  1. Re:WTF? on 9th-Grader May Face Charges After Homemade Clock Mistaken For Bomb · · Score: 1

    The charges wont be for building a clock. They will be for having brown skin.

  2. Re:You have got to be kidding me on Interviews: Ask Brianna Wu a Question · · Score: 0

    Congratulations slashdot, you just jumped the shark for me. A front page story about a scam artist with a victim complex and a direct link to a Patreon account so people can give her more money. Time to go find another tech news site.

    Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

  3. Big deal, hollywood has had this tech since the 90 on Millions of Voiceprints Quietly Being Harvested · · Score: 1

    Hi, my name is Werner Brandes. My voice is my passport. Verify Me.

  4. When requirements change in-sprint on Ask Slashdot: Development Requirements Change But Deadlines Do Not? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The sprint should start over. It encourages stakeholders to not interrupt the current sprint and to wait for the next sprint to shift priorities or introduce requirements.

  5. My podunk hometown made a story on Slashdot on 2 Men Accused of Trying To Make X-Ray Weapon · · Score: 1

    They were building this 'weapon' in an abandoned garage (used to be shorty's) in Schaghticoke NY.

    Thats twice in the national news in less than a month. The other time being for the dipshit cool kids on the yearbook staff leaving mean captions in the book that they meant to remove before printing.

  6. Re:~79%? on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 1

    If only that 79% believed in the same version of the divine creator then you might have a point.

  7. Re:First! on Capcom Announces Unreplayable Game · · Score: 1

    The better car analogy would be:

    You wouldn't rent a car for you trip for the cost of buying a new car?

  8. Re:Most people... on The "Scientific Impotence" Excuse · · Score: 1

    You don't say those words in this house...

    http://xkcd.com/473/

  9. Re:How do they enforce the ruling? on Belgium Tries to Fine Yahoo for Protecting US User Privacy · · Score: 1

    The only sensible course of action in this instance is similar to what google did. Respond to all requests coming in from Belgian IP addresses with a message stating why they can no longer access yahoo services. Allow the Belgian govt, to cut of thier own nose to spite their face.

  10. Re:If it's an exploit for ATM *Machines*... on Researcher Discovers ATM Hack, Gets Silenced · · Score: 1

    Not emulation. Just a machine for making ATMs. Kind of like MasterMold (from X-Men) for ATMs.

  11. Re:Work Experience on Go For a Masters, Or Not? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As someone who has done quite a bit of hiring over the past few years, ranging from interns in college to senior level developers with 20 or more years of experience in the field, I will tell you once you have some significant job experience to hang your hat on, the difference between a masters and a bachelors is fairly insignificant. Hopefully you are getting some real world work experience now as an intern while working on your degree. The only time where the difference between a masters degree and a bachelors degree has made a difference in our interview process is in deciding between similar entry level candidates with little to no job experience. Also in hiring interns we will typically favor masters students over undergrad students.

  12. Re:Signatures not required on Doctors Silencing Online Patient Reviews Via Contract · · Score: 1

    Don't sign your rights away. If they attempt to refuse service, remind them of the oath they took in order to practice medicine. An oath they are bound to.

  13. Re:Don't take freedom for granted on Wiretap Whistleblower, a Life in Limbo? · · Score: 1

    Just because he's paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after him.

  14. Jurisdiction over the web on Online Carpooling Service Fined In Canada · · Score: 3, Interesting

    seeing that PickupPal is a web based company, can't they just more their operations outside of the Ontario transportation board's jurisdiction and tell them where to shove their fine?

  15. He sued the Magna Carta? on Blizzard Sued By South Carolina Inmate · · Score: 1

    Magnificent.

  16. Re:Why is that even possible? on Greek Hackers Target CERN's LHC · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Couldn't you use a sneakernet link to the outside world instead?

  17. Re:A good start. on FTC Bans Prerecorded Telemarketing Drivel · · Score: 1

    Debt Collectors are the worse. My credit is perfect and my bills are paid. Yet i get a call every couple of days delivering an important message for Justin (my name isn't Justin, I don't know who Justin is) that is not a solicitation. When I call the 1-800 number it gives me to straiten the matter out, I can't get past their computer without entering an account number. WTF!!!! I don't have an account with you assholes, I just want you to stop calling me with recorded messages.

  18. Re:dubious, even if it "worked" on Man Sues Gateway Because He Can't Read EULA · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You can't sign a contract that violates the law any more than you can sell yourself into slavery.


    But you can join the armed forces.

  19. Re:$100 isn't enough on PS3 Price Cut To Follow End of Blu-ray Laser Shortage? · · Score: 1

    If they lowered it to $299 (which they wont) I would buy one today and probably spend another $300 on games and accessories. $600 for the machine, one controller and nothing to play puts you about $1000 in the whole before you get any use out of it.

  20. Re:What about Patrick Naughton? on Q&A With James Gosling, Father of Java · · Score: 1

    This may be the first actually funny "Soviet Russia" joke I've read on Slashdot.

  21. Re:Believe it or not... on Couple Who Catch Cop Speeding Could Face Charges · · Score: 1

    Drive through the barricade then. The accident will happen on your side of the street and if you truly are not speeding, skid marks will not prove otherwise.

  22. Re:Further proof on "Very Severe Hole" In Vista UAC Design · · Score: 1

    This seems to be on of the first time the 'defectivebydesign' tag that appears on all Windows articles is very appropriate. As opposed to the practice of blindly tagging all Windows articles this way.

  23. Re:The Supreme Court takes a step forward. on Supreme Court Declines to Hear Obscenity Case · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In this case you imported the obscene material. You may be prosecuted in your community for it.

  24. Re:Merely a First Measure on Suing Google Over Pagerank · · Score: 1

    Hey it seems to be working for the RIAA.

  25. Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. on Merck's Deleted Data · · Score: 5, Funny

    It looks like Merck deleted this submission.
