    > I go to Slashdot for first-source news

    First-source? Half the time it's not even the first time that story's been on Slashdot!

    Don't worry, I'll get one of the gals to fix your code

  4. Skynet on Drone Fire-Fighting Tested in Nebraska (ap.org) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Let's hope Skynet never gets a hold of this thing. Because if you think birds pooping on your head is annoying,,

  5. Yeah! on Spamhaus Calls for Fining Operators of Insecure Servers · · Score: 1

    This is long overdue, and you know who else should be brought to bear? Organisations like Slashdot with their Slashdot effect! I, for one, thNO CARRIER

  6. Re:As long... on Spamhaus Calls for Fining Operators of Insecure Servers · · Score: 1

    ...as server operators can fine Spamhaus for false positives.

    All these fines should go towards counselling for the servers to help resolve their insecurities

    WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE SERVERS?

  7. First search on Google Launches Voice Search Hotword Extension For Chrome · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Google, where has my keyboard gone?"

  8. Great news. on At Long Last: IceCube Spots 28 High-Energy Neutrinos · · Score: 2

    You'd have thought someone would've thought to check the results?

    Anyway, I bet they're glad; after 3 fruitless years, the project must have been on the rocks.



    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

  9. Re:Me too! on Project Rescue Expert Todd Williams Talks About Healthcare.gov (Video) · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    A smart comment here beneath a snarky exterior. Profiteering created this this mess and I now can't help see this gentleman as anything but a dollar-bill eyed charlatan.

    I would watch the video but, you know, this is Slashdot.

    * I actually live in the UK but for once I'll refrain from the we have free healthcare, you obligatory insensitive clod joke. This site seems like a step in the right direction, all fingers crossed for my US brethren.

  10. Re:Only thing we need to know: on Bionic Eye Implant Available In US Next Month · · Score: 1

    Will it make that cool "boop-boop-boop-boop" noise?

    Of course! That's why Picard always borrows it to save the Enterprise!

  11. Re:The distinction is minor on Google Nexus Gets Wireless Charger · · Score: 4, Funny

    You magnetically drop your device into place onto a block on a power cord.

    Wow, that's cool. I drop mine using boring old gravity.

  12. At last! on ISS Astronauts Fire-Up Awesome 'Cubesat Cannon' · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our new cuboid overlords and am jettisoning my tin foil head-wear as I speak

    Record this fridge?

  14. Meh on Next-Gen Spacesuits · · Score: 1

    Outer space is a hostile environment for humans, characterized by an airless vacuum, thermal extremes, ionizing radiation and speeding micro meteoroids.

    Don't go there then.

    Yes, subscriptions to my newsletter are available.

  15. Old on Berkeley Scientists Develop Self-Assembling Nanorods · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've been turning a nanorod into a three dimensional structure for years.

    Haven't yet worked out how to make it visible to the naked eye, though.

  16. *Rorschach voice* on DC Comics Announces "Before Watchmen" · · Score: 1

    What are you waiting for... do it.. DO IT!

  17. Re:Stop delaying the inevitable. on Wikipedia Chooses Lua As Its New Template Language · · Score: 4, Funny

    "the template system started turning into an ugly programming language" - ah, any sufficiently complex system eventually evolves to contain a limited, broken version of Common Lisp. Stop delaying the inevitable!

    LEEEEEEEROOOY JEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIINNSSS

  18. Re:I think it's no coincidence on Science Panel Recommends Censoring Bird Flu Papers · · Score: 4, Funny

    The green sickly pigs in Angry Birds were inspired by the Swine Flu epidemic

    I like to imagine that the back-story is: the birds are angry because they are in biological warfare with their piggy enemies. Avian flu... swine flu...

  19. Re:Is the price really that horrible? on AMD's New Radeon HD 7950 Tested · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When Nvidia puts out a $500 card, it's attractively priced. When AMD puts out a faster card for 10% less, it draws complaints about the price from the same reviewer. What gives?

    To be fair, that review you linked is from November 2010. Perhaps second-hand 580s are better value or something.

  20. But... on AMD's New Radeon HD 7950 Tested · · Score: 3, Informative

    But does it run Linux?

    No, seriously... last time I tried to install Ubuntu with an ATI card (a few months ago), I couldn't get dual monitors to work correctly.

    The restricted drivers exist, but are unstable, awkward and painful. Linux and Nvidia - a bit better in my experience..

  21. Re:What number am I thinking of? on Computer Program Reconstructs Heard Words From Brain Scans · · Score: 1

    69 dude!

    This is odd, all the blood is draining out of his brain, and a small tent has appeared in his.... oh!

  22. Re:10 CENTIMETERS NOT INCHES!!!! on Self-Guided Bullet Can Hit Targets a Mile Away · · Score: 4, Funny

    The bullet is 10cm not 10in.

    That's what she said..

  23. Politics in a nutshell on Eye of Tiger Composer Sues Gingrich To Stop Campaign From Using Song · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So many times, it happens too fast
    You trade your passion for glory

  24. OMG on Hijacked Web Traffic For Sale · · Score: 3, Funny

    Today I learnt

    1) There are hackers on the Internet

    2) Foreign capitalists also engage in criminal activity

    3) Noone cares about Australian click-throughs

  25. I have a suggestion! on Some Windows 8 Laptops May Come With Built-In Kinect Sensors · · Score: 4, Funny
