  1. Re:that was the only system they found on Scottish Court Awards Damages For CCTV Camera Pointed At Neighbor's House (boingboing.net) · · Score: 1

    well, how many eyes do *YOU* have?

  2. Re:Details about the straw on McDonald's Hires Project Ara Design Team To Reinvent the Drinking Straw (fastcodesign.com) · · Score: 1

    So don't use it! You can just use a normal straight (dumb) straw. The shake will still taste the same.

  3. You probably get some color that is completely unappetizing if you mix brown (chocolate) with green (mint).

  4. Re:PewPewDie will be on national TV soon on PewDiePie Calls Out the 'Old-School Media' For Spiteful Dishonesty · · Score: 1

    He already *HAS* millions. He doesn't need any more. Maybe his 15 minutes of fame are over.

  5. But FM is where you hear the latest Taylor Swift songs. This will be good for the music industry.

  6. Then the people with bluetooth only headphones will be the first to die in a natural disaster. Look, natural selection at work!

  7. Not every company has a board of directors. Public companies probably do, but not private or family owned.

  8. Break it down:

    Pew: The sound of a bullet being fired.
    Die: What happens when the bullet hits the YouTube celebrity.
    Pie: What we all eat afterwards in celebration.

  9. Re:Fool-proof insurance policy on Ransomware Insurance Is Coming (onthewire.io) · · Score: 1

    Why is that situation even a thing? I know it happens, I have seen it happen. My question is: Why are backups so finicky? I would think that if you copy a bit to another type of media, it would ACTUALLY BE THERE so it could be restored. Why do backup manufacturers allow this to happen?

  10. It's not fixed enough. Fix it more.

  11. "Hey boss, I'm really drunk. Can I drive your expensive super-car home?"

    I think we should be blaming the boss, not the car.

  12. Re:The published article on Researchers Working on Liquid Battery That Could Last For Over 10 Years (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    You would probably get more wattage from an actual Apple or Orange.

  13. Summary on Space Junk-Fighting Cable Fails To Deploy (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    So... Basically, they just added more junk.

  14. Re:Are they 18" or 18' tall? on Hundreds of Stonehenge-Like Monuments Found In The Amazon Rainforest (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Spinal Tap.

  15. Re:Money to be made... on Excessive Radiation Inside Fukushima Fries Clean-Up Robot (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Cockroach with a Geiger Counter?

  16. Re:What's so unpleasant about this imagery? on Spammer Faces Decades In Prison For Sending More Than 1 Million Spam Emails (suntimes.com) · · Score: 1

    OK, I don't like spammers any more than anyone else does, but this "mi" person is just making the news industry look bad with this type of evil bias.

    I don't ever want to hear Trump say that he hates how biased Slashdot is....

  17. Re:Whay hasn't this always been done on How UPS Trucks Saved Millions of Dollars By Eliminating Left Turns (ndtv.com) · · Score: 1

    Python didn't exist that long ago.

  18. Re:So can we use this for personal routing? on How UPS Trucks Saved Millions of Dollars By Eliminating Left Turns (ndtv.com) · · Score: 1

    Home owner's associations would be up in arms about the increased traffic through their neighborhoods!

  19. Re:I don't think you know what "eliminating" means on How UPS Trucks Saved Millions of Dollars By Eliminating Left Turns (ndtv.com) · · Score: 1

    The algorithm didn't eliminate any right turns, but it did eliminate some left turns.

  20. Re:Something is missing on How UPS Trucks Saved Millions of Dollars By Eliminating Left Turns (ndtv.com) · · Score: 1

    Not all left turns are at intersections. Not even at BUSY intersections, which is where the algorithm would be useful. If it routed you in a way where you could take a left turn at an intersection that does not have high traffic, it would save you the time waiting to turn at one that does.

  21. Re:I don't buy it on NSA Contractor Indicted Over Mammoth Theft of Classified Data (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    ...and if the NSA had any mind for security, those tapes would be encrypted, giving the contractor NO USEFUL DATA WHATSOEVER. Now whose fault is it?

  22. Abused Trust on NSA Contractor Indicted Over Mammoth Theft of Classified Data (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why is the trust that the government placed in the contractor worth more than the trust that the citizens of the U.S. have placed in the government? It works both ways, guys.

  23. That would actually be JULY, not June.

  24. Re:A bit here a bit there on Developer Explains Why All Windows Drivers Are Dated June 21, 2006 (microsoft.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Maybe they could also start using special dates for other meanings too!

    Yeah, Microsoft has done that too. In their release of MS-DOS 6.22, all the files were time-stamped 6:22am.

  25. Re:New Flash - giant hole appears in China on Samsung Factory Fire Caused By Faulty Batteries (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Do the Chinese always joke that they can dig a hole all the way to America?
