  1. Re:So what? on Australian Politician Caught Viewing Porn · · Score: 1

    Frankly at least this guy is doing something with his time Yes, but as a tax payer, I would resent having to pay for the treatment for his Repetitive Stress Injuries!

  2. Correction on Steve Jobs Tries To Sneak Shurikens On a Plane · · Score: 1

    Since the story is almost certainly false, my last statement (regarding Jobs being too stupid to figure that out) is not appropriate and I would like to retract it.

  3. Re:Jump off the racing horse, get on the donkey on Torvalds Becomes an American Citizen · · Score: 1

    I was going to say "But Finland has much higher taxes!" Then I checked... the highest tax bracket there is 30%. The current highest tax bracket in the US is 35%, about to go up to 39%. Damn you, you socialist countries with your lower taxes!

    or the fact that we're ALL immigrants Speak for yourself, paleface!

    Technically, if you want to go back far enough, we're all African. Anybody living anywhere else is an immigrant from Africa.

  5. Nothing to see here, move along. on Steve Jobs Tries To Sneak Shurikens On a Plane · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Jobs does have the right to take weapons onto his private plane. However, if he is boarding his private plane from a secured area, he does not have the right to carry the weapons through security, as they could then be transferred to someone else not boarding his plane! The fact that Jobs is too stupid to figure that out does not bode well for the future of Apple...

    What?!? There is no such thing as 'Silicon Heaven'? Then where do all the calculators go when they die?

    Wait... you mean leprechauns aren't real?!? Then this red-headed midget who said he'd lead me to his pot of gold if I let him have butt secks with me was... lying? Oh shit!

  8. I've complained about this before! on The Advent of Religious Search Engines · · Score: 1

    I don't want a search engine that filters out all the porn-related results... I want a search engine that filters out all the non-porn related results! Why should I have to wade through all that G-rated crap to get to my delicious, tasty porn?

    Yeah, but you'd be a fuckin' rich puddle of primordial ooze!

    Yes, current theory (e.g. The Twins Paradox indicates you wouldn't age at all while traveling at the speed of light. Of course, steering is also a bit difficult while traveling at that speed, and your kinetic energy would be astronomical...

  10. Re:What about here? on Microsoft To Issue Blanket License To NGOs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can you cite evidence of any "dissident" groups in the US that have been busted for software piracy? This is a case of Microsoft trying to "do the right thing", they should be applauded for their efforts, not criticized.

  11. Re:TFA says range is 3-6 feet on Dept. of Homeland Security To Test Iris Scanners · · Score: 1

    3 to 6 feet?!? Now every tinfoil hat will have to come with dark sunglasses!

  13. What does it say about your company... on Microsoft Helps Adobe Block PDF Zero-Day Exploit · · Score: -1, Troll

    When Micosoft does something that isn't evil, it's considered news?

    Wow! Your mastery of one-handed typing on a touchscreen is impressive I can't type that well on my G1 even using both hands!!

  17. How far we have fallen on Frustrated Reporter Quits After Slow News Day · · Score: 1

    In 34 years we've gone from I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more! to "I'm bored as hell and I'm not going to take it any more... sigh."

  18. Hmm... on Facebook Surpasses Google For Users' Online Time · · Score: 1

    Facebook is blocked entirely on our corporate firewall. I wonder how much of a productivity gain we get from that. Little do the admins know that they should be blocking slashdot as well!

  19. New excuse for drunk-dialing your ex... on Tap Tech Brings Touch To Dumb Phones · · Score: 3, Funny

    "I dropped my phone, and the microphone-based touch detection interpreted as calling your number!"

  20. Sounds like a dump idea at first... on Tap Tech Brings Touch To Dumb Phones · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But with multiple microphones, sounds will come in out of phase. It should be possible to compute the delay time of the signal coming in on each microphone, which when combined with knowledge of the speed of sound should allow it triangulate the position of the tap. Yes, with a single microphone, this would be an abhorrent kludge. With multiple microphones, it works like the audio gunshot detection systems already in use in some cities.

  21. Just what we needed on King's Dark Tower Series To Be Adapted For Film, TV · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    A TV series with a plot line even more convoluted and confusing than Lost, with the added twist that you have to pay to see 2 movies to follow it! Am I the only one whose reaction to reading the books was "King, you REALLY need to cut down on the drugs!"?

  22. Big deal on World's First Transcontinental Anesthesia · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sadly, the field of teledildonics is still lagging behind...

    You'll never see actual wireless, longer range, power until we discover some way of getting around that pesky inverse square law thing.

    It's a shore (beach) where they have football jerseys. It's also shorthand for 8 people who share half a brain.
