  1. Re:Who run barter town? on Ask Slashdot: Are You Apocalypse-Useful? · · Score: 1

    Master Blaster!

    Master Blaster What?

  2. Re:Um... on Wi-Fi Problems Dog Apple-Samsung Trial · · Score: 1

    Courthouses are often large old buildings with a lot of marble pillars, marble floors, and immovable walls. This may be why they used Wifi... It's just not feasible to drill a hole through 3 feet of marble to run Cat5.

  3. Sum up... on Double Take: Condoleezza Rice As Dropbox's Newest Board Member · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's not that using Dropbox is now a bad idea because Rice is on the board.... It's that using any "Cloud Based Storage" is not a good idea. Savvy readers can probably already setup and host their own servers... Why do you want to risk your data to someone else who does it "for free"?

  4. Re:At least someone appreciates work-life balance on New French Law Prohibits After-Hours Work Emails · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What's *REALLY* American is to read work-related emails after work hours ONLY as long as you are COMPENSATED for it. Nobody said we have to work for free!

  5. +10 Informative on Interview: John McAfee Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    This is probably the most useful article I have ever read on Slashdot.

  6. Re:Because Hollywood. on 60 Minutes Dubbed Engines Noise Over Tesla Model S · · Score: 1

    Well, Stay tuned. If the editors are outsourced to China, you may start being surprised!

  7. Re:Who the fuck wrote this piece of shit? on USB Reversable Cable Images Emerge · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Not to mention.... Where is this 100W going to come from? Do you think that the PC makers build PCs with power supplies in them with that much extra capacity just in case someone plus in a USB hair dryer? Well, they don't.

  8. Re:Have People Forgotten 'Force of Nature' on Why Darmok Is a Good Star Trek: TNG Episode · · Score: 1

    How about "Sub Rosa", or worse, "Masks".

    Then there is "Aquiel".

  9. Re:Bullshit Made Up Language on Why Darmok Is a Good Star Trek: TNG Episode · · Score: 1

    Squares, the way mold grows.

    Yeah, right!

    Just because I have a tattoo of a swastika on my forehead doesn't mean I'm a Nazi....

  12. Re:why all the javascript hate? on MIT Researchers Bring JavaScript To Google Glass · · Score: 3, Informative

    Because it's responsible for all the things people hate about web pages. Pop-up ads, pop under ads, floating ads, flash ads, flash exploits, java exploits....

    A better question would be: What has javascript done that's GOOD?

  13. Re:Interesting thoughts on Facebook Buying Oculus VR For $2 Billion · · Score: 1

    What makes you think that Oculus would be bound to a "mobile OS"? Why does it need to be mobile? Do you really envision people walking down the street with one of those buckets on their head? Or trying to drive with one on?

    The market for the rift is for a stationary game console or computer system. Please don't let people move around with those things on their heads.

  14. Re:Kind of an empty gesture on Fluke Donates Multimeters To SparkFun As Goodwill Gesture · · Score: 2

    I always figured that the yellow multimeter was so that you could find it easily. People who use multimeters often use them in places that are dark, cramped, or dirty. Making the case bright yellow just keeps you from misplacing an expensive piece of portable test equipment.

  15. Re:Did Fluke request this? on $30K Worth of Multimeters Must Be Destroyed Because They're Yellow · · Score: 1

    COP: "Do you know what the speed limit here is?"

    YOU: "No."

    COP: "Here's your ticket."


    See? That excuse NEVER works.

  16. Re:Did Fluke request this? on $30K Worth of Multimeters Must Be Destroyed Because They're Yellow · · Score: 2

    Right. There is *NO WAY* a $15 multimeter is going to compete with a $100+ Fluke. It's just not in the same league, even if it is yellow.

  17. Re:Prison break? on Drones Used To Smuggle Drugs Into Prison · · Score: 1

    Sure, the prisoner will escape, but by the time the drone lands, he will be dead.

    Dear inmates,
    If the best thing that you can think of doing with a drone is getting drugs, then you're doing it wrong. Drugs won't get you out of prison. Next time, have the drone bring you a lockpick set and a couple of smoke grenades.

  18. Re:Buy a "Hello Kitty" wrist strap. on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Prepare For the Theft of My Android Phone? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Buy a .44 Magnum. That way you can prevent your phone from being stolen in the first place, and not look like a complete fool.

  20. Re:And they just had that Superbowl commercial on RadioShack To Close 1,100 Stores · · Score: 1

    A couple years ago, I remember reading a news article that Radio Shack was going to undergo a rebranding, and that the store would just be called "The Shack". A few months later, I saw temporary posters in the window of my local Radio Shack store that just said something like "We are now 'The Shack'". The employee even said that all the stores would be getting new signage. Here we are years later, and what do we have? The stores still have the big red circle R, and say Radio Shack.

    This smells like some exec saying that they need to do the rebranding, but quit halfway through because it cost too much.

  21. Re:Wasn't that Nintendo? on Merlin's Magic: The Inside Story of the First Mobile Game · · Score: 1

    I'm not really sure what the iPhone introduced that was new? Maybe virtual game distribution (software-only, no cartridges) and online sales (App Store)?

    PalmOS devices had software apps long before the iPhone. The only thing that the iPhone has going for it is that it was kissed by Steve Jobs.

  22. Re:Honestly, it seems justified. on Girl's Facebook Post Costs Her Dad $80,000 · · Score: 1

    It would seem that would give the little guy the opportunity to stick it to the scumbag company. "$80,000 to keep quiet? I don't know.... It might be kinda hard (wink, wink) for that amount. It might take $120,000...."
