  1. Missing the point on How Cochlear Implants Are Being Blamed For Killing Deaf Culture · · Score: 1

    Once implants get better than actual hearing, the rest of us will be the new "deaf" and we get to inherit the culture.

    I got titanium and bone grafts, so doesn't matter if the machines or the zombies rise up, I am already a Zomborg!

  2. Is this proof? on How Cochlear Implants Are Being Blamed For Killing Deaf Culture · · Score: 1
  3. You are going off the plane.... on Mozilla CEO Firestorm Likely Violated California Law · · Score: 1

    You are going off the plane....you have a golden parachute in one hand and your lawyer's number in the other... which one you going to use?

    Choose your own CEO adventure!

  4. Stop joking... on Online Skim Reading Is Taking Over the Human Brain · · Score: 1

    My company approved some technical training. So now I am watching the Ukraine news waiting for WW3 to breakout before I get to go!

  5. Easy Mater! on Smart Car Tipping Trending In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    Easy Mater! Don't go giving them kids ideas about messing with cows. Unlike hipsters, they will fight back.

  6. I created an online service... on Canonical Shutting Down Ubuntu One File Services · · Score: 1

    I created an online service to show everyone else what I chose to use:

    Because every time I choose something it dies a horrible death.

    My LS-120 Drive
    My barely Pre-HD Digital Camcorder

    So just don't choose what I choose and you will be fine.

    Oh and that service, yeah they closed that down to, so never mind.

  7. If you paid extra.... on Judge Overrules Samsung Objection To Jury Instructional Video · · Score: 1

    If you paid extra....the streaks could come in other colors.

  8. Do what you want to Servo... on Intel Upgrades MinnowBoard: Baytrail CPU, Nearly Halves Price To $99 · · Score: 2

    Do what you want to Servo...never liked that guy anyway, but you better leave Crow alone!

  9. Give me Predator Vision! on Contact Lenses With Infrared Vision? · · Score: 1

    Give me Predator Vision! This would totally rock, but would prefer light weight glasses instead of contact lenses.

  10. Social Interaction Guide for the Geek/Engineer on Hacking Charisma · · Score: 1

    Tuck your most recent pay stub in your front pocket with the company logo showing.
    Go to any bar in your area with a large number of people.
    Buy alcohol.

    That is all you have to do.

  11. In the elven forest... on Hacking Charisma · · Score: 1

    In the elven forest... the half-elven warrior mage princess plays you!

  12. Re:Not elegant at all on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Consider Elegant Code? · · Score: 1

    Could be worse. Often you see:

    if (b = ) return true; else return false;

    Where = is assignment.

  13. Excel for the win on Google Glass Signs Deal With Ray Ban's Parent Company · · Score: 1

    I knew people in the "real world" use Excel for a database. I did not know they used them for professional document editing too. Thanks for clearing that up.

  14. Sssshhhhhh.... on Adam Carolla Joins Fight Against Podcast Patent Troll · · Score: 1

    Quiet, do not insult the USPTO overlords. They might decide software patches are "episodic content".

    No more patching games after the fact without paying the trolls then!

  15. Re:"...he was angry over a poor performance review on Ex-Microsoft Employee Arrested For Leaking Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    He really didn't like having to wear the Window 8.1 "Start Menu" flair!

    Something tells me....he is going to catch a ton of flac over this.

    If you stare at a double sun...do you go blind in both eyes or just one eye twice as fast?

    What really ticks me off is when the ads work but the damn main video is "broken and unavailable".

  19. Monster Cable Pono Edition on Neil Young's "Righteous" Pono Music Startup Raises $1 Million With Kickstarter · · Score: 1

    With diamond dust (*May or may not actually contain dust from real diamonds) glazed gold connectors.

  20. Re:" known pattern" on Men And Women Think Women Are Bad At Basic Math · · Score: 1

    That is a good way to think of it. To mathematicians these are " known pattern" but to the average person they might as well be magic. I know plenty of women who are "not good at math" but can make complex crochet and needlepoint patterns without thinking about it. To them, those are just " known pattern".

  21. Easy old timer... on Interviews: Ask Larry Augustin What You Will · · Score: 1

    Easy old timer...just go back to sleep. We won't party like its 1999 until next year, promise.

    All my mom knows how to do is multiply...but that is why I have seven siblings.

  23. No computer access/internet in jail on Drones Used To Smuggle Drugs Into Prison · · Score: 1

    But did you account for....the California house wife who dies of stress related to the idea that radiation from Japan got into her organic cow milk soy blend?

  25. Flip a coin... on 3 Years Later: A Fukushima Worker's Eyewitness Story · · Score: 1

    Flip a coin...heads they would have done better, tails worse. If the coin lands on its edge they would do exactly the same.
