  1. Re:Remember the oath you took? on Are the NIST Standard Elliptic Curves Back-doored? · · Score: 1

    You'd think that, but the people in charge understand "domestic enemies" to mean the American people.

  2. Re:Doesn't matter. Only option. on Neil deGrasse Tyson Says Private Business Will Not Open the Space Frontier · · Score: 1

    They should just go ahead and upgrade to the F150. I hear you can get one of those things for around $20,000.

    Doubtless flies better, too.

    Just super-glue some wings on that sucker and you're in business.

  3. Re:4 hours to respond on Angry Customer Buys Promoted Tweets To Bash British Airways · · Score: 1

    Did you get that time by looking at the tweet yourself? Because Twitter shows tweet times according to the time zone you're viewing a tweet from. So if I in North Carolina send something out at 8:39pm and you read it in Houston, Texas, Twitter will tell you I posted it at 7:39pm.

  4. Re:Florida Is Better on Building Melts Car · · Score: 1

    I've lived in Florida (Central) for thirteen years and never heard anything like either of those anecdotes.

    Though I do remember the woman with the can of, what was it, Pillsbury rolls? that burst and she thought she'd been shot.

  6. Re:I thought /. stories were moderated on The Greatest Keyboard Shortcut Ever · · Score: 1

    What's the keyboard shortcut for getting drek like the submission published?

  7. And you know what? on Why the NSA Can't Replace 90% of Its System Administrators · · Score: 1

    ...or they are simply going to be less effective once they've reduced their staff.

    I'm perfectly fine with their being less "effective."

  8. Re:Limit Lawyer fees to the actual compensation on Class-action Suit Filed Against Microsoft Over Surface Write Off · · Score: 1

    I think we should make lawyers subject to malpractice laws too...

    Great idea, but the problem with it is that the lawyers are the ones who write the laws. Even if they did pass something like what you're suggesting, they'd word it so carefully that basically nothing would change.

  9. Re: The incredible irony of.. on Apple Retailer Facing Class Action Suit Over Employee Bag Checks · · Score: 1

    I can't read this for the whoosh that's bursting my eardrums.

  10. Re: Misleading Article on Google Argues Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    ...and blackjack! And hookers!

  11. Re: The incredible irony of.. on Apple Retailer Facing Class Action Suit Over Employee Bag Checks · · Score: 1

    Could I get a car analogy for this?

  12. Hang on. on Court: Aereo TV Rebroadcast Is Still Legal · · Score: 3, Funny

    This isn't a late April Fool's Day joke, is it?

  13. Re:I preferred the ponies on Google Bumps Up Search a Notch With Google Nose BETA · · Score: 1

  14. The missing article... on Sony Reveals More PS4 and Dual Shock 4 Details · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think this is the article in question.

  15. Re:Spartan Bees on Bees Communicate With Electric Fields · · Score: 1
  16. Re:Spectrum cartel on T-Mobile Ends Contracts and Subsidies · · Score: 1

    Two TV Tropes links? That poor bastard, he won't be productive for a week and a half.

  17. Re:battery? Phone talking? on Samsung Also Making a Smartwatch · · Score: 1

    The Pebble (seems / claims) to do most of what you're describing. From what I understand, though, it doesn't have a speaker.

  18. Re:Tipping point ... on Electronics Arts CEO Ousted In Wake of SimCity Launch Disaster · · Score: 1

    ESPN NFL 2K5

  19. Considering the administration's attacks on whistleblowers, irony abounds.

  20. Re:Come On! on Apple's iWatch Could Come With IOS, Earn $6 Billion a Year · · Score: 1

    And we're going to put stock in his thoughts?

    It's all about increasing his shares...

  21. Re:A couple observations on Sergey Brin Says Using a Smartphone Is 'Emasculating' · · Score: 1

    No, what makes his "lament of the non-interaction between people" ironic is that if you have a problem with a Google product, you don't really get to talk to a person to help you, you have to fill out a form to get a canned response. At least that's been my experience.

  22. Re:"Because CDs aren't digital." on Music Industry Sees First Revenue Increase Since 1999 · · Score: 2

    For once, that's not incompetence on the part of Slashdot's editors. I think it's actual sarcasm.

  23. Re:Sounds like early automobile touring on CNN Replicates John Broder's Drive In the Tesla Model S · · Score: 2
  24. Re:Really? on Dung Beetles Navigate By the Milky Way; Pigeons Tune In To Magnetism · · Score: 1

    That's nothing. My friend's working on an adaptation of a translation of a synopsis of a logline of an excerpt of a summary of an adaptation of my other friend's cousin's translation of his great aunt's rewrite of her sister's letters to her first boyfriend, which letters were written in shorthand. I look forward to reading an excerpt of a synopsis of the abstract of the first academic paper my old professor has said he'll write about it.

  25. Re:Version 25? on Google Chrome 25 Will Disable Silent Extension Installation · · Score: 1

    I agree. They should adopt Android's naming scheme for Chrome. If they had to come up with a stupid moniker for a release every two months, I think they'd at least consider slowing their cycle.
