  1. Blame it on Rocky on The Book That Is Making All Movies the Same · · Score: 1

    Every fight scene ever: Protagonist beaten within an inch of his life only to suddenly find enough energy to rise up and defeat arch-enemy. Only after defeating villain does he discover fractured skull/pelvis, punctured lungs, ruptured spleen, missing testicle and multiple bruises on brain. Somehow still has enough energy to drag self to leading lady and collapse at her feet.

    Hollywood needs a reboot. Only a few movies come out every decade which are worth $15 bucks to see.

  2. Re:Surprise surprise.. on Texas School District Drops Embattled RFID Student IDs; Opts For Cameras · · Score: 1

    never let their members be spanked.

    Never know. Might be the reason they suddenly opted for the cameras.

  3. Re:They had these during the Cold War, slow news d on Interactive Nukemap Now In 3D · · Score: 1

    Now Russians and Chinese are our business partners.

    Hardly. The Chinese and Russians *tolerate* the US only to the extent that money makes it necessary. When money becomes a problem, things get ugly. Especially if it means the demise of your civilization. Then, leaders tend to get desperate. Case in point, DPRK however you've probably forgotten already.

  4. (former) Dr. Andrew Wakefield just as guilty on Fifteen Years After Autism Panic, a Plague of Measles Erupts · · Score: 2

    "Wakefield has been unable to reproduce his results in the face of criticism, and other researchers have been unable to match them. Most of his co-authors withdrew their names from the study in 2004 after learning he had had been paid by a law firm that intended to sue vaccine manufacturers -- a serious conflict of interest he failed to disclose.

  5. Re:Learn OpenCL on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Most Painless Intro To GPU Programming? · · Score: 0

    don't even think about VBing it. Or Pythoning it.

    Awwwwww yisssssss... mothoafokin Assembly!

  6. Re:Started out impressive on Small Town Builds Its Own Gigabyte Network; Cost To Citizens $57/month · · Score: 1

    The summary is right, but the subject (gigabyte vs gigabit) is wrong.

    Perhaps they are using a Linux box with a Gigabyte motherboard as a firewall.

  7. Re:Not really... on Yahoo Censors Tumblr Porn · · Score: 5, Insightful

    point is that they're not allowing spiders to crawl

    No, that's tangential. The point is people have made different types of information publicly available, using a private service, and now that information is being effectively taken offline with no recourse. The content is content tagged as "NSFW" or "Adult" which could affect educational content, or content not approrpriate for minors -- which isn't always porn.

    This is really falls into the broader category of censoring information which was previously publicly available. FTFA that's about 12 million sites apparently

  8. Douchbag Tech firms on Tech Firms Planning Highly Irate Letter To Government Requesting Transparency · · Score: 1

    Surreptitiously shares user data for feds.
    Only throws a fit about it after being caught.

    As far as I'm concerned they are all in bed together and equally guilty of circumventing the law.

  9. How about something more useful on ICANN Approves First Set of New gTLDs · · Score: 1

    Every domain under NSA surveillance should be required by law to register under the .nsa domain.

  10. Re:+5 Insightful for on Jimmy Carter Calls Snowden Leak Ultimately "Beneficial" · · Score: 1

    Carter for Preside-- aw crap.

  11. It had a birthday recently on IQ Test Pegs ConceptNet 4 AI About As Smart As a 4-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    The link seems to point to ConceptNet 5 now.
    If they re-run their IQ test, I think they will gleefully find it is now as smart as a 5yr old.

  12. It's stealing, basically on Blackberry 10 Sends Full Email Account Credentials To RIM · · Score: 1

    I hope stuff like this, along with the Snowden Files, proceed to destroy the 'Cloud' paradigm. It was a diseased model to begin with and is proving to be nothing more than a Tap for domestic and international spying.

    People deserve privacy, especially in email, and stealing their account credentials ought to be basis enough for a Watergate style investigation. You know full well if some 17 year old did this exact same thing to some politician or movie star, his ass would be roadkill in the court system inside a month. The double standard legal system in some places is just freaking wrong.

  13. Re:Open source it. on BitTorrent Sync Beta Released · · Score: 1

    I tend to have a bit more trust in BitTorrent

    No, actually you simply have a preference. There is no way to verify the trust of Bit Torrent Sync by simply looking at the six sides of a locked box.

  14. Simple fix to the problem on MS Tackles CS Education Crisis With Popularity Contest · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Fix the imbalance with minimum wage H1B visas and US unemployment rate. Also, stop offshoring your entire freaking business.

  15. Open source music store on Radiohead's Thom Yorke Pulls Albums From Spotify In Protest of Low Royalties · · Score: 1

    Is there not an online place where artists can just produce and sell music without the MAFIAA being involved? If so, why are not more musicians using it?

  16. Which head was wet on Spacewalk Aborted When Water Fills Astronaut's Helmet · · Score: 1, Funny

    Just sayin... could explain the whole problem.

  17. Great ways to keep from being bitten - BOFH on Why Are Some People Mosquito Magnets? · · Score: 4, Funny

    * Rub yourself down with Olive oil. Extra virgin in particular. Oh, don't stand too close to the bonfire.

    * DEET. Soak your cigar in it. The combination of second hand smoke and smell of chemical burns is a bit too much for them.

    * Cover all exposed areas. A scarf works great for the neck and stocking cap for the head. I find an additional two layers of sweatpants and sweatshirts keeps the buggers from reaching you. Oh, three pair of socks and rain boots for the feet.

    * Pig manure. It may sound crazy, but it works. Stop by your local pig farm on the way to your outdoor event and have a quick roll in the barnyard. Be sure to cover everything. After an hour or so, the manure dries to a hard crust which will protect you from being bitten for the rest of the day. Be sure to cover your face or they'll go for that in frustration.

  18. Just fork it on Citing Snowden Leaks, Russia Again Demands UN Takeover of Internet · · Score: 1

    The interenets is based on open source so just download, make, make install. Problem solved. It's not like your trying to build a soyuz capsule or somethin, sheesh *rolls eyes*.

  19. Knoppix on Ask Slashdot: Light-Footprint Antivirus For Windows XP? · · Score: 1
  20. Re:Linus management technique works on Kernel Dev Tells Linus Torvalds To Stop Using Abusive Language · · Score: 1

    Or is it fun just to dig that knife in deeper?

    Whoa.. Jobs was murdered? How do you know this?

  21. Apple/Samsung Dialog on Apple Renews Contract With Samsung Over A-Series Processors · · Score: 4, Funny

    Apple: Rounded corners, square design! You loose sucka! Pay!
    Samsung: *m-ok* here, have $450M.
    Apple: Muahahaha!! *twirling mustache*

                (1 year later in Apple board room....)

    Engineer: It's a new design. More cores, cache and video on die.
    Exec: Great! Send those plans to TI!
    Engineer: Uh... it's not something they can do
    Exec: But we are investing in America! Get TI on the phone!
    TI: The design is outside the capabilities of our manufacturing limits.
    Exec: *m-ok* get Samsung on the phone...

    Samsung: Muahahahaha! *twirling mustache*

  22. Applying the knee-jerk logic... on Apple Sued For Man's Porn Addiction · · Score: 1

    Guns enable murder, so ban guns

    Let's apply the same logic to:
        Water enables drowning, so ban water
        Cars enable homicide, so ban cars
        Apple enables porn, so ban Apple

    Yep. Seems like the correct logic for progress as a species.

  23. My guarantee on Former Sun Mobile JIT Engineers Take On Mobile JavaScript/HTML Performance · · Score: 2

    I guarantee Javascript will perform much better once we get to 16 cores and 3.6Ghz on the standard mobile device.
