  1. I bet... on Iron Man 3 To Debut As a 4DX Film In Japan · · Score: 2

    I bet smelling Pepper would make me sneeze!

  2. Wrong! on Foxconn Signs Massive Android Patent Agreement With Microsoft · · Score: 1

    You cast the result to a Boolean you imbecile!

  3. Don't worry... on Some States Dropping GED Tests Due To Price Spikes · · Score: 1

    Don't worry... they will hire highly qualified contractors to make the test.

    Probably the same consultants they pay $100k+ to change the name of courses like changing typing to keyboarding.

  4. Whose luck are you measuring? on Browser Choice May Affect Your Job Prospects · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Whose luck are you measuring? How do you know you are not throwing away your best candidate(s) because you are unlucky?

  5. Re:Evolution on Iceman Had Bad Teeth · · Score: 1

    In fact having "bad teeth" may increase your chance of passing on your DNA because you do not waste time kissing.

  6. That's not Florida silly! on North Korean Missile Raised To Firing Position, Says US Official · · Score: 1

    That's not Florida silly! That is XANTH

  7. Look at a map! on North Korean Missile Raised To Firing Position, Says US Official · · Score: 1

    Look at a map!
    South Korea would make a lovely island with an amazing view of the new seafront. It would even glow at night. Very romantic.

  8. Have you ever encountered something truly CREEPY? on Tiny Tentacled Microorganisms Named After Cthulu · · Score: 1

    Yes. Norman Bate's mother is super HOT!

    Now that is just plain creepy!

  9. Pizza Delivery Guy with Google Glass on Google Glass and Surveillance Culture · · Score: 1

    What about the Pizza Delivery Guy with Google Glass who only uses it for heads up navigation? Required to wear it.
    He has to stand outside while you pay him?

  10. Okay unless they deliver... on Brown vs. Startup Over a Sandwich · · Score: 1

    Okay unless they deliver the Spicy With!

  11. diverse tasks on The Twighlight of Small In-House Data Centers · · Score: 1

    There is the old saying that if you have to change an end user's mouse you are not a system administrator. Doesn't matter how many servers you actually admin. If you deal with end users you are help desk and/or a technician and can only be expected to be paid at that level.

    People seem more willing to pay for depth of knowledge but not willing to pay for breadth of knowledge. So they end up with "experts" who say, "That is NOT my job". I am a professional. I get paid to get the job done. I do not care if it is Windows, Linux, hardware or software. Oh, and yes I do consider myself a Systems Administrator, even if I hand an end user a mouse now and then when the dedicated techs/help desk are busy.

  12. Don't you need a spacecraft.... on Air Force Looking To Beef Up Spacecraft Network Security · · Score: 1

    Don't you need a spacecraft....before you can even consider how to secure its communications?

  13. Does it matter? on Study Finds Universe Is 100 Million Years Older Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    Does it matter... she still got "big banged" didn't she?

  14. definition of a terrorist on CIA To Hand Over Drone Program To Pentagon? · · Score: 1

    You are a terrorist if you do not have a plane to drop your bombs.

    Having bomb/rockets on planes without pilots like the drones is pushing the line back to terrorist level, ie flying reusable bomb.

  15. Re:What they mean. on CIA To Hand Over Drone Program To Pentagon? · · Score: 1

    Really it isn't like they are the NS.. um I mean No Such Agency... nope don't exist..... please point that in another direction.

  16. After a reboot ...original state on Botnet Uses Default Passwords To Conduct "Internet Census 2012" · · Score: 1

    "After a reboot the device was back in its original state including weak or no password with none of our binaries or data stored on the device anymore."

    How do you calculate damages for lost uptime?

  17. Same is true in South Carolina on FAA Grants Arlington Texas Police Department Permission To Fly UAVs · · Score: 1

    Same is true in South Carolina, only you are less valuable than the many pigs and other livestock raised in the state.

  18. Let the new developer lead the training. on Ask Slashdot: How To (or How NOT To) Train Your Job Replacement? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you actually are willing to take on the job, then I would suggest you let the new developer lead the training. See if the new person is self motivated and willing to learn. Guide the conversation where it needs to go, but make the new developer do the homework and show they got the prerequisites.

  19. Right to "Bear Arms" on Supreme Court Upholds First Sale Doctrine · · Score: 1

    Us Americans have the innate right to "bear arms". While some favor polar bear arms, I am sticking with my choice of "grizzly arms" and will get them as soon as they are available for implantation.

  20. Re:I should really patent this idea, but.... on How To Bet Money On Your Future Success · · Score: 1

    That is why we are nearing the end of another boom/bust cycle with consumer credit debt. Lenders are finding out that they can no longer trust borrowers to actually repay their debt. Too many people are willing to take the hit to their credit/reputation and just walk away.

  21. Credit Card Industry Term - Deadbeat on How To Bet Money On Your Future Success · · Score: 1

    Credit card companies are looking for people with okay credit with okay reasoning skills and okay income who will pay the minimum payment.

    They don't want deadbeats who pay their balance in full each month.

  22. I should really patent this idea, but.... on How To Bet Money On Your Future Success · · Score: 2

    I should really patent this idea, but what the hell.

    Make sure you incorporate so that these are considered "student loans". Otherwise their next stop may be to a bankruptcy lawyer's office.

  23. Not in the pharmacy dept. on Walgreens To Build First Self-Powered Retail Store · · Score: 1

    They never have enough employees working in the pharmacy. Any tears from them are long dried up after telling people their prescriptions are not really ready despite what the automated system told them.

  24. Homosexuality used to be in the DSM on New Pope Selected · · Score: 1

    Homosexuality used to be in the DSM as a mental illness.
    They removed it in later revisions. Society has changed to the point where being immoral is no long abnormal.

  25. Bow to the King...errr I mean Queen... on Sheryl Sandberg and Technology's Female Leaders · · Score: 1

    Bow to the King...errr I mean the Queen...

    Sounds like perfect leadership training to me. Have them swear fealty or off with their heads/careers.
