    I hope that they include "Le Petomane", who could fart "La Marseillaise" and outdrew Sarah Bernhardt!

    It's too bad I can't mod TFS funny.

  3. Re:Sounds wasteful and stupid ... on Haier Plans To Embed Area Wireless Chargers In Home Appliances · · Score: 1

    Drill a hole in the pipe to the showerhead and glue in a digital fever thermometer. On, off, and the right range for a shower!

    Or, adhere one of those thermometer strips available for home brewing and wine-making.

  4. Razors on Microsoft's JavaScript Engine Gets Two-Tiered Compilation · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can see this going the same way as number of shaving blades on a razor with 5 tiered JIT js.

  7. Re:Not good enough on Say Goodbye To That Unwanted U2 Album · · Score: 1

    The only thing Apple did was flag that album as purchased for all iTunes accounts.

    Except that it wasn't purchased and flagging it as such doesn't make it so.

  8. Re:Google should win this if they went to court... on German Court: Google Must Stop Ignoring Customer E-mails · · Score: 1

    Communication is two way. Monologue is one way.

  9. Re:No comments here yet... on Ask Slashdot: What Smartwatch Apps Could You See Yourself Using? · · Score: 1

    Maybe the people who would answer this question are still waiting in line to buy one so that they can post to /. while waiting in line?

  10. Re:Old skool on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    '2. All of Infocom's text adventures.'

    Text adventures are still being produced. The Interactive Fiction Archive has many old and new games. Many are very good.

  11. Re:Oh, really? on DoT Proposes Mandating Vehicle-To-Vehicle Communications · · Score: 1

    Why aren't heavy trucks and other commercial vehicles included?

    'The vast, vast majority of tech engineers that I talked to who are from the United States are very supportive of bringing in people from other countries...'

    Name them.

  13. Re:not big in UK on Gas Cooled Reactors Shut Down In UK · · Score: 2

    True, but this seems to apply to all large scale power generation, whether it's land for hydro or windmills (and screw the people living there who have to put up with it or move) or cash for nuclear. To say nothing of externalizing the environmental costs.

    It's called subsidizing (if you disagree with it) or incentivising (if you do).

  14. Re:Take it a step further... on Wiring Programmers To Prevent Buggy Code · · Score: 1

    "Difficult tasks are potential bug generators..."

    So are easy tasks; it can be surprising how much of a bug generator is complacency.

  15. Re:That anyone can knit at home? on Want To Work Without Prying Eyes? Try Wearing a Body Sock · · Score: 1

    Why, yes. People are normally much happier when they are at a comfortable temperature.

    Make a mini-grow-op.They'll never flag the extra power used for lamps.

  18. Re:What is BSD good for? on FreeBSD 9.3 Released · · Score: 1

    Mac is the CEO's hot, airhead secretary (AA) who drinks double mocha lattes with extra cream and thinks her magnetic bracelet will cure her cold.

    Windows is the fuckup team member (nephew of the chairman of the board) whose output is so bad that build scripts were developed to automatically remove his code.

  19. Re:It's turtles all the way down on How Deep Does the Multiverse Go? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But, is it turtles all the way up?

  20. Re: does it mean anything though? on FDA: We Can't Scale To Regulate Mobile Health Apps · · Score: 1

    It's a good point, but the problem is to recognize the good one amongst all the bad ones. A bad one slipping through could cost even more lives.

    How well does this work for randomized keypad layouts?

    ... we'd probably save 100,000 lives next year.

    A properly set up health care system could probably save a million.

  24. Re:Age of the earth on Why the Moon's New Birthday Means the Earth Is Older Than We Thought · · Score: 3, Insightful

    With what did the collision happen if the earth wasn't already there? I fail to see how the moon being carved out the earth 60 Myr earlier affects the age of the earth.

  25. Re:Also... on Recommendations For Classic Superhero Comic Collections? · · Score: 1

    Well, since it's Golden Age about which we're speaking, I'd recommend TECO or ED.
