  1. I'll check twitter on First Blue Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in 150 Years Coming This Month (space.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for the NDT tweet about how this isn't a big deal.

  2. So, I'm replying to you but really I could reply to anybody here regarding this. I don't get why Keurig is being painted in such a bad light here. I mean the process is pretty standard, hot water being poured through coffee grounds, but there are a ton Keurig compatible coffee brands, like DD and Starbucks and all those. Isn't a little air-tight pod with coffee grounds preferable to a bag in your cabinet (or freezer) that you take from day to day over the course of a week? Wouldn't the Keurig be fresher and better overall? I'd like to say I could tell the difference between a Keurig cup and one I get from anywhere else. I put cream and sugar in when it's available so I'm sure that muddies the waters a bit as far as taste goes. Does it really come down to the quality of the coffee in the individual pods then, from each manufacturer or is Keurig really to blame?

  3. Oculus was sort of right on Researcher Uses Valve Security Bug To Upload Paint Drying Game On Steam (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    And people were giving Oculus shit for turning off "outside of Oculus" games default. This is why.

  4. Wish I had some points for ya. I've definitely noticed that people simply don't appreciate others working hard to get rich. They must assume it was by some shady means that they acquired some money. To them, the fact that this card came out and is expensive is somehow worse than it never coming out - even though the gamer wouldn't be buying the card in either case. Take any product that ever came out, and there will always be a most expensive version. Just don't buy that one.

  5. Re: Not kidding on Ask Slashdot: Beginner To Intermediate Programming Projects? · · Score: 1

    Just to be clear, the OP requested a medium level programming project and your suggestion is to tackle artificial intelligence? I'm considering getting into hiking, does Mt. Everest sound like a good choice?

  6. App on Kids Can Swipe a Screen But Can't Use LEGOs · · Score: 2

    I'm sure there's an App that simulates working with legos.

  7. Re: Noisy annoying environment on Why Working Remotely Needs To Make a Comeback · · Score: 1

    I have the absolutely identical situation, minus the 1989 cubicle.

  8. Re:No Tracks on Russian Army Upgrades Its Inflatable Weapons · · Score: 1

    and all of a sudden a tank company turns into a battalion.

    Batalioon?

  9. Re:Ouch. on iTunes Gift Card Key System Cracked, Exploited · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I read that in your blog. You know, the Bob LobLaw Law Blog.

  10. Re:A Little Known Maryland Scientist Has Made Publ on Scientist Patents New Method To Fight Global Warming · · Score: 1
    I made in public. Once.

  11. Re:So here's the question ... on Scientists Discover Proteins Controlling Evolution · · Score: 5, Funny

    'just a tip' is right.

  12. Re:Words mean something on Stars Could Shine In Many Universes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That's being closed minded (no offense). Scientists once thought the atom was the smallest block of matter. We now know that there are protons/neutrons/quarks/etc. Nobody is fighting to have the atom back, though.

  13. My question is on World's Oldest Bible Going Online · · Score: 2, Funny

    Will it blend?

  14. Impressive on LIGO Fails To Detect Gravity Waves · · Score: 1

    The interferometer is constructed in such a way that it can detect a change in the lengths of the two arms relative to each other of less than a thousandth the diameter of an atomic nucleus.
    But I still think my GF is more sensitive.
  15. Re:Culpability on GM Says Driverless Cars Will Be Ready By 2018 · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the cars will sense another car coming at an intersection and adjust its speed so that it barely misses the other car. A 'nobody stops' intersection would be amusing to watch, yet terrifying to go through :)

  16. Re:Not New on Genetically Engineered Mouse is Not Scared of Cats · · Score: 1

    I'm glad their tackling this fear things from both ends.
    Does your wife approve of this?
  17. This sounds more like on Law Firm Claims Copyright on View of HTML Source · · Score: 1

    Entrapment.

  18. goggles on Drawing on Air With Haptics in 3D · · Score: 1

    Is anybody familiar with an in-headset pair of goggles for less then $250? Its seems like 3D goggles have never taken off, even though it has the potential to revolutionize many industries (imho).

  19. Look closer on Evanescent Lasers to Speed Up Data Transmission · · Score: 1

    Everybody keeps reading the word Evanescent as something else. Hopefully this tech will be used to make better contact lenses.

  20. Rare Showers? on Rare Meteor Event to Inform on Dangerous Comets · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I think that's something the slashdot crowd is familiar with.

  21. Wait.... on Perpetual Energy Machine Getting Lots of Attention · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is this the joke where we wrap the skeletons of Edison, Watt, Ampre, Einstein, Newton, and the like with magnets - and then wrap copper wires around them to generate power by them turning in their graves?

  22. Re:old stuff on A Look Beneath the 'Surface' · · Score: 1

    Chairs were invented thousands of years ago. They don't do a lot, so we'd better stop making them.

  23. Re:Unbiased? I think not. on Police Objecting to Tickets From Red-Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    Officer: Why did you run the red light? Driver: Because I was speeding! Officer: Why were you speeding? Driver: Because I just ran somebody over! Officer: I see... Driver: Look, these drugs aren't going to traffic themselves. Officer: You're free to go.

  24. This reminds me of on The Fine Art of 'Boss Science' · · Score: 1

    the Seinfeld episode where George realized that if you are angry all the time, people think you're really busy and a hard worker.

  25. Re:go directly to jail... on Recording Your Entire Life · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Today on the train ride home i'll finih 'The light of Other days', a book by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter. The book is about life with wormholes, where everybody can see anything they wish at any time. Its very interesting, a good read. Somebody else on slashdot recommended it and I bought it for a penny on amazon. If you do happen to pick it up, let me know what you think.
