  1. Cellphone leashes and now this... on Black Boxes In Cars Raise Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    ... I'm so glad I got to be a kid in the 80's. Not all of us survived, but we had some epic car rides.

    If your software is wonky and un-polished, people that have to use it every day don't care if it's free. They will happily pay for something that works right so they can do their jobs.

    ...34 bucks?

  10. Re:Serves them right on Project Orca: How an IT Disaster Destroyed Republicans' Get-Out-The-Vote Effort · · Score: 1

    Typical zealot, justifying usurpation of freedom by demanding absolute safety for all people at all times....especially The Children!

    People smoke pot now. They will continue to smoke pot regardless of what the law says. Therefore nothing can provide you with the perfect safety you demand. Better hide under the bed.

    ...for the party that's the choice of morons.

  12. Huzzah! on GM Brings IT Dev Back In House; Self-Driving Caddy In the Works · · Score: -1, Flamebait

  17. Re:78% of slashdot summary contain glaring errors on Windows Phone 8 Having Trouble Attracting Developers · · Score: 2

    The other 22% have actually made android apps, and don't want to any more because of device fragmentation and poor sales.

  18. Re:Well, Yeah on Windows Phone 8 Having Trouble Attracting Developers · · Score: 1

    Pretty much. The only way I'd make WP8 apps is if MS paid me up front to do so.

  19. Re:Pneumatic Tubes! on Ask Slashdot: Ideas For a Geek Remodel? · · Score: 2

    These tubes also make great carnival rides for smaller pets.

    A hipster is anybody that I think might be cooler than me, but won't beat me up if I bag on them.

  21. Re:The obvious answer on Rare Photos: Gnu Crashing a Windows 8 Launch Event · · Score: 2

    True. After a couple of years of fighting with endless niggling problems, you'll switch again, to OSX.

  22. Re:It was funny in 1995 on Rare Photos: Gnu Crashing a Windows 8 Launch Event · · Score: 1

    Marginal = Cool to hipsters, and the folks in that photo are most definitely hipsters. They doubtless went home and congratulated each other on their hipness.

  23. Start smoking pot. on Ask Slashdot: Rectifying Nerd Arrogance? · · Score: 1

    It's hard to be arrogant when you have the giggles.

  24. Re:Try.. on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Protect My Android Devices From Hackers? · · Score: 1
