  1. The smartest ones? on US Intelligence Wants Tools To Tell: Who's the Smartest of Them All? · · Score: 3, Funny

    The smartest ones are those who don't reveal their true intelligence to the security agencies.

  2. Re:Ewww. on Want To Work Without Prying Eyes? Try Wearing a Body Sock · · Score: 1

    Yeah, all that face sweat and lice would be horrible if it weren't.

  3. Ooooooh... Custom Paint Job! on Unboxing a Cray XC30 'Magnus' Petaflops Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Half the money is in the custom paint job.

  4. First? on Raspberry Pi-Compatible Development Board Released · · Score: 1

    How did this take so long? Why is this the first?

  5. Nope! on Will Your Next Car Be Covered In Morphing Dimples? · · Score: 1

    Nope. What else would you like to know about my next car purchase?

  6. This is all moot. on Watch Dogs Graphics and Gameplay: PC Vs. Xbox One, With Surprising Results · · Score: 2

    The game is rubbish, so who cares which hardware it runs best on?!

  7. You make me feel like dancing. on Are Glowing, Solar Smart Roads the Future? · · Score: 1

    Roads? Doubtful. But everyone will want multicoloured versions for their new mixed-purpose driveway/dancefloor!

  8. Re:Can't Tell Them Apart on Ask Slashdot: Minimum Programming Competence In Order To Get a Job? · · Score: 1

    I'm just grateful we have this well defined fraction-system for quantifying programming skill.

  9. Pronounced shis-to-so-MY-a-sis on Norwegian Infectious Disease Specialists Have New Theory On HIV In Africa · · Score: 1

    Thanks for explaining that it's pronounced exactly as anyone would expect from simply reading the name.

  10. A year too late. on Ask Slashdot: Computer Science Freshman, Too Soon To Job Hunt? · · Score: 2

    Should have skipped university and gone straight for a job.

  11. Unread.... on $200 For a Bound Textbook That You Can't Keep? · · Score: 1

    If I only possessed my textbooks while studying at university, I would never have had the chance to read any of them.
    University projects and laboratory work consumed any time I had for reading books, and the lecture notes sufficed.
    Where the textbooks *have* come in handy is for revising topics years after graduating.

  12. Re:Useless on Finally, Hi-Def Streaming Video of the ISS's View of Earth · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not just any grey square, but a high definition grey square!

  13. Re:Dear Television, on What It's Like To Be the Scientific Consultant For The Big Bang Theory · · Score: 1

    The laugh track is the worst! I can't handle it these days. I don't need to be told when to laugh, or to have noise to make me feel less uncomfortable laughing.

  14. Re:lesson on Heartbleed Coder: Bug In OpenSSL Was an Honest Mistake · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or do all the most exciting commits happen at NYE parties?

  15. Symmetrical around which axis? on USB Reversable Cable Images Emerge · · Score: 1

    How about making the connector's conductors co-axial so that you can plug it in on any angle?

  16. How about the gallbladder? on Astronauts' Hearts Change Shape In Space · · Score: 1

    What shape did the gallbladder become?

  17. So I guess we'll never know... on UN Court: Japanese Whaling "Not Scientific" · · Score: 2

    So I guess we'll never know if a whale can survive a harpoon to the cerebral cortex. This is a dark day for science.

  18. So it's a little different to Steam then? on Xbox One Reputation System Penalizes Gamers Who Behave Badly · · Score: 2

    You mean I can't join a game of Counter Strike: Source, team flash someone for 27 rounds until an admin shows up, then quit, change my name, rejoin and repeat? What's the point of playing then?

  19. Re: There's a shortage all right.. on The Myth of the Science and Engineering Shortage · · Score: 2

    I've got an idea... Let's pretend there's a shortage and get thousands of kids to study Eng and the fins the pay is minimal due to the influx. Oh... wait....

  20. Re: sounds implausible to me on Research Suggests Pulling All-Nighters Can Cause Permanent Damage · · Score: 1

    But never in human history has the brain been more important. Perhaps a little damage back hundreds of years equates to a lot of damege in the modern era. Sleep deprivation to catch extra food at the expense of brain power may have been advantageous but brain wastage to play that new game may not be so beneficial.

  21. Influenza Vaccine on Google Flu Trends Gets It Wrong Three Years Running · · Score: 1

    In Australia recently they've been pushing people to get vaccinated against influenza for the coming winter because of the reported rise in flu cases during the recent North American winter, especially for the 18 - 60 age bracket. I hope they weren't using Google as their source.

  22. Can't kill him with bullets? on What If the Next Presidential Limo Was a Tesla? · · Score: 1

    Can't kill him with bullets? Kill him with fire instead!

    ... when my lab supervisor told me I didn't have what it takes to be a biologist and gave me a B-.

  24. Does Apple Maps count? on F-Secure: Android Accounted For 97% of All Mobile Malware In 2013 · · Score: 1

    Surely the software wasn't that bad without malicious intent.

  25. Consumer Product on The Ever So Unlikely Tale of How ARM Came To Rule the World · · Score: 1

    Do hardware manufacturers count as "consumers"?
