  1. You are entirely wrong about it being illegal to photograph someone who's on their private property.

  2. This is old news on Consumer Reports Says Tesla Model S Is Best Overall Vehicle · · Score: 0

    This was a big deal when it was announced, almost a year ago.

  3. Re:I can't find this feature on Network Solutions Opts Customer Into $1,850 Security Service · · Score: 2

    Neither could I. Just logged into my account with them to see if there was anything about it. There was not.

  4. Re:Limited cargo use on "Slingatron" To Hurl Payloads Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    If this becomes a thing, then the standard by which all Slingatrons are measured is how much energy they take to fire a pound of bacon into the asteroid belt.

  5. Re:This guy is an idiot on 30 Days Is Too Long: Animated Rant About Windows 8 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'll just copy my reply to another similar post... So you're ignoring half the OS, and you've installed a 3rd party application to make the part you aren't ignoring actually usable?

  6. Re:Not again... on 30 Days Is Too Long: Animated Rant About Windows 8 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So you're ignoring half the OS, and you've installed a 3rd party application to make the part you aren't ignoring actually usable?

  7. To what end? on Inside the Real Economy Behind Fake Twitter Followers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Is the sole purpose of doing this to make an entity seem more popular on Twitter than they really are? Assuming so, what is the tangible benefit of doing that? Does Mitt Romney win the election if he has more (albiet fake) Twitter followers?

  8. Re:Proxy on Could You Hack Into Mars Curiosity Rover? · · Score: 4, Informative

    You mean 28 minutes.

  9. Appearance matters on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Professional Geek Dress Code? · · Score: 3, Informative

    That said, you don't have to wear a suit and tie. Black/Brown shoes, nice jeans, and a long sleeve shirt (untucked).

  10. Re:Text transcription? on Slashdot's Rob Rozeboom Interviews D&D Designer Mike Mearls (video) · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I'm not going to sit here and watch a video of two guys talking. Sorry, it's just not going to happen. Give me a transcript, and I'll read it top to bottom.

  11. Snapfish on Ask Slashdot: Best Option For Printing Digital Photos? · · Score: 1

    My wife does a ton of stuff using Snapfish. The site seems slow as hell whenever I've been on it, but it works I guess. Upload all your pics, then order one print of each if you want.

  12. Re:Honesty on Ask Slashdot: My Company Wants Me To Astroturf, Should I? · · Score: 1

    I would not share my plans with coworkers or supervisors. Keep your mouth shut about it. I'd be surprised if anyone else in the company cares about this half as much as you do.

  13. Re:Bad press... on Chevy Volt To Resume Production One Week Early Following Record Sales · · Score: 1

    The Volt's gas mileage for my wife would be about infinity. She rarely drives more than about 20 miles a day. How does that compare with your Geo Metro?

  14. Re:Hyphens on Man Digs Out Basement Using Radio Controlled Toy Tractors · · Score: 1

    I don't see how it could be misread.

  15. Re:Right.... on Retail Chains To Strike Back Against Online Vendors · · Score: 1

    Well said. The thought of Barnes & Noble closing up all their stores scares the hell out of me. I love books. Real books, not eBooks. The Borders by my house closed, which was sad, but not terrible because there's a B&N across the street from my work. If that were to close, it would be a really, really sad day.

  16. Re:Does NOT work on Picture Blocking Beer Cooler Keeps Your Face Out of Embarrassing Photos · · Score: 1

    Also, if the blocker thing is behind the camera, it won't work. Also, if the blocker thing is covered by a cardboard box, it won't work.

  17. NoScript on Intel Revenue Dives $1bn On Hard Disk Shortage · · Score: 0

    Can someone tell me which of the 45 or so domains at that link I should allow through NoScript?

  18. Too late on RIM To Offer Multiplatform Device Management · · Score: 2, Interesting

    20 minutes ago I powered down our BES for the last time. Got all my Blackberry users over to iPhones and Android two months ago. It felt so good knowing that my last annual support payment was the final one. It really wasn't even me driving the migration away from Blackberry, it was my users basically demanding iPhones and Incredibles. Nobody here has cared about a RIM launch in ages.

  19. Re:I'm really sick of this trend on Facebook: the Law Says You Can't Have Your Data · · Score: 1

    What the hell kind of job requires the employer to review your FB profile as part of the application process?

  20. Re:Good. on NYC Mayor Wants Traffic Camera On Every Corner · · Score: 1

    Then change the timing of the lights to prevent it, rather than just catch the people as they do it.

  21. But... on Navy Bomb Squads Get a Solar Power Upgrade · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've been told repeatedly that alternative energy is just a Liberal tree-hugging pipe dream that destroys jobs and wastes money! Now you're telling me that we can wage more effective war by using solar energy? Well, consider my mind blown. Vote Republican! 'Cause anything else is treason!

  22. Re:Unfortunately.... on DOJ: We Can Force You To Decrypt That Laptop · · Score: 1

    That's a good idea. Any legal beagles have any thoughts on that?

  23. How exactly did they pay them? on Paying Hacker Extortion · · Score: 2

    PayPal? Besides airdropping suitcases full of cash into the ocean, how do corporations pay ransom these days?

  24. Re:Same problem here on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Other People's Email? · · Score: 1

    Hey, that's MY luggage combination!

  25. Re:Not meant literally, but rather a cultural appe on CDC Warns of Zombie Apocalypse · · Score: 2

    Yes. Let's make their work a "for profit" exercise. Good idea.
