  1. Those were the days... on When Flying Was a Thrill · · Score: 1

    "When sex was safe and flying was dangerous"

  2. Re:We've had it in britain for years on The Rapid Rise of License Plate Readers · · Score: 1

    11.34kg butane cylinders, is it?

  3. Nice on Nokia Researcher Puts Firefox OS On Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Better than the phones they been making the past few years.

  4. Chinese shitbag communist party hackers on Could You Hack Into Mars Curiosity Rover? · · Score: -1, Troll

    To think that they only got to where they are due to the greed of Western companies sidestepping the workforce in their own countries and outsourcing to China. Then they start hacking us, an ungrateful bunch of savages if there ever was one.

  5. Ukranian shitbag government on Demonoid Domain Names Up For Grabs · · Score: 1, Troll

    Shutting the site down as a "present" to Obama. Such a lousy thing to do, Obama's family probably used Demonoid

  6. Re:No electricity... on Indian Government Mulls Giving Away Mobile Phones To the Poor · · Score: 1

    Stationary bike generator. One person peddling should be able to charge at least 50 phones at a time

  7. Re:Use a proper XMPP service on Google Scrambles To Restore Google Talk From Outage · · Score: 1

    It will go down when someone in the collitch discovers i'm running it off their servers

  8. Use a proper XMPP service on Google Scrambles To Restore Google Talk From Outage · · Score: 2

    Or run your own prosody server, not the slightest bit hard to set up or maintain. To hell with this Google cloud based nonsense

  9. Re:No HDCP == Good. on Budget 27" IPS Displays From Korea Are For Real · · Score: 1

    Middle of the suitcase, surrounded by clothes. Or like someone else said, still in the box

  10. No HDCP == Good. on Budget 27" IPS Displays From Korea Are For Real · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They can take their huddlecup DRM and shove it up their arse, do not want precious silicon I'm paying good money wasted on features aiming to restrict me and make the MPAA more money.

    I'm glad I found this thread because I might well be going to Korea in september so I'll bring one of these monitors back with me and not pay for shipping. Once again "fuck you" to HDCP and its supporters.

  11. Re:No one writes software without tools on Ask Slashdot: Value of Website Design Tools vs. Hand Coding? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wish more websites were very basic. Too much Web 2.0 clutter in most of them now, that includes /.

    Gopher is a sigh of relief vs. Web 2.0

  12. Re:Justification of Apathy on The Nation Is Losing Its Toolbox · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Prefab windows might be reliable but they look bland and unoriginal. Just like all the ExtJS/jQuery/Web 2.0 effects and widgets you see these days.

    If you want something out of the ordinary you'll have to make it yourself or pay through the nose for someone else to.

  13. Re:Cables double as space heater on USB 3.0 100W Power Standard Seeks To End Proprietary Chargers · · Score: 2

    Great a proprietary cable made for 20c in China with a Monster label slapped on and sold for "naddy-nah-naddy-nah" with a small IC to prevent others making them.

    What exactly do they hope to run at 20v DC that will draw 5A? I have a bench power supply that can just about manage that, the only thing i need more than ~15V for is bending the lead of a pencil

  14. Restricted boot on MIPS Technologies Porting Android 4.1 to MIPS Architecture · · Score: 1

    It's not x86 so it's not safe from mandatory M$ restricted boot.

  15. Re:dear web browser developers on Mozilla Downshifting Development of Thunderbird E-Mail Client · · Score: 1

    Haha, Excellent!

  16. Re:nice on ACTA Rejected By European Parliament · · Score: 1

    Same could happen with ACTA. They re-write a few lines that make little difference, leave the DRM provisions intact and call it ACTA II, or give it a new name altogether like they did with Lisbon (formerly called the European constitution).

    It's the age-old problem with representative 'democracy' that the commission, or the power that be get an unlimited number of tries to pass a certain unpopular piece of legislation. They can re-package, re-brand it, attach it to another law, or if necessary water it down a bit and then create a new law at a later date that strengthens it to what they originally intended.

  17. Or you could just take an ordinary train on Autonomous Road Train Project Completes First Public Road Test · · Score: 3, Insightful

    With mechanical linkages and a track instead of this complicated virtual 'pretend' train

  18. Re:Why a headset? on Cisco All But Kills Cius Tablet · · Score: 1

    Bluetooth headsets. I fooking hate them

  19. Did it support PoE? on Cisco All But Kills Cius Tablet · · Score: 1

    .. or run off a 48 volt power supply?

  20. To unload more than 1,000 pounds of cargo on Astronauts Open Dragon Capsule Hatch · · Score: 1

    Would that be hard to shift in 0 gravity, could it be done by one person in one go?

  21. Re:DNT can only be implemented in the *browser* on Twitter Confirms Support For Do Not Track · · Score: 4, Insightful

    DNT gives sites the opportunity to *let on* they don't track people.

    You'd have to be naive as fcuk to believe what some company claims to do in their legalese wall of text privacy policy has much bearing on what actually goes on.

  22. Not even a real planet! on Researchers Model Pluto's Atmosphere, Find 225 Mph Winds · · Score: 1

    So no longer worthy of research, declassifying Pluto as a planet was supposed to make life easier so people can focus their energy on other things

  23. Ah well... on Australia's Largest Police Force Accused of Widespread Piracy · · Score: 0, Troll

    Paid software is dead anyway

  24. Which will last longer on IKEA Announces Furniture With Integrated TV, Speakers, and Blu-ray · · Score: 0

    The poor quality chipboard furniture or the Chinese speakers they're putting in them? It's hard to know with this combination

  25. Can't wait for the civillian applications on Pentagon Orders Dual-Focus Contact Lens Prototypes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Download an app to give sex offenders a red status bar above their heads. Version 2.0 (beta) gives suspected social outcasts, as in people without Facebook accounts an orange status bar.
