  1. Re:Figures on Best Buy To Carve Out Space For Microsoft Stores · · Score: 1

    Arm the competing mini stores with Nerf weapons and let the games begin!

  2. Re:Windows 9? on Best Buy To Carve Out Space For Microsoft Stores · · Score: 2

    Zune RT?

  3. Re:Quid Pro Quo? on Man Who Sold $100 Million Worth of Pirated Software Gets 12 Years In Prison · · Score: 1

    If an American protested China's occupation of Tibet in the streets of Beijing, he WOULD be arrested. See how that works?

  4. Re:Nuber not that impressive on Man Who Sold $100 Million Worth of Pirated Software Gets 12 Years In Prison · · Score: 1

    They also own a yacht and have oil wells. I saw it on an episode of Dallas.

  5. By that standard, Jeffrey Skilling (Enron) should get off because he was *only* decreasing someone else's retirement account.

  6. Re:Good on Man Who Sold $100 Million Worth of Pirated Software Gets 12 Years In Prison · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...and then there were no remaining AOL users.

  7. Geek Savior on Half a Billion PCs To Ship In 2013, As Desktops and Laptops Dip But Tablets Grow · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Millions of geeks saddled with supporting family and friends who have no business getting near a general purpose computer, celebrate the advent of tablets for browsing/email/casual gaming.

  8. Re:This MS fanboy is looking hard at Sony this tim on Sony's PS4 To Have Less Stringent DRM Than Microsoft's Xbox One · · Score: 4, Informative

    ...there is less of that authentication/DRM drama

    Out of the frying pan and into the fire. After Sony updated the PS3 so that is won't play video files it suspects are pirated, it would be foolish to buy more from them thinking they have better DRM policy. Remember, they can update the PS4 ANYTIME to withdraw anything they say now, and you know they will.

  9. Re:This is impossible. on NSA Surveillance Heat Map: NSA Lied To Congress · · Score: 1

    ...you are very unpatriotic.

    I'm very patriotic. I'm wearing my government issued microphone shaped lapel pin right now while singing the B-52's Love Shack out of tune and with incorrect lyrics.

    I'ts a little old place where we can buy a sweater, LOVE SHACK BAYAAABEEEEE!

    Uncommon patriotism from a common citizen.

  10. Better Days on Google Loves The Internship; Critics Not So Much · · Score: 1

    Vince Vaughan peaked with Clay Pigeons and Owen Wilson with The Minus Man. How far they fall.

  11. Re:Well, one problem down. on Atomic Bombs Help Solve Brain Mystery · · Score: 1

    Bang a gong!

  12. Re:but no unemployment for displaced workers on NSA Building $860 Million Data Center In Maryland · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unemployed workers have no lobbyists. The security industry does.

  13. Re:It's bad form on Israeli Army Retweeting 1967 War As It Happened · · Score: 1

    ...focus their attention on war

    Euphemisms aside, they are at war. Not focusing on it is a sure ticket to extinction.

  14. Re:Seems an unnecessary feature on Keyless Remote Entry For Cars May Have Been Cracked · · Score: 2

    ...the secondary crime scene, where the homicide (yours) takes place.

    Like this from yesterday.

    That's some sad stuff.

  15. Re:Target Microsoft on Google Security Expert Finds, Publicly Discloses Windows Kernel Bug · · Score: 2

    ...forget about "do no evil".

    Google is still better than AT&T, whose motto is "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." Executive bonus recovery fee tagged to your wireless bill: $0.96

  16. 40 pounds carried? on How Google Street View Keeps an Eye on Things Where There Are No Streets (Video) · · Score: 2

    I saw a sign on the rim when starting a hike into the canyon. It said something to the effect of be prepared or risk injury. The risk injury portion was scratched away and scrawled on top was "you will die". A 40 pound camera would certainly speed that process.

  17. Re:Is it Real? on Footage Reveals Drone Aircraft Nearly Downed Passenger Plane in 2004 · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's the drone's genitalia, it was trying to mate with that big sexy mama.

  18. Re:Windows Red looks horrible on A Serious Proposal To Fix Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Windows RT is an echo of Windows NT PowerPC/Alpha. It is an interesting exercise, poorly executed and without sustained support from Microsoft. Two years from now, it will be a tech history curiosity along with the hardware any MS "partner" was foolish enough to build.

  19. Reduced Expectations on CRTC Unveils New Wireless Code To Protect Canadian Customers · · Score: 4, Informative

    Rampant corporate misbehavior has so desensitized the public that weak half measures are applauded. The chance your carrier will break into your house, light your dog on fire and crap on your carpet has been somewhat reduced. Rejoice!

  20. Re:A confederacy of douchebags. on Kim Dotcom Wins Case Against NZ Police To Get Seized Material Back · · Score: 1

    There is a line in the movie Digby Goes Down that sums it up nicely: "I'm drowning in assholes."

  21. Re:It's still under investigation on GMO Wheat Found Growing Wild In Oregon, Japan Suspends Import From U.S. · · Score: 3, Funny

    We'll have to wheat and see what their report says...

    As my pappy used to say: If you are corn-fused, you might be standing in a wheat field. Then he was killed by a thresher.

  22. Rebirth! on Casting a Harsh Light On Chinese Solar Panels · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We can create a domestic solar panel industry to replace the cheap defective solar panels bought from a country that helped destroy our previous domestic solar panel industry. Bark! Bark! Bark! We will catch that tail eventually.

  23. You're young and have your health... on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Work On Projects While Traveling? · · Score: 1

    ... what do you want with a job? (Quote from Raising Arizona) Seriously, enjoy the time off you have earned instead of polluting it with a development project. You will have plenty of time to sit in front of a screen when you are done, assuming you still want to stare at a screen.

  24. Re:Metaphores. on Apple-1 Sells For $671,400, Breaks Previous Auction Record · · Score: 1

    Satan was a quiet, friendly neighbor. Always maintained his garden and kept the walk free of trash. I don't see why people give him so much grief.

  25. Re:Another week, another WhiteHouse scandal on Ex-Marine Detained Under Operation Vigilant Eagle For His Political Views Sues · · Score: 2

    the administration put out a report saying that veterans are terrorists...

    10 seconds of reading shows your statement is complete kooky bullshit. The report says right wing extremists are a threat, like Timothy McVeigh. Do you really expect people to take your extraordinary claims at face value?
