  1. Re:Lame mandatory comment subject on BlackBerry 10 Can BBM Anything You're Watching, Even Porn · · Score: 1

    Is that a cue for a "my 12' inch pianist" joke?

  2. Re:BlackBerry users watch porn? on BlackBerry 10 Can BBM Anything You're Watching, Even Porn · · Score: 1

    Do you really think it's much different than company provided laptops/desktops? With a device that's small enough to carry to a more "private office"? People watch images of scantly clad members of their target sex whenever they think they can get away with it.

  3. Re:Ok, I understand privacy but on BlackBerry 10 Can BBM Anything You're Watching, Even Porn · · Score: 1

    Well this looks like a ... RIM job!

  4. Re:Wow on BlackBerry 10 Can BBM Anything You're Watching, Even Porn · · Score: 1

    why do I get the mental image of mr burns rubbing his hands and grinning?

  5. Re:Wake me up, when September (April) ends.. on How To Communicate Faster-Than-Light · · Score: 1

    I would settle for electric shocks as it would be easier to implement than a punch. The sooner I get this feature, the better. I am looking forward on a rfc on "punitive measures over WANs" aka "shock the dumbass protocol"

  6. Re:Swimming with dolphins? on GoPro Issues DMCA Takedown Over Negative Review · · Score: 1

    Oh, yeah. The extreme part is when one of the dolphins decides it wants to have sex with you. Then, the swimming gets extreme in a hurry. You want to turn your GoPro off for that. It's a little TOO extreme.

    I bet there is good money to be made in the "special interests" market for videos like this.

  7. So on Play Wii, Become a Better Surgeon · · Score: 1

    So it looks like all those hack an slash titles where good for something after all...

  8. Re:4D printing? on MIT Researcher Demos Self-Assembling Objects · · Score: 1

    Unless you're printing into the past and future, how is this 4D?

    Web 2.0 ...
    Because it sounds "cool" for the masses, even though it makes anyone actually in the field cringe.

  9. Re:Don't change it... on Shorter '.uk' Domain Name Put On Ice · · Score: 1

    actually xxx.gov.[country_code] could prove to be rather interesting in Italy (Bunga Bunga), France or the States. But I don't even want to contemplate on Germany.

  10. Re:F.and S on Shorter '.uk' Domain Name Put On Ice · · Score: 2

    yeah, but currently you're outofl.uk with this

  11. Re:Better use of money and effort on Future Fighters Won't Need Ejection Seats · · Score: 3, Insightful

    One Idea would be to stop selling (or giving away) weapons to the bad guys.

  12. Re:Stop Automobile Violence Act on NASCAR Tries To Squelch Video of Spectators Injured By Crash · · Score: 1

    This should also remove the obesity problem.

  13. Re:I'll tell you what's gross-Gladiators. on NASCAR Tries To Squelch Video of Spectators Injured By Crash · · Score: 1

    Actually it's panem et circensis - Bread and Games. The blood is only a part (although important) of the games.

  14. Re:False Takedown Notice? on NASCAR Tries To Squelch Video of Spectators Injured By Crash · · Score: 1

    Though I'd guess Google could come up with a pretty decent number for lost add revenue.

  15. Re:Only because of Adblolck on CAPTCHA Using Ad-Based Verification · · Score: 1

    So Adblock needs to evolve to autosolve these captchas. You could even crwodsource it quite easily, so every new captcha would have to be solved once and all other users could now bypass it.

  16. Re:Yeah? on CAPTCHA Using Ad-Based Verification · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia the ducks quack you?

  17. Re:Like fusion. . . on NASA's Basement Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    The "future" from "Back to the future" had a Mr Fusion in less than 50 years from now. And flying cars! Where is my flying car dammit?

  18. Re:CO-OP on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 1

    Honeypot. Let him use the connection, but poison it. Log everything he does, serve malware whatever you like. It's your network and he should not be there. Virtual frontier justice works rather nicely too.

  19. Re:On injuries and damage on Huge Meteor Blazes Across Sky Over Russia; Hundreds Injured · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't this surprise me one bit...

  20. Re:humans on Ancient Teeth Bacteria Record Disease Evolution · · Score: 1

    Aside from dietary difference, we live longer than our teeth evolved to last. Old pets (dogs for example) have similar problems.
    But of course eating to much starch or sugar isn't helpful either.

  21. Re:What do YOU need. on Ask Slashdot: What Does the FOSS Community Currently Need? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What about an MP3 Database over removable drives, that lists duplicates and relatives (ie copies or same song - different sample rate, or same song live - studio version), allows mass renaming/updating (or even auto labeling from an online source) - Bonus feature: remember update for other copies of the file on external drives. Along with the option to label drives as "backup of x" (needs all songs in x), player (files may be removed if they exist elsewhere), storage or import (no changes to drive). Add a timestamp for last sync in the database for each drive.
    This might not be the holy grail, and may even exist(?), but it would be useful and is the first thing that came to mind.

  22. Re:The result of funding cuts for observatories on Huge Meteor Blazes Across Sky Over Russia; Hundreds Injured · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A few years ago I would have said "only in America", but then Italy dragged geologists to court for not predicting an earthquake.

  23. Re:On injuries and damage on Huge Meteor Blazes Across Sky Over Russia; Hundreds Injured · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Until a few of years ago the collapse of central heating in winter was rather commonplace. All the broken windows are a new feature, but I'd say Russians are very good at improvising and will cope with the situation.

  24. Re:Almost? on Huge Meteor Blazes Across Sky Over Russia; Hundreds Injured · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well how's a interceptor missile supposed to know the difference and why should it even care? A fast moving, unidentified object enters your airspace, why shouldn't you try to shoot it down, even automatically?
    A large scale response needs to be done through humans and should require several safety features. But a single automated air defense missile? Does it move faster than an airplane? Has it been announced? Then shoot it down.

  25. Re:Looks legit on Brazilians Can Now Buy an "iPhone" Loaded With Android · · Score: 1

    I know Brazil is big, but Brazilians aren't in the top five for Apple sales (at least yet) and that's all they care for.
