  1. Sure there's a place for this on Ask Slashdot: Resolving the Clash Between Art and Technology In Music? · · Score: 1

    The margin, it's called.

  2. Re:want to make things safe on Nominet Compromising UK WHOIS Privacy, Wants To See Gov't-Issued ID · · Score: 1

    In that case, my advice: bring Tony Blair to trial.

  3. Re:Hah! on Appeals Court Finds Scanning To Be Fair Use · · Score: 2

    You must be using one of the overrated Adobe products.
    Abbyy Finereader!

  4. The Moon and Deep Space on NASA Forming $3M Satellite Communication, Propulsion Competition · · Score: 1

    Article states: "amateur radio wavelengths not suitable for advanced science missions in the remote distances of deep space,",
    and: " these challenges are expected to contribute to opening deep space exploration to non-government spacecraft for the first
    time, NASA stated."


    Is the universe crunching already?; since when is the moon 'deep space'?

  5. Re:Anybody please! on Firefox 30 Available, Firebug 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Trying it out now. Looks good.
    Thanks for the tip, brother.

  6. Re:Good on Theater Chain Bans Google Glass · · Score: 1

    Who'd have thought that, between Google and theater chains, my
    mind's with the former.

    What do these Alamo airheads think -- we'll soon be inundated
    with Glass pirated copies of the blockbusters on TPB?

    This is about power, not piracy.

  7. Anybody please! on Firefox 30 Available, Firebug 2.0 Released · · Score: 2

    Tell me how to place the fucking tabs below the URL box.
    Bless Firefox, and forsake them for hyped redesigns like these.

  8. NoFi.

  9. Weasel words on Moon Swirls May Inspire Revolution In the Science of Deflector Shields · · Score: 1

    "And who knows what other tricks ..."

  10. LMC on Star Within a Star: Thorne-Zytkow Object Discovered · · Score: 1

    Happens to be outside our galaxy.
    Just saying.

  11. Zork One on Testing 65 Different GPUs On Linux With Open Source Drivers · · Score: 2

    It's the best game ever. The GPU can handle it -- believe me.

  12. I'd love to have such datasets on Protecting Our Brains From Datamining · · Score: 2

    ... for all those that are placed above us to lead us,
    and of all those that suck up to same.

  13. Sun Type 5c Keyboard on After the Sun (Microsystems) Sets, the Real Stories Come Out · · Score: 2

    Unsurpassed.
    I still use it, hooked up to a self made PS2 adapter, to my Intel box running Linux.
    Why?
    It has keybeep!
    I know it's a security issue.
    But what the heck.
    I need the audible feedback.

  14. Intellligence on Hunt Intensifies For Aliens On Kepler's Planets · · Score: 2

    If the Extraterrestrials have some, intelligence that is, they'd go through great pains to leave us rot.

  15. Andromeda Rules on The Andromeda Galaxy Just Had a Bright Gamma Ray Event · · Score: 1

    It was the Andromedans flashing a mirror aimed at us right back in our direction.
    If we examine closely, we might see what our oldest African ancestors really
    looked like, how they struggled to get by on their hind legs, and how they had no
    inkling of a concept of space and time and constellations and galaxies named
    Andromeda.

  16. Re:Even more amazing on The Rule of Three Proved By Physicists · · Score: 0

    No.
    Pi is the volume of the box around the quarter pizza I just ate.

  17. Re:Mestatacized business. Nothing but growth. on Author Charles Stross: Is Amazon a Malignant Monopoly, Or Just Plain Evil? · · Score: 2

    Metastasized.
    Fixed that for 'ya.

    Other than that -- Amazon, they sell MTB tires, I discovered today,
    by way of a Google link.
    Still trying to figure out why that gave me an uneasy feeling.

    I may in fact concur.

  18. Rootkit Sony on Hands-On With Sony's VR Headset · · Score: 1

    [ten foot pole out of reach]
    Is this from the All-your-tronic-are-belong-to-us Rootkit-first-adopters Sony?

  19. Fuel Economy =/= Less Fuel Consumption on New Semiconductor Could Improve Vehicle Fuel Economy By 10 Percent · · Score: 1

    Jevons’ paradox.

  20. Re:Does not matter on The World's Worst Planes: Aircraft Designs That Failed · · Score: 1

    This is on the verge of being a rhetorical tautology.

  21. the chronology switcheroo on Why Lavabit Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Some people change labels CAUSE and EFFECT
    as easily as they change store price labels.

  22. Analogy Schmanalogy on OpenStack: the Open Source Cloud That Vendors Love and Users Are Ignoring · · Score: 1

    Linux got adopted in the enterprise because it already had an existence elsewhere, bourne
    out of frustration of failing proprietary software, lock in, closed cultures, fuck-over-ism, etc.
    (MS are you listening?) The techies injected their own culture, knowledge and the need
    for Linux into the corporations organically (no doubt this amounted to a revolution).

    Cloud computing on the other hand is the answer to a non-exsitent problem. It's a coporate
    hype. Adopters are those that've got their heads not in the cloud, but up there where the
    sun don't shine.

  23. Re:Awesome on How the Emerging Science of Proteotronics Will Change Electronics · · Score: 1

    No. Just one or two new archival jobs at the USPTO.

  24. Re:Dinosaurs what were they on Biggest Dinosaur Yet Discovered · · Score: 1

    Funny that you mention Fred Flintstone.

    I was just thinking, 'bout an hour ago, about how Fred's 'car', to me, as a kid
    looked like (had the same shape as) the provice of Gelderland in Holland.
    I forget whether Fred's car was running to the left or to the right.

    So now I'm off to google & wikipedia, to do a comparative analysis of said
    province and aforementioned 'car', in order to finally put to rest a thought
    that's been a 'cognitive harmonic' to me for some 45 odd years.

  25. paleontologists: prepare for the long tail? on Biggest Dinosaur Yet Discovered · · Score: 1

    "(...) largest creature ever to walk the Earth have been unearthed (...)"

    If some words, manifestly "to this date" or something synonymous to them, are not
    missing here, then article's author should prepare to travel to Norway for imminent
    Nobel prize.
