  1. Re:Disappointed on 1st Video of Moon's Far Side · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's no space station. It's a moon!

  2. Re:Reptilian Shape Shifter on Mitt Romney, Robotics, and the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 1

    Wait until you put the sunglasses on...

  3. Kill Used Games? Say Hello to Piracy on Xbox 720 Might Reject Used Games · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If the secondary market becomes impossible, piracy will spring up to take its place, if anything else to increase availability of hard to find titles.

  4. Well now on UK Police Test 'Temporarily Blinding' LASER · · Score: 1

    If you can't please people: blind them.

  5. Re:So does Canada. on Russia Set To Extend Life of Nuclear Reactors Past Engineered Life Span · · Score: 1

    I think they keep that mess limping along because it's one of the few plants still capable of producing isotopes for medical purposes?

    I could be wrong, but still pretty scary.

  6. Par for the Course Sadly on Russia Set To Extend Life of Nuclear Reactors Past Engineered Life Span · · Score: 1

    USA, Canada, Russia... so on and so on...

    Can we please build modern reactors? Y'know the kind that can actually use waste fuel so we can reduce the existing stockpile and are physically incapable of runaway reactions.

    In the long standing tradition of auto comparisons: you wouldn't feel safe in a 35+ year old car if you drove it every day for all those years would you?

  7. She's going to wake up anyway on Ask Slashdot: Best Tools To Aid When "On Call"? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Regardless of what method of notification likely you'll have to get up, which is going to wake her up.

    If it's a real problem get separate beds.

    I did this for about 3 years, and it's fine when you're single or sleeping in your own bed but when you're in a relationship and you share sleeping arrangements it's going to add some strain to your life (I solved it by finding other, better work).

  8. Re:Challenge for tablet makers on Asus Unveils Quad-Core Transformer Prime Tablet · · Score: 1

    Wacom makes a capacitive stylus for drawing on the iPad.

  9. Re:Yeah, that'll work great... on AT&T Pushes 'Connected' Clothing For Healthcare · · Score: 1

    I'm thinkin' that it will never be used for critical patients, but when you need to gather information about someone all day it'd be a lot more fun to wear a shirt or something than have to carry a machine or be tied to a network cable.

  10. Re:Taught? on Why Fingernails On a Chalkboard Sound Painful · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Dammit no. I remember being a child and hearing that sound and cringing then finding out AFTER that I wasn't alone.

    Some things just plain old suck (like fingernails on a chalkboard and communism).

  11. Gonna Fly Now on Boston Dynamics' PETMAN Humanoid On Video · · Score: 2

    Am I the only one who heard the Rocky theme song in my head while I watched it?

    If the robot starts punching meat we know we got a contenda

    (until then, you're a bum PETMAN! A BUM!)

  12. Appropriate Quote on TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers · · Score: 2

    "Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form."
    ~Harry Tuttle, Brazil

  13. In The Not Too Distant Future... on Ask Slashdot: How Are You Haunting Your House This Hallowe'en? · · Score: 2

    MST3K marathon!

  14. Re:Real scifi isn't about predicting the future on SF Authors Predict Computing's Future · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Real Sci-Fi is about asking "what if", period.

  15. Coming to Edmonton on William Shatner Answers, in 826 Words · · Score: 1

    Shatner will be in Edmonton on October 23rd at the Shaw Conference Centre.

    I know I'll be there

  16. Re:and then comes the fun part on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 1

    ...or the 1812 Overture...

  17. Yes, yes they can on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 2

    Given a sufficient quantity dropped on you or were fired at you at extreme velocity.

    Sadly the chili pepper gun is a long way from becoming useful enough for pithy action movie hero comments "What's th' matter? Heartburn?"

  18. Lync on Microsoft Finalizes Skype Acquisition · · Score: 1

    Where I work Lync has supplanted Skype for the most part, I fully expect one to absorb the features of the other (can you guess which?)

  19. Re:Eternally marked until forgiven by God--ie neve on FBI Leaves Cleared Names On Terrorist Watch List · · Score: 1

    And even then, we'll update the bad guy list you're on... later... after coffee

  20. Re:If you care so much about being tracked... on Facebook Fixes Post Log-Out Cookie Behavior · · Score: 1

    Or Facebook at all for that matter, the sole purpose of the site is to share information about yourself so that people can track you.

  21. Re:Something the academic forgot on Designer Creates "Euthanasia Roller Coaster" · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's funny not a single person who rode it had any complaints after the experience.

  22. Operator Error? on Designer Creates "Euthanasia Roller Coaster" · · Score: 4, Funny

    So if a Carnie screws up, do people survive?

  23. Re:So what does this do different? on Google To Introduce New Programming Language — Dart · · Score: 1

    I recall reading that developers at Google are allowed to allocate something like 20% of their time to side projects, regardless of whether or not it's "useful" (because really you can't always predict when some widget, technique or acquired knowledge will come in handy.)

    Dart may not be for anyone outside of Google (or inside for that matter), but it's there if and when you need it to do something. *shrug*

  24. Re:iPhone "Policeman" Photo on Did Apple Impersonate Police To Recover the Lost iPhone 5? · · Score: 1

    "Are you the Police?"
    "No ma'am, we're musicians"

  25. iPhone "Policeman" Photo on Did Apple Impersonate Police To Recover the Lost iPhone 5? · · Score: 1
