  1. Do you have any salsa? on The Bitcoin Death Star: KnC Plans 10 Megawatt Data Center In Sweden · · Score: 1

    Your sitting in it.

  2. Alfred Nobel invented dynamite on Edward Snowden Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    Alfred Nobel invented dynamite. He then used the profits from selling it to give an award to people who refrained from using it.

  3. Just wants to publish a mobile app and get rich... on Ask Slashdot: It's 2014 -- Which New Technologies Should I Learn? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The guy just wants to publish a mobile app and get rich... using "the smallest set of 'new technologies" possible.

    The answer is obviously the entire iPhone/Pad development environment and the entire android development environment.

    No need to worry about blackberry or windows phone so that cuts down the requirements a little bit.

  4. I found the very first glasshole! on Google Glass User Fights Speeding Ticket, Saying She's Defending the Future · · Score: 1

    He was so dedicated he wanted to die wearing his!

    First Glasshole

  5. Dealing with glassholes in Skyrim on Google Glass User Fights Speeding Ticket, Saying She's Defending the Future · · Score: 1

    I found the best way to deal with glassholes in Skyrim was a warhammer!

  6. Obligatory XKCD on Encrypted Messaging Startup Wickr Offers $100K Bug Bounty · · Score: 1

    Would the 100k cover lawyers expenses if you used this method?

  7. Re:I'm in the US on How To Make 96,000lbs of WWII Machinery Into High-Tech Research Platform · · Score: 1

    Yeah I swapped my units. But you appear to be cooking vampires. t-bone stakes indeed. ;)

  8. I'm in the US on How To Make 96,000lbs of WWII Machinery Into High-Tech Research Platform · · Score: 1

    I'm in the US and I guesstimate a kilo to be just under a half pound. So divide the number of pounds in half, then you have a rough value for the conversion.

    So 1000 kilograms is around 500 lbs. Just don't use it as a conversion of a woman's weight. You may well feel the pain of that "rounding" error.

  9. In the future on How To Make 96,000lbs of WWII Machinery Into High-Tech Research Platform · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should print US currency on soft rolls of paper. Then people can't say it isn't worth a crap!

  10. Back off! on Irish Politician Calls For Crackdown On Open Source Internet Browsers · · Score: 1
  11. Star Wars is a historical account. on First Survey of Commercially Viable Asteroids Estimates Only 10 Are Worth Mining · · Score: 1

    Star Wars is a historical account.

    It isn't a work of fiction about a socialistic society run by a giant space navy.

  12. Re:Delicious on Stellar Trio Could Put Einstein's Theory of Gravity To the Test · · Score: 1

    You don't know what you are talking aboot eh!?!

  13. Private cloud on Why Cloud Infrastructure Pricing Is Absurd · · Score: 2

    They call that a private cloud. People with sensitive data requirements need to use that to enjoy the cloud. You do not get the price breaks you get for public/shared infrastructure clouds.

  14. Bra Wars on Microsoft's New Smart Bra Could Stop You From Over Eating · · Score: 1

    And Apple will offer many different, often bright pastel and neon, colors. Microsoft's will only come in brown.

  15. DR Garage on How To Hijack a Drone For $400 In Less Than an Hour · · Score: 1

    I want to know who this DR Garage is! He signs for all of my UPS deliveries!

  16. highest suicide rate on New Education Performance Data Published: Asia Dominates · · Score: 1
  17. I read/watch Game of Thrones! on Geeks For Monarchy: The Rise of the Neoreactionaries · · Score: 1

    I read/watch Game of Thrones! But I do NOT want to play it myself.

  18. Re:many problems become much easier on Ask Slashdot: How Reproducible Is Arithmetic In the Cloud? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    "many problems become much easier when you assume a suitably large pile of money."

    So explain healthcare.gov problems? Was it crushed under the weight of all the money spent on it?

  19. US Distances on Norway's Army Battles Global Warming By Going Vegetarian · · Score: 1

    Distance from my home and work: 16 miles
    Distance from my home and nearest gas station: 3.5 miles
    Distance from my home to nearest grocery store: 10 miles

    No public transit available. Round trip to grocery store would cost ~$40 in a taxi if one was available at that time.

    I live closer to work than some people. My commute is shorter in time due to less congestion on the roads I have to drive on.

  20. No they would not move away! on Cupertino Approves New Apple Spaceship HQ · · Score: 5, Funny

    They are building a space ship so they can "fly away" if the city doesn't cooperate. Read the bloody article!

  21. In other coutries... on Ask Slashdot: Can You Trust Online Tax Software? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I heard that in other countries the government calculates the taxes and sends a bill. How can it make sense that the government that makes the rules leaves it to the people to figure out what/if they owe and only look at it after the fact? How does that make any sense at all?

  22. Joke all you want on Explorer Plans Hunt For Genghis Khan's Long-Lost Tomb · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Joke all you want, but according to a Darwinian fitness perspective he was one of the most successful humans to have ever lived.

  23. Putting the cart before the horse. on Sen. Chuck Schumer Seeks To Extend Ban On 'Undetectable' 3D-Printed Guns · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They should just make killing people illegal. Surely that will stop someone from using any weapon to do it because criminals always obey the law.

  24. Preexisting Art on Personal Genomics Firm 23andMe Patents Designer Baby System · · Score: 1

    I think that would be considered preexisting art. Well at for those that read the Kama Sutra!

  25. May they fired 9/10 of these guys too. on Health Exchange Sites Crushed By Demand; Shutdown Blanks Other Gov't Sites · · Score: 1

    May they fired 9/10 of these guys too. You know. For security reason.
