  1. But does it work in Scotland? on Siri, Cortana and Google Have Nothing On SoundHound's Speech Recognition · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's the real question and a true test of voice recognition software.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  2. Re:And how much WITHOUT ESPN? on Dish Introduces $20-a-Month Streaming-TV Service · · Score: 2

    It would probably be about $10/month. ESPN is the most expensive channel to license for cable providers.

  3. Re:Any one know? on Dad Makes His Kid Play Through All Video Game History In Chronological Order · · Score: 1

    That would constitute child abuse of the first order. No one should be forced to endure what we did in the 80's. No one.

  4. Looters... on The Koch Brothers Attack On Solar Energy · · Score: 1, Interesting

    You know, for people that calm to be devotees of Ayn Rand's work, the Koch Brothers (and the Tea Party in general) clearly haven't read Atlas Shrugged.

    Using the government taxes and rules to crush your opponents (when you can't do it in the free market) was the main tactic...of the book's villains.

  5. Re:Get busy living or get busy dying. on Ask Slashdot: Good Ideas For Creative Gaming With Girlfriend? · · Score: 1

    Where are mod points when I actually need them?

    Well said.

  6. Outsourcing Concern on Nationwide Snooping System Launched In India · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So, does this mean that the Indian Government will get to see everything that's outsourced to India, including US Government contracts?

    Basically, any corrupt Indian official (which apparently, there are more than a few) with access can sell trade and/or government secrets from any outsourced company.

    Way to set the standard NSA.

  7. Re:rPi is different from RPI on LLNL/RPI Supercomputer Smashes Simulation Speed Record · · Score: 2

    No. For us old-timers, RPI stands for Rockwell Protocol Interface.

    http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Rockwell+Protocol+Interface

    POS Modems....

  8. Re:Indians in a nutshell on Site Copies Content and Uses the DMCA to Take Down the Original Articles · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's not cheating....it's "crowdsourcing."

  9. May we burn her? on Site Copies Content and Uses the DMCA to Take Down the Original Articles · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "She's a witch...I mean copyright violator!"

    Different century, same methodology.

  10. Re:I think I saw Halo? on Microsoft's Future of the Living Room Starring SuperTuxKart · · Score: 2

    As did I. Poster was a little too anxious to post, weren't they?

  11. Libraries Too on Cops To Congress: We Need Logs of Americans' Text Messages · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I like the fact that my library (and most others) destroy records of checkouts after you return a book so that the information can't be used in an investigation or trial.

    Just because I read some Karl Marx, doesn't make me a commie. Likewise, just because I texted a quote from the Koran doesn't make me a terrorist.

  12. Budget Problems Solved on What Will NASA Do With Its Gifted Spy 'Scopes? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Just point them at key members' of Congress' homes for a while. Then, when budget reviews come up, NASA simply goes to Congress with a thumb drive. "We need funding for a new Mars mission, Senator. If not, we'll have to start selling some of these picture-filled drives to the public to offset the costs. Wouldn't it be a damn shame if certain images of that high school cheerleading squad coming and going from your house at all hours of the night were to...accidentally...end up on the Internet? That would be a damn, criminal, shame...wouldn't it, Senator?"

  13. Imagine what this can do for your sex life on Google Glass Could Be the Virtual Dieting Pill of the Future · · Score: 1

    Make certain things bigger and certain things smaller. Maker her a redhead. Make him Brad Pitt.

    Self-delusion is a grand thing.

  14. Re:Controller Markup? on With $8.6M In Kickstarter Funds, Ouya Opens Console Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    Quite so. I could swear it said $129 for the plus 2 controllers, but it does indeed say $139 for 2. Either my bad or they fixed it. Ce la vie.

  15. Controller Markup? on With $8.6M In Kickstarter Funds, Ouya Opens Console Pre-Orders · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Anyone else notice the odd markup on the extra controllers? It's $20 per controller when you go from one to two controllers, but $30 per controller when going from one to four. Are they going to sell controllers separately or if you buy the 1 or 2 controller box, that's it, no adding on?

  16. Google.ir on Iran Threatens Legal Action Against Google For Not Labeling Gulf 'Persian' · · Score: 3, Funny

    My suggestion for Google,

    Searches for "Persian Gulf" on Google.ir are going to return:

    "Did you mean: 'How to violently overthrow an idiotic, oppressive regime'?"

  17. Hmmm... on China Building World's Biggest Radio Telescope · · Score: 2, Funny

    Trying to steal intellectual property from alien lifeforms. Clever, clever bastards.

  18. An Idea: on Uniforms For the Help Desk? · · Score: 1

    White sleeveless dress shirt and black tie.

    Classy and sexy all at once!

  19. The Looters & the Moochers on Rhode Island Affiliates Banned From Amazon.com Sales · · Score: 1

    RI (and NC before them) are a looter's government, demanding money they haven't earned. My parents taught me that was theft, but the states call it "taxes."

    These states are poorly managed and now want a chunk of money they didn't earn and have no right to to make up for their incompetence and stupidity. Good for Amazon. They can continue to "Shrug" as much as they want until states realize that being business-friendly means your state has money.

  20. Re:Amazon Shrugs on Amazon Cuts Off North Carolina Affiliates · · Score: 1

    Beware the looters.

    NC has no right to the money, but are going to grab it anyways. Get the businesses to come to your state, not chase them away. Has no state learned California's lesson?

  21. Grammar Nazi Warning... on Next Prince of Persia Game Promises Fresh Start · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one bothered by the phrase "the next addition?"

    I mean, they're aren't even homophones for heaven's sake!

  22. Well... on Is Copy Protection Needed or Futile? · · Score: 1

    I don't know about DRM, but the voice in my head tells me that RESISTANCE is futile.

  23. Couldn't help thinking of Starcraft... on Helium Crisis Approaching · · Score: 1

    "I think we may have a gas leak!"

  24. Re:Dollars? on Interplay Developing $75 Million Fallout MMOG · · Score: 1

    Your confusion is understandable as most slashdotters insist on putting the dollar-sign after the number.
     
    Let the healing begin.

  25. *Gasp* on Third Place Is Fine By Nintendo · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You mean giving customers what they want will help sell your product?

    I'm shocked! Shocked I say!
