  1. How dare you suggest that something published on the Mirror could be fake??

    I have personally checked the footage and it looks 100% real... if you stand back a bit and squint...

  2. Re:Salvage the Parts! on Epson Is Trying To Kill the Printer Ink Cartridge · · Score: 1

    Gah! Epson! Someone salted my keyboard....

  3. Salvage the Parts! on Epson Is Trying To Kill the Printer Ink Cartridge · · Score: 1

    Once my latest cheapo printer has run out of ink it becomes fair game for my latest project.

    "Hmmm... I could really do with a decent motor, some belts and a bunch of gears..."

  4. Re:The whole idea is crazy on Quantum Equation Suggests Universe Had No Beginning · · Score: 1

    The question is supposed to be: What is the difference between a duck?

    Answer: One of it's legs is both the same.

    It is also meant to be a joke; not a theory on the origins of the universe. It may say something about whether God is a duck or not but I guess that will always be an open question.

    Except for quacks.

  5. Re:That light... on Neurologists Shine Light On Near-Death Experiences · · Score: 1

    Due to current economic conditions the light at the end of the tunnel has now been turned off.

  6. Re:I just had this conversation with a coworker: on Microsoft Kills Xbox One Phone-Home DRM · · Score: 1

    There was an earlier statement that the xbox would not function if the camera was obscured. Has that requirement been removed as well?

    I thought Camera obscura meant something else?

  7. Let's be nice today shall we? on Voxel.js: Minecraft-like Browser-Based Games, But Open Source · · Score: 1

    Seems like a few guys did a nice hack - more power to them - I look forward to a Sunday I waste messing about with it when I get the chance.

  8. My prediction on Flexible Phones 'Out By 2013' · · Score: 1

    My prediction is:
    - lots of strange wobbly phone designs
    - that will be a pain to hold and text on
    - whose main function is to go OOOO look how bendy I am!

  10. Re:i don't understand... on NASA To Encrypt All of Its Laptops · · Score: 2

    I think you are missing the ACs point - the important data on the laptop should be in sync with the servers. All of the other stuff is probably crud anyway.

    Or at least it should be....

  11. Re:Cyborgs are Cool. on Climbing 103 Floors On a 'Bionic' Leg · · Score: 1

    Out of the night that covers me,
    Black as the pit from pole to pole,
    I thank whatever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.

    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the Horror of the shade,
    And yet the menace of the years
    Finds and shall find me unafraid.

    It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll.
    I am the master of my fate:
    I am the captain of my soul.

  14. Killing me softly with Slashvertisments on Spy Gadgets: A Visit With the Real-Life Q · · Score: 4, Informative

    Dear god this must be a slow news day - I have never seen such a blatant slashvertisment in all the time I have wasted here.

    If you are tired of reading ads then read about the interesting stuff the mars rover found the other day, or maybe about this interesting comet

    Please Slashdot - don't make me hate you!

  15. Rational drunk (maybe) on Ask Slashdot: Open Communications Set-Up For Small Office? · · Score: 2

    I am guilty of posting after a few beers so mod me down as I deserve ...

    Slashdot is definitely the wrong place to pose this question as you may have already realised - if an open source god didn't exist then slashdot would have invented one

    My two cents? Take the path of least resistance. Choose the best thing you think you can successfully deliver on time to make the business work. When you have more time you can make things work better - if they don't work in the first place then no one will care about your well intentioned ideas

    At the same time - don't give up on your aspirations, just remember, deliver something you can control in the time given - you probably already know what that is.

    Fair point - but where are these peer reviewers hiding?

  17. Just stupid on Misconduct, Not Error, Is the Main Cause of Scientific Retractions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What surprises me is that these scientists actually weigh the risk reward in favour of damn lies. Fifteen minutes of fame then a dead career.

    Forgive my ignorance here but don't we already have this? What's wrong with using a volcano?
