  1. Rebooting on Why Your Phone Gets OTA Updates But Your Car Doesn't · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When you're running late for work, you don't want to wait for your car to reboot to install a software update.

  2. Still no Helpdesk Day on How Are You Celebrating National Sysadmin Day? · · Score: 1

    I'll recognize National Sysadmin Day, when the man approved National Helpdesk Day. We're the front lines, in the trenches!

  3. Robot rights? on How Should the Law Think About Robots? · · Score: 1

    A robot cannot demand legal rights unless it is programmed to demand legal rights.

  4. Schmucker? on Are Some of North Korea's Long-Range Missiles Fakes? · · Score: 1
    "'At first I thought, 'Wow, they finally managed it,' says Markus Schiller, an aerospace engineer working for Schmucker Technologie, a German company that consults on security issues."

    Who's the schmuck now?

  5. Degaussers are fun on When Your Data Absolutely, Positively has to be Destroyed (Video) · · Score: 1

    We have one of the hard drive degaussers in my company. It's like the trap cleaner in Ghostbusters!

  6. Re:It was called RSS Reader on What's the Best RSS Reader Not Named Google Reader? · · Score: 1

    It didn't work well past Windows XP.

  7. Finally...lyrics on Capcom Remastering DuckTales Game · · Score: 1

    I could never make out the last lines of the theme song for years! Thank you, Capcom!

  8. Re:It was called RSS Reader on What's the Best RSS Reader Not Named Google Reader? · · Score: 1

    I just started using it, thanks!

  9. It was called RSS Reader on What's the Best RSS Reader Not Named Google Reader? · · Score: 2

    My favorite used to be RSS Reader (rssreader.com), but it hasn't been updated lately. Basic simple interface: List of feeds on the left, headlines on the right. That's all I want.

  10. Mom knows the answer on Ask Slashdot: How Best To Set Up a Parent's PC? · · Score: 1

    You could visit your parents more often!!!

  11. Re:You used to be able to on Is It Possible To Erase Yourself From the Internet? · · Score: 1

    How come OJ Simpson never did that?

  12. No first class, but.... on US Postal Service Discontinuing Saturday Mail Delivery · · Score: 1

    Does this mean they'll keep delivering junk mail on Saturdays?

  13. Wolverine? on Researchers Study Mystery of the Toddler Who Won't Grow · · Score: 1

    Maybe she's Wolverine, and her immune system is attacking aging as an illness, but it kicked in at age 5 instead of adulthood.

  14. Re:Mannequin Attack on Anonymous Files Petition To Make DDoS Legal Form of Protest · · Score: 1

    Reminds of the time some people drove side by side down a California highway during rush hour, going exactly the 55MPH speed limit.

  15. Re:Mannequin Attack on Anonymous Files Petition To Make DDoS Legal Form of Protest · · Score: 1

    Dey takin our jerbs!

  16. Patton Oswalt on 30 Days Is Too Long: Animated Rant About Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    All I saw was a 20 minute Patton Oswalt impression.

  17. Re:Prior art? on Microsoft Granted Patent For Augmented Reality Glasses · · Score: 1

    I don't think depiction in fiction counts as prior art. If so, by this point Apple should be owned by the Roddenberry Estate.

  18. I don't see it on Crowdsourcing Concerts — the Future of Live Music? · · Score: 2

    I'm not optimistic on this working for say an arena or stadium concert, only the club circuit. Event promotion has a lot more than just selling tickets and bringing in a band. You have to advertise the act to sell the premium seats. If the show does not go on, the advertising money is gone. And it's difficult to get any kind of event liability insurance with a calendar date of "maybe" or an expected crowd of "it all depends."

  19. Apple devices? on Apple To Stream a Product Launch Live For the First Time · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I was going to ask sarcastically if any device can stream it, or just Apple devices. Then I finished reading the article.

  20. The secret to long life? on Lonesome George Is Dead At 100 · · Score: 1

    Clean livin'. Clean livin'.

  21. Previous /. article on same topic on Quiet Victories Won In the Loudness Wars · · Score: 1
  22. License and registration please? on Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times · · Score: 5, Funny

    Your other license and registration please.

  23. Choose Your Own Adventure on Ask Slashdot: Best Science-Fiction/Fantasy For Kids? · · Score: 2

    There's a few sci-fi themed Choose Your Own Adventure books, I bet you can find those easily online.

  24. Yakov says... on New Samsung TV Watches You Watching It · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, joke tells you!

  25. Pics of the wife n kids on Will Mobile Wallets Replace Their Traditional Counterparts? · · Score: 1

    It won't replace cash, credit, or ID anytime soon, but it's definitely replaced the old accordion fold out of a zillion photos of the kids.
