  1. Re:Better watch out on A Printer That Uses No Consumables · · Score: 1

    It's too late. Don't you read "the wall"?

  2. Hrm on Snuggie for Geeks · · Score: 1

    The whole idea of a snuggie is that you can keep your arms warm while wearing a blanket and doing things such as reading. This just keeps the air between you and your laptop keyboard warm, while keeping your arms shivering. Horrible.

  3. Re:NO NO NO NO NO on Super Strong Metal Foam Discovered · · Score: 1

    I believe this is the picture in question.

  4. I wonder what he wrote on it. on Microsoft CEO Signs Student's Mac Laptop · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It looks like he wrote a note or something on it. I love how he looks away from the crowd and towards the ground a lot. For being such a big guy with a large personality, he doesn't carry himself with a lot of confidence.

  5. Re:Could be worse on US Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret Bible Codes · · Score: 1

    I think you mean Luke 6:27-31

  6. Re:Article missing a critical detail. on Police Called Over 11-Year-Old's Science Project · · Score: 1

    The entire page looks like it was written by a 7th grade D Student. Horrible.

  7. Don't see what the big deal is on The Gradual Erosion of the Right To Privacy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The things I post on facebook are things I would show to any stranger. I think of facebook as a PR tool, when I post to it, I imagine showing everybody in the world. I would never use it to share anything "secret". If there were pictures I only wanted certain friends to see, I wouldn't use facebook to share them. How hard can this be?

  8. Re:Simple Rugged Durable = Better on Is Early Childhood Education Technology Moving Backwards? · · Score: 1

    Pics and slashdot UID of the 21 year old daughter plz.

  9. Will this make? on Building Complex Circuits With Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will this make "the Internet is a series of tubes" true?

  10. Re:thats business on Do IT Pros Abuse Their Power? · · Score: 5, Funny

    So on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your satisfaction with your IT Department? 1 being extremely satisfied, 10 being extraordinarily satisfied.

  11. Re:Marketing, not charity on Charities Upset Over Chase Facebook Contest · · Score: 2, Informative

    Those non profit get out of debt corporations are just collection agencies for the credit card companies. I'd be even more concerned if one of those won the contest. Imagine how good it would look for them as they evaded taxes, got great PR, free advertising, and collected old debts all at once.

  12. Re:Because death threats are illegal and a felony on Student Banned From Minnesota Campus Over Facebook Comments · · Score: 1

    Unless you're on IRC or USENET.

  13. Re:Age and quality. on Slashdot Turns 100,000 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I credit the moderation system.

  14. Re:lowest account number? on Slashdot Turns 100,000 · · Score: 4, Funny

    You have to hold a four or five digit UID to wake them from the darkness, otherwise they won't listen and will continue to hide.

  15. Re:Forget Farmville on Farmville, Social Gaming, and Addiction · · Score: 1

    Same thing happened to my college girlfriend. Her name Danielle by chance?

  16. When I read the title.. on Colleges Struggling With the Digital Bathroom Wall · · Score: 2, Funny

    When I read the title, I envisioned an actual whiteboard on the wall of a bathroom stall that allowed people to write on it. I figured the problems were people using real sharpies on it.

  17. Re:Performance gap but not Conformance gap on Microsoft Aims To Close Performance Gap With Internet Explorer 9 · · Score: 1

    Microsoft are planning something for the long run, and none of us will like it. Imagine a web DirectX object that is tied to IE, with patents so that no other browser can attempt at implementing it. Assume that's what they've been working on, with IE 6/7 being there just to distract the masses. A DirectX Web API could do things jQuery dreamed of, and much faster. Enabling web apps to run as fast as deskop Apps on the new Windows Web Framework. If we're lucky, we will get dismal mac support.

  18. Re:Not to hijack, but I need something for a kid, on Computer Activities for Those With Speech and Language Difficulties? · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, we won't help you with your homework.

  19. Ads on App Store Developer Speaks Out On Game Piracy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If I were this developer, I would display ads to the pirates, be it within the game or on an HTML formatted score board. This would hopefully recoup some of the lost money, and would keep everybody happy. I would be interested in their take on the idea.

  20. Re:No, thanks on Ultracapacitor Bus Recharges At Each Stop · · Score: 4, Funny

    Reliance on arbor infrastructure to get around and possibility of falling to the ground? I'll stick to swimming underwater, thank you.

  21. Re:Over Hyped on FCC Chairman Warns of Wireless Spectrum Gap · · Score: 1

    I wish that I could mod you up. This makes total sense. More lower power transceivers in dense populations, and fewer high powered transceivers in sparse populations.

  22. Re:Least of our problems on Cops Play Wii During Undercover Drug Raid · · Score: 1

    That only works for women.

  23. Re:Least of our problems on Cops Play Wii During Undercover Drug Raid · · Score: 1

    State Police - or the police of the police. They watch themselves and local police departments. They thrive on 'narking' on cops and each other.

  24. Re:really? on Most Detailed Photos of an Atom Yet · · Score: 5, Funny

    The shadows are all wrong.

  25. Re:"dumb down?" on A Different Perspective On Snow Leopard's Exchange Support · · Score: 1

    Look up XPDE. The older version looked and IIRC, felt just like XP in "classic" mode.
