  1. Nope. He's gonna be frozen in hopes of being revived in the future. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  2. Send a probe or a manned flight to a black hole on How Would an Astronaut Falling Into a Black Hole Die? · · Score: 1

    We should test this with hotdogs and marshmallows, and see how they taste.

  3. Thank Dog on Curiosity Snaps 'Arm's Length' Self Portrait · · Score: 1

    No duckface.

  4. Re:Cthulhu printers... on Physicist Explains Cthulhu's "Non-Euclidean Geometry" · · Score: 1

    So THAT'S why the printer ink runs out so quickly... all becomes clear.

    Literally clear. The non-Euclidean ink doesn't reflect light in the same way in our space-time continuum.

  5. Amazon is dead on Amazon EBS Failure Brings Down Reddit, Imgur, Others · · Score: 1

    Netcraft confirms it.

  6. Re:Summary of the last 15 years on CmdrTaco Looks Back on Fifteen Years of Slashdot · · Score: 2

    I see what you did there. For great justice!

  7. Re:Beware new jeans! on Ask Slashdot: Best Protection Plan For Your Phone? · · Score: 1

    Stone washed jeans? Stop livin' in the 70s, man. Live in the now!

  8. Obligatory on Monkeys Made Smarter With Prosthetic Device · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome a Beowulf cluster of our retarded cyborg crackhead monkey overlords! Hot grits! Natalie Portman! etc.

    Do they run Linux?

  9. Re:It will certainly succeed on Nintendo WiiU Price and Release Date Announced · · Score: 2

    All Wii accessories will be compatible. http://reviews.cnet.com/nintendo-wii-u/

    However, it will not upscale original Wii games. http://www.ign.com/wikis/wii-u/Frequently_Asked_Questions

    This is unfortunate. The Dolphin emulator has been able to render GameCube and Wii games at 1080p for a couple of years now.

  10. Re:Marketing on Why Are Operating System Version Names So Absurd? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mac OS X Cringer.
    Then they can license "By the power of Greyskull! I have the POWER!!!!" as a marketing gimmick to promote the following release, Mac OS X Battle Cat.

  11. Re:Give them away on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Found Calculators? · · Score: 2

    So all we really need is a graphic calculator cartridge for the DS.

    Done, over half a decade ago. http://blog.davr.org/2006/10/15/ds85-release-2/

    You do need a flash cart, though. But those are cheap these days.

  12. Re:Not just space, but research in general... on Space Vs. Poverty Debate In India · · Score: 1

    It's theorized that it was borrowed from forest fires and lightning strikes and stuff then after that, humans developed ways to light a fire manually.

    So rubbing sticks together was even more worthless. They already had fire, and they were wasting time trying to figure out how to make it from scratch. *shakes head*

    Well, they were cavemen. What did you expect?

  13. Re:Steam punk it on Ask Slashdot: Best Use For an Old Smartphone? · · Score: 1
  14. Re:I wonder what a beowulf cluster of these would on Ask Slashdot: Best Use For an Old Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    Something like the MIT junkyard jumbotron then?
    http://jumbotron.media.mit.edu/

    Damn, my mod points just expired. +11, Awesome. I've got a bunch of tablets and old laptops. I definitely need to try this.

  15. Re:To be fair on The Worst Apple Store In America — An Employee Confession · · Score: 1

    And don't get me started on that Starbucks coffee! 25 cents of beans and cup for $3! What are they thinking??

    Um.... profit?

  16. Re:Linux on Mac?! on Linux Is a Lemon On the Retina MacBook Pro · · Score: 1

    Why in the world would you even try to do it? What is the goal of this endeavour?

    Some men just want to watch the world burn.

  17. Re:Great.... on Bill Gates Wants To Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 3, Funny

    can't wait to see for the BSOD on that.

    Would that be the Brown Screen of Death?

    Brown Spray of Death.

  18. Re:COOLEST ... STORY TITLE ... EVER on First Mummies May Have Been Inspired by Field of Corpses · · Score: 1

    Indeed, the story title is quite metal. "Field of Corpses" would be a great band name.

  19. Re:"They get along like green eggs and ham" on Software Engineering Has Its Own Political Axis From Conservative To Liberal · · Score: 1

    Wait till you have kids, you can read it as many times, probably several more than that, actually. Would you like me to read it to you now from memory, or in a tree or on a boat, or with a goat?

    Sign me up for the goat option.

  20. Re:Much better plan on Minneapolis Police Catalog License Plates and Location Data · · Score: 1

    1) Put up your own license scanner for the same roads the official ones are on.

    2) Gather data for a year.

    3) Download the official list, and see who they deleted...

    NOW you have something juicy.

    4) Publish route to Batcave

  21. Re:Discovery Canada on Curiosity Lands On Mars · · Score: 1

    Really? Damn, I wish I'd known about this. I had a HD NASA TV stream coming out of the Roku, which was cool, but that Xbox app would have been sweet.

  22. Re:Awesome! on F-Secure Report: Another SCADA Attack in Iran — This Time With AC/DC · · Score: 1

    Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

  23. Re:Iron Man on F-Secure Report: Another SCADA Attack in Iran — This Time With AC/DC · · Score: 1

    It sounds like Tony Stark may have had a hand in this one.

    What happens when Tony Stark/Iron man becomes infected by a virus?

    Didn't you see Iron Man 2? Granted, it wasn't Tony Stark, but it was one of his suits.

  24. This is a prototype Metroid on Artificial Jellyfish Built From Silicone and Rat Cells · · Score: 1

    Better call Samus.

  25. Re:It's not the packaging, it's the seal on Worst Design Ever? Plastic Clamshell Packaging · · Score: 5, Funny

    bring a jacket or hoodie, lay it over the basket, carry something around then pretend to be looking through the pockets while you're cutting it open under the jacket.

    Helpful shoplifting tips like this are why I keep coming back to Slashdot.
