  1. Re:Plans to 3D print a selfie stick? on Major Museums Start Banning Selfie Sticks · · Score: 1

    They are easy enough to make yourself, but if you want a selfie stick at all, you really want one with Bluetooth so that you can take a picture without using a timer.

  2. Re:Sure about the Louvre? on Major Museums Start Banning Selfie Sticks · · Score: 2

    IIRC, non-flash photography is allowed at Lourve, but no photo's at all at d'Orsay, for example. Probably a copyright issue.

  3. Freudian read on Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 Will Be Rolling-Release · · Score: 1

    I saw Linux Debian, but all my mind read was Lesbian...

  4. Re:Grammar on Your Old CD Collection Is Dying · · Score: 1

    Please proof read proof read!

    "you may have noticed that many of them won't play won't play."

    Oh, I thought that was just Eddie The Echo

  5. Re:Hmmm... on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    Bet you most people here have no idea what you meant.

  6. Re:Nice effort, but sets a bad precedent on Security Community Raises $12k For Researcher Snubbed By Facebook · · Score: 1

    The problem is, by third parties paying him, it sets a precedent for rewarding Facebook's bad behavior.

    Nah. Now everybody knows that instead of getting $500 from Facebook telling them about their bugs, they can get $12k from the community by just hacking them directly.

  7. Re:Robbing Peter to Pay Paul on NSA Data Center the Focus of Tax Controversy · · Score: 4, Funny

    Robbing Peter to Pay Paul

    yikes! What about poor Mary? She gets nothing?

  8. Re:So let's see... on NASA Discovers Third Radiation Belt Circling Earth · · Score: 1

    We've got the Van Allen belt... what are the other two, Van Morrison and Van Johnson?

    Let's hope it stays at three so we don't get a Van Damme belt as well.

  9. Python 3000

  10. Re:"JUST" 12 light years? LOL. on Possible Habitable Planet Just 12 Light Years Away · · Score: 5, Funny

    Could you get more by slingshotting around the sun?

    Yeah, but you'll end up in San Francisco in 1986 so it won't do you any good.

  11. Re:Caffine on Do Recreational Drugs Help Programmers? · · Score: 5, Funny

    was anybody talking to you, faggot? if you value your health, you better shut the fuck up too.

    Dude, decaf.

  12. Fucking magnets. on Buckyballs Throws In the Towel · · Score: 1

    How do they work?

  13. Re:Archer on All Five Star Trek Captains Share a Stage · · Score: 1

    Neelix is the Jar Jar Binks of Star Trek.

    Now where's that "+1 so true" mod when you need it?

  14. Re:Once again on Stem Cell Treatment Found Effective For Rare Brain Disorder · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And the government should never take money from people to pay for something they're religiously opposed to.

    NOTE: I'm not arguing with parent, I'm saying that both his statement and mine are how it should be.

    So no tax can fund school where girls attend for a Taliban?

  15. Re:2005 on MIT Research Amplifies Invisible Detail In Video · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I actually saw this presentation at Siggraph back in '05 and it was really cool. When I saw this one I was wondering if they came up with something new, but it looks like exactly the same thing.

  16. Sure. on Missing Matter, Parallel Universes? · · Score: 4, Funny

    We read all this stuff trying to understand anything and all, and then the next paper they release will just say "Bazinga!"

  17. The Hackers Diet on Book Review: Fitness For Geeks · · Score: 2

    Another classic along the same line is "The Hackers Diet". It's more about dieting and motivation than exercise, but well written and often funny (at least I thought so in the early 90's when I read it) http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/www/hackdiet.html

  18. Re:Tandy Computer Whiz Kids on Ask Slashdot: Which Comic Books To Start My 3-Year-Old With? · · Score: 1

    Good list indeed, but probably not for another four/five years or so. Three is very young for all that. Every kid is different, but my four year old is definitely not ready for that. My six year old, however, is starting to show interest. Early stuff like the first tintin's were written for a different world and could be better suited for an age when you can explain a thing or two in some context to your child.

  19. Re:Paramount's definition of "Monetize" on Paramount Claims Louis CK "Didn't Monetize" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I suppose Monetize means using "Hollywood accounting" to pretend no money was made from enormous profits.
    No question Louis CK made good money of it (rightfully so), and I really hope others that use the same methods will as well.
    Jim Gaffigans recent Mr. Universe, for example (and yes - get it and see it - best ever)

  20. Re:Barney is fucked! on NYC Bans Mention of Dinosaurs, Dancing, Birthdays On Student Tests · · Score: 5, Funny

    What's 'independant' thought?

    I think it's slang for a thought locked inside a necklace.

  21. Doesn't this happen all the time? on Avast Drops iYogi Support Over Pushy Scare Tactics · · Score: 5, Funny

    Or "It's like deja-vu, all over again. " as iYogi Berra would have said...

  22. Fucking magnets. on Raspberry Pi Production Delayed By Factory's Assembly Flub · · Score: 5, Funny

    How do they work?

  23. Re:What shocks me on Louis CK's Internet Experiment Pays Off · · Score: 2

    He filmed and produced the show with money out of his own pocket, that's $170k. The website setup cost was something like $30k. Then he had to pay tax on the gain. That adds up to about $300k leaving $200k in profit.

  24. Re:Trying to do too much on Firefox Too Big To Link On 32-bit Windows · · Score: 1

    In truth, Firefox is a great browser, but the operating system it includes around it is crap.

    Too young to remember emacs perhaps? Kids these days. Now get off my lawn.

  25. Re:First self-driving crash - who to blame, or sue on Toyota To Let People Ride In Self-Driving Prius · · Score: 1

    Lawsuits and class-action suits are mainly problems here in the US. The rest of the world is different.
