  1. Re:Two wrongs don't make a right on Edward Snowden Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    I grok what you did there.

  2. Re:Chek your speling on An Interesting Look At the Performance of JavaScript On Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Irony overload, abort, abort!

  3. Bikeshedding = Slashdot on An Interesting Look At the Performance of JavaScript On Mobile Devices · · Score: 2
  4. Re:Price Adjustment on Microsoft Slashes Prices On Surface · · Score: 2

    You had me at "Meh if you were dumb enough to buy one"

  5. Re:the front fell off on Container Ship Breaks In Two, Sinks · · Score: 1

    Ah, the great John Clarke. Nice one :-)

  6. Re:Some people are tougher than others on 50-Year-Old Assumptions About Muscle Strength Tossed Aside · · Score: 1

    It's also about levers. I wonder if people like your arm-mangling Eritrean friend have more favorable muscle insertions, e.g, Chimpanzees being considerably stronger pound for pound than humans? http://brettpyne.wordpress.com/2012/03/31/chimpanzee-strength-vs-human-strength/

  7. Re: Cobol is self-documenting on The Pentagon's Seven Million Lines of Cobol · · Score: 1

    It's alright. We have top men working on it now.

  8. Re:(The Real) Murphy's Law strikes again! on Upside-Down Sensors Caused Proton-M Rocket Crash · · Score: 1

    Well played, sir.

  9. Re:He can have my tolerance. on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    I wonder, does OSC get a percentage of the box office, or was he paid up-front for rights to the story? If it's the former, I'll take great delight in watching a torrented copy a few months after the movie is released. If he was paid up-front then I'll go see it at the theater.

  10. Re:one small problem on Fighting Street Gangs With Military Counter-Insurgency Software · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but is that the wide view? I.E. overall violence has dropped, but gang members specifically are still just as, or more, violent?

  11. Re:1 2 3 4 I declare flame war on UCSD Lecturer Releases Geotagging Application For "Dangerous Guns and Owners" · · Score: 1

    "Just kill the one with the sword first."

    "Ah," Reagan says, raising his waxed and penciled eyebrows, and cocking his pompadour in Shaftoe's direction. "Smarrrt--you target them because they're the officers, right?"

    "No, fuckhead!" Shaftoe yells. "You kill 'em because they've got fucking swords! You ever had anyone running at you waving a fucking sword?”

  12. Re:C64 DTV designer on Former Valve Hardware Designer Recounts Management Difficulties · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I checked out her Youtube page.

    Builds race cars? Check
    Rolls own ICs? Check
    Makes logic gates out of ferro cores? Check
    Visits lava field in Hawaii, and takes own shovel so friends can roast weenies and s'mores? Check
    Built a bass guitar out of a Commodore 64 and plays it on rollerskates? Check

      I think I'm in love.

  13. Re:Sounds like complete bullshit... on Confessions of a Cyber Warrior · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yeah, a lot of it sounds far-fetched to me as well.

    " Most of the software written in the world has a bug every three to five lines of code. " Sure, buddy.

    "It's all zero-days. Literally, if you can name the software or the controller, we have ways to exploit it. There is no software that isn't easily crackable. In the last few years, every publicly known and patched bug makes almost no impact on us. They aren't scratching the surface." Oookaaay, that sounds legit.

    "My loft was up near the rafters, so I scooted over into the next storage area, climbed down" No lock-up facility I've been in has access through the roof space to the roof space into other units. Would you keep "$100,000 worth of computers, radio equipment, and oscilloscopes" in such a facility?

    This reeks strongly of male bovine excrement.

  14. Plumpergeddon on Ask Slashdot: Good Tracking Solutions For Linux Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Slightly off topic, but I think plumpergeddon http://plumpergeddon.tumblr.com/ deserves a mention in this thread :-)

  15. Re:PREY on Ask Slashdot: Good Tracking Solutions For Linux Laptop? · · Score: 1

    +1 for Prey
    I run it on my Win7 laptop. I've deliberately left the guest account active with no password, so hopefully if it gets nicked the crim will log-on without wiping it. That gives Prey a chance to phone home and let me know where it is.

  16. Re:Universe 25 on Why Are Japanese Men Refusing To Leave Their Rooms? · · Score: 1

    You sound like the sort of person who would advise someone with depression to stop being so self-involved and get their shit together i.e, you don't have a clue.

  17. Re:Oh for the love of fuck... on French Gov't Runs Vast Electronic Spying Operation of Its Own · · Score: 1

    Obviously girlintraining isn't a true geek, or she would have known this from watching Star Trek VI

  18. Re:That is true of all cheap 3D Printers on Breaking Up With MakerBot · · Score: 1

    ... but I have loved mine personally.

    So you've been printing knock-off Fleshlights?

  19. Seems high on Firefox Takes the Performance Crown From Chrome · · Score: 2

    1 Gb seems high. I have 24 tabs open, run a bunch of plug-ins (Ghostery, Noscript, Adblock Plus, All-in-One Gestures, Nagios Checker, Session Manager, Download Helper, Brief, YouTube Rating Preview, Fiddler, Lastpass), add-ons (Java, Flash, VMWare Rconsole plug-in) and I'm hovering around 580 Mb.

  20. Re:Millions of Records On *Plates on Automated Plate Readers Let Police Collect Millions of Records On Drivers · · Score: 1

    If you have the DHCP logs or use static addressing, then they can

  21. Re:Oooo! A scientology thread on Slashdot! on Former Scientologist: CoS Told Brin It Wanted Only "Good" Search Results · · Score: 1

    Robotripping could explain a lot of Scientology's dogma. Was DXM around when L. Ron was writing the user guide?

  22. Air Gap on Ask Slashdot: Most Secure Browser In an Age of Surveillance? · · Score: 1

    I've been reading how you should "air gap" a computer to make it really secure. So now I only connect to the Internet with Wireless. I uninstalled my anti-virus software today, it was just using up memory on the disk, now I'm secured.

  23. Re:I used to work with stuff like this on 2 Men Accused of Trying To Make X-Ray Weapon · · Score: 1

    Do you need a permit to buy this sort of gear? Could you modify one of those tubes with a zone plate http://www.xradia.com/technology/basic-technology/focusing.php and have a longer range version?

  24. Re:I can explain on Scores of Vulnerable SAP Deployments Uncovered · · Score: 5, Funny
