  1. Virginia is a Commonwealth. on Virginia DMV Cracks Down On Uber, Lyft · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    nt ;)

  2. Re:When we are extinct on Extinct Species of Early Human Survived On Grass Bulbs, Not Meat · · Score: 1

    Isn't corn a type of grass? So they'll say we survived on grass.

  3. 93

    It's "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." Note the capitalization, the shall and the what.

    mmmmm popcorn

    93 93/93

  4. Re:Fireworks in 3...2...1... on Satanists Propose Monument At Oklahoma State Capitol Next To Ten Commandments · · Score: 1

    I read this out loud which resulted in me invoking Satan. She's forcing me to use Windows ME now. You freaking inconsiderate clod!!!!

  5. Re:Fuck off on Prison Is For Dangerous Criminals, Not Hacktivists · · Score: 1

    Yeah but ten years in prison is pushing it. Is cracking a computer system really more serious than manslaughter?

  6. The Phrase on Demo of Prototype Virtual Retinal Head Mounted Display · · Score: 2

    The Phrase "shut up and take my money" was made for this technology.

  7. How many amps are we talking about?

  8. contention service? on Ask Slashdot: Good Satellite Internet For Remote Locations? · · Score: 1

    So do you want to have just one contention, or were you thinking of taking a course?

  9. Green Glow on RAF Pilots Blinded At 1000 Mph By Helmet Technical Glitch · · Score: 1

    Soooo reading slashdot is just like flying 1000 mph?

  10. Re:Can I just stand? on Redesigned Seats Let Airlines Squeeze In More Passengers · · Score: 1

    Actually i would be happier if I could lie down the whole flight. Just give me a bunk with some cargo straps to hold me down in case of a crash. That way they could stack us and i can sleep comfortably.

  11. So who is going to direct... on International Effort Could Put First Canadian On the Moon · · Score: 1

    So who is going to direct this fake moon landing? It's a proven factoid that Kubrick directed the first (which is how he got access to those Carl Zeiss Planar f/0.7 lenses he used in Barry Lyndon). I think Ridley Scott will direct, though if lens flares are needed...

  12. Re:Don't fly. on Don't Fly During Ramadan · · Score: 1

    You want to get rid of the TSA?

    Don't fly.

    Make sure you don't take a train or drive a car either. Of course the TSA says this is all a myth.

  13. Really Cool on The Cryonics Institute Offers a Chance at Immortality (Video #2) · · Score: 1

    Pun intended and prefered. If I had the money, this would be my interment option. All the techno mumble jumble is too good to pass up. Plus liquid nitrogen is awesome!

  14. Re:Skunkworks on Area 51 No Longer (Officially) a Secret · · Score: 1

    Even as recent as the gulf war (yes I'm old enough to consider 1991 as recent) these aging spy planes were pressed into action because they were all we had, and they performed their task very well. Have to admire how well the military does being yanked around so much by politics (and of course they dish the politics right back... sequester and all that). But with all the abuses revealed of late by Private Manning, perhaps it's only fitting that the military is in decline, along with the nation, and has had its toys taken away.

    How about as recent as this year. The U2s are still flying.

  15. Re:Piracy! on Have eBooks Peaked? · · Score: 1

    I do the same, except I use the book to heat my house after i'm done reading it.

  16. Bury on Microsoft Is Sitting On Six Million Unsold Surface Tablets · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think i know an area in New Mexico where they can bury them. With good electronic company.

  17. figures on Real Version of Homer Simpson's Dream Car Built · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I took one look at it and thought "that would be a good build for 24 hours of lemons". Then i noticed thats exactly what it is for. I love that race series.

    Here is another great build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSC9MpCNSAE&feature=youtu.be

  18. Not a rocket scientist but.... on Landing On an Asteroid Might Cause an Avalanche · · Score: 1

    Only read the summary, but couldn't we just send a dense object to hit it first, causing the "avalanche" then safely land?

  19. Everything old is new again on Virtual Imaging Tech Helps People Get Over Social Anxieties · · Score: 1

    I remember writing a high school english paper on this idea back in 1998. I included VR technologies that didn't use headsets (some kind of VR dome that allowed for real time interaction). I assume they have built a holodeck now?

  20. Mexico Re:Gun control however... on California Lawmaker Wants 3-D Printers To Be Regulated · · Score: 1

    Actually you CAN own a .22 in mexico. It's just that it's heavily regulated. Obligitory wikipedia link and quote.
    " Weapons may be kept in the home for security and legitimate defense of its dwellers. Their possession imposes the duty to manifest them to the Secretariat of National Defense for their registration. For every weapon, record of its registration will be issued."

    And a secondary quote from wikipedia

    "Under these two articles, private citizens are generally restricted to semi-automatic handguns or revolvers of a caliber no greater than .380 (for home defense),[28] rifles no greater than .22, and shotguns no greater than a 12-gauge (hunting and shooting when a member of a club). Anything bigger than those calibers is considered for exclusive use of the military and strictly forbidden for civilian possession, as defined by Article 11 of the Federal Law of Firearms and Explosives.[29] "

    As far as I know, Aguila Ammunition is still manufactured in mexico, including .22 LR.

    So the 100% Mexico ban you stated is little less than 100% imho.

  21. Re:COAL on When Your Data Absolutely, Positively has to be Destroyed (Video) · · Score: 1

    Coal is about $80/ton. Take about 1lb of that, light it, set a bunch of hard drives in the middle of it, put a house fan next to it... hard drives are a puddle of molten steel/plastic in about 10min and it cost you pennies. You can do the same with propane, but you'll need to build a burner and such.

    $80 a ton? Where and what kind? Anthracite is around $200 a ton in the PA region. Where I am, in the South West, I was paying around $300 a ton for bituminous coal this past winter.

    Also, coal burns a little diffrently than wood. Make sure the air is coming from under the bed of coals.

  22. Re:hellz yes on Why a Linux User Is Using Windows 3.1 · · Score: 1

    So, let me get this straight... Instead of running an NES emulator directly on your Android tablet (and there are plenty such emulators available), you're going to run an NES emulator on top of Windows 3.1 on top of DOS inside of an x86 emulator on top of Android?

    Actually the better option would be to run a NES emulator on top of Windows 3.1 on top of DOS inside of an x86 emulator inside a native Android application running in Windows 8.

  23. Re:Live forever or die trying on Building the Ultimate Safe House · · Score: 1

    Geologically and climatologically safe places are almost always boring, empty and low-value.

    Also, these areas probably have secret US bases and research facilities that are targeted by Russian nukes.

  24. Hot Pockets on 50 Years of Research and Still No Microwave Weapons · · Score: 1

    I thought that Hot Pockets were classed as microwave WMDs.

  25. Re:Inkjets dont have to be so expensive... on Lexmark To Exit Inkjet Printer Market · · Score: 1

    They do a much nicer job on color than laser printers do.

    You should say "than most laser printers do". Many minilabs (photo) use lasers to print on photo paper. The Fuji Frontier minilab being a good example.

    Let the giclee (inkjet ) vs laser religious war begin.
