  1. No. on Interviews: Ask Martin Shkreli a Question · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I won't have anything to do with that guy, and shame on Slashdot for providing a platform to him.

  2. I don't see what the problem is on Tiny, Blurry Pictures Find the Limits of Computer Image Recognition (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Just zoom and enhance.

  3. Entrepreneurs on Is It Time To Throw Out the College Application System? · · Score: 1

    I heard that Steve Jobs once sued Steve Job for stealing most of his name.

  4. Actually... on Injecting Liquid Metal Into Blood Vessels Could Help Kill Tumors · · Score: 5, Funny

    Those tumors could be terminated.

    Thanks, I'll be here all week. Try the baklava!

  5. Re:What is going on on Cassini Gets Amazing Views of Saturn's Hexagon · · Score: 1

    God's just been playing SuperHexagon since he created Saturn. He hasn't beaten it yet.

  6. Re:Karateka on Apple II DOS Source Code Released · · Score: 2

    Now all Karateka requires is a web browser.

  7. Re:Look over here, look over here! on Another Climate-Change Retraction · · Score: 1

    An Aeronautical Engineer's look at global warming (and yes he has earned his chops in that arena)

    The first essay in our new series! Look for future essays where out Aeronautical Engineer looks at:

    • Dentistry!
    • Neuroscience!
    • Cosmology!
    • The Differences Among the Lifecycles of the Various Species of Ant in the Platythyrea Genus!

    This isn't Star Trek, guy. There's no Mr. Spock with a degree in "All of Science". An aeronautical engineer is worth listening to when he's talking about aeronautical engineering. In the field of climate science, he's no more qualified than I am to conduct and evaluate the research. If he thinks otherwise, he is a crank, no matter how good he is in his own field.

  8. Re:Why another? on Epic: A Privacy-Focused Web Browser · · Score: 1

    Instead, I'd also rather suggest JAP** which is also long and well established.

    Yes, with a long-established backdoor for "crime prevention".

  9. You there! on Real Version of Homer Simpson's Dream Car Built · · Score: 2

    Fill it up with petroleum distillate, and re-vulcanize my tires, post-haste!

  10. 3D Printer Control on California Lawmaker Wants 3-D Printers To Be Regulated · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, this is being framed as a gun control issue, which is almost impossible to have a reasonable discussion about in the United States. What's actually happening here is that a lawmaker wants to regulate a revolutionary small-scale manufacturing technology. This technology is not specifically designed to make firearms, and it isn't particularly good at it. But, because it could possibly be used to produce an "undetectable" gun, you're going to see more politicians try to strangle 3D printing in the cradle.

  11. Re:This is not some sort of definitive guide on The NSA's Own Guide To Google Hacking and Other Internet Research · · Score: 1

    "Open source" means something different in intelligence circles: Open source intelligence.

  12. This problem was solved long ago on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 1

    Put the leech on the Upside-Down-Ternet.

  13. Jobs' Yacht Released on Steve Jobs' Yacht Revealed · · Score: 5, Funny

    No sails. Less space than an aircraft carrier. Lame.

  14. Multitool geek on Television Network Embeds Android Device In Magazine Ads · · Score: 2

    Writers at Mashable were willing to geek out with a Swiss Army knife and a video camera...

    Since we're geeking out, let's get our tools right. it's a Leatherman Squirt.

  15. You're just not qualified. on Ask Slashdot: Find a Job In China For Non-native Speaker? · · Score: 1

    What would you think if someone showed up at your workplace in the US, unable to speak a word of English, looking for a programming job?

    As a native English speaker, you can make decent money teaching English. Or, you can try to find a remote job. But, I think your chances of finding a local development job are slim.

  16. Re:Y'ar they be no true pirates! on Pirate Party Releases Book of Pirate Politics · · Score: 1

    pp-international.net is having trouble responding. You can get the torrent from the Pirate Bay:

    http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6981856/No_Safe_Harbor_-_A_Pirate_Party_Book

    It contains all formats.

  17. Re:Kinda interesting though on Ask Slashdot: Good Gigabit 802.11N Home Router? · · Score: 1

    I know you don't want an extra box, but a separate gigabit switch is probably your best alternative.

  18. Distribued Proofreaders on Michael Hart, Inventor of the E-book, Dead At 64 · · Score: 1

    Why not head over to Distributed Proofreaders and do a few pages in his memory: http://www.pgdp.net/

  19. Packt Publishing on Book Review: Drupal Web Services · · Score: 1

    I don't know what Michael J. Ross thinks he is accomplishing with these reviews, but I do know that I will never buy a Packt title.

  20. Re:Anonymous? on Internet Group Declares War on Scientology · · Score: 1

    Watch out... it's headed toward YOU!

  21. Re:I can tell you this works on The Khaki Bandit Strikes At IT - 130 Stolen Laptops · · Score: 1

    Why wait a hour or more if you can just walk past everyone...

    Because I try not to be an asshole to everyone around me?

  22. Re:Exactly on Snakes on The Net Fail to Put Butts in the Seats · · Score: 1

    John Kerry would be president.

    Actually, Howard Dean would be president.

  23. Re:Tool on Firefox VoIP Client · · Score: 1

    You're welcome!

  24. Yeah, see... on Firefox VoIP Client · · Score: 1

    Did you notice that "extensions" was in scare quotes? That was supposed to imply that the "extensions" were Internet Explorer malware, and by "breaking compatiblity" Microsoft was fixing the vulnerability.

    Man, I'm subtle and I didn't even know it! Don't mod me funny or you'll ruin it!

  25. Re:Almost makes you feel sorry for IE users on Firefox VoIP Client · · Score: 2, Funny

    There's a large community out there that makes "extensions" for IE as well, you've just never bothered to look.

    Sadly, Microsoft's security patches keep breaking compatibility with these "extensions".
