    The only question is how many shots before it explodes.

  2. If they drop the one child policy... on Chinese Hackers Infiltrate US Army Database, Compromise Safety of Dams · · Score: 1

    ... they're gonna need some lebensraum. Long term could be 4 generations. Look how far China has come in the last 4.

  3. Re:don't want to see ads I pay for at all on Windows Store In-App Ad Revenue Plummets · · Score: 2

    " iPhone customers tend to be very enthusiastic and are willing to spend 99 cents on something that does nothing, and are proud to show off that they have dowloaded 100 apps."

    I sell crappy little apps that do nothing. I wish you were right.

  4. Re:Distraction. on Siri's Creator Challenges Texting-While-Driving Study · · Score: 1

    I tried this once with a local bus system. Two hours to anywhere in town... two hours back. Ok if you're a hobo, but kind of rough on working folk.

  5. Re:Helps but not a complete solution. on Some Windows XP Users Can't Afford To Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Computers just aren't as fast without the turbo button.

    Looking at it makes my face hurt.

  11. It's not the money on IRS Spent $60,000 Producing Star Trek Parody · · Score: 2

    It's that they created something so horrific, and unleashed it on the internet.

  12. Re:I love working with PV cells on Bosch Finds Solar Business Unprofitable, Exits · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Coal, Gas, and Oil are known to be horrible for society."

    Read that. Analyze it. Know that it's nonsensical.

    This is the kind of thing people point to when they want to discredit environmentalism.

  13. Put your big monitor on a phone book on Ask Slashdot: Monitor Setup For Programmers · · Score: 1

    ... or other large chunk of dead tree, then put your laptop in front of it.

    The pirate bay wants to make them follow the rules, when the TPB exists only because of the rules they don't follow?

    It's hypocrisy. You can't see it because TPB is on "your" side.

  18. Hypocrisy on TPB Files Police Complaint Against CPIAC for Copying Website · · Score: -1, Troll

    ... now from both sides.

  23. Re:I sure the EULA will tell me I cant do anything on Apple Angers Mac Users With Silent Shutdown of Java 7 · · Score: 1

    How was I supposed to know to search for 'disable XProtect' when the Java download link failed? I was cursing Oracle.

    ... I had a cloud server get funky on me and the java console for it ran in java. I had used it before, but suddenly...nothing.
