  1. Re:I'm seventeen. on Pumpkin Pie increases Male Sex Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Being seventeen makes you want to have sex.

  2. Re:Make like a Tree and Leave on Trash-To-Gas Power Plant Gets Greenlight · · Score: 1

    Possibly they get composted.

  3. Re:Big on The Beatles On iTunes · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Lots of albums here, digital and offered online. http://www.amazon.com/The-Beatles/e/B000APTK6K/works/ref=ntt_mus_teaser

  4. Re:Big on The Beatles On iTunes · · Score: 1

    You've been able to buy the digital music online for a long time.

  5. Pick on Which Language To Learn? · · Score: 1

    Try learning and getting experience in any of the Pick based systems - the age of the average programmer is getting close to retirement age, so there's increasing demand.

  6. Re:Chinese on Which Language To Learn? · · Score: 1

    Latin America Spanish would probably be more useful in the short term.

  7. Re:Hang on.. on Burglary Ring Used Facebook Places To Find Targets · · Score: 3, Funny

    A friend and I went to a fancy dress party - I was dressed as a firework, my friend as a battery. On the way we were stopped by the police - they let me off, but my friend was charged.

  8. Seattle is pretty much zombie central on Microsoft Holds iPhone Funeral Event · · Score: 1

    http://www.seattlezombies.com/ is a good place to start.

  9. Re:Stiffy In A Jiffy on Rustock Botnet Responsible For 40% of Spam · · Score: 1

    There's an Australian condom company called Jiffy - one of their best slogans was "Real men come in a Jiffy".

  10. Re:The danger of too many password requirements on 75% Use Same Password For Social Media & Email · · Score: 1

    For a brief while I worked at a company which had similar rules, but also the IT staff chose the passwords each month and sent them the day before they'd become active to the rest of the company.

  11. Re:Impressive? Sure, but it's a rip-off... on Boy Builds Wall-Climbing Machine Using Recycled Vacuums · · Score: 2, Informative

    Two different styles of programme - one is real science, the other is being surprised that things in movies don't work without special effects.

  12. Re:Impressive? Sure, but it's a rip-off... on Boy Builds Wall-Climbing Machine Using Recycled Vacuums · · Score: 1

    The Gadget Show also did it.

  13. Re:This... on California Wants To Put E-Ads On License Plates · · Score: 1

    If you want to allow advertising on your forehead, there's possibly someone who will buy the space. The problem comes when someone wants to put advertising there without your consent.

  14. Re:My Personal War: on USPTO Won't Accept Upside Down Faxes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Damn - I've been sneaking in and rotating the fax machines upside down.

  15. Re:Changing language on Students Failing Because of Poor Grammar · · Score: 1

    "Or apostrophes become redundant when meaning is clear without them?" That's the whole point of this discussion - the meaning isn't clear in many cases.

  16. Re:No flash support on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 4, Funny

    And if it had wheels you could drive it around. It's not replacing notebooks, it's something different.

  17. Re:old news on Comcast Launches Broadband Meter · · Score: 1

    The cap is old news, the long awaited monitoring tool is the real news.

  18. Re:250 what? on Comcast Launches Broadband Meter · · Score: 1

    Comcast being evil is a given, but they claim they're measuring in base 2.

  19. 9:34 and still not in Washington on Comcast Launches Broadband Meter · · Score: 1

    Finally it's available, Slashdot says it is. Oh, wait, Comcast says it isn't.

  20. Re:Wow on Jobs Finally "Happy" With Unannounced Apple Tablet · · Score: 1

    A secure PC in every room make more sense than a portable device - the only doctors rushing about aren't the ones who would be looking at medical charts.

  21. Re:Jobs is happy with it? on Jobs Finally "Happy" With Unannounced Apple Tablet · · Score: 1

    So an iPod Touch with a bigger screen?

  22. Is SF REALLY stuffed full of examples? on What Drugs Do Astronauts Take? · · Score: 1

    I can't think of that many, not enough to back up this claim.

  23. As someone diagnosed with colon cancer on Cancer Vaccine That Mimics Lymph Node · · Score: 1

    Can I urge you to go for a colonoscopy when recommended. Too many people put it off because they're embarrassed or think it will be painful - believe me, surgery and chemo are far worse.

  24. Re:8.5 millimeters .. on Cancer Vaccine That Mimics Lymph Node · · Score: 1

    Baldness depends on many faftors, often people undergoing chemo just have thinning hair. The real distinguishing mark is the chemo pump whirring away at their side.

  25. A rare case - you can listen to the FA on How 136 People Became 7 Million Illegal File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    The More Or Less home page is http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qshd, and it links to the current and previous programmes.
