14. Not all word salad is spam on Kindle Unlimited Scammers Gaming the System At the Expense of Real Authors (annchristy.com) · · Score: 1
    How to distinguish a garbage book generated to game the payment system from an unreadable book written by some earnest, but delusional and untalented author? And from those and, say, Finnegan's Wake?

    riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.

    Sir Tristram, violer d’amores, fr’over the short sea, had passen-core rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor had topsawyer’s rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse to Laurens County’s gorgios while they went doublin their mumper all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to tauftauf thuartpeatrick not yet, though venissoon after, had a kidscad buttended a bland old isaac: not yet, though all’s fair in vanessy, were sosie sesthers wroth with twone nathandjoe.

    Joyce had a big enough body of work to say he does not fall in the second category, but if this book came along today, how would you tell? Maybe this is the Kindle equivalent of comparing one of those paintings made by an elephant given a brush with "real" abstract art.

  15. How about a BSOD Haiku on Microsoft's BSOD Is Getting More Descriptive With QR Codes (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    There were actually a bunch of them published somewhere once. This is the only one I remember (slightly updated):

    Windows 10 has crashed.
    I am the Blue Screen of Death.
    No one hears you scream.

  16. OEM only--where to find? on Samsung Unveils First PCIe 3.0 x4-Based M.2 SSD, Delivering Speeds of Over 2GB/s · · Score: 1

    According to TFA, it's being release to oem's only. I think Samsung did that for their previous gen PCIe 2.0 ssd also. Does anyone have an idea where to look for these, or an idea when they might become available to individual system builders? BTW, the Asus X99 MB's have a slot for these. Probably other brands of X99 MB's too.
