  1. 2000" TV in my living room.

    Signed,
    Frank.

  2. Re:That's the difference between software and cars on BMW Recalling One Million Vehicles in North America (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Off-topic, but the end of your comment made me think there's probably an "Ass engineer" at RealDolls.

  3. Didn't Microsoft cancel Windows 10 mobile?

  4. The only thing they can say is that they're losing the exact same amount that people are paying for those pirate TV services.

    Given the choice between $10 per month for either illegal or legal service, assuming the service was giving them the exact same content, most people would chose the legal service.

  5. Why don't you find out why they do what they do with printers before you spout off that you know better than literal rocket scientists how to do their job.

    That's my point. Not everyone at NASA is a rocket scientist. Some are regular administrators, managers, etc.

  6. Nails?! on Timber Towers Are On the Rise in France (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    Driving a nail into a slab of wood requires a lot less energy than driving one into concrete.

    Nails suck. Use screws.

  7. Slavery still exists, but it's called "9 to 5".

  8. Re: ... show how it was built... on 'Discovery of the Century': Mysterious Void Discovered In Egypt's Great Pyramid (nationalgeographic.com) · · Score: 1

    As long as we nuke it from orbit.

  9. The discovery of the century is Arduino-powered, 3D-printed bitcoin drones that upload 4K photos to the blockchain cloud.

  10. 0123456789

  11. Re:My spam for the day on Bitcoin and Blockchain Are Among the Fastest-Growing Skills Online (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    But which numbers did he use? Bitcoin mining on a CPU or GPU, or with custom ASICs?

  12. Re:This 17 years old printer... on The International Space Station Is Getting Its First Printer Upgrade in 17 Years (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    She complains too much.

  13. Re:This 17 years old printer... on The International Space Station Is Getting Its First Printer Upgrade in 17 Years (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    You probably don't want a laser printer in zero-G. Toxic fumes and the potential danger of toner floating everywhere? Not an option.

  14. Yeah, it has to be the rocket scientists who are in charge of administration aboard the ISS!

    Seriously, e-paper tablets, even if they had to make/order a custom firmware for it, would be much better. Takes less room, less energy, doesn't need to be re-supplied with paper and ink.

  15. Depends on which country you live in on Bitcoin Smashes Past $7,000 For the First Time (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    1 Bitcoin equals 9171.40 Canadian dollars
    1 Bitcoin equals 9272.12 Australian dollars

    It's also fun to see how much one Bitcoin is worth in other crypto-currencies:
    85 Monero
    135 Litecoins
    1799 Vertcoin
    6250000 Dogecoins

  16. Re:Time to move north .... on Every Other Summer Will Shatter Heat Records Within a Decade (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Change your attitude to a positive one, replace anger with passive-agressive sarcasm, replace "dammit" with "eh?" and you're nearly there.

  17. I'm sorry one of my finger was drunk when I typed my comment.

    Obviously it should have been "Borg-assimilated".

  18. Re:Fu cnn web Devs on Can Japan Burn Flammable Ice For Energy? (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    iOS 9.3? That's luxury. My iPhone 4 has been stuck on iOS 7.1.2 for years now.

  19. Re:solar and batteries noobs on Can Japan Burn Flammable Ice For Energy? (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Great, Slashdot also destroys URLs now.

  21. Re:Why shut down nuclear? on Can Japan Burn Flammable Ice For Energy? (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Batteries are only needed if you want to store energy in electric form.

    Also, not all types of batteries need rare earth minerals.

  22. Re:Thank you... on Scientists Prove Emoticons Are Not Universally Understood (qz.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Emoticons are made from regular characters, such as :p and ;)

    Emojis are unicode characters of their own, represented by a dedicated graphic for each character.

  23. Re:I don't blame the Africans, on Scientists Prove Emoticons Are Not Universally Understood (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Is there an emoticon for catgirl?

  24. Re:My favorite emoticon on Scientists Prove Emoticons Are Not Universally Understood (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not smiling pudding, you imbecile! It's smiling chocolate soft-serve ice cream!

  25. "Profit is irrelevant."

    Sounds like something a Bord-assimilated Ferengi would say.
