  1. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    Nope. They could have just winged it, after which it could have flown a few hundred feet before expiring. That's why you need a good retriever dog when bird hunting.

  2. Re:What's the problem? on FOIA Request Shows Which Printer Companies Cooperated With US Government · · Score: 1

    If not, reinstall Windows. That should do it.

  3. Re:What's the problem? on FOIA Request Shows Which Printer Companies Cooperated With US Government · · Score: 1

    The FBI traced the writers of the constitution, by examining some microscopic yellow dots on the document, and then these fellows (members of the so-called "Founding Fathers" terrorist group) were transported to Gitmo. Problem solved.

  4. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 3, Funny

    But "with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day" (2 Peter 3:8).

    Very similar to sitting in history class.

    Duh, he was actually 8 dwarfs in an overcoat.

  6. Re:banks make only $40 million? on Facebook Orders Banks To Stop Leaking IPO Details · · Score: 1

    Any IPO is based on projected future revenue. I've said other places, facebook with 800 million users is running out of users that will generate much money, and it's hard to know how much money they can get per users.

    They have ways of making money from you sheep that you haven't yet dreamed of.

  7. Re:Reasonable decision on Indian Court Orders Google To Remove Content · · Score: 1

    Your death, or theirs?

  8. Re:U.S. law is the new international law on Megaupload.com Shut Down, Founder Charged With Piracy · · Score: 2

    Julius Bencko, 35, a citizen and resident of Slovakia, who is the graphic designer;

    Dotcom, Batato, Ortmann and van der Kolk were arrested today in Auckland, New Zealand, by New Zealand authorities, who executed provisional arrest warrants requested by the United States. Bencko, Echternach and Nomm remain at large.

    A graphics designer remains at large? Presumed armed and dangerous, I hope.

  9. Re:They're going to frack a Volcano? on Pouring Water Into a Volcano To Generate Power · · Score: 1

    Part of me agrees with you; however, another part of me thinks that until we try, we'll never know whether our fears are just that, fears.

    So I, for one, think we should consider it.

    You live on the East coast, I'm guessing.

  10. Re:Just keep calm... on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Deal With Roving TSA Teams? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    By DC I assume you mean the District of Columbia, but that wouldn't make an sense, being as the downtown stations are less than a mile part, which is very easily walking distance (I've walked between them many times).

    Then you're obviously a terrorist, since no American would walk that far..

  11. How to mess up Amazon's computers on Amazon Patents Deducing Religion From Gift Wrap · · Score: 2

    Order a copy of the Koran with Hannukah gift wrapping!

  12. Re:Disappointed on Book Review: Defense Against the Black Arts · · Score: 1

    I was disappointed that this book wasn't published by Packt.

  13. Re:RTFA - really, it's interesting! on Are You Better At Math Than a 4th (or 10th) Grader? · · Score: 1

    Wrong answer! The correct answer is $288.80. She's a civil servant and gets paid the same whether she works 40 hours in a week (it just so happens her house was being painted and she needed a place to spend the week) or the more normal 29 hour civil-servant week.

  14. Re:better a little more north on Apple May Build Oregon Data Center Next To Facebook's · · Score: 1

    You missed one... Airport. All good datacenters are located rather close to a major commercial passenger airport, for easy access.

    Really not necessary anymore... just turn on Remote Desktop and you can access your computers remotely.

  15. Miracle! on iPhone Auto-Combusts On Australian Airplane · · Score: 1

    It's a sign from Saint Steve.

  16. Re:Peh. on Paper On Super Flu Strain May Be Banned From Publication · · Score: 1

    A vaccine for polo only prevent polo, not the common cold if you didn't realize it.

    If we prevent polo, what will the rich people do with their horses?

  17. Novell is killing babies now? on Bill Gates Takes the Stand In WordPerfect Trial · · Score: 5, Funny

    Bill Gates is spending his time and money these days looking for a cure for malaria and other diseases. Taking time away from that to testify in this case = more dead babies. Novell is killing babies.

  18. Re:If They're That Worried About It on The $443 Million Smallpox Vaccine That Nobody Needs · · Score: 1

    Some people are going to die.

    I like the idea of mandatory smallpox vaccinations and everyone loves lotteries, so let's combine the two. Make vaccinations mandatory, and the family of anyone unfortunate enough to suffer fatal side effects gets paid $1,000,000 (or $100,000 if they were in a low income bracket).

  19. Don't waste your money, invest it instead on Ask Slashdot: Ergonomic Office Environment? · · Score: 1

    Don't waste your money on all this "ergonomic" bullshit, instead invest what you'd have spent on it and you'll retire a few years earlier. Retirement is the best way to avoid wear and tear on joints, eyes and muscles.

  20. Re:The 1% are insulated on Ask Slashdot: How Do You View the Wall Street Protests? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    If i hit you in the head with a hammer, then punch you in the face, the punch didn't hurt right?

    Not if I was unconscious from the hammer blow.

  23. Re:so... on Seagulls Spreading Resistant Bacteria On Beaches · · Score: 3, Informative

    Unfortunately, not quite as simple as that. Seagulls like to crap on your hair, if no one points it out to you then there's a chance you could get infected while running your fingers through your hair and then licking them.

    Mod parent up! As a programmer, I can definitely see the potential and I plan on porting my Bitcoin mining program to Inferno OS.
