  1. Re:I could be missing something on The Moon's Two Sides Look So Different Thanks To 4.5 Billion-Year-Old Physics (forbes.com) · · Score: 1

    Damn it! Missed someone else saying the exact same thing.... never mind

  2. Re:I could be missing something on The Moon's Two Sides Look So Different Thanks To 4.5 Billion-Year-Old Physics (forbes.com) · · Score: 1

    Sometimes I will ask them, please draw for me on a blackboard how you would work "20 times less than X" and laugh at them when they can't do it.

    You must be fun at parties

  3. The national debt has continued to increase an average of $2.25 billion per day since September 30, 2012. Losing a billion in a decade is practically frugal.

  4. We should inspire... on Another Drone Crashes Near White House (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Cool drone, Howard. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more people like you to like science. It's what makes America great.

  5. Fishing? on Mood-Altering Wearable Thync Releases First Brain Test Data · · Score: 1

    But is there any way that you could just sock me out so there's no way that I'll know I'm at work? Can I just come home and think I've been fishing all day or something?

  6. Re:Limited power to change working situation... on Regular Exercise Not Enough To Make Up For Sitting All Day · · Score: 1
    If you have some control over your cube... All I used was a shoe rack and desk mount stand: http://www.amazon.com/ClosetMa... and http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ...

    Others where I work went cheaper and just used two shoe racks.

  7. Re:Encouraging quality on How Amazon's Ebook Subscriptions Are Changing the Writing Industry · · Score: 1

    I got hooked on a fantasy series by somebody I'd never heard of because they made the first book available for $0. "Meh, for free, I'll give it a whirl!" After that I paid full price for the other 5 books.

    Just like the street corner drug dealer... Not Even Once!

  8. Re:Higher capacity for smaller roofs on Elon Musk's Solar City Is Ramping Up Solar Panel Production · · Score: 1

    You have indeed discovered the unvarnished truth, solar is not viable in terms of cost and this is unlikely to change anytime soon.

    Not true at all. The subsidies and tax write-offs and other benefits continue to pile up. Someone who is paying full retail for his panels is just someone who is too lazy to file the appropriate paperwork.

    Yes... because /no one/ pays for subsidies and tax write-offs. They're totally, magically, free!

  9. Re:New Jersey frosty on Cisco Spending Millions of Dollars Secretly Purchasing New Juniper Products · · Score: 1

    I saw it as "Jupiter" products and thought it was a rant on Buy (earth) American products first.

  10. Re:Linux and windows have vulnerabilities on New iOS Keylogging Vulnerability Discovered · · Score: 2

    apple software has "bugs".

    It's a glitch.

  11. 100% on Ask Slashdot: When Is a Better Career Opportunity Worth a Pay Cut? · · Score: 4, Funny
    100% you should absolutely take the new job. Run, don't walk.

    Side note... where do you work now? Like... specifically what's the address to send resumes?

  12. Re:dogs deficate not staring into the sun on Dogs Defecate In Alignment With Earth's Magnetic Field · · Score: 2

    The spinning around is exactly the same behavior they use to tamp down grass for a place to sleep.. I mean, do you really want blades of grass tickling your bum while you poop?

    Hmph... I pay extra for that.

  13. The two types are... on Mathematical Model of Zombie Epidemics Reveals Two Types of Living-Dead Strains · · Score: 1

    ... Duh... fast walkers and slow walkers. Geesh we've known this for ages!

  14. Re:30Km isn't space on Company To Balloon Tourists To the Edge of Space For $75,000 · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute! Suppose two swallows carried it together? Carrying it on a line?

  15. Re:What interested me on Most Cave Paintings Were Painted By Women, Says Penn State Researcher · · Score: 5, Funny

    To me that adds credence to the notion that society has removed a lot of the need for distinguishing between genders.

    I rather enjoy the distinguishing features between genders.

  16. Re:Awesome on German NSA Critic Denied Entry To the US · · Score: 1

    Though the US seems to be getting harsher and harsher about it.

    My diagnosis is that these are the desperate throes of a doomed regime.

    Odd... it may be eventually doomed but it currently seems to to be getting stronger and stronger.

  17. Re:Where's the led notification? on Apple Unveils iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's horribly problematic to alarm every minute when I want the alarm sound off! Meetings, presentations, movie theaters. I even silence it even at work in my cube. I love my droid multi-color and flash rate notification LED. Different colors for different types of notifications and a different flash rate for "important" people's SMS.

  18. Re:The urban poor subsidized the rich for a while on FCC Rural Phone Subsidies Reach As High As $3,000 Per Line · · Score: 1

    Wealthy people don't pay sales tax?

  19. Humans... on Got Malware? Get a Hammer! · · Score: 1

    I don't want to work in that office if they learn most system vulnerabilities are due to humans!

  20. Re:Open source equates to freedom. on The IRS vs. Open Source · · Score: 1

    The concern in this situation is NOT whether the IRS is scrutinizing or rubber-stamping /everyone/. It's my understanding that it was proven they are scrutinizing some groups with specific ideologies and rubber-stamping groups with the opposite ideology.

  21. Re:I just hate being wrong all the time on Tennessee Official: Water Complaints Could be "Act of Terrorism" · · Score: 1

    Eventually they will reach a singularity of stupid, from which no intelligence can escape.

    We reached that with George W. Bush. Now we're in a black hole of stupid.

    Good thing we elected President Change.

  22. Re:Probably? on India To Send World's Last Telegram · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    "More than 500 million people are still without access to a phone or Internet."

    How will they use the XBox One??!?

  23. Re:Whats the alternative? on ZDNet Proclaims "Windows: It's Over" · · Score: 2

    I'll start by saying that every UI model we have today sucks. Some sucks less, and some sucks more, but everything has some degree of sucking to it.

    Is it time to pull out the quote: The only "intuitive" interface is the nipple. After that it's all learned.

  24. Congested... on Google Bumps Up Search a Notch With Google Nose BETA · · Score: 1

    Damn it... they would come out with this the day I'm all congested and can't smell anything!

  25. Tapper? on Apple Yanks "Sweatshop Themed" Game From App Store · · Score: 1

    What about the Tapper game that's been around since the dawn of time where you have to frantically serve drinks to increasingly fast and angry patrons. Or the waitress game. Or any stressful job situation. Heck I think it's cruel to throw birds at pigs' houses.
