  1. MSN was down as well. on Google Scrambles To Restore Google Talk From Outage · · Score: 2

    MSN had an outage message this morning.

    I am possibly the only /. user to notice this.

  2. x86? good luck with that... on World's Most Powerful x86 Supercomputer Boots Up in Germany · · Score: -1, Troll

    What good is a 'Supercomputer' with only 4GB of address space?

  3. No Multiple Single Signons. on Ask Slashdot: What's Holding Up Single Sign-On? · · Score: 1

    I have my personal windows live account, my day job Office 365 user account, and an Office 365 admin account for a friends small business I administrate for him on the side.

    Whenever I needed to switch I need to clear my cookies and close all browser windows, then login again. It was a massive PITA.

    What I do now is use IE for day job, Firefox for personal, and Chrome for admin; so they each have separate cookie sets.

    I probably should switch to separate VMs.

  4. Re:They have become what they fought... on Thomas Drake: You're Automatically Suspicious Until Proven Otherwise · · Score: 1

    or Global Warming /obvious troll

  5. Caution: on Record Setting 500 Trillion-Watt Laser Shot Achieved · · Score: 2

    Do not look into laser with remaining charred neck-stump.

  6. Re:If discovered in the US... on Texas Scientists Regret Loss of Higgs Boson Quest · · Score: 1

    Insert 'Your Mom' joke here.

  7. Re:Government Already Operates in a Fog on Feds Plan 'Fog of Disinformation' To Track Information Leaks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Iraq?

  8. but... but... on Why Microsoft Killed the Windows Start Button · · Score: 1

    I select items from the Start menu in order to Pin them in the first place...

    It's like a restaurant removing the menus because everyone just tells the waiter what they want...

  9. Re:Refuse all field tests on Minnesota Supreme Court Rejects DUI Challenges Based On Buggy Software · · Score: 1

    However, it does prevent them from collecting evidence to use in the criminal case against you, generally (obviously will vary) while DUI is a Criminal offense, refusing to comply with the tests is a Civil matter.

  10. Re:Too Bad on Minnesota Supreme Court Rejects DUI Challenges Based On Buggy Software · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, 'Drunk Driving' statistics are inflated.

    Drunk pedestrian falls into the street? 'Alcohol Involved'
    Rear end someone with a case of beer in their trunk? 'Alcohol Involved'
    Bringing empty beer bottles to the recyclers and someone hits you? 'Alcohol Involved'

  11. Re:Cost/Benefit on Minnesota Supreme Court Rejects DUI Challenges Based On Buggy Software · · Score: 1

    Well, in my state, being arrested (and not even convicted) for DUI means your license is automatically suspended.

  12. My response. on Chatbot Eugene Wins Biggest Turing Test Ever · · Score: 1

    I was chatting with the bot when Chris Hansen and the Dateline crew showed up at my door.

    Well, I presume it was the bot, they said they were 13...

  13. That's what money is for. on Transplant Surgeon Called Dibs On Steve Jobs' Home · · Score: 1

    What use is money if you can't spend it to survive a few months longer than some other poor sucker?

    Would you rather have communist rationed care and fascist death panels?

  14. What are the odds... on FunnyJunk Sues the Oatmeal Over TM and "Incitement To Cyber-Vandalism" · · Score: 1

    That the attorney just drumming up rage to incite contributions to benefit the charities.

    I'd call my own mother a bear molester if it could raise $100k+ for a good cause.

  15. Re:That's *it* for me and Blizzard, man!! on Diablo 3 Banhammer Dropped Just Before RMAH Goes Live · · Score: 1

    For many people, Steam has stopped working 'offline', unknown cause.

  16. First with no bezel wins. on Where Are All the High-Resolution Desktop Displays? · · Score: 1

    I'm just waiting for someone to invent a borderless display panel, so that many small ones can be tiled to whatever size is needed.

  17. Re:It's not a tax, it's an improvement on California City May Tax Sugary Drinks Like Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    Everything is a carcinogen in some situation/dose.

  18. Re:Yay, something I don't need and don't want on Xbox Second Screen Announced · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because the 360 (and PS3) are "Good Enough"

    Just like DVDs vs BluRay, sure BluRays hold more detail, higher res, etc. but DVD is sufficient for most people. Many are even willing to get lower quality for more convenience, like crappy streams/ 'R5' torrents. I would say the main reason DVD's outsold VHS is the lack of Rewinding.

  19. Re:WWKKT? What would Kim K. think? on Milky Way's Black Hole Wasn't Always Such a Wimp · · Score: 1

    Unless there is some unknown thing about the radiation stopping that allowed civilization to develop.
    Like a lower rate of mutations allowing humanity to become genetically stable.
    Sounds like a good Sci-Fi premise.

  20. Re:Photographer should say "Go ahead" on Photographer Threatened With Legal Action After Asserting His Copyright · · Score: 2

    Many terrible people run their own small 'Charities' as part of their self-promotion efforts. The sort of people who can't really get along with others, so can't work with larger organizations.

  21. Re:sea levels rising for thousands of years on Human Water Use Accounts For 42% of Recent Sea Level Rise · · Score: 1

    Humans are bound to the coastlines however; and not just because of enocomic reasons like shipping.

    Why are waterfront homes more expensive? why do people go to the beach and enjoy swimming? It's ingrained in our DNA to live next to bodies of water.

  22. Re:The Supremely Stupid Court on SCOTUS Refuses To Hear Tenenbaum Appeal · · Score: 1

    So, what stops him from moving to another country and starting over? Is there an effective international collections system?

  23. Re:Stop fiddling with the GUI on Aero Glass UI No More On Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    "I don't use windows to be wowed by the GUI graphics. I use windows because that's how I launch the programs and manage the files that I ACTUALLY care about."

    That basically sums up MS's goal with Metro UI; to get rid of distracting non-functional UI elements, leaving just the things you want to do.

    Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

  24. Re:Stung by? on Apple Commits To 100% Renewable Energy Sources for NC Data Center · · Score: 0

    Just like with Global Warming; it it gets warmer "We warned you!", if it doesn't "Yay! we saved the world!"

    Global Warming isn't Science, because it's not falsifiable (in their minds)

  25. Re:Image Gently on FDA Cracking Down On X-ray Exposure For Kids · · Score: 3, Funny

    After my daughter swallowed some magnets, the stupid doctors refused to do an MRI instead of X-Rays.

    Also: Vaccinations Bad!
