  1. Re:And... it's gone on North Korean Missile Raised To Firing Position, Says US Official · · Score: 1

    So, this is as good as he gets? That's a scary thought!

  2. An explaination on North Korean Missile Raised To Firing Position, Says US Official · · Score: 1

    This is NK's way of giving us the finger.

  3. Re:Well the ultimate value of a dollar is on BitCoin Value Collapses, Possibly Due To DDoS · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I've heard people talk about "taping" a show on their DVR. :-P

  4. Re:Really, it's that hard? on Yokohama Accidentally Tweets That NK Missile Is Inbound · · Score: 1

    So, those tweets & texts I've gotten were life-and-death? That explains why they were so incoherent!

  5. Re:Ubuntu Minimal on Linux Fatware: Distros That Need To Slim Down · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't it be called "Minbuntu"? :)

  6. Re:Where are the ARM Books? on Why You Should Worry About the Future of Chromebooks · · Score: 1

    Samsung's Chromebook is an ARM. Acer's is an x86.

  7. Not just planes on Samoa Air Rolling Out "Pay As You Weigh" Fares · · Score: 1

    Awhile back, I noticed a "Sky Tram" ride had a limit of 300 lb per couple. I understand why they did that, but it was still annoying, since at the time, I was over 200, and my GF was certainly well over 100.

  8. Re:ChromeOS is the problem not the hardware on Why You Should Worry About the Future of Chromebooks · · Score: 1

    Most of what people do, such as email, web surfing, social media, or even anti-social media (slashdot), is dependent on the Internet. The Chromebook is only slightly worse than a conventional machine in that respect.

  9. How old was the grandfather? on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Explain That Humans Didn't Ride Dinosaurs? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He might have first-hand knowledge.

  10. Re:Enough is enough on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Explain That Humans Didn't Ride Dinosaurs? · · Score: 1

    Sadly, the encrypted version made more sense than the unencrypted one.

  11. Re:This is why we make you take off your shoes. on Fighting TSA Harassment of Disabled Travelers · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, I get accused off terrorism AFTER I take my shoes off. :(

  12. I have to admit on Bitcoin Currency Surpasses 20 National Currencies In Total Value · · Score: 2

    Bitcoin is probably safer than Cyprus banks.

  13. Re:Find out who your real friends are on The Man Who Sold Shares of Himself · · Score: 1

    But, shouldn't you be able to trust your friends to make decisions for you?

  14. Re:Sorry if I sound dumb on USPS Discriminates Against 'Atheist' Merchandise · · Score: 1

    Heh! I once got a pair of shoes with the worst soles ever. They were destroyed in less than a week. I guess they went to heaven.

  15. Re:Translation assistance needed! on No "Ungoogleable" In Swedish Lexicon, Thanks to Google · · Score: 1

    If it's not in a dictionary, it's one step closer to being ungoogleable.

  16. It's done the next best thing; it's let us know whenever the politicians take a dump.

  17. Re:there is only one word you need to know on LazyHusband Smart Phone App Compliments Your Wife for You (Video) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Someone who's married?

  18. Re:Solar power on Where Can You Find an Electric Vehicle Charging Network? Estonia · · Score: 1

    Not in my state. We'd be better off sticking a sail to the car and using wind power.

  19. Re:Hares still didn't evolve though on Roadkill Forcing Cliff Swallows To Evolve · · Score: 1

    That's because your mom let the first hare go and it reproduced a bunch of stupid hares like it was. If she had taken out the hare, the survivors might have been smarter.

  20. Re:Corrupt Culture of Waste on Why Earth Hour Is a Waste of Time and Energy · · Score: 1

    Considering that you're posting here, you clearly don't want to give up your computer either, and I assume you're not freezing in your house in the winter.

  21. Re:Nothing new on Researcher: Hackers Can Jam Traffic By Manipulating Real-Time Traffic Data · · Score: 2

    The other day, there was a power outage that caused several traffic lights in my neighborhood to go dark while I was driving with my GF. I uttered a word and she said it was no big deal, just treat it as a 4-way stop, and I said "Yeah, but what about all the idiots who don't know that".

  22. Re:iGoogle on Ask Slashdot: Which Google Project Didn't Deserve To Die? · · Score: 2

    Exactly this! I'm still using iGoogle, and I haven't decided on an alternative homepage, but when I do, it won't be from Google.

  23. Re:support for odf in Google Docs on Ask Slashdot: Which Google Project Didn't Deserve To Die? · · Score: 1

    You can't view them IN Google Docs, but you can import/export .odf files.

  24. Re:Much better than the alternative on Doctors Bypass Biometric Scanners With Fake Fingers · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and I'm sure I've seen movies where that happened with eye scanners!

  25. Re:Just because you can't hear it. on Windfarm Sickness Spreads By Word of Mouth · · Score: 1

    It's because the low frequency sound from the blades is the same frequency as the Brown Note[.]

    Although I haven't read any analyses of wind turbine sound, I think you're referring to infrasound; "brown note" (not to be confused with brown noise) refers to a phenomenon generally regarded to be fictitious.

    I thought it sounded like crap.
