  1. I don't normally wish for patent trolls to attack on Nathan Myhrvold's $500 Cookbook Now an $80 iPhone App · · Score: 1

    but in this case, I shall make an exception!

  2. There *are* many improvements on Linux 3.13 Kernel To Bring Major Feature Improvements · · Score: 1, Troll

    Go figure. I would accuse Dice of firing the editors and replacing them with ESL wage slaves but that would probably be an improvement.

  3. Re:They pop up and notify me they are running. on Ask Slashdot: What Makes You Uninstall Apps? · · Score: 0

    I removed my facebook app, because my phone would buzz once or twice a day on random posts from 'friends' I barely know. Words With Friends kept buzzing with pointless notifications too. In short, if I can't just forget I have it and use it when i want, then I'll uninstall it.

    Have you considered leaving your phone pressed against your taint?

  4. Re:How can this work? on Why Letting Your Insurance Company Monitor How You Drive Can Be a Good Thing · · Score: 1

    Insurance companies make their money by investing the premiums they collect. Why do you think Berkshire Hathaway (aka Warren Buffett) owns GEICO?

  5. Re:How can this work? on Why Letting Your Insurance Company Monitor How You Drive Can Be a Good Thing · · Score: 1

    Some states let you put up a bond instead of carrying insurance.

    Having the insurance people and their lawyers deal with all the accident shit is worth more than any potential savings, IMO.

  6. the future of car insurance on Why Letting Your Insurance Company Monitor How You Drive Can Be a Good Thing · · Score: -1, Troll

    In 2031, President Chelsea Clinton-Obama III will abolish individual car insurance (if you like it, you can't keep it!) and make you buy comprehensive car insurance through the government web site. Filling up with gasoline now requires pre-approval from your insurance company. Most people drive a tesla since trips greater than 10 miles require a TSA escort within your car at all times.

    And they're Greek when it comes to sex, if you know what I'm saying.

    Edit: for those that don't know what I'm saying, Cisco likes to fuck you in the ass.

  8. Re:You mean Massive Increase in jobs and spending on How the NSA Is Harming America's Economy · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Look beyond hardware -- think data centers, cloud services, etc. Europeans are dropping American-based offerings for European-based ones or moving it back inhouse.

    Is it good or is it whack?

    It's a computer thing. (What is C if not a portable PDP 11 assembler?)

  12. Re:Shortsighted on Bitcoin Hits $400 Ahead of Senate Hearing On Virtual Currency · · Score: 1

    Since it sounds like a good deal, I assume you're posting from a prison via a phone that was ass-smuggled in. Right?

  13. Re:A trademark claim might not be the best on Could Slashdot (Or Other Private Entity) Sue a Spy Agency Like GCHQ Or NSA? · · Score: 2

    Right. No different than If you bought a Crown Victoria, painted it up to look like the po po, then pulled over people and molested them.

  14. Re:SSL only = no benefit on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 2

    Good call. If there's one thing republicans, democrats and independents; conservatives, liberals, and moderates can agree on it's that: sex with a complete stranger is the best.

    What if, instead of declaring war on Iran, Barack Obama and Hassan Rouhani sat down, smoked a joint, then wife swapped? Throw in Biden and Netanyahu and you've got a gang-bang and a peace accord!

    Can't you just picture them high fiving each other as they take turns busting a nut? Maybe they'd even do some double penetration. A Walk on the Wild Side wouldn't be out of the question.

    Well, that was written before the line feed shortage. Things were different back then.

  18. Re:Well, I'll tell you why I'm not interested.. on Aging Linux Kernel Community Is Looking For Younger Participants · · Score: 1

    Linu[sz] isn't an English word so we have to transcribe/Romanize it to our alphabet. Linus is more common but not more correct (they're both wrong). It's like Ubuntu/OOboontoo or Obama/Ubama.

  22. Re:Why is he special? on French Court Orders Google To Block Pictures of Ex-F1 Chief Mosley · · Score: -1, Troll

    For the record, the pictures are available here. They were infamous long before anyone knew it was this Mosley guy (he's nobody to me).

  23. Re:huh? on Tesla Model S Can Hit (At Least) 132 MPH On the Autobahn · · Score: 1

    Speedometers display a number higher than the actual speed. Kind of like when your measure your pecker in centimeters rather than inches. In fact, the Tesla autobahn package is nothing more than an adjustment to the speedometer fudge.

  24. Re:Speed is good, but what about range? on Tesla Model S Can Hit (At Least) 132 MPH On the Autobahn · · Score: 2, Informative
    1. That 20 minute number tesla likes to throw around is for a 50% re-charge.

    2. Tesla swap stations don't exist yet and when they do, they're not a swap so much as an expensive rental with lots of fine print. Remember when blockbuster (remember blockbuster?) eliminated late fees? Great... but if you didn't return it in time, they decided you bought it and charged you even more. Guess what happens if you don't return your "swapped" batteries back to the same swap station within their specified time frame?
