  1. Re:I know why he did this... on Randall Munroe Interviewed: Answers In Comic Form (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, put them on and start the opening credit sequence.

  2. Re: Comcast motto on Comcast Xfinity Wi-Fi Discloses Customer Names and Addresses (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, you see how you're posting as anonymous coward? With this list, people would still know who you are.

    That's why it's evil.

  3. Re:Children or not on Chicago Sends More Than 100,000 "Bogus" Camera-Based Speeding Tickets · · Score: 1

    Can't you still contest the ticket in a court of law? That is where you face your accuser.

  4. Re:Weasel Words on Carnegie Mellon Denies FBI Paid For Tor-Breaking Research (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Why in the world would anyone use Roman Numerals in this day and age? Do you know what year this is? It's MMXV for God's sake!

  5. Re:Weasel Words on Carnegie Mellon Denies FBI Paid For Tor-Breaking Research (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    I think it means one dollar's worth of m&m's....

  6. Re:Call me stupid but... on Anonymous Takes Down Thousands of ISIS-Related Twitter Accounts In a Day (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    You say that like there is an infinite number of moderators at twitter that are reading every single feed. There isn't, and they're not.

  7. Re:Mr Snowden is CORRECT!!! on Snowden Says It's Your Duty To Use an Ad Blocker (for Security) · · Score: 1

    There was just a huge terrorist attack in Paris, and now the EU is considering passing a bill to outlaw encryption that can't be decrypted by the state. This is a huge opportunity for Snowden to say something about privacy, and instead he comments about "PUNCHING THE MONKEY"?!?!?!

    Way to stay relevant, Ed!

  8. Re:if they really want revenge on Anonymous Vows Revenge For ISIS Paris Attacks · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Fighting ISIS by joining the military is a lot like fighting Morpheus in the matrix. i.e., "Do you think that how fast you move has anything to do with muscles in this place? Do you think that's air you're breathing?"

    If you join the military, all you will be doing is bombing (maybe) combatants in Syria. The people who perpetrated the attack in Paris obviously were not in Syria.

    Anonymous has the ability to sniff out and actually PREVENT further attacks.

    Of course, they also have the ability to SWAT Counter-strike playing college kids who are no threat.

  9. Re:Worthy of pick-up by CBS on Star Trek: Renegades Working On Episodes 2 and 3 (kickstarter.com) · · Score: 1

    The thing that I noticed was the uniforms didn't seem to fit the actors properly. It's like they made one-size-fits-all uniforms for everyone. Hell, even DS9 had a tailor!

  10. Re:Took longer than expected on Microsoft Rolls Out Major Fall Update To Windows 10 (windows10update.com) · · Score: 1

    That's funny that you say it took longer than you expected. When I was upgrading an old laptop to windows 10, it displays friendly messages like "We're setting up your system", "This won't take long". Then after that, it displayed "Ok, this is taking longer than we expected". That cracked me up!

  11. Re:Barcode scanner = keyboard on BadBarcode Attack Forces Host System To Carry Out Commands (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    One word: CueCat.

  12. This is GREAT! I can just imagine some drunk fool getting in a Google self-driving car to get home from the bar, and the car getting pulled over by the cops. The drunk idiot could mouth off to the police all he wanted, but since he wasn't driving, no ticket!

  13. Re:Not in my bathroom on Bluetooth 2016 Roadmap Brings Fourfold Range Increase and Mesh Networking (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I hate to laugh at potty humor, but that statement was kinda funny...

  14. Re: ...and I predict on TV Networks Cutting Back On Commercials (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, then aren't they stupid for *BROADCASTING IT*!!!

  15. Re:What exactly are you backing up? on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Back-Up Tool For Business? · · Score: 1

    Learn about "Offline Files". It will alleviate the problem you describe.

  16. What kind of bugs? on "Fallout 4" Release Raises Questions About Reviews of Buggy Games (kotaku.com) · · Score: 1

    The 1-star reviews on metacritic all seem to lament the boring plot and empty world, hollow characters, crummy voice acting, etc. Some say "buggy", but they don't mention what kind of bugs. You mention disappearing items... What items? Inventory items? Items in the world? Plot critical items?

    One of the funniest bugs I remember in TES4: Oblivion is when you killed a guy in a house, and came back to that house later in the game, the dead body was bouncing and flailing all over the room. Sometimes, the banging would make quite a racket. It was funny, but it didn't really stop you from playing the game.

  17. System Shock 2? on How One Company Is Bringing Old Video Games Back From the Dead (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's really System Shock (1) that needs the remake. Even with the mouselook patch, the controls are archaic and clumsy. It doesn't live up to the standards that modern FPS games strive to.

    In fact, I can sum up all of those old first person shooters of 15+ years ago in three simple words:

    "My Fingers Hurt."

  18. Re:Skylon = SkyNet + Cylon? on British Spaceplane Skylon Could Revolutionize Space Travel (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    "Skylons" were the name given to twinkling lights in the sky by Holly Marshall in the original "Land of the Lost" series. They were so named because they looked like pylons in the sky.

  19. $1 Open Source on $1 Bid Wins Government Open Source Software Purchasing Experiment (gsa.gov) · · Score: 2

    Many of us know the term FOSS (Free Open Source Software). Even at $1, the government is still overpaying for open-source software.

  20. Re:No on Should Programmers Be Called Engineers? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    I think "Software Politician" is smack-on.

  21. Re:hence the old joke... on When Slide Rules Were Like Cellphones (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I know it's a joke, but I actually read the article and used the online web simulator to work though the example problem that the article suggested. It was a very simple problem... What is 2 times 3. Obviously, any grade schooler can tell you the answer is 6, but using the slide rule as accurately as possible, I came up with 5.5. If that's an example of the accuracy of a slide rule, then good riddance!

  22. Re:Context... on Saying "Wasted" On Facebook Can Affect Your Credit Score (ajc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's ok. It's facebook. Most of the idiots there would probably write "I got so waisted last night" anyway.

  23. Re:Change the interface! on The Return of OS/2 Warp Set For 2016 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 0

    And the most important UI flaw.... It wasn't obvious how to SHUT DOWN THE OS. There was no start button like Windows 95. You had to RIGHT-CLICK on the desktop, and there was a shutdown option there.

    The only thing worse than an operating system that won't run is one that won't stop.
