  1. April Fools! on Google Releases Open Source Plans For Cardboard V2 Virtual Reality Viewer · · Score: 1

    Every time I hear about the cardboard Virtual Reality Viewer I think it must be April 1st... Really not a bad idea though.

  2. Re:I hate to break it to the author... on Ahmed Mohamed, His Clock, and the Curious Turn of Events · · Score: 3, Informative

    As a kid I did take apart a old, large TV, and there was sparks, shocks and the smell of burning flesh even though it was unplugged (capacitors...)

  3. Re:This problem really shouldn't exist. on NFL Commentators Still Calling Microsoft's Surface Tablets "iPads" · · Score: 1

    Microsoft should have insisted that each one says Surface in large letters printed on it somewhere, branding 101...

  4. Re:Damage was already done on Obama Invites Texas Teen To White House After "Bomb" Clock Incident At School · · Score: 2

    Even if he never brings another invention to school, hopefully meeting the president will inspire him to keep inventing at home at least.

  5. Re:and what stops on 10 Major Automakers Agree To Include Automatic Emergency Braking On New Vehicles · · Score: 1

    They could flash the brake lights which would provide some added safety.

  6. Re: Go after China on Researcher: The US Owes the World $4 Trillion For Trashing the Climate · · Score: 1

    That would be a great idea. Also one for poor working conditions. It would start to put other countries on a fair playing field.

  7. Re:Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians: idiots on Why Biking Injuries and Deaths Are Spiking In the US · · Score: 1

    Very true. I also love to drive, ride my bike and walk and I think those who do all three can see things clearly.

  8. Re:Doing the math... on Four Men Arrested Over Million-Dollar MacBook Heist · · Score: 1

    Packaging, so they don't get damaged.

  9. Re:What could go wrong? on Robot Submarine Poisons Sea Stars To Save Coral Reefs · · Score: 1

    You should have worn a helmet...

  10. Google Fibre on Comcast To Charge $30 For Unlimited Data Over 300GB Cap · · Score: 1
  11. My Belkin router is spamming me... on Bugs In Belkin Routers Allow DNS Spoofing, Credential Theft · · Score: 1
  12. Dual Sim phone on Ask Slashdot: Best Data Provider When Traveling In the US? · · Score: 1

    Get a dual Sim phone. Then you can keep your number working and pick the cheapest provider for data. Most countries have reasonable tablet rates. You can get a cheap moto g or dual blu phone. I have a nice d6633 Sony xperia z3 dual Sim. I get 10 gigs of data per month pretty cheap.

  13. Early April fools maybe?

  14. Https-everywhere on AT&T Hotspots Now Injecting Ads · · Score: 2
  15. Re:Make it out of ice on Epic Mega Bridge To Connect America With Russia Gets Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure our climate is going the other way...

  16. Luxury car market on Will Autonomous Cars Be the Insurance Industry's Napster Moment? · · Score: 1

    Personally, I could see a big change in the Luxury car market. I don't think there will be as much demand for high powered cars, as people will be more focused on working on computers or watching TV while cars drive themselves. I could see and increase in demand for luxury interior of cars, as we'll have more time to appreciate the things inside our cars while we're not driving.

  17. Detected a possible crash in the next 6 seconds.. on Allstate Patents Physiological Data Collection · · Score: 4, Funny

    Detected a possible crash in the next 6 seconds - your insurance has been cancelled. Have a great day.

  18. Re:Ha? on DuckDuckGo Sees Massive Growth In Post-Snowden World · · Score: 1

    I don't think Apple would care about the privacy part, but they may buy a company which has a good backend crawler.

  19. Re: Amen brother! on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Search Engines Left That Don't Try To Think For Me? · · Score: 1

    Thanks Larry

  20. Try Sequoiam - just does search and no annoying ads or directions to bars and crap...

  21. Re: carsickness on Will Robot Cars Need Windows? · · Score: 1

    come on now, driving with kids is always an adventue too: you never know who will poop, puke or start screaming first.

  22. Trust company? on The Challenge of Web Hosting Once You're Dead · · Score: 1

    Seems like the sort of thing a trust/lawyer company would be good at. They can keep the bills paid, and hiring an IT person to fix anything that breaks. Probably cost a fortune though.

  23. Re:Renewing the domain name? No on The Challenge of Web Hosting Once You're Dead · · Score: 1

    You can renew for 10 years, and some registers will allow you to leave a credit in the account and set auto-renew. That should last until the register business goes tits-up at least.

  24. Re:Get over it on No Justice For Victims of Identity Theft · · Score: 3, Informative

    They tend to "lock down" credit once your identity has been stolen it is unlikely to happen again anytime soon. Totally agree with you on the space violated thing though.

  25. Re:Wow. Just wow. on LA Schools Seeking Refund Over Botched iPad Plan · · Score: 1

    Why bother to test them, it's not their money just taxpayers.
