  1. Canned goods on You've Got 25 Years Until UNIX Time Overflows · · Score: 1

    Going to start buying them now.

  2. Re:Good on Brazil and Peru Dispute .Amazon TLD · · Score: 1

    Safari does this now too, it is now the rule rather than the exception...

  3. Good retail location? on Ask Slashdot: How To Make a DVD-Rental Store More Relevant? · · Score: 1

    If it is a good retail location, look at storing the DVDs in a more efficient manner to make room for other products to sell. I would look at what is missing in the area of the store and see if you could offer that as well. Maybe serve good espresso, and make room for a few tables if it is allowed by zoning laws.

  4. No problem on Australia's Biggest Telco Sold Routers With Hardcoded Passwords · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is why I always change my password to "secret" right away.

  5. Re:lawsuit time? on Canadian Teenager Arrested For Photographing Mall Takedown · · Score: 1

    a) hire the right lawyer
    b) enjoy your new mall

  6. Note to self: on US Air Force's 1950s Supersonic Flying Saucer Declassified · · Score: 4, Funny

    Invest in buying more shares in tin foil companies.

  7. Re:Wow, I guess. on A Honda Civic With no Gas Tank (Video) · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen, most of the cost will be to buy the batteries.

  8. Re:There's a reason for that. on Beer Is Cheaper In the US Than Anywhere Else In the World · · Score: 1

    There are lots of really good craft & micro brewers in the US.

  9. Still not enough on Accelerator Driven Treatment of Nuclear Waste · · Score: 1

    While I think this would be great to deal with the waste that already exists, I think for budgeting 200 years is longer than anyone is willing to think anyways, so it won't make much of a difference to the financial viability.

  10. Be interesting to see how it goes on Ubuntu Will Now Have Amazon Ads Pre-Installed · · Score: 1

    Personally, I haven't upgraded yet so I haven't seen this. I wouldn't mind myself as long as:

    A) doesn't do any "pre-caching" or use any bandwidth unless feature is opened.
    B) easy to uninstall
    C) doesn't come with the server version when you do have a GUI.
    If Ubuntu violates any of the above I'll be using other distros from now on.

  11. Soon to be at a Walmart near you on China Unveils Yet Another Stealth Fighter · · Score: 2, Funny

    For 9,999,9987

  12. Re:Only while in motion on App Can Prevent Users From Texting While Driving · · Score: 1

    Often kidnapers aren't too happy about you talking on your cellphone... texting can be done discreetly.

  13. Re:Stealing $30, Paying $675,000.... on New Judge Assigned To Tenenbaum Case Upholds $675k Verdict · · Score: 1

    Take the headphone jack out of the computer and cellphone, no iPods allowed.

  14. Re:privacy? on The Rapid Rise of License Plate Readers · · Score: 5, Interesting
  15. Re:If the data is being "wirelessly" transmitted.. on Patient Just Wants To See Data From His Implanted Medical Device · · Score: 1

    This might be the reason they don't want to provide that information. Security through obscurity you know.

  16. Re:Next week.... on How To Watch Internet TV Across International Borders · · Score: 1

    Wait, and all this time I've been talking into the mouse? THANK YOU!

  17. Re:Another interesting aspect of the decision on Embedding of Copyright Infringing Video Not (Necessarily) a Crime · · Score: 1

    I have to say it kind of makes sense, since you could easily have a pop-under window start to stream a video behind your browser, you'd have no idea you were watching illegal content. Of course even if you did see the video, unless you have memorized every copyrighted work in the history of mankind, it would be impossible to know if you are breaking the law or not.

  18. Re:Immunosupressants? on Two More HIV Patients Now Virus-Free Thanks To Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, you do have to take immunosuppressant drugs for bone marrow transplant will reject it. Probably also steroids such as Prednisone as well.

  19. Re:gun safe? on How a 3-Year-Old Can Open a Gun Safe · · Score: 1

    "From an absolutely practical point of view, a handgun is about the worst possible firearm you could use to hunt game" Tell me that again after lugging a heavy rifle on a 30 mile plus hiking/hunting trip like my family used to go on.

  20. Re:Classy on Jack Daniels Shows How To Write a Cease and Desist Letter · · Score: 1

    I don't even drink and I'm going to buy a bottle to support them (make a good gift for someone)

  21. Re:Looks like it's time to negotiate OEM pricing w on Dell To Offer Ubuntu Laptops Again · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Normally OEM licences are often on a 5 year term, so this would make sense timing wise.

  22. Agreed on Modest Proposal For Stopping Hackers: Get Them Girlfriends · · Score: 5, Funny

    Probably the most effective idea yet. A girlfriend is a lot more fun than a computer, at that age anyway.

  23. The real question on Record Setting 500 Trillion-Watt Laser Shot Achieved · · Score: 2

    How did they get the ant to stay still why they blast it?

  24. Re:No, it'll just be an OPTION on Will Speed Limits Inhibit Autonomous Car Adoption? · · Score: 1

    That assumes there is a passable route through a group of people, which there often isn't.

  25. Re:Thats what virtual machines are for. on Criminals Distribute Infected USB Sticks In Parking Lot · · Score: 1

    This is a good analogy, our bodies even have false positives, they are called "auto immune diseases" when the body attacks itself.
