  1. Re:Snowden = Traitor on Snowden A Hero? Gates Says No, Woz Says Yes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Good thing they executed Einstein... oh wait...

  2. Re:WTF? on Goodbye, Google Voice · · Score: 1

    Agreed. It's also great to be able to check my phone messages and even send/receive from that number even if I can't find my phone.

  3. Re:Just do it already on 43,000-Year-Old Woolly Mammoth Remains Offer Strong Chance of Cloning · · Score: 1

    Haven't you ever heard the song by "Loverboy?" Mammoth and Elephant DNA just won't splice.

  4. Re:Shouldn't they start out small first? on 43,000-Year-Old Woolly Mammoth Remains Offer Strong Chance of Cloning · · Score: 1

    They've been able to achieve cloning for over a decade now.

  5. Re:Only only prep really leveling? on Is the New "Common Core SAT" Bill Gates' Doing? · · Score: 1

    Anyone with access to a school should have regular access to the internet, and even those who don't should still be able to access the internet at a local public library, in everywhere but the most backwoods areas of the nation. I'm not sure of any other way the materials could be made so available. (Not that I support Common Core or Gates' SAT initiatives)

  6. Re:Please.... on Google Sued Over Children's In-App Android Purchases · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Hey mom/dad, enter your password"

    A: "Sure"
    B: "Why?"

    Which sounds more responsible?

  7. Re:Not just a thief, but an actual traitor on SXSW: Edward Snowden Swipes At NSA · · Score: 1

    Members of any organization need to be responsible for the actions of that organization and the role they play allowing that to happen, regardless of how small that role may be. The opposite of this is called "corruption."

  8. Re:Not just a thief, but an actual traitor on SXSW: Edward Snowden Swipes At NSA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ultimately, nothing within the NSA leaks actually show any abuse of power.

    Right, like looking at non-criminal targets' sexually explicit webcam photos.

  9. We Don't Need No Education on School Tricks Pupils Into Installing a Root CA · · Score: 5, Funny

    All in all, it's just another brick in the firewall

  10. FYI on Jewish School Removes Evolution Questions From Exams · · Score: 1, Troll

    It's a girl's school, there's no extra sexism angle as might be implied by the summary.

  11. Re:Arg Pandas on Blizzard To Sell Level 90 WoW Characters For $60 · · Score: 1

    pandered

    I see what you did there...

  12. Re:Arg Pandas on Blizzard To Sell Level 90 WoW Characters For $60 · · Score: 1

    World of Warcraft is still one of the most popular western games in Asia.

  13. It's redacted.

  14. Re:They still have not caught a single terrorist. on TSA: Confiscating Aluminum Foil and Watching Out For Solar Powered Bombs · · Score: 1

    No, not the powder, and foil seems like a poor choice of sandwich wrap considering all of the airtight alternatives.

  15. Re:They still have not caught a single terrorist. on TSA: Confiscating Aluminum Foil and Watching Out For Solar Powered Bombs · · Score: 1

    If I may play Devil's advocate.. isn't aluminum foil one of two ingredients in a simple, household-items explosive? I'm not sure why you would need to carry it on a plane with you, either.

  16. Re:There are several good indie titles on Ask Slashdot: What Games Are You Playing? · · Score: 1

    Indie games Terraria, Risk of Rain and Hotline Miami are pretty incredible for a truly decent price point.

    Hotline Miami was probably my favorite game of 2013.

  17. Re:Skyrim on Ask Slashdot: What Games Are You Playing? · · Score: 1

    Here's an article by a Microsoft researcher detailing how they can make games forcefully addictive using the same techniques used to keep a mouse pressing a button indefinitely in a skinner box.

    Enjoy your box.

  18. Re:Well on 200-400 Gbps DDoS Attacks Are Now Normal · · Score: 5, Funny

    Then wait 10 seconds before plugging it back in.

  19. Re: I know this is getting old... on Japanese Man Already Lined Up To Buy iPhone 6 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Most decent people with morals and the spine to stand up to the society of freaks into which we are descending

    I think you mean "you and your circle of friends who validate each others' archaic and disgusting beliefs"

  20. Re:Join the slashdot farewell: on DARPA Seeks the Holy Grail of Search Engines · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is the comments.

    Not anymore...

  21. Re:Confused on Greenland's Fastest Glacier Sets New Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Per minute*

  22. Nothing.. on Robot Tourism Coming Soon To Korea: Robot Land Project Breaks Ground · · Score: 1

    Nothing could possibli go wrong.

  23. Meta-meta-meta-meta.. on Regex Golf, xkcd, and Peter Norvig · · Score: 2

    Now build a robot that can design a program to write a regex expression to solve the xkcd problem.

  24. Re:Good thing Visa takes the risk... on Neiman Marcus and Other Retailers Breached, Credit Card Details Stolen · · Score: 1

    If these were the same perpetrators as the Target attacks, as some journalists have suggested, they procured the numbers via physical card scanners infected with malware, not from a stored database.

  25. Re:Cause and effect may be backwards on Daily Pot Use Tied To Age of First Psychotic Episode · · Score: 1

    He was being pedantic. As am I. Huzzah!
