  1. Re:Yahoo, kill yourself! on Yahoo Stops Honoring 'Do-Not-Track' Settings · · Score: 1

    Mayer needs new drapes for her conference room.

  2. Re:What the hell? on Rand Paul Suggests Backing Bitcoin With Stocks · · Score: 1

    His supporters only care about one or two ideological issues, and nothing else. Sadly, the same is true for most politicians.

  3. What the hell? on Rand Paul Suggests Backing Bitcoin With Stocks · · Score: 2

    Is he really that stupid?

  4. Re:do we need more shitty scripters? on Coding Bootcamps Already 1/8th the Size of CS Undergraduates · · Score: 1

    I'm envisioning a Michael Bay remake of Hackers where everyone has a popped collar and chugs Natty Light. Oh, and Megan Fox will be in it too.

  5. Drones, baby. on Why Does Amazon Want To Sell Its Own Smartphone, Anyway · · Score: 2

    It'll be easier for their drones to find me if I have an Amazon phone.

  6. Re:These are NOT... on Star Wars: Episode VII Cast Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the most-recent, non-Abrams Trek films were pretty bad. Insurrection and Nemesis had terrible plots, and paled in quality when compared to First Contact. I had hoped that Abrams could reboot the franchise and take it in an entirely new direction. Sadly, he opted for a cheap way out. Now, a Michael Bay Star Trek...that has some potential.

  7. Re:Certain Disappointment on Star Wars: Episode VII Cast Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    Amen to this!

  8. Didn't see it coming? on AOL Finally Admits They Were Hacked · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wait, they employ a "Digital Prophet." Why didn't Shingy see it coming?

  9. Re:Certain Disappointment on Star Wars: Episode VII Cast Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    The more time that hack Abrams spends on Star Wars means less time he has to screw up Star Trek even more than he already has.

  10. Re:Security through Antiquity? on US Nuclear Missile Silos Use Safe, Secure 8" Floppy Disks · · Score: 1

    All jokes aside, it actually is fairly secure against some types of intrusions. The real issue is maintaining antiquated technology, and making sure new users are trained on it.

  11. Hell no! on You Are What You're Tricked Into Eating · · Score: 1

    Nothing is "tricking" me into eating McRibs. I do it because I like the taste!

  12. Don't drop one for another. on Skilled Manual Labor Critical To US STEM Dominance · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If someone really wants to go to college, and major in history, they should still do that. Having a passion or interest in something, even if it might not pay all the bills, isn't a bad thing. That being said, if someone is languishing in college or still on the fence about going, picking up a trade can be a tremendous benefit. They might not stick with it over the years, but it gives them something solid to fall back on.

  13. Milk that cow! on Netflix Plans To Raise Prices By "$1 or $2 a Month" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I guess they found a way to cover the costs of their deal with Comcast.

  14. Re:15" Golf Holes on Google: Better To Be a 'B' CS Grad Than an 'A+' English Grad · · Score: 0

    When I first read that article this morning, I thought I was on the Onion. Sadly, I was mistaken. That being said, having larger holes might make it easier for some children to pick up the sport, and retain it.

  15. Re:Consoles on Ask Slashdot: What Tech Products Were Built To Last? · · Score: 1

    Same here! My kids play my old GameCube now, and both the console and the two Wavebirds are going strong.

  16. Re:do they have a progressive view? on Detroit: America's Next Tech Boomtown · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I'm from Michigan, and still visit on a semi-regular basis. There are a few pockets of independent thought, but the state is still too focused on that union mentality. I just can't see a successful tech culture developing there. Plus the weather really sucks.

  17. Well, didn't he get a marriage proposal from Anna Chapman? I could sell out for that.

  18. I must be in the minority. on Survey: 56 Percent of US Developers Expect To Become Millionaires · · Score: 1

    I just enjoy fixing broken code, and making something better. I guess I'm doing it wrong.

  19. Re:Titanfall's pros and cons on Titanfall Dev Claims Xbox One Doesn't Need DX12 To Improve Performance · · Score: 1

    Exclusive the the Xbox One...which is why I prefer to play it on my PC.

  20. Re:This is how America ceases to be great on Comcast PAC Gave Money To Every Senator Examining Time Warner Cable Merger · · Score: 1

    Pretty much. Sadly, as long as voters get their one or two ideological issues supported their representatives in the legislature can do whatever they want.

  21. Too many microtransactions. on Do Free-To-Play Games Get a Fair Shake? · · Score: 4, Informative

    The microtransactions are what really turn me off to F2P games. Most games allow you to progress rapidly to a certain point, then you hit the wall HARD. You either continue to shell out a few dollars here and there, stop playing, or just continue to coast along without spending a dime. If I was just being offered cosmetic items, I wouldn't have a problem. However, in many cases you have zero ability to progress.

  22. Re:Software doesn't wear out. on Meet the Diehards Who Refuse To Move On From Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Same here. I'm running my media and my children's WoW server from an XP box in my office. So far, I haven't had a real need to upgrade it.

  23. Re:It all winds up on a dinner table on UN Court: Japanese Whaling "Not Scientific" · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nah, more efficient grilling and seasoning techniques.

  24. This applies only to wearables? on New Australian Privacy Laws Could Have Ramifications On Google Glass · · Score: 1

    It's not really about privacy if I'm allowed to film my family on vacation with a camera, but can't do the same with Google glass. If I'm in a public space, do I really have a right to privacy? I don't think I do.

  25. Re:What do the cartridges cost? on The 3D Economy — What Happens When Everyone Prints Their Own Shoes? · · Score: 1

    Depending on the 3-D printer that you have, you can buy the spools of material separately, then load it into a cartridge. You could probably do this on all machines with a small amount of modding.
