  1. Re:huh? on 2015 Corvette Valet Mode Recorder Illegal In Some States · · Score: 1

    Easy - whenever the recorder activates, the car's audio system tells you.

  2. Re:Another terrible article courtesy of samzenpus on Seattle Passes Laws To Keep Residents From Wasting Food · · Score: 1

    I am pointing out that samzenpus is just a prime example of how political - and conservative - this site has become.

    I assure you that the collective community is applauding your efforts to sleaze this place up. You've been around long enough to know that the old conservative vs liberal thing is a waste of electrons.

  3. Re:Oh noes, I haz been hacked! on Apple Outrages Users By Automatically Installing U2's Album On Their Devices · · Score: 1

    Let's see, $19.95/MB * 109MB. Time to thin the herd.

  4. Re:Delayed action on Climate Damage 'Irreversible' According Leaked Climate Report · · Score: 1

    Ok, please lead by example. Spend 1/8 of your disposable income on operating more environmentally friendly. Solar panels on your house, more efficient appliances, pay a landscaper to plant trees.

  5. Re:Pretty obvious on Feds: Red Light Camera Firm Paid For Chicago Official's Car, Condo · · Score: 2

    I'm not surprised. A local municipality pushed these through (which I'm not staunchly for nor against the cameras), and there was a bit of public outcry. To be fair, intersections were not configured consistently, and stops often could have been handled as yields, but anyway.

    The council proposed putting the item up for vote, Redflex thought it would appropriate to sue the city.

  6. Re:IMO Good question on Ask Slashdot: What Recliner For a Software Developer? · · Score: 1

    He specifically said MacBook, not "laptop". /s

  7. Re:Too Much Bureaucracy on The Flight of Gifted Engineers From NASA · · Score: 1

    Same here - 8 years in flight design. Cool stuff at the beginning, but then you start seeing that the contractor companies care more about keeping seats warm and not making waves than progress and innovation.

  8. Fair enough on Verizon Throttles Data To "Provide Incentive To Limit Usage" · · Score: 1

    Then provide an incentive for your low-usage users to stay that way. Maybe a bill credit.

    What?

  9. Re:Not a duty of the Executive Branch on White House Punts On Petition To Allow Tesla Direct Sales · · Score: 1

    You need to recall that this was Obama's Hope and Change idea. Can't blame for people expecting him to keep his word on ideas that he sponsored.

  10. Re:I'll get flak for this on Ask Slashdot: Communication With Locked-in Syndrome Patient? · · Score: 1

    Hopefully you enjoy it, though you could stand a bit of improvement. But hey, if you enjoy it, who am I to judge?

  11. Re:I'll get flak for this on Ask Slashdot: Communication With Locked-in Syndrome Patient? · · Score: 1

    I'd vote for getting rid of the fucksticks first.

    Dave, way to douche it up.

  13. Re:Still hasn't arrived on How Virtual Reality Became Reality · · Score: 1

    The Ouya made it to shelves. That might not be the line in the sand you're looking for. ;)

  14. Re:Except It Isn't on How Virtual Reality Became Reality · · Score: 1

    Not now, not ever.

    Well, I guess this discussion is over then. /s You're not wrong to be wary of FB, but absolutes don't advance anything here.

  15. Re:Dual SIm's Why? on Firefox OS 1.3 Arrives: Dual SIM Support, Continuous Autofocus, Graphics Boost · · Score: 4, Insightful

    company phone & personal phone?

  16. Re:Undefined on Autonomous Car Ethics: If a Crash Is Unavoidable, What Does It Hit? · · Score: 1

    You're looking for momentum. Should I hit the tree, or the tumbleweed rolling toward me?

  17. Re:Not possible on Intuit, Maker of Turbotax, Lobbies Against Simplified Tax Filings · · Score: 1

    He didn't say that.

  18. Re:Useless on First Glow-In-the-Dark Road Debuts In Netherlands · · Score: 1

    We already have 256k.

    Should be good enough for anybody.

  19. Re:Irrelevent on Michael Abrash Joins Oculus, Calls Facebook 'Final Piece of the Puzzle' · · Score: 2

    The voice of dissent has been a lot louder than the supporters.

  20. Re:Personal Audio on Adam Carolla Joins Fight Against Podcast Patent Troll · · Score: 1

    I vote for public shaming. Who are the shareholders?

  21. Re:well some with learning disabilities should sue on Mathematician Gives Tips On How To Win $1 Billion On NCAA Basketball · · Score: 1

    It's not a years of school requirement, it's an age requirement. Someone can go play in other leagues until they reach the minimum age. Turns out that D1 college basketball is the best place (talent pool, visibility, age-specific coaching).

  22. Re:well... on Mathematician Gives Tips On How To Win $1 Billion On NCAA Basketball · · Score: 1

    has helped several Davidson students score in the 96th percentile (or higher) in ESPN's bracket challenge

    How hard is it to reach the 96th percentile? Let's say you teach this course for 3 yrs with 20 students per course. I think the odds are decent that one of those students would be in the 96th (odd number to choose, don't ya think?) percentile? I'm going with crappy journalism.

    Ctrl-F slashcode - There you are. How about the irony of a slash-code based site getting the traffic from beta?

  25. Re:I don't dislike Valve on Steam Music Now Accepting Beta Signups · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I would. Instead of buying a $15 DVD, I'll pay $4 and watch it once. If it's good enough, I might watch it 2 or maybe 3 times, but odds are, I'm coming out ahead.
