  1. How big are the grills in Australia? on Aussies Could Use Elephants To Fight Invasive Species · · Score: 1

    Throw another elephant on the barbie mate!

  2. South Koreans and Star Craft Robots on Pentagon Drafts Kids To Build Drones and Robots · · Score: 1

    If we would build some "Star Craft" style robots, I am sure the South Koreans could defend themselves. Or maybe they could even take over the world!?!

    OK, never mind.

  3. Bing Birds Eye Maps on Amateur UAV Pilot Exposes Texas River of Blood · · Score: 1

    For a better view, search Columbia Packing Company using Bing Maps in "Bird's Eye View". It shows the creek in better detail than Google, but no visible blood.

  4. Nothing to do in a 3rd World Country? on Professor Resigns From Stanford To Launch Online Education Project · · Score: 1

    "If you're in a 3rd world country with nothing to do all day"

    Maybe they are interested in eating at least one meal each day. That may require more work than opening a refrigerator or going down to the corner market.

  5. I do not trust Anonymous proxies. on Ask Slashdot: Choosing Anonymous Proxies? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I do not trust Anonymous proxies. So I always host my own "anonymous" proxies myself. That is what I call secure!

  6. That's where my socks have been going... on 'Electric Earth' Could Explain Planet's Rotation · · Score: 1

    That's where my socks have been going! They are being sucked right out of my dryer into the Earth's mantle!

  7. This is Slashdot on The Coda Electric Car at the Detroit International Auto Show (Video) · · Score: 1

    "it has a fully-usable back seat"

    This is Slashdot. They probably think the back seat is for passengers!

  8. Do the Wooly Shuffle on Mutant Flu Researchers Declare a Time Out · · Score: 1

    Hey Ugh, Hey Ugh!
    Nyup Nyup, I mean Ugh Ugh Ugh!

  9. So that is where Angry Birds came from! on Pentagon To Crowdsource Weapons Software Testing · · Score: 1

    So that is where Angry Birds came from!

  10. I always wanted... on Printing a Home: The Case For Contour Crafting · · Score: 1

    I always wanted to mow my roof!

  11. Why you should keep some fiber cablein your pocket on Google Fiber Work Hung Up In Kansas City · · Score: 1

    You should keep some fiber cable in your pocket just in case you get lost. Once you realize you are lost, just bury it in the ground. When the guy with the backhoe comes to cut it, ask for directions.

  12. Exploitable Advantage on NFL: National Football Luddites? · · Score: 1

    Professional athletes have an exploitable advantage in life. They are more physically fit and graceful than the average person. They use this to play a game and are compensated much higher than the average person.

    I do not have this advantage. I do however have the ability to break down and solve complex technical problems. I exploit this to my advantage. I make more than the average person as well. I do not make as much as a professional athlete yet I enjoy what I do.

    You can call it fair or unfair, but in the end we all take advantage of the talents and skills that we possess naturally and/or develop through practice.

  13. My S3 ViRGE rocked Dungeon Keepr on ITC Rules Apple Does Not Infringe S3 Graphics Patents · · Score: 1

    I remember one of my tech friends being envious of my 4 MB goodness and my "3d" walls in Dungeon Keeper.

    Ah the good ole days!

  14. Re:Anti-Trust on MS To Build Antivirus Into Win8: Boon Or Monopoly? · · Score: 1

    Those are for the Windows clients using the real servers!

    Best tool for the job, stop being a zealot!

  15. Re:Not first strike! on US Army Completes First Test Flight of Mach 6 Weapon · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    How surprised will an enemy be to be counter attacked if they strike first? Anyone ask Japan if they were surprised after Pearl Harbor?

  16. Rebooting Servers on Spock Gives Up the Con · · Score: 1

    It was rebooting servers that let the raptors out. Think of the "uptime" lost!

  17. Just a Reminder about Rights on Theater Professor's Firefly Poster Declared Threatening · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You have as many rights in these United States of America as you can afford to hire lawyers to defend.

  18. Re:One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison on Oracle Removes Java Signatures, Breaking Webstart · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Yes, what did the "Rich Asshole" call Larry Ellison?

    Come one, don't leave us hanging!

  19. Windows OS - Windows Driver on Intel Shows RealVNC Embedded In the BIOS · · Score: 1

    VNC subsystem -> VNC Driver
    Multiple systems can share a physically functional NIC. A bad driver in the OS layer does not stop the NIC in a different environment from using it.

  20. No New Egg Warranty on AMD Breaks Overclocking Record With Bulldozer · · Score: 2

    I bet these liquid-helium cooling kits do not come with a warranty from New Egg!

  21. Short Circuit Evaluation on Google To Introduce New Programming Language — Dart · · Score: 1

    All HR sees, or keyword filters is: 10 Years experience with Java

  22. So who will write ExpressoScript? on Book Review: CoffeeScript: Accelerated JavaScript Development · · Score: 1

    And then who will write ExpressoScriptDoubleShot?

  23. Titanic Spoiler on Do Spoilers Ruin a Good Story? No, Say Researchers · · Score: 1

    Just so you know, the boat sinks.

  24. Supply Depots In Front on Orange Goo Invades Alaskan Village · · Score: 1

    Supply Depots in front of bunkers. Upgraded range Marines x 4 later drop in a ghost or two for ultra range.
    Backup with a few turrets and seige tanks for the win.

  25. Just like Creative on Start-Up Claims Immortality For Data With 'Stone-Like' Disc · · Score: 1

    I miss my old Creative CD Burner! Fast as hell, but sounded like a defective jet engine. And most everyone that I knew about died shortly after its warranty expired.
