  1. Re: Pronounced like the peanut butter most moms lo on What's The Correct Way to Pronounce 'GIF'? (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    Excellent point. We pronounce it Jay-Peg. Though if weâ(TM)re truly following the same logic, shouldnâ(TM)t we be pronouncing it Jehpegg?

  2. TempleOS use? on Creator of TempleOS, Terry Davis, Has Passed Away (osnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Iâ(TM)m not anywhere near my laptop so I canâ(TM)t load it into a VM, so for now I just want to ask if any of you have tried loading it up and what your experience was? I see itâ(TM)s only 16MB, so Iâ(TM)m guessing it wasnâ(TM)t all that far along or perhaps talking to god can be done efficiently. Anybody?

  3. Finally! on Google Wants To Kill the URL (wired.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's about time we revert back to the future with the AOL keywords we all have been sorely missing from our lives!!!

  4. Re:A $5000 laptop? Typo? on On The Sad State of Macintosh Hardware (rogueamoeba.com) · · Score: 1

    The iMac Pro is a desktop machine. Still pretty overpriced of course.

    Plus it would make the prisoners last words sound awesome!

    I can buy bluetooth headphones, but at a 300% markup, because of Apple's bluetooth lock-in."

    ANY Bluetooth headphones will work just fine. Not being an audiophile jerk, I listen to lots of stuff on my iPhone using El Cheapo Bluetooth headsets all the time. A fine trolling though, congrats.

  7. Re: Yes, but it's a Dyson on Dyson Airblades 'Spread Germs 1,300 Times More Than Paper Towels' (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I hate the air blades. I knew they had to be germ machines. Just try to use one without touching the damn sides. Hate hate hate them!

  8. Re:Form Factor not "Format" on Google Proposes New Hard Drive Format For Data Centers (thestack.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    SSD is the heir apparent, but platter based disk storage will likely provide higher capacity at denser, more affordable prices for quite some time to come. I suspect Google is proposing this altered platter HD design as something that could bridge the gap until SSD reaches an affordability / density point that can catch up / replace conventional platter HD designs.

  9. Re:Isn't it widely accepted... on What Happened To the Martian Ocean and Magnetic Field? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 2

    But those only happen once every several hundred million years. And they take about 100 million years to complete, they're not rapid.

    Not necessarily agreeing with the previous poster, but I'm under the impression that geologically speaking 100 million years is somewhat rapid for that sort of change at least compared to Earth.

  13. Re:In fairness... on Google Reaffirms Stance Against Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Droid is open sourced, so they aren't entirely secretive either.

  14. Re:The first is still the best on Star Wars TV Show Tainted By Memories of Jar Jar · · Score: 4, Funny

    Perfectly stated!

    Or more accurately, stated in a manner that completely agrees with my stance, which of course I consider to be perfect.

  15. Re:No Problem... on Extinct Ibex Resurrected By Cloning · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well maybe not. As long as we're pouring on the Jurassic Park references, there was another line "your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

    The animal has been extinct for a short time, but none-the-less the norm in northern Spain for the last 9 years has been to not have ibex. Reintroducing cloned ibex to the area might cause other issues that hadn't been considered.

  16. Re:The solution.. on Best Filesystem For External Back-Up Drives? · · Score: 1

    I see what you did there.

    Consider this comment to be an honorary funny mod. I had points the other day, but they expired. You deserve them sir.

  17. Re:Most of them... on IBM Doubles Rewards For Ditching Sun · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Huh wha? What about that is anti-competitive or monopolistic behavior? If IBM and Sun were the only source of servers out there, then I could understand the anti-trust comment. This is a bit ruthless, but it's completely legal.

  18. Re:Nothing in the EULA on Realtek's Wireless Driver Drives Thoughts of an Apple Netbook · · Score: 1

    And even if there were something in their EULA stating that other companies are not allowed to make drivers for their OS, how would that be enforced? I mean they need other companies to provide drivers for their devices, so they can't really be that picky about what drivers they allow or not.

    You work in hell? I never expected them to have internet down there.

    Good point. I upgraded, and my Dashboard still is frozen.

    Let's all give Foxxer a big round of applause. If there's anything that's funnier than a science joke, it's somebody explaining a science joke to everybody who already got it.

    Take a bow sir!

  22. If at first you don't succeed... on Energy From Raindrops · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...this breakthrough comes after failed attempts to generate power from roses, whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.

    These are a few of those researchers favorite things.

  25. Re:Top 10 Games Non-Stories on Slashdot on Some of the Best Game Levels of All Time · · Score: 1

    Let's just go ahead and close that bitching hole of yours. Just about any top ten list is going to be somewhat arbitrary or reflective of the writer's bias. The point to posting such an "article" here is to spark discussion, which it's accomplished.
