  1. Re: TI calculators are not outdated, just overpric on How the Outdated TI-84 Plus Still Holds a Monopoly On Classrooms · · Score: 1

    Which is why all three of those don't reflect real life.

  2. Re:where do i sign up? on New Usage-Based Insurance Software Can Track Drivers Using Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Then why haven't you been given a discount already?

  3. The hammer. on Ask Slashdot: What Old Technology Can't You Give Up? · · Score: 1

    The hammer. Nothing more. That's it.

  4. No more monkey deaths. on Anti-Ebola Drug ZMapp Makes Clean Sweep: 18 of 18 Monkeys Survive Infection · · Score: 1

    Finally the monkeys are safe. Praise be.

  5. Run for your lives... on Islamic State "Laptop of Doom" Hints At Plots Including Bubonic Plague · · Score: 2

    In other words he downloaded a bunch of shit from the Internet. Oh the horror....

  6. Re:9 to 5 is a myth on The American Workday, By Profession · · Score: 1

    Actually Step 2 should be work for a company which doesn't treat it's employees as enemies. The problem is that's not so easy.

  7. Amazing the TSA doesn't have 100 of these in every airport.

  8. Re:Executive Orders Need to Expire, and Quickly on The Executive Order That Led To Mass Spying, As Told By NSA Alumni · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually executive orders are orders that excercise lawful powers given to the President by Congress. The problem is that there are always lawyers making up their own interpretation of a vague law passed by Congress. C'est La Vie.

  9. Re:Science is a religion, so this makes no sense on Canada Tops List of Most Science-Literate Countries · · Score: 1

    But there is -1 overrated which covers pretty much anything the modder wishes. Tough cookies.

  10. Re:I like... on U.S. Senator: All Cops Should Wear Cameras · · Score: 1

    The general population already has them at their own expense. How about just junk the guns and buy them cameras. The final outcome would be much better for all parties.

  11. Re:Shenanigans on Every Day Is Goof-Off-At-Work Day At the US Patent and Trademark Office · · Score: 1

    No examiner would use the word "queue" either.

  12. Re:good god on Point-and-Shoot: TrackingPoint's New Linux-Controlled AR-15s · · Score: 1

    Most Tactical AR15... EVER! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

  13. Re: Translated into English on Floridian (and Southern) Governmental Regulations Are Unfriendly To Solar Power · · Score: 1

    Government-created incumbent monopolies seem to be playing their part as well.

    Sadly, it's known as... socialism! Sorry sunny red state.

  14. Re:Er, that's a bit confusing on The Problems With Drug Testing · · Score: 1

    , do we want to rely on results that are likely skewed because the test subjects were also taking heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine?

    Are they testing on Wall Street traders now?

  15. Once again... on Ask Slashdot: Where Can I Find Resources On Programming For Palm OS 5? · · Score: 1

    Lots of advice instead of actually answering his question.

  16. Re:Wow ... on A 24-Year-Old Scammed Apple 42 Times In 16 Different States · · Score: 1

    The few times I've been asked for ID when using a credit card (oddly only in the Las Vegas are), the clerk merely checks that the names match. Most of them do not even look at the picture. It's not really any security at all.

  17. Good lord... on The Misleading Fliers Comcast Used To Kill Off a Local Internet Competitor · · Score: 1

    If you believe double sided postcards from unknown people that are put in your mailbox, you are a fool and you reap the benefits. Been that way since postcards were invented.

  18. Re:The scammer's dream. on US States Edge Toward Cryptocoin Regulation · · Score: 1

    The biggest scam magnet ever is Wall Street and the stock market. Bitcoin is not even a few coins in the fountain. Why does one get so much more attention than the other?

    Err, I means Secrect Service.

  20. Re:Can we just recognize it as currency and be don on US States Edge Toward Cryptocoin Regulation · · Score: 1

    The IRS doesn't regulate currency. The Treasury does.

  21. Re:Not too surprising... on Soccer Superstar Plays With Very Low Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    On realy injury, 500 fake ones. Still not a lot of brain power involved.

  22. Re:How to regulate something that is unregulateabl on US States Edge Toward Cryptocoin Regulation · · Score: 1

    No states are "making" anything at all. Not really applicable.

  23. Re:1 or 1 million on Verizon Now Throttling Top 'Unlimited' Subscribers On 4G LTE · · Score: 1

    It's not unlimited bandwidth, it's unlimited data.

  24. Not too surprising... on Soccer Superstar Plays With Very Low Brain Activity · · Score: 2, Funny

    Doesn't take a lot of brain power to fake an ankle injury

  25. Re:Transparency on FBI Studied How Much Drones Impact Your Privacy -- Then Marked It Secret · · Score: 1

    I voted for him the first time but decided to go green party the second time for realizing that he pretty much changed nothing from Bush.
