  1. I give you +5 for "The Secret of NIMH" reference.

  2. Re:Can't turn, can't climb, can't run on The New F-35 Is So Stealthy, It's Harder To Train Pilots (airforcetimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The thing is still optically VISIBLE, right?

  3. Over the last year Ahmed's read everything that appeared online about him, but never responds because he doesn't want to give in to anger.

    Welcome to the internet. It's full of stuff that is intended to make you angry. Most kids don't learn this until they're much older.

  4. It's spelled "Mormon".

  5. Yeah, read the NEXT sentence.

  6. When referring to the US State, it's just "Oregon", not "The Oregon".

    So don't buy shit from shady vendors. Problem solved!

  8. Re:How do I change a user's password on All Windows 10 Kernel Mode Drivers Must Be Digitally Signed By Microsoft (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    Protip: Windows 10 is just like Windows 7. It has pretty much all the same features, and it has all the same dialogs... They are just hidden/superseded by the new Windows 10 interface, which was made to work on a touch-screen device like a tablet.

    What I mean is: In Windows 7, you would make a lot of system changes in the Control Panel. Windows 10 would rather you use the "Settings" program to make the changes, but the control panel still exists, and it still works the way that you are used to. Same is true for Computer Management, Network Connections, and several other components. In fact, it's so similar, I don't understand how Microsoft can get away with saying that it's a new OS.

    Spoken like a true CEO.

  10. Re:Could it be that ... on Uber Doesn't Decrease Drunk Driving, Finds New Study (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Or...

    When an Uber Driver sees an indication that you want to be picked up near a bar, he has a few shots before he shows up. That would explain why Uber doesn't decrease drunk driving....

  11. Current paper voting is barely anonymous. When you walk into a polling place, the first thing that is done is that you are asked for your ID (at least in my State). At that point, you're no longer anonymous. They then try to re-implement anonymity by not firmly associating your ballot with your identity, but let's be honest, if someone wanted to find out which ballot was yours, they could.

  12. Re:The last thing anyone wants is their day in cou on UK Judge Calls For An Online Court Without Lawyers To Cut Costs · · Score: 1

    Once the constituents figure out that they will be without lawyers, then maybe they will SETTLE their cases out of court like big boys, instead of running to mommy.

    Jeezus! You're still accessing slashdot via MODEM?!?!

  14. Re:Rules for thee, not for me on Getty Sued For $1 Billion For Selling Publicly Donated Photos (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    Getty's defense: "Uh, it was a clerical error."

  15. Give Jack your credit card number and ATM PIN to get a customized message from your bank about how you don't have any money anymore.

  16. Re:That's 129.2F if you're interested. on 54C Recorded In Kuwait Likely Hottest On Record In Asia (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I have heard that joke since Hudson said it in "Aliens" in 1986, but I never understood why it was funny, or why Apone got so bent out of shape when Hudson said it.

  17. I haven't really noticed any cots in the resolution of glasses-less 3D displays. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.... Or maybe I'm not watching movies in an army tent.

  18. Star Trek BEER?!?! on Star Trek's 50th Anniversary Celebrated at Comic-Con (deadline.com) · · Score: 1

    WTF? Who are the marketing geniuses behind this? "Drink Star Trek Beer, just like the kind you DON'T see on the show."

    The whole point of Star Trek is to determine how humanity can be the best it can be, and instead, the Federation of Beer (Canada, go figure), wants to sell beer to Star Trek fans. "Ha! Take that you know-it-all nit-picking trekkies! Have a beer and kill those brain cells. Star Wars Rulez, eh!

  19. Sure, Apple needs to innovate new features, but the alternative isn't worth the inconvenience.

    I would be willing to sacrifice the standard headphone jack if the new phone would somehow manage to beam the audio directly into my brain (not just my ear canal - That could be tapped by unwanted listeners). It should also not require surgery. Now *THAT'S* Innovation!

  20. The Apple II computer even had a 3.5mm audio out jack and Audio In jack. They should preserve the functionality in the iPhone so I can emulate an Apple II on it and connect it to a cassette player to load basic programs from tape.

  21. Thanks Nvidia on NVIDIA Drops Surprise Unveiling of Pascal-Based GeForce GTX Titan X (hothardware.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I had to dig two layers into the story to find out that this has nothing to do with the PASCAL programming language. Pascal is the name of their GPU architecture. Thanks Nvidia, for using a name that is already well established in the tech community.

    Man builds 1.5 Million Dollar Star Trek Bridge home theater.

    "It's a great place to watch Game of Thrones."

    AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

  23. It's even worse than you think. It's not "him was", it's "him were". UGH!

  24. Re:Question about the logs on Tesla's Autopilot Mode Reportedly Saves Pedestrian's Life (electrek.co) · · Score: 1

    I don't know why people are freaking out about this. It's not like the car is KITT, and it watches me go into a strip club. It probably just has GPS coordinates. If I drive to a mall and park my car, Tesla isn't going to know which store I went into. It's just going to have the coordinates of the parking lot.

    I thought that looked wrong, but googling for grammar help didn't provide any useful help.
