  1. Re:Slashdot - News by Morons on Raspberry Pi Goes On Sale In US, Sells Out · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm going to use my RaspberryPi to mine BitCoins... guaranteed front page story on Slashdot.

  2. Re:Tell that to Uwe Boll. on Why Bad Directors Aren't Thrown Out · · Score: 1

    Could you imagine what would happen if Uwe Boll was elected to HP's Board?

  3. Re:Direct link on Google Releases Street View Images From Fukushima Ghost Town · · Score: 0

    Don't make fun of the American kid. At least he realized that WW2 happened in the past.

  4. Re:Summary a bit confusing... on Ask Slashdot: Getting Apps To Use Phones' Full Power? · · Score: 1

    The prediction would be much funnier if Anonymous Coward went on to become one of the richest men in the world.

  5. Re:Depends on the source on Can You Really Hear the Difference Between Lossless, Lossy Audio? · · Score: 1

    When the music gets soft in 16b you have a lot of zeros in front of the number.

    I just listened to Smokey Robinson and The Miracles's "Oooh Baby Baby" and as it fades out at the end I heard him sing "Oooooooooooh Oooooooooh, Baby Baby, Ooooooooooohoooooooooooooo...". But the end was so quiet that I didn't hear the number after all the zeros.

    Beats by Dr Dre?

  7. Re:Organic growth on Bosch Finds Solar Business Unprofitable, Exits · · Score: 2

    You mean one powered by a solar-cell that's driven by the light in the refrigerator? But what happens when you close the door?

  8. Re:There's only one company on that list... on Post "Good Google," Who Will Defend the Open Web? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yahoo will rise again. They clearly grasp the significance of cloud computing, which is why they've collected all their employees in one place.

  9. Re:Online Kill Switch on Ask Slashdot: What Is a Reasonable Way To Deter Piracy? · · Score: 0

    If the server denys permission, the program deletes the keyfile, and refuses to run in the future.

    A better approach would be to delete random files from the user's computer.

  10. Hardware key on Ask Slashdot: What Is a Reasonable Way To Deter Piracy? · · Score: 0

    The best solution is a hardware key (or dongle) that plugs into the user's computer. The dongle should maintain an always-on communication check with your server. In the event that the program detects a missing dongle it should delete some random files from the pirate's hard disk.

    They cloned it.

  14. Re:Please don't... on Ask Slashdot: How to Pimp My Android Tablet? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't understand posters like you. Have you even tried Monster cables? I was skeptical about them at first, like you but when I hooked up a pair (making sure they were oriented in the right direction) I was blown away by how much better my collection of 128k MP3s sounded.

    Fargo won't work... the groundwater's full of hallucinogens from all the fracking.

  16. Call in DHS on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 1

    The people "leaching" your connection may well be terrorists using your internet to plan crimes against the American people. When it comes time to investigate, you will be the one explaining why your connection was used to make these suspicious searches. Avoid problems now - call in DHS and get them to find and nab the terrorists before they can do any harm.

  17. Re:Why Is That Damning At All?? on Layoffs Hit Washington Post Mobile Team · · Score: 0

    Capitalist pig. Employees put their heart and soul into their jobs, the least you can do is offer them lifetime employment.

  18. Re:So on Pope To Resign Citing Advanced Age · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The Pope has a Twitter account, you insensitive clod.

    Not if it's a digital clock.

  20. Re:It is Psychology, Science! Fact! on Paper On Conspiratorial Thinking Invokes Conspiratorial Thinking · · Score: 2

    Say your dog keeps relieving itself in my garden. Should I spend the money to improve the fence, or should you keep the dog under control?

    That is pretty cheap for eight pattys though. How can an American get these in the U.S.?
