  1. We found the flash programmer!

  2. Re:What's the difference? on Government Spy Truck Is Disguised As A Google Street View Car (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Minor quibble: Smallpox was eliminated in the 1970s

    It's also making a comeback due to the startling number of hippie parents who refuse to vaccinate their children resulting in the damage of the herd immunity.

  3. Down with them on 'Technology Will Replace the Need For Big Government' (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's never been a need for "Big Government",

    and we all know that technology has outpaced our obese overlords.

  4. Re:Freeloaders? on Software Security Suffers as Startups Lose Access To Google's Virus Data · · Score: 1

    This maybe so, but we're not turning around and trying to make mad money off said movie. Most of us anyway.

    So what does that make you?

    Damnit, I already spent all my mod points today!!!

  7. Elon Musk: 'We Need a Revolt Against the Fossil Fuel Industry'

    Then what exactly is going to charge your cars?

    Almost 3/4 of the energy provided to us these days is from the Fossil Fuel industry.

    I'm not disagreeing with Elon, as we need to invest more into alternative fuel sources, but he's basically trying to decapitate himself with this argument.

  8. No Surprise on Cops Deploy StingRay Anti-Terror Tech Against $50 Chicken-Wing Thief (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1, Informative

    I'm not surprised, this is Maryland we're talking about.

    Source: I live here.

  9. Idiots on Snapchat Sued For Facilitating 107 MPH Car Crash (patch.com) · · Score: 1

    I think this quote from TFA sums it up perfectly.

    A warning when users first open the speed filter feature urges them not to use it while driving.

    So why would the couple sue Snapchat? Sue the dumb bitch that thought going over 100mph while trying to take a picture on her iPhone was a good idea.

  10. My Upgrade from Windows 7 to Linux Mint was absolutely free.

  11. I didn't want it when it was free, I definitely wouldn't pay 120 dollars for it.

    Well you know, there's classified, then there's "Classified"

  14. Re:Hillary vs Trump on Ted Cruz Drops Out Of The Republican Presidential Race (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Shit.

    Hillary has had bad PR since the Watergate investigation when she was kicked off being one of the most dishonest lawyers Jerry Zeifman has ever seen.

    He regrets to this day that he did not report her to the bar association.

  15. Re:Taste is subjetive. on Lab-Grown Meat Is In Your Future, and It May Be Healthier Than the Real Stuff (smh.com.au) · · Score: 1

    That would be one way to weed down the population. It would take 16 adults worth of calories to grow 1 human to adulthood.

    Seems like a pretty good ratio to me.

    Damn liberal arts majors!!!

  17. There's some great waterfront property in Antarctica. I heard the taxes are very low there.

  20. There is a silver lining on Slashdot Asks: What's Your View On Benchmark Apps? · · Score: 1

    Benchmarks are great tools since they are repeatable and give you a picture of what your hardware, phone, etc is capable of.

    However I've learned never to rely on the benchmarks alone as they normally don't mimic real world usage scenarios.

    Tl;dr, great for reference and stress test, bad for real world usage.

    This sounds like the beginning of the next Saw movie.

    Body donor is brain-dead.

    Cells in the body begin to decay as soon as blood flow ceases, so that's a problem.

  24. Surprise! on iTunes Turns 13 Today -- Continues To Be 'Awful' (qz.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And here I was thinking iTunes was only awful on Windows for obvious reasons.

    I agree with you completely on the support issue.

    Trying to get any kind of support from HP is akin to pulling alligator teeth.
