  1. The verst! on AT&T Begins Capping Broadband Users (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    It's called Uverse because U vill be verse off.

  2. Seems biased on Men Are Sabotaging The Online Reviews Of TV Shows Aimed At Women (fivethirtyeight.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Sabotoging" means deliberately destroying something. The author failed to provide any basis that men want to deliberately destroy programming for women and overcome the glaringly obvious reason men voted against certain shows: they disliked the program. In fact, the article dismisses all men's opinion by calling it "sabotage" rather than a valid expression of their feelings. Men may dislike shows depicting guys as the bumbling idiots often portrayed in shows targeting women. Rather than blame men for their vote, the author should encourage women to vote, or ask why such shows portray men that way.

  3. Startup accelerator? Will this make my Mac boot even faster? Or will they replace the opening chimes with the Rolling Stones classic, "Start me up"?

  4. Feeding the hand that feeds you on John McAfee Tried to Trick Reporters Into Thinking He Hacked WhatsApp (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    And in completely unrelated news, it turns out all viruses were created by antivirus software companies.

  5. If three years ago their prediction for encryption use in seven years exists today, then it's only accelerated by four years.

  6. She is being sexist on Reddit CEO Ellen Pao Bans Salary Negotiations To Equalize Pay For Men, Women · · Score: 1

    Seems like if she were truly interested in helping women, she would encourage, reward and train women to negotiate since it is a learned skill, not a gender based genetic trait. Instead, she takes the sexist position that women are inherently poor negotiators because of their gender, like it is genetic, so the only solution is to rig the selection process because women cannot be trained or encouraged to negotiate.

  7. Hey, if you're gonna have a blast, make it an atomic blast!

  8. Man in the middle on Drug-Resistant Malaria May Pose Major Threat · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's being spread by a man-in-the-middle attack, where the man in the middle has malaria and is literally an actual man in the middle. Most likely an Anti-Vaxxer.

  9. WASPs on FDA Wants To Release Millions of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes In Florida · · Score: 5, Funny

    With the mosquitos gone, the WASPs will move in, causing gentrification in the area as the higher prices sting a lot worse.

  10. Who dat on Silk Road on US Government Lurked On Silk Road For Over a Year · · Score: 5, Funny

    Turns out, the government was just buying and selling to itself the whole time and no one else is actually on Silk Road!

  11. Millions of voices crying out in terror from Alder on Ask Slashdot: Sounds We Don't Hear Any More? · · Score: 1

    Millions of voices crying out in terror from Alderaan.

  12. Re:computerworlduk under attack! on London Stock Exchange Was 'Under Major Cyberattack' During Linux Switch · · Score: 1

    This type of error is unexceptional in that you expect it to be exceptional.

  13. Re:We never needed foreign workers on Are Silicon Valley's Glory Days Over? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Thank you for your racist stereotyping. Along that same vein, whenever you get over 25% Christian people on a team, you start to see their cultural influence. Christians believe in pedophilia, serial killing, embezzling money, terrorism, and lynching minorities because they think their culture is superior. It starts to kill the team. And that's where I see most teams today in my company. PS Learn to spell, dumbass

  14. 5 Parsecs on New Motorcycle World Speed Record, 367.382 mph · · Score: 1

    But can it do the Kessell run in 5 parsecs? That's what I thought.

  15. Shite Plot! on Main Toilet On ISS Craps Out · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm waiting for Hollywood to make a movie about sending Joe the Plumber into space to prevent a Russian chocolate rain of terror raining down on the United States from the ISS. Starring Bruce Willis as Joe the Plumber.

  16. Patent Trolls? on Worlds.com To Extend Virtual World Lawsuit To Second Life, WoW · · Score: 1

    Are they +5 armor Patent Trolls?

  17. NVDIA's Plann on NVIDIA Responds To Intel Suit · · Score: 1

    A GPU that replaces the CPU becomes the CPU. NVDIA created a GPU API that allows the GPU to be used for ANY computation and not be limited to graphics only. NVDIA is trying to become the CPU, or relegate the CPU to a very small role to grow NVDIA's business. They are trying to choke Intel by doing an end-run around the limits of their contract with Intel. As the GPU does more and more computation, it becomes indispensable.

  18. I do this now on Rabbit Ears To Stage a Comeback Thanks To DTV · · Score: 1

    I do this now--no cable TV at all, just DTV + Bunny ears. For me it sucks because I get a poor signal due to surrounding structures, thus the video pixelates and the sound stutters a lot. If I could get a decent signal, it would be a great alternative because the picture is crisp and clear.

  19. Wrong on Diskeeper Accused of Scientology Indoctrination · · Score: 5, Informative

    Under title VII, they will lose. Unless the Supreme Court declares Title VII unconstitutional with respect to the 1st Amendment, of course, which they might since the new ones are a bunch of religious fundamentalists. The 1st Amendment does not give anyone a right to impose their religion on others as a condition of employment. http://www.eeoc.gov/types/religion.html

  20. Quantum of Solace on James Boyle's New Book Under CC License · · Score: 1

    Can't he get a Quantum of Solace? After all, he's Boyle. James Boyle.

  21. OK on Solving the Knight's Tour Puzzle In 60 Lines of Python · · Score: 1

    "rm -rf knights"

  22. Re:Seems kind of silly on Machine Condenses Drinking Water Out of Thin Air · · Score: 1

    But then they would end up with heavy water, adding unnecessary weight that requires a stronger container.

  23. Culture on Saudi Arabia Begins To Realize Supercomputer Ambitions · · Score: 0

    But will they unVEIL it to sharia it with the rest of the world? Only if they replace their shoes with BURQAnstocks to save the souls of their feet.

  24. ACTA Now! on Citizens Demand To See Secret ACTA Treaty · · Score: 3, Funny

    Better ACTA soon, or you will have to forfeit the counterfeit.

  25. 3D tr2n? on Bootleg Tron 2 Trailer Is Out In the Wild · · Score: 1

    3D tr2n? No wonder you ended up in Giz.
