  1. Re:Humanoid? on Students Demo Firefighting Humanoid Robot On US Navy Ship · · Score: 1

    I'd like ant bots. ;)

  2. Re:"remove hardened firewalls between vehicle ECUs on Automakers Move Toward OTA Software Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Infected by Cylons? ;)

  3. Re:Because you know... on Google-Advised Disney Cartoon Aims To Convince Preschool Girls Coding's Cool · · Score: 1

    1/3rd in their lives? Wow. I didn't know it was that high. What about virginity, etc.? I guess I am in both of those groups. :P

  4. NBA's TNT OT on YouTube Launches Multi-Angle Video Experiment · · Score: 1

    http://www.nba.com/tntovertime... started this years ago. Very fun.

  5. Re:Data by the GIG still? on Verizon Dropping Data Rates, But Current Customers Have To Call · · Score: 1

    My parents had to dump T-Mobile for Verizon Wireless from the move because the rural area is crappy to most carriers (Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.).

  6. Re:That's why nobody sensible wants them on US Health Insurer Anthem Suffers Massive Data Breach · · Score: 1

    Your children/kids should be the next CIOs. ;)

  7. Re:It is, sorta on Ask Slashdot: Gaining Control of My Mobile Browser? · · Score: 1

    4G LTE? Uh oh. What about 3G like on an old, used iPhone 4S? :(

  8. Re:Great News on Confirmed: FCC Will Try To Regulate Internet Under Title II · · Score: 1

    Yep, it's all talks now. Let's see some results. Prove it, FCC!

  9. Re:The biggest failure of science: on Too Much Exercise May Not Be Better Than a Sedentary Lifestyle · · Score: 1

    Which hemisphere? ;)

  10. Re:well, i'm looking for the clearance sales on RadioShack Near Deal To Sell Half of Its Stores, Close the Rest · · Score: 1

    And after that? :P

  11. Bad for electronics? on The "Cool Brick" Can Cool Off an Entire Room Using Nothing But Water · · Score: 1

    Water is bad for electronics though. :(

  12. Re:Olympics on The NFL Wants You To Think These Things Are Illegal · · Score: 1

    Same here. I only watch the ceremonies like performances (skip the boring speeches and flag parade). I care not for the actual sports.

  13. Re:Hyperbole Sunday on The NFL Wants You To Think These Things Are Illegal · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I recorded so I can skim through the football game, but watch some of the (commercial/spot/advertisement)s [already saw some last week online -- thanks Internet!] and half-time show.

  14. Ants? on Physicists Make a Mobius Strip From Beams of Light · · Score: 2

    Cool! Please add ants too! ;)

  15. Re:Evidence of a market failure on Comcast Employees Change Customer Names To 'Dummy' and Other Insults · · Score: 1

    LOL. Verizon would not do that. Do they really care?

  16. Re:Accessibility is still a sad joke! on How Blind Programmers Write Code · · Score: 1

    Yep, I don't use standard display settings as well on my test machines. It amazes me how many issues I run into. I used to be a SQA tester/analyst for my employer (got laid off last week from a 10% layoff) and had to write up many issues about usability and comestic issues. I am very picky in catching them (can see slight differences like a pixel off, color differences, etc.). Most of the reported issues are just deferred or cared not. There need to be stricter rules about accessibility. :(

  17. Re:Does It Matter? on VirtualBox Development At a Standstill · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I use it for testing and compatibility usages. I would use VMware, but they're pricey while VirtualBox is free for home usages. I prefer VMware over VirtualBox though. :(

  18. Re: track record on US Air Force Selects Boeing 747-8 To Replace Air Force One · · Score: 1

    But successfully?

  19. Re:US Robotics 56K on FCC Officially Approves Change In the Definition of Broadband · · Score: 1

    56K? FCC only allows up to 53K. I wished I could go that high for dial-up modem speeds. It is ranges from 21600 to 31200. Lots of line noises and at best 3 kB/sec for compressed downloads. :(

  20. Re:Adblock, FTW on Adobe's Latest Zero-Day Exploit Repurposed, Targeting Adult Websites · · Score: 1

    Aren't there ad blockers for iOS? I hate it when web sites don't work with ad blockers. :(

  21. Re:Juuust Right on The iPad Is 5 Years Old This Week, But You Still Don't Need One · · Score: 1

    What about desktops and lappies? I prefer those.

    I still want clicky (model M) keyboards so I can type like a machine gun (can't do that with tablets with no physical keys' surface bumps), power/speed (e.g., compiling and gaming!), etc. I rarely go out, weak to carry heavy stuff, and move around due to my disabilities. I don't even own a mobile phone.

  22. Re:not the point on Why Screen Lockers On X11 Cannot Be Secure · · Score: 1

    Well, not everyone remembers to press winkey+L. We do forget once in a while. At my former workplace, it is a 10/ten minutes idle time. :(

  23. Re:iPad 2 Makes For Great Alarm Clock on The iPad Is 5 Years Old This Week, But You Still Don't Need One · · Score: 1

    Your neighbors must love you for that. :P

  24. Re:I prefer a tablet for some things to a smart ph on The iPad Is 5 Years Old This Week, But You Still Don't Need One · · Score: 1

    I'd rather throw a heavy lappy, model M keyboard, etc. at the intruders. Those hurt. ;)

  25. Re:Mohammed ... on Facebook Censoring Images of the Prophet Muhammad In Turkey · · Score: 1

    It looks like me as an ant. :P
