  1. Perfect for Children's Toys on RunCore Introduces Self-Destructable SSD · · Score: 2

    Perfect for Children's Toys
    Make sure you connect the second "let the magic smoke out" method to a big red button with label that say, "DO NOT PUSH!"

  2. Atomics on Kodak Basement Lab Housed Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    Atomics are for blowing holes in the shield wall to let big worms ride down with loads of Fremen warriors.

    Or maybe Picard just uses them to heat his Earl Grey.

  3. Wiped windows and installed linux on Ubuntu Will Soon Ship On 5% of New PCs · · Score: 1

    I have done several hundred windows wipes and installed Linux.

    But those were just some of my personal machines.

  4. Russia Responsible on Russia Threatens Pre-emptive, Destructive Force On US Missile Defense · · Score: 1

    Russia can be responsible for Iran/NK. If they attack, it can retaliate, or face retaliation from the target and its allies, mainly US.

  5. The opposite of Faith is Doubt on Last Bastion For Climate Dissenters Crumbling · · Score: 1

    I doubt either side in this is entirely correct. That makes me atmospherically agnostic.

    I will don my flame retardant suit and get ready to defend assaults from both sides like Germany in WW2.

  6. I know its username! on Organism Closest To Original "Tree of Life" Discovered · · Score: 1
  7. Nice! A variation of the "Air Crushes Can" on Apple Under Fire For Backing Off IPv6 Support · · Score: 1

    Nice! A variation of the "Air Crushes Can"

  8. Parent Correct on Steve Jobs' Idea For an Ad-Supported OS · · Score: 1

    The parent was correct. They just didn't mention they did all of the above while riding a skateboard.

  9. Don't be insensitive on Schmidt Testifies Android Did Not Use Sun's IP · · Score: 1

    Don't be insensitive. Jobs probably met some "handicapped" lawyers who yelled at him for parking in "their spots".

  10. Waiting for Tonight on Australia's Largest Police Force Accused of Widespread Piracy · · Score: 1

    Waiting for Tonight... Oh OoOoH!

    Get her opinion of "hot grits" please!

  11. As a computer science graduate on University of Florida Eliminates Computer Science Department · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As a computer science graduate I often ask why I did not have the choice to get a degree in systems administration.

  12. Don't be silly on Posting Photos of Olympics Could Land You In Court · · Score: 1

    They can check the time on their own watch, for the moment. They just can't use "Big Ben"© to check the time.

  13. Clarification on Posting Photos of Olympics Could Land You In Court · · Score: 1

    "freakish exceptions in a population of 7 billion"

    Was this in reference to viewers under 30, or the athletes?

  14. Art of Assembly on Ask Slashdot: Best Book For 11-Year-Old Who Wants To Teach Himself To Program? · · Score: 1
  15. While you would be big in Japan... on Egg-laying, Not Environment, May Explain the Size and Downfall of Dinosaurs · · Score: 1

    While you would be big in Japan at 180, I would be "Huge" in Japan at 275! Like Godzilla.

    And just like these dinosaurs, that simple fact alone makes me better than you. I blame your "low" weight on your name, dietdew7.

  16. Choose "Best" Answer on Florida Thinks Their Students Are Too Stupid To Know the Right Answers · · Score: 1

    I often did well on tests with a multiple choice format that say, "Choose the Best Answer".
    It does make the test more of a psychological analysis of the instructor rather than knowledge of the subject matter.

  17. Great Smell at only Twice the Cost on MacBook Pro Fragrance Created · · Score: 1

    Great Smell at only Twice the Cost of similar fragrance. Captures the smell and the Apple/MAC experience perfectly!

  18. Stick to the facts on Lack of Vaccination Sends Babies In Oregon To the Hospital · · Score: 1

    Stick to the facts! No need to bring wild fantasy into this.

  19. Old Mac Computer on Police Forensics Team Salvage Blind Authors' Inkless Novel Pages · · Score: 1

    On an old Mac computer, the home keys were not marked on 'F' and 'J', but on some other keys. I typed several paragraphs of a report for class before my team members asked me what I was doing. They said, "You usually seem to know what you are doing so we let you go for a while, but that doesn't make any sense."

    The output looked very much like what the parent is showing.

  20. Re:lower slashdot ID on Reddit Subpoenaed In Wrongful Death Lawsuit · · Score: 0

    Really? Slashdot ID envy?

    Mine is "lower than average" but not that great. Did Taco keep his by chance?

  21. Engine rooms make it worthwhile on How Las Vegas Missed Out on a Life-Sized Starship Enterprise · · Score: 1

    I would say Firefly would be the most depressing universe, but the "engine rooms" would make it all worthwhile!

  22. Whoosh! Canadian Turbine Torture on Canadians Protest Wind Turbines · · Score: 0

    Whoosh! Whosh! Whoooosh! Whosh!
    Whaaash! Whaaash! Whaash! Whaaaash!
    Wheeesh! Wheeesh! Wheesh! Wheeesh!

  23. interesting proof-of-concept on Generating Alcohol Fuels From Electrical Current and CO2 · · Score: 1

    My first thought a "Dune suit" to wear clubbing that turns your breath back into drinkable alcohol?

    Dude, have a taste of this stuff I got in my catch pocket!

  24. Can't we just split the difference already!?!?? on Canada To Stop Making Pennies · · Score: 1

    Can't we just split the difference already!?!??

    Lets just move the time forward or back, I don't care, half an hour and leave it there!!!!!

  25. US Seniors use Pennies to buy Canadian Drugs! on Canada To Stop Making Pennies · · Score: 1

    I bet US Seniors use Pennies to buy Canadian Drugs!
