  1. If it ran on batteries... on Italian Researchers Demonstrate 'Powerloader' Suit · · Score: 1

    ...would it be able to lift them?

  2. Re:It's Pets.com all over again on How Jan Koum Steered WhatsApp Into $16B Facebook Deal · · Score: 2

    "HaHa! Now I have the only one!" (only in Danish).

    Strange. Why would he have spoken Danish?

  3. Re:Spell it out the first time on Linus Torvalds: Any CLA Is Fundamentally Broken · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I was stuck at Command Line...something.

  4. Re:2013 Year of the Linux Network on Your Next Network Operating System Is Linux · · Score: 1

    Try it for yourself and see (in a VM of course).

    Cue the ancient NO CARRIER meme.

  5. Re:Good they didn't have this naming years ago ... on Un-Un-Pentium On Your Periodic Table of the Elements? · · Score: 1

    Oh no, that's Curium. My bad.

  6. Re:Good they didn't have this naming years ago ... on Un-Un-Pentium On Your Periodic Table of the Elements? · · Score: 1

    And Americium would be something like "Nonosexium". Appropriate, somehow.

  7. Re:Bug? on Facebook API Bug Deletes Contact Info On Phones · · Score: 1
  8. Spam filtering on Ask Slashdot: Self-Hosted Gmail Alternatives? · · Score: 2

    Well, for starters, you want a damn good spam filter.

  9. What about Ubuntu One? on Dropbox Authentication: Insecure By Design · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ubuntu One is a similar service, running native on Ubuntu systems. I wonder whether that has the same built-in vulnerability.

  10. Re:High version numbers on Firefox 5 Scheduled For June 21 Release · · Score: 1

    What actual features and improvements could they possibly have added in "8 WEEKS" since the release that they have had time to actually put through an Alpha test, Beta test, and then full release that would warrant a VERSION 5!?!

    Who says they have just started doing that?

  11. Re:FWIW on What’s the Internet? (on 1994's Today Show) · · Score: 1

    Did you notice that they even didn't display an @, but instead showed an "A" in a little circle? Apparently, in 1994, not all keyboards had the @ sign.

  12. See that all the time on Aging Reversed In Mice · · Score: 3, Funny

    It was probably the unexpected attention that the elderly mice got, that made them feel happy and youthful. That, and a placebo effect.

  13. Getting Things Done with Basket on How Do You Manage the Information In Your Life? · · Score: 1

    I run a little program on my Kubuntu laptop called Basket. It is no more than a container for every kind of information imaginable - text, images, links, you name it - but it has been incredible in helping me organize things. I tried everything from pen-and-paper to Lotus Organizer, and at one point started to build my own application just for keeping a diary and similar stuff. But Basket simply has it all.
    In fact, it comes with a set of files that you can import and implement David Allen's Getting Things Done (see note above).
    Highly recommended. And I have no affiliations with the developers.

  14. Awesome dad on Brooklyn Father And Son Launch Homemade Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Being awesome: your doin it rite.

  15. Re:Interesting, yet pointless on Twitter Closes Hole After Attack Hits Up To 500K Users · · Score: 1

    Actually, no, as a means of just sharing links to information it sucks, because you generally can't fit URLs and useful description into 140 characters--so you either have to skip describing the thing you're linking to, or you have to obfuscate the URL through a redirection service.

    Oh come on. Twitter clients like Tweetdeck automatically shorten links that you paste into them.

  16. West Antarctica on Scientists Cut Greenland Ice Loss Estimate By Half · · Score: 1

    How can there be a "West Antarctica"?

  17. See Evoluon website on Information On Philips' "Coffee" Machine? · · Score: 5, Informative

    This machine used to be on permanent display in the Evoluon, a museum dedicated to technology and modern art in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. See here. This site is run by a man named Kees who may be able to answer your questions.

  18. Re:What... on GCC Moving To Use C++ Instead of C · · Score: 5, Funny

    Quis compilabit ipsos compilatores?

    ecco, tibi fixi .

  19. Did anyone else notice the Volkswagen Beetle? on Avatars Used For Australian Online Sex Appeal Study · · Score: 1

    Behind each of the models, there is a faint picture of a Volkswagen Beetle. At first I thought of some form of subliminal advertising, but they must have needed some way to show relative height. And a Beetle is of course fairly universal.

  20. Re:Translation for the legislative impared. on Wisconsin DA Threatens Arrests Over Sex Ed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When you invented this trick, what did you think you were doing?

  21. Re:Of course on California Legislature Declares "Cuss-Free" Week · · Score: 1

    As a Dutchman, I draw the line at Belgium.

  22. Re:WordPro? on IBM Policy Switches From MS Office To OO.o · · Score: 1

    OO.o will happily read your .lwp files.

  23. Re:Still not going to be Mainstream... on Asus Plans Dual-Display E-Reader · · Score: 1

    That may be SFW, but you would have a hard time explaining that.

  24. Does it work backwards too? on The Geometry of Music · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It would have been nice if the author had provided some examples of music that his model predicts. If I walk a circle in his four-dimensional space, what does it sound like?

  25. Re:List of alternatives? on Allofmp3 Shut Down, Again · · Score: 0

    mp3search.ru is now gomusic.ru.
