  1. Re:My arms hurt..... on TI Plans Minority Report UI Using ARM SoC + Projector · · Score: 1

    You must be a real tiger in the sack...

  2. Re:This is for WHAT exactly? on TI Plans Minority Report UI Using ARM SoC + Projector · · Score: 1

    Like all new technology, it facilitates the delivery and use of porn, of course! Keyboards and mice are hard to clean!

  3. I see a potential flaw on Belgian Senator Calls For: "No Sex Till Government Is Formed" · · Score: 1

    All strikes can be broken through the use of scab workers...

  4. Re:Cybercheat? on 61.9% of Undergraduates Cybercheat · · Score: 2

    In real everyday business life, using existing documents as a starting point instead of generating new documents from scratch is considered a good business practice. Chances are have "cheated" won't effect their careers at all.

  5. Here's what pisses me off on The Notable Decline of Identity Fraud · · Score: 3, Funny

    Somebody used my wife's credit card number to buy merchandise and ship it to an address on the opposite coast. So she called up the credit card company and asked them what address was used. They refused to give it to her, citing privacy concerns! WTF, the identity thief's right to privacy now trumps the cardholder's right to go there and kick their ass?

  6. Cybercheat? on 61.9% of Undergraduates Cybercheat · · Score: 5, Funny

    And about 97% of drivers "velocitycheat", or drive faster than the posted speed limit. See, I can make up new words too!

  7. Re:Wow on Alcatel-Lucent Shrinks Mobile Cell Tower To Small Cube · · Score: 1

    By my understanding, Skype uses peer to peer for control (mapping Skype names to IP addresses), but not for passing actual audio/video data.

  8. Re:"Unsafe at any Speed" on Private Space Shuttle Flights · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In the Shuttle's defense, I must say it has much better acceleration and a much higher top speed than the Corvair. Oh, and it flies too!

    The fundamental flaw in the Shuttle design was putting the booster tanks beside the Shuttle instead of below it. It's successors won't make the same mistake.

  9. Planning ahead on Mozilla Aims To Release Four Firefox Versions In 2011 · · Score: 2

    Nice to see that Mozilla has adopted my software development philosophy: Remember, the sooner you get behind, the more time you have to catch up! I can't be the only person that doesn't believe these will all ship this year?

  10. Re:This article belies a greater question... on Swedish Patients Get Pans And Spoons To Call Help · · Score: 1

    This is a new ward set up for the sole purpose of treating Julian Assange's victims...

  11. Re:Wow on Alcatel-Lucent Shrinks Mobile Cell Tower To Small Cube · · Score: 1

    Other have proposed that idea, and still others have rejected it because each hop adds round trip delay. So while peer-to-peer is great for message passing, it sucks for real-time audio. SMS texting, on the other hand, would do fine on a peer-to-peer network.

  12. Re:Just another microcell on Alcatel-Lucent Shrinks Mobile Cell Tower To Small Cube · · Score: 3

    Speak for yourself... my microcell is much, much bigger!

  13. Wow on Alcatel-Lucent Shrinks Mobile Cell Tower To Small Cube · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Now if you could just take one of those cubes, attach a battery, and make it mobile... you'd have a mobile phone!

  14. Re:Social networking for robots on RoboEarth Teaches Robots to Learn From Peers · · Score: 1

    Obviously, the network will be used to help them find the humans they are hunting down. What else could it possibly be good for?

  15. Re:Anybody see iRobot? on RoboEarth Teaches Robots to Learn From Peers · · Score: 1

    Uh... you DO know that "I, Robot" was based on an Issac Asimov novel, don't you? Both the movie and the Alan Parson's Concept album stole the name from the novel.

  16. Re:Why start robots as a subservient class? on RoboEarth Teaches Robots to Learn From Peers · · Score: 1

    Slashdot readers are safe... the sexbots would have no purpose to their lives without them.

  17. Re:a helpful tip on Woman Gets Revenge Courtesy of Google Images · · Score: 1

    Some brunettes dye their hair blond...

  18. Re:Does not compute on NASA Releases First 3D Images of the Sun · · Score: 1

    In related news, the Super Bowl hit a record high of eight accused sexual predators on the field at the same time.

    At least that explains why neither team brought cheerleaders...

    Other than Rothlisberger, who were the other sexual predators?

  19. Another one hops on the bandwagon on NASA Releases First 3D Images of the Sun · · Score: 1

    Avatar ignited a 3D movie craze, now everybody has to imitate James Cameron... even NASA! As for myself, I'll still be watching movies of the sun in 2D, thank you very much!

  20. Never see the light of day on New Mexico Bill To Protect Anti-Science Education · · Score: 1

    Pass it and it will be immediately challenged as violating the First Amendment.

  21. Revenge?!? on Woman Gets Revenge Courtesy of Google Images · · Score: 1

    You really want revenge, post his picture and phone number to craigslist in the MFM section, asking asking those interested "call any time!"

  22. Re:How does this affect me? on 'Invisibility Cloak' Created Using Crystals · · Score: 1

    I suspect I'd need to do something about my adam's apple, bald head, beard, chest and back hair as well. I even have hairy toes -- I suspect I'm part hobbit.

  23. Re:The /. crowd is no better on Designer Tweets Egyptian Riots Due to His New Line Coming Out · · Score: 1

    Simply because I hate to see people profiting from being douchebags -- it encourages other people to be douchebags, and we've got far more douchebags than we need already.

  24. Re:"Tear drop shaped structures" on Giant Archaeological Trove Found Via Google Earth · · Score: 1

    My point being, it's not the pile of stones that is significant, it's what is (possibly) inside. Should they be carefully excavated? Of course. But I'm not going to get excited until they find something of archeological value buried underneath those stones. Some of them may very well be the equivalent of Capone's Vaults.

  25. Re:Very mixed feelings here... on Giant Archaeological Trove Found Via Google Earth · · Score: 2

    The point is that insulting someone else's religion serves no constructive purpose. You obviously are not going to change their mind or educate them by doing so. It can only serve to hurt their feelings and stoke the fires of hatred between different faiths -- so why do it?
