  1. Re:And Nothing Of Value as Lost. on Pandora Loses 7 Million Listeners (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 2

    The timing is enjoyable. I stopped listening to Pandora this past week. I don't mind the ads, but when you play the same effing ad over and over I had no choice but to go to Spotify. Spotify, although not as good at "stations" IMHO, has far out innovated Pandora's one trick pony. Pandora if you care, it's the Innovations for Poverty action advertisement that would advertise every 5-10 minutes. Second only to KARS4KIDS. I hope you too have that effing song in you head. You have immense troves of data, try getting a data analyst worth their salt to make your platform better.

  2. Re:Don't freak out. on The World's First 3D-Printed Gun · · Score: 0

    Try ordering a barrel or bolt without a FFL (Federal Firearms License). You won't get very far. Now if you have your own CNC shop AND a 3-D plastic printer, well then you're on your way...

  3. Re:You too can be an armchair scientist. on Scientists Discover Cows Point North · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm still trying to get my cow to float on the surface of a small dish of water. Am I the only one having problems with this?

  4. Re:POP? on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 1

    Imagine a ...

  5. No this means.. on Wireless Networking Speeds of 540 Mbps w/ 802.11n · · Score: 1

    No this means you can join another class action suit against D-Link for promissing theoretical speeds and failing to account for the inherent overhead with wireless such as encryption and authentication. Bullshit indeed. Now where did I put my attorney?

  6. Re:They must be vi users... on Update on the Optimus Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I've always wanted a keyboard with a giant, red plunger style Esc button. I like to nail the Esc key to back out of windows, and when I'm backing out of screens in windows I like to hit Esc especially hard.

  7. It's already released on torrent! on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 1

    Despite the fact that the movie is still in preproduction, you can already download the final product from your favorite torrent site! Holly shit!

  8. How stylish are the gloves? on Steering Wheel Checks Alcohol Consumption · · Score: 1

    What do the gloves look like? Do they have sequins on them? Can they detect Jesus Juice? What, too soon?

  9. Re:Mathologist on Download Your Brain · · Score: 1

    And don't confuse futurologist with future urologist.

  10. Quality control? on 45GB Triple-Layer HD DVDs · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked the price of dual layer DVDs was over $5/disk. My understanding is this is due to the high failure rate in production of blank discs. I can only imagine a triple layer disc would suffer an even greater problem of quality control. Thus I wouldn't count on the blanks being too cost effective in the near-term.

  11. Re:American Pi? on Mathematicians Become Hollywood Consultants · · Score: 1

    What's next? A hardcore squad of geek detectives solving crimes with Netcraft and Nagios?

    We must move up production, suitepotatoe knows too much. End transmission.

  12. Re:Hmm on Adobe Blasts Nikon's Closed File Format · · Score: 1

    I can't stand the PDF format. It's clumbsy, bloated, and copies poorly into other documents. On a fillable form it can't be saved. Did I mention it's slow an bloated. I love google and their view as HTML option. Troll or flamebait me if you must, but I can't be the only one that chokes on his own rage when seeing a PDF document.

    Yes I realize the previous post is sarchastic.

  13. Dilbert? Seriously? on The Best of Verity Stob · · Score: 1

    I hate to see Dilbert in a "funny" list with Futurama, Slashdot I can understand.

  14. Douglas Adams Lives!!!!!! on Randomly Generated Paper Accepted to Conference · · Score: 1

    ...this number is certainly always finite -- and in some cases, very much so.

    Douglas Adams is alive!

  15. That's my wife you insensitive clod! on Water Spectacular in Episode III? · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's my wife you insensitive clod!

  16. Re:Those Crazy Feds on Feds Hack Wireless Network in 3 Minutes · · Score: 2, Funny

    No linksys like the ID.

  17. Extreme Plasmonics on A Plasmonic Revolution for Computer Chips? · · Score: 1

    And if Intel makes a dual core plasmonics processor it will be called the Extreme Plasmonics SUX-2000. Or something like that.

  18. Anyone for Bitchin' Duluxe? on Preview of Intel's Dual-Core Extreme Edition · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the turbo button on 386 machines. It was sort of like a "don't suck" option you could turn on.

    Deluxe is probably my favorite word for greatness that invariably means crappiness. Extreme is so late 1990s.

  19. Re:The big upside for Microsoft on Microsoft Offers New Data-Security Scheme · · Score: 1

    This would be true on a limited basis. If a rash of non-geeks (general public) get blasted by some exploit, the blame would fall back on MS.

  20. Google helped me score heroin on Objectively Comparing Competing Search Engines? · · Score: 2, Funny

    BB gave me several good locations to score some China White, but Google's beta Junkie Search performed remarkably well. Thanks again googlasdlghoaeu...


    Risking karma for a little laugh.

  21. Bermuda Aliens bad, Jamaica also a concern on Underwater Robot to Re-Cross Gulf Stream · · Score: 1

    Yes, the triangle aliens would be bad, but equally concerning is if the robot accidentally surfaces in Jamaica and gets bogged down with spliffs. Ya-mon that trench is deeeeeep, cin.

  22. Look at this monkey.... on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 3, Funny

    Look at this monkey.... [Head asplode] That does not make sense.

  23. Yes, ?????? Jon on Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD · · Score: 1

    The question no one is asking is which sounds better:

    HD-DVD Jon

    or

    Blu-Ray Jon

    Personally I look forward to Blue-Ray Jon providing many more "surprises".

  24. Re:Final solution? on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 1

    No banging your head on the display case, please. It contains a very rare "Mary Worth" in which she has advised a friend to commit suicide. Thank you.

  25. Hard Hat Mack and Load Runner Emulator on Apple I Replica Creation · · Score: 3, Funny

    Finally an emulator that won't suck on a P4! Now if I could only find those 20 year old 5 1/4s that I store next to my magnet collection.
