  1. This thing on Camera Gun Would Let Hunters Get Killer Wildlife Shots · · Score: 2

    Needs to be painted bright, NERF yellow and orange to have at least a chance of not getting shot at by a trigger happy cop. Why does it even need a barrel if it's not shooting a bullet? I can understand the stock, trigger and scope part.

  2. Re:If I were to find one... on 'Honey Stick' Project Tracks Fate of Lost Smartphones · · Score: 1

    My nephew found a nice camera once and thought that it would be impossible to find the owner. We then went to look at the pictures in the camera. Many pictures of dogs, some family, friends and then one picture of a lady standing next to her pet grooming van. We found the place on the internet, talked with a person there that knew the lady (the owner) and he gave her my number. Soon after she called and was so happy. When she arrived at my house she handed my nephew a nice crisp $20.00 bill.

  3. Re:The big boogeyman: the Terrorist! on FBI Warns Congress of Terrorist Hacking · · Score: 2

    You don't really expect us to believe that they pay $400 for a hammer or $2500 for a toilet seat do you?

  4. Re:more laws on Smartphones More Dangerous Than Alcohol, When Driving · · Score: 1

    Over 10 years doing internet tech support and having to multitask talking, looking at the computer etc... and I still won't talk/text and drive even though I can do it with ease.

  5. Re:Of course it won't hit us on Asteroid Will Make Close Pass To Earth · · Score: 1

    There have been around 514 leap years since it was created around 45 BC. Without the extra days every 4 years and all the adjustments that needed to be done to figure out leap years in the early days plus the Gregorian reform, today would be somewhere in the realm of July or August of 2013. So the 2012 thing should have happened several months ago.

    There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns; the ones we don't know we don't know. - Donald Rumsfeld (Maybe meteors are what he was talking about? :)

  7. Re:Captain Obvious says on Rearview Car Cameras Likely Mandated By 2014 · · Score: 1

    Possibly the best quote of the day!

    Vegan and Vegetarian are old Indian words meaning "Bad Hunter"

  10. Re:Nice! on Unconstitutional Video Game Law Costs California $2 Million · · Score: 1

    Have you actually looked at the people that are in office? They are super rich already and they only want more.

  11. Wearable HUD on Google Heads Up Display Coming By the End of the Year · · Score: 1

    Nothing says "Kick My Ass!" like a wearable HUD..

  12. Re:In other news... on SSD Latency, Error Rates May Spell Bleak Future · · Score: 1

    Hopefully I'll have my hoverboard by then.

  13. Re:Really? on Ask Slashdot: Tech Manufacturers With Better Labor Practices? · · Score: 1

    For a lot of people that guy's name is either Jose, Juan, Carlos, Emilio, Ewardo... etc....

  14. Re:Detroit? REIT! on Venture Capital in Detroit, Among Other Places (Video) · · Score: 2

    How about 601 feet?

  15. Re:I guess it's time to say "I told you so"? on TomTom Satnavs To Set Insurance Prices · · Score: 1

    I have informed you thusly.

  16. Re:Many versus Awesome on India Turns Down American Fighter Jets, Buys From France · · Score: 1

    An interesting note about tanks during WWII, German tanks were very sophisticated and required a dedicated, trained tank repair tech whereas the American tanks were basic enough for most American farm boys to be able to do most repairs themselves. From what I was told from WWII vets, the Germans thought all the American tank crews were trained repair techs.

  17. Re:*Stomps foot* on RIAA Wants To Scrap Anti-Piracy OPEN Act · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not just apes but "Damn Dirty Apes!!"

  18. Re:Sounds completely logical on Oklahoma Politician Wants To Tax Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    I used to have bullies that would pick on me every day after school, then one day I met them with a very big stick... I was bullied no more. They were much more pleasant to me after that.

  19. Re:Meanwhile... on The Hi-Tech Security at the Super Bowl · · Score: 1

    Not to sound too much like a tin foil mad hatter , but I wouldn't doubt the staging of an "unsuccessful terrorist attack" just to show how "effective" their security was so morale about "security" can be boosted.

    Just my 2 cents worth of tinfoil.

  20. Re:Priorities on The Gang Behind the World's Largest Spam Botnet · · Score: 1

    The reason something like this doesn't get shut down is because companies spend money to get rid of the problem, money spent is taxable, more money spent, more taxes paid.... then the next version of spam/virus/malware/etc... more money spent, more taxes paid... rinse and repeat.

  21. Re:Do Not Want on UCLA Professor Says Conventional Wisdom on Study Habits Is All Washed Up · · Score: 1

    And students with multiple classes in a day really have time to take notes after class? Hell they may only have 5 or 10 minutes to run across campus just to get to their other class. This method sure as hell wouldn't help a jr. high or high school student.

  22. Admit it... on NASA Releases New High-Definition Image of Earth · · Score: 5, Funny

    How many of you had the urge to zoom in with your mouse wheel?

  23. Re:not to mention getting run over by SUVs on MIT Media Lab Rolls Out Folding Car · · Score: 1

    Every year when we get snow and ice, I laugh at how many SUVs are stuck on the side of the road or in the middle of the road when I drive by in my 1998, fully paid for Ford Windstar. Damn good on ice/snow, rarely have I got myself in a jam where I couldn't get out of.

  24. Re:Not new - Telephone company did this on A Data Center That Looks Like a Mansion · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Windstream in Lincoln, Nebraska. LT&T an old portion of Windstream used to put their central offices in a house in the area so it wouldn't detract from the surrounding look of the area.

  25. Re:The entire credit history thing is stupid on Banks Using Mobile Phone Usage To Gauge Credit Risk · · Score: 1

    Here's a tip, get the hell out of NYC. I live in the midwest and live in a duplex with 3 bedroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom, hall and full basement, car port, shed and big front and back yards. Rent=$535.00/month and it's not a shit hole. In NYC you'd be lucky to get a standing room only stall to live in for $535.00/month
