  1. attack - counterattack on Do Nations Have the Right To Kill Enemy Hackers? · · Score: 1

    If the answer to the article's question is yes, then the hackers would know that they may be targeted with lethal force. Once they know that, they may start to carry firearms themselves (without the training that actual combatants have). This would lead to chaos, as they might start shooting themselves, their cube neighbors, the shopkeeper down the street, the telemarketer on the phone...

    I say *NO*! We don't need even more wanna be ganstas shooting at just anything that freekin moves. What happens in the matrix, stays in the matrix!

  2. Re:In other news on Windfarm Sickness Spreads By Word of Mouth · · Score: 1

    Speak for yourself. I, for one, am getting SMARTER!

  3. Re:Just wait for the news media to pick this up. on Growing Consensus: The Higgs Boson Exists · · Score: 1

    ...but he's only 5000 years old!

  4. Re:Yes, except for one problem... on Is It Time To Enforce a Gamers' Bill of Rights? · · Score: 1

    Well, I didn't buy SimCity because I don't enjoy playing those type of strategy games. Now how is EA/Maxis going to differentiate my not buying it from your not buying it?

  5. Re:Less drama more substance on Defcad.com Wants To Be the Google of 3D-Printable Guns · · Score: 3, Funny

    He could be the Hank Hill of 3D printing....

    "I sell guns and gun accessories."

  6. Re:Get a life? on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Flagged Channels For XBMC PVR? · · Score: 1

    If by "Get a life" you mean "Get a wife, kids, and social obligations", then paying $100 a month for Cox cable is far cheaper.

  7. Re:Nuance has it all wrong on Do Kiosks and IVRs Threaten Human Interaction? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I don't want to speak to a human. Humans are rude and unhelpful...

    You haven't spent enough time with the ELIZA program then...

  8. Not Atlantis on Long-Lost Continent Found Under the Indian Ocean · · Score: 1

    Atlantis would be in the Atlantic Ocean. Since this was found in the Indian Ocean, it would be Indiana....

  9. Re:CAS on Gubernatorial Candidate Speaks Out Against CAS · · Score: 5, Funny

    I disagree completely! I don't think that any member of the government has any authority to dictate whether memory controllers should or should not use Column Address Select. It's a technical problem that politicians should clearly stay away from!

  10. Re:Buy local honey on Laser Intended For Mars Used To Detect "Honey Laundering" · · Score: 1

    The bees are dark roasted for that rich flavor....

  11. Re:kiloTONs of ENERGY? on Russian Meteor Largest In a Century · · Score: 2

    Lousy bomb makers are trying to rip us off. When I pay for a kiloton bomb, I expect 1024 tons....

  12. Re:Patents on Nokia Receives $1.35B Grant To Develop Graphene Tech · · Score: 1

    Sure. Apple patents cellphones with a metal case, Nokia patents phones with a graphene case.... What does that leave for anyone else? Bamboo?

  13. Re:Admissions policy on Ask Slashdot: Name Conflicts In Automatically Generated Email Addresses? · · Score: 1

    Then you would want [genome sequence][brainwave signature]@domain.tld. That should straighten things out.

  14. Even Jar Jar Binks, the galaxy's clumsiest Gungan, took out about 3 separatist tanks without even trying.

  15. Wrong message on Why a Linux User Is Using Windows 3.1 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The typical "blue screen" error message in windows 3.1 was "Unexpected Application Error". This was before the days where each application had it's own memory space, so it usually required you to exit windows, or worse, reboot.

  16. Possibility on Dreamliner: Boeing 787 Aircraft Battery "Not Faulty" · · Score: 1

    If the battery itself is not defective in its construction, then I would posit that the charging circuitry was just badly designed. If you charge the battery too quickly, It overheats, and smokes.

  17. Re:JJ on both Star Franchises??? on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 1

    Bad Droid?

  18. I'll take that challenge... on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 1

    When Spock dies in Wrath of Khan, tell me you didn't cry ... now tell me even one memorably emotional scene from anything after Generations

    When I left the theater after seeing Star Trek Nemesis, I thought "I'll never see that $11 ever again....", and a tear ran down my cheek.

  19. Apple //e story on 30 Years of the Apple Lisa and the Apple IIe · · Score: 2

    In 1980, when I first saw the Apple II, it's all I ever wanted. My mom would ask what I wanted for christmas and I would always say "An Apple II computer". Of course, it was just too expensive to get a pre-teen at that time (and we were not well-to-do). Instead of getting an Apple computer for my Birthday, one year my Mom got me 2 shares of Apple computer stock. It's not much fun for a kid to play with shares of stock. Luckily, my father bought me a //e later that year. The stock has since split a few times, and is now almost worth as much as the //e cost originally, but I got WAY more value out of the computer than I did out of the stock.

  20. imagine this scenario.... on Open Compute 'Group Hug' Board Allows Swappable CPUs In Servers · · Score: 1

    Suppose you have a machine with an Intel x86 cpu in it and you swap it out for an ARM cpu. What happens?

    The BIOS won't even boot! It's instructions are written in x86 machine language. Even if you somehow detect the new CPU architecture, and your BIOS has a copy of code that will run on it, then your OS won't boot!

    What a novel but dumb idea.

  21. Re:if you want to stop mass killings on Smart Guns To Stop Mass Killings · · Score: 1

    I think you're on to something. The weapons of choice during the signing of the bill of rights were muskets. Make all weapons muskets. That should be enough to dissuade the King of England, and yet not threaten an entire movie theater.

  22. Re:This road seems familiar. on Firefox 18 Launches With Faster IonMonkey-Enabled JavaScript, Built-In PDF Viewe · · Score: 1

    I, sir, would like to buy you a beer!

  23. Re:That's true on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Explain To a Coworker That He Writes Bad Code? · · Score: 1

    If a kid gave me a book on being a better programmer I'd read the fucking thing. Ego be damned.

    What if the kid is Justin Bieber?
