  1. The "A" stands for American on It's Ham Vs.Ham As Radio Amateurs Are In Conflict At ARRL (perens.com) · · Score: 1

    The "A" stands for American. So of course it works that way now.

    And I still can't type correctly.

  2. The "A" stands for America on It's Ham Vs.Ham As Radio Amateurs Are In Conflict At ARRL (perens.com) · · Score: 1

    The "A" stands for America. So of source it works that way now.

  3. Not at my company, and certainly not at any other publicly-traded company.
    Maybe at some privately-held company until it gets bought out.

  4. They are out of ideas. on Apple, Google and Microsoft Are Hoarding $464 Billion In Cash (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    They are out of ideas. They can't think of a single thing to do with the money that's better than sitting on it.

    I guess if they wasted it on product development there would be less left to pay out as dividends once the tax laws change to their liking. Shareholders would scream.

  5. Re:Meet the New Act on Senate Passes USA Freedom Act · · Score: 0

    Because they would team up with the other two to screw us even harder.

  6. Homeopathy Works on Homeopathy Turns Out To Be Useless For Treating Medical Conditions · · Score: 1

    Homeopathy works, but the preservatives cause autism.

  7. First Ever? on World's First Lagoon Power Plants Unveiled In UK · · Score: 2

    First ever tidal power lagoon?

    Prior art: http://boston1775.blogspot.com...

  8. Re:Boston Representing on "Mammoth Snow Storm" Underwhelms · · Score: 1

    There's pretty close to 2 feet on the ground here in the Boston suburbs and it's still snowing hard with gusty wind.
    So far it is exactly what was forecast for this area.

    But don't worry. Those poor business will continue to get plenty of handouts at the expense of public works and the common good.

  9. Share with whom? on NSA Director Says Agency Shares Most, But Not All, Bugs It Finds · · Score: 2

    He doesn't say.

    Safe to assume he meant "share with other intelligence agencies", rather than "share with you"?

  10. In a strange coincidence... on Net Neutrality Comments Surge Past 1.7M, an All-Time Record For the FCC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    1,750,435 names were added to the No-Fly List today.

    All under the suspicion of plotting to vote incorrectly.

  11. Re:Maybe you should return to Managua on Apparent Meteorite Hits Managua, Nicaragua, Leaving Crater But No Injuries · · Score: 1

    Crap. I was going to say that.

  12. Re:35mm film on Ask Slashdot: What Old Technology Can't You Give Up? · · Score: 1

    Film is nice. It doesn't have enough resolution to show up moderate lens chromatic aberrations or poor focusing.
    Digital is merciless.

  13. Gone down the tubes. on EFF: US Gov't Bid To Alter Court Record in Jewel v. NSA · · Score: 2

    Back when America was a great country no witnesses would have survived to testify.

  14. Re:Like it matters on YouTube Introduces 60fps Video Support · · Score: 1

    I take it back. I only have the 50Mbs.
    It was a nice boost over the previous 15Mbs. For everything except Youtube.

    Usually the first couple videos play well, but after that... Long pauses every few seconds.
    I look forward to the new 6fps mode.

    Sorry. No one deserves being called a FCC commissioner.

  15. Re:Like it matters on YouTube Introduces 60fps Video Support · · Score: 1

    News for nerds: FCC chairman Tom Wheeler's Slashdot handle is "dreamchaser".

    I can't think of another explanation for why Youtube isn't throttled for you.

  16. Re:Best RAD? on Ask Slashdot: Best Rapid Development Language To Learn Today? · · Score: 1

    Sad but true.

  17. Re:I informed you thusly... on F.C.C., In Net Neutrality Turnaround, Plans To Allow Fast Lane · · Score: 3, Funny

    He would have certainly been worse in some ways, but he could not have pulled off crap like this without outcry.
    That's why every president's biggest policies are stuff the other party wants but can't get away with.

    EPA? Republican.
    NAFTA? Democrat.
    Medicare prescription drug benefit? Republican.
    Romneycare? Democrat.
    Financial deregulation? Well, everybody. You got me there,

  18. Re:What do the cartridges cost? on The 3D Economy — What Happens When Everyone Prints Their Own Shoes? · · Score: 2

    Now you can print your own Inkjet cartridges at home!

  19. Re:Not the worst keyboard on Nostalgic For the ZX Spectrum? Soon You Can Play With a New One · · Score: 1

    I didn't have one of those new-fangled ZX81's, but I thought the keyboard on my ZX-80 was adequate.
    It's not like you were going to type a book on it. The programming environment was elegantly terse.

    Mine still works - as well as it ever did. It will work until there are no more TVs with the right inputs.

  20. You have reserved a lot of space for that. on Target's Data Breach Started With an HVAC Account · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    With the beta you can only see 3 or 4 whiny replies per page on a big screen.
    No way I'm scrolling through thousands of them.

    I don't think I could be arsed to read through many good ones either.

    Buh Bye

    P.S. It automatically ate my line breaks. Funny it wants to save space by removing actual message formatting.

  21. Re:Right on Facebook Estimates Around 10% of Accounts Are Fake · · Score: 2

    One about "me", and one that "Like"s crap in order to get other crap for free,

    There are probably reasons to have others but I don't think I care enough.

  22. Re:Right on Facebook Estimates Around 10% of Accounts Are Fake · · Score: 3, Funny

    Certainly 50% of mine are fake.

    And the other one is slightly exaggerated too.

  23. Re:Aren't Yahoo! there already? on David Pogue and Yahoo's "Normals" Problem · · Score: 1

    Yahoo failing to understand or provide what I need, want or like is not news.
    Their coming out and admitting who their target actually is may be.
    But it's not a surprise if you have read the comments on any of their News pages.

  24. We used to call it Cruft on Exponential Algorithm In Windows Update Slowing XP Machines · · Score: 2

    Of course Windows performance degrades over time.

    How else would they ever get anyone to upgrade? Remove the Start button?

  25. It was either that or cure cancer. on Xbox One Controller Cost Over $100 Million To Develop · · Score: 1

    Priorities.

    Imagine how much they spent on DRM.
