  1. Re:Is a JPEG at 0% compression a RAW image? on Reuters Bans RAW Photo Format (petapixel.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    What's a JPEG at -90% compression? Whoa. Mind blown.

  2. Encryption! on Police Find Paris Attackers Coordinate Via Unencrypted SMS (techdirt.com) · · Score: 1

    We need to encrypt everything. Leaving SMS encrypted leaves us open to terrorist attacks.
    And we need licencing for SMS use too!

  3. Why not just tell them they'll get to read other people's gossip without them knowing?!

  4. Cost vs Value on Value of University Degree Continues To Decline (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 0

    That's interesting, because the cost of a degree keeps going up.

  5. Who? on How Hollywood's Hedy Helped Heighten Handhelds (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    Who is Hedy?

  6. I've been watching.... on Ask Slashdot: How To Determine If One Is On a Watchlist? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've had you on my watchlist for the last few months because your apartment is across the road from mine and you don't close your bedroom curtains at night. In case it matters, you're in the 10:25-10:35 time slot.

  7. Enough of this BattleBots chitchat. I want to hear more about Family Feud!

  8. Re:Does anyone else get tire of the word "Could" on Ocean-Mapping Robots Could Help Uncover Mysteries of the Deep Blue (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep, I was about to post that. We all know that robots WILL do this, so I'm not sure why the author is being so conservative.

  9. What is this really about? on Google Drops Desktop Voice Search In Chrome (google.com) · · Score: 1

    This is so much more about physical keyboard vs touch pad than it is about voice recognition.

  10. There's one thing DIY wins at... on Does It Make Sense To Hand Make Printed Circuit Boards? · · Score: 1

    ... and it's known as time.
    You can't do SMD easily with a breadboard.
    And you can't have every breakout board at your fingertips with the crazy packages they invent on a daily basis.
    Sometimes custome copper is a necessity.

  11. Re:DELETING MY ACCOUNT on Quantum Gravity Will Be Just Fine Without String Theory · · Score: 3, Funny

    I already have. Inadvertently. Through Slashdot.

  12. DELETING MY ACCOUNT on Quantum Gravity Will Be Just Fine Without String Theory · · Score: 0

    Bye Slashdot.
    I'm sick of the videos and silly new poll positioning and STARTS WITH A BANG.

    Any recommendations for other tech news sites?

  13. Porn on An Early Look At Android M's Multi-Window Mode For Tablets · · Score: 1

    This is a porn-driven OS enhancement, right?

  14. Re:Photo on China Unveils World's First Facial Recognition ATM · · Score: 1

    I *don't* want them to have my signature.
    My signature changes everythime I use it. It's not secure. Maybe if I was signing things more than once a year that would change.
    Compared to signing I might as well use a one-digit code.

  15. Re:Photo on China Unveils World's First Facial Recognition ATM · · Score: 1

    Classic slippery slop argument.
    They already have photos, so what's a few more. Don't fight the slide.

    Maybe we should be shocked about the fact they take photos of us already.

  16. Photo on China Unveils World's First Facial Recognition ATM · · Score: 1

    So I guess they'll need a photo of me then, right?
    How about some of my DNA, hair and skin samples, and fingerprints too? Store it all on your super secure networks.

  17. Good Luck on Hackers Can Track Subway Riders' Movements By Smartphone Accelerometer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here in Melbourne, Australia our train system has a unique movement footprint.
    Accellerating and breaking for no reason, trains that skip stations or terminate at random ones; this baby's got it all. Good luck decoding the position from that.

  18. I really hope... on Daimler and Qualcomm To Develop In-Car Tech, Wireless Charging · · Score: 3, Funny

    I really hope this leads to another wireless charging standard.

  19. Re:Starts with a Bang on Universe's Dark Ages May Not Be Invisible After All · · Score: 1, Interesting

    There are so many of these crappy articles every day that I've just started ignoring anything that "starts with a bang".
    It's such a shame what has become of slashdot lately.

  20. iPhone 6 on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Dumb Phone? · · Score: 0

    So dumb.

  21. Re:49 on Musical Organ Created From 49 Floppy Disk Drives · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but it still seems like a strange number to me. Not octal enough. :)

  22. 49 on Musical Organ Created From 49 Floppy Disk Drives · · Score: 1

    Is 49 the number of GPIO pins on an Arduino Mega or something?

  23. Re:medium.com on Gravitational Anomalies Beneath Mountains Point To Isostasy of Earth's Crust · · Score: 2

    Exactly what I was thinking.
    Why are they posting every single article on Slashdot? Do they have a deal with the owners?!

  24. Re:Harder: self-stabilizing parachute, or balance on The Brainteaser Elon Musk Asks New SpaceX Engineers · · Score: 1

    So you're saying he should only accept people who have played a bit of Kerbal Space Program?

  25. I remember when. on Jason Scott of Textfiles.com Wants Your AOL & Shovelware CDs · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I remember when we used to receive DVDs with new hardware. That was almost a week ago now, when I purchased a new modem.
