  1. Re:Nick Kolakowski Strikes Again! on Wolfram Alpha Drills Deep Into Facebook Data · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Just removed Slashdot from my bookmarks toolbar and for good measure pointed slashdot.org to 127.0.0.1 in my hosts file.

  2. Re:The man wants kids to dream of a better world. on Politician Wants Sci-fi To Be Mandatory In School · · Score: 1

    Won't cost anything? Is SciFi out of copyright now? The guy's probably getting kickbacks from the publishers.

  3. Re:Researchers find: Primates don't likebeinglocke on Harvard To Close New England Primate Research Center · · Score: 1

    That's right, the primates had a chance of leaving before they died.

  4. Re:what about the monkeys? on Harvard To Close New England Primate Research Center · · Score: 1

    I believe that would be the African bushmeat markets.

  5. Re:To switch languages in Scratch... on Localized (Visual) Programming Language For Kids? · · Score: 1

    Danish people tend to speak Danish (Danske), not Spanish (Espanol).

  6. A reflection on Sweden on Pirate Bay Co-Founder Indicted For Hacking, Fraud · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Remember when the only famous Swedes were sex symbols like Anita Ekberg and Ann Margret, instead of alleged criminals like the current bunch? I miss the good old days.

  7. Re:CmdrTaco's Fault on American Airlines Grounds Flights · · Score: 0

    Doesn't CmdrTaco still get royalties everytime a Packt book review is published here?

  8. Re:slashdot? on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 1

    And funded with bitcoins, of course.

  9. Re:Welcome to smalltalk, circa 1980's... on Taking the Pain Out of Debugging With Live Programming · · Score: 2

    They've brought smalltalk into the 21st century... by adding Clippy!

  10. Re:Neat on Construction of World's Largest Optical Telescope Approved · · Score: 1

    Not an issue, since Photoshop can automatically fix the aberrations for you.

  11. Re:Well the ultimate value of Bitcoin is on BitCoin Value Collapses, Possibly Due To DDoS · · Score: 2

    I tried eating a tulip bulb once (thought it was a garlic bulb) and I can say that its intrinsic value isn't too high.

  12. Re:Count Me Confused on Increased Carbon Emissions Creating Giant Crabs · · Score: 2

    So the Chesapeake's dying from overfishing and your answer is to move on up to Delaware Bay. Hope your grandchildren appreciate the fine work you're doing for the planet.

  13. This again? on Ask Slashdot: Open Source For Bill and Document Management? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Similar questions to yours appear here regularly. The consensus is that it's best just to throw the bills and documents out and spend more time watching porn.

  14. Re:Ruining it for everyone on Researcher Evan Booth: How To Weaponize Tax-Free Airport Goods · · Score: 1

    You know too much about this plutonium. Report to Guantanamo Bay.

  15. Re:Ruining it for everyone on Researcher Evan Booth: How To Weaponize Tax-Free Airport Goods · · Score: 5, Funny

    The replacement clippers you bought in the shop were made of approved inert metal. The ones you tried to smuggle on the aircraft could well have been made of plutonium. You and a few of your terrorist buddies put your plutonium nail clippers together and... BOOM! So you see, the policy was effective. Now please report to Guantanamo Bay.

  16. Re:Why do yu need a new intercont missile ??? on Korea Tensions Lead To Delay Of Minuteman III Test Flight · · Score: 2

    I see the problem here and you're both right. Minuteman Three was developed in the 1960s, but the latest iteration Minuteman One Hundred and Eleven still needs to be tested... you don't think the military-industrial complex has been idling for these past four decades now do you?

  17. Re:here's my prediction on Korea Tensions Lead To Delay Of Minuteman III Test Flight · · Score: 1

    In a country of 24+ million starving people, it probably would be impossible to find a body double for that pudgy lunatic.

  18. Let them in on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Unwanted But Official Security Probes? · · Score: 0
  19. Market disruption on Researchers Build 3D Printer That Makes Tissue-Like Material · · Score: 3, Funny

    The folks at Kleenex must be worried. When people can print their own tissues at home, why would they buy a box of them in the store?

  20. Good luck with that on WebKit Developers Discuss Removal of Google-Specific Code · · Score: -1

    Google's posted a half-hour video explaining how the transition will work? They're crazy if they think any regular user is going to spend a half hour learning how to use a new browser... just make it work like the old one or don't expect people to use it.

  21. Re:Huh? on Digital Bolex Gives You a Classic Film Look in a Digital Package (Video) · · Score: 3, Funny

    To be fair, vinyl only sounds better than CD if you use the recommended Monster cables.

  22. Re:So how do us, the unwashed masses on Massive Data Leak Reveals How the Ultra Rich Hide Their Wealth · · Score: 1

    If you don't know the difference between working productively and "making a boycott app for smartphones", then don't complain about your minimum-wage lifestyle.

  24. Re:So how do us, the unwashed masses on Massive Data Leak Reveals How the Ultra Rich Hide Their Wealth · · Score: 2

    Get their hands on this data to then make a boycott app for the smartphones so we know who to not do business with.

    If you spent your time working productively, instead of wasting it boycotting productive people, maybe you'd make some money yourself.

  25. Re:Political aftermath on Massive Data Leak Reveals How the Ultra Rich Hide Their Wealth · · Score: 1

    What are the politicians going to do to address these loopholes?

    Close them up and then create some new ones, obviously.
