  1. Re:Building is easy, launching is hard on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Build a Microsatellite? · · Score: 0

    if you're the Best Korea, you can't build a functioning satellite but you can launch it into orbit.

  2. Re:This will come as good news... on IQ 'a Myth,' Study Says · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I am a MENSA member but I hardly consider myself very smart. I mean, I'm kinda smart but I see lots of people that blow me away when it comes to various mental abilities. And none of them are MENSA members.

  3. Re:This again? on School Shooting Prompts Legislation To Study Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    Julius Caesar did watch violent video games. It wasn't digital though, the video was analog real-time photons bouncing off gladiators in the arena.

    Anyways it's interesting to see nerds whining when the big bad government comes to take their games away. Now you know how gunowners feel.

  4. 210 posts and nobody mentioned Asimov? on Possible Habitable Planet Just 12 Light Years Away · · Score: 5, Informative

    He had foreseen this. The planet around Tau Ceti is called Aurora. It is the home of long-living humans and mind-reading robots.

  5. Re:10 years does not fit the crime on Hacker Behind Leaked Nude Celebrity Photos Gets 10 Years · · Score: 1

    he got additional years for being stupid. He should've known that in this society (and just about every society), crimes committed against the rich and famous are punished far more severely than crimes committed against the riffraff.

    Even the gangbangers know this, they prey on lowly people in their own ghettos most of the time.

  6. Re:w3c on W3C Finalizes the Definition of HTML5 · · Score: 1, Funny

    you're a pal and a cosmonaut.

  7. Re:OK rational Scotsman here... on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    Scotland went from the land of Braveheart to a pussyfied police state populated by the likes of you, demanding gov't surveillance cameras on every street corner and trading freedom for little bits of security. Willam Wallace must be turning over in his grave.

  8. Which Korea did this? on New "Sanny" Cyber-Espionage Attack Targets Russia · · Score: 1

    the BEST KOREA!

    It couldn't have been South Korea, because they only use IE6 activeX controls for everything.

  9. Re:So what does the world do about it? on North Korea's Satellite Is Out of Control · · Score: 5, Funny

    And, of course, you sound so confident you can win (protip: You didn't win last time).

    We didn't have Chuck Norris last time.

  10. Minecraft?? on Learning Rocket Science With Video Games · · Score: 0

    I didn't RTFA but how on earth does Minecraft help kids learn science?

    Arithmetic maybe, since kids can learn to count the (small) number of pixels in the godawful block graphics.

  11. That's why I bought a on Frame Latency Spikes Plague Radeon Graphics Cards · · Score: 4, Funny

    Diamond Stealth 3D card with Cirrus Logic chip. It doesn't suffer from latency spikes.

  12. They should work on the reverse on Physicists Turn Pull Into Push · · Score: 2

    we already know lots of ways to push things... jet engines to push planes, gunpowder to push bullets out of a gun, etc.

    What we need is a way to PULL things, so we can make a tractor beam. So far we got... nothing.

  13. Re:Benefits on Book Review: Sams Teach Yourself Node.js In 24 Hours · · Score: 4, Funny

    you can add cool sliding divs and blinking banners to your server console UI.

  14. Yes but on Race To Mine Bitcoins Drives Enthusiasts Into the Chip Making Business · · Score: 4, Funny

    if you can buy the hardware on credit,

    1. use the hardware to mine new BitCoins
    2. pay back the hardware vendor with your BitCoins
    3. ???

  15. Unlimited power? on US House Votes 397-0 To Oppose UN Control of the Internet · · Score: 3, Funny

    Unless controlling the internet lets you shoot lightning bolts from your fingertips, I would not call that unlimited power.

  16. Android Dominance? on Android Rules Smartphones, But Which Version? · · Score: 2

    Android 68.3 percent, well ahead of iOS at 18.8

    So there are over 3 times as many Android phones as iPhones, yet internet usage by Android is *lower*?

    Something is fishy here.

  17. Re:News For Nerds??? on Samsung Sets New Guidelines For Alcoholic Beverages · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    because it has Samsung in it, and Slashdot was unable to fill its mandatory Apple quota for the day, so they did the next best thing. (kind of like how Samsung Galaxy is the next best thing if you can't get an iPhone)

  18. Re:The kid was lucky on 7 Jailed In 'Kidney For iPad' Case In China · · Score: 1

    They could've harvested his Wang minicomputer?

  19. Does this mean I can on Firefox 20 Will Finally Fix Private Browsing Mode · · Score: 5, Funny

    post politically correct things (Linux rules and Bush sucks!) to Slashdot while logged in, and at the same time open a Private Browsing window and troll as AC?

  20. another dot.com bites the dust on Newzbin2 Closes For Good · · Score: 3, Funny

    lemme go submit this to Pud at fuckedcompany.com... brb

  21. 1. Create a simple static html page on Ask Slashdot: What Web Platform For a Small Municipality? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    with info about the town that does not change (name, location info, some pictures, etc)

    2. Create the town's Facebook page, populate it with dynamic data, and hand over control of the account to the town manager (or whoever)

    3. Embed Facebook data into your static html page

    You can go Drupal or Joomla but do you really want to be responsible for security and upkeep? Joomla in particular gets hacked a LOT. Drupal is a nightmare to train newbs how to use.

  22. Re:route around it? on Syria Drops Off the Internet Grid · · Score: 1

    it's okay, the internet can recover from a nuclear attack. As soon as somebody uses a nuke the internet will heal itself.

  23. How does this compare with Google glasses? on Kickstarted Oculus Rift VR Headset Shipping In March/April · · Score: 2

    I am somewhat interested in VR glasses but not enough to have followed them in detail. Is the Oculus any better than what Sergei Brin is wearing?

  24. Re:Should be Windows GOLD on Windows Blue: Microsoft's Plan To Release a New Version of Windows Every Year · · Score: 3, Insightful

    most people get Windows when they buy a new PC. So for them, the buy-in cost isn't $200+, it's more like $20 or whatever HP/Dell/Lenovo currently pays Microsoft for a copy.

  25. I wanna be like Mike!

    Apple = Michael Jordan
    Windows 8 = Air Jordans
    Microsoft = little kid in the commercial
