  1. Re:Repost on The Linux Backdoor Attempt of 2003 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but that was before all this NSA shit. Times have changed!

  2. Test Team on FAA May Let You Use Electronic Devices During Airplane Takeoff and Landing Soon · · Score: 5, Insightful

    For the last ten years I've been part of an unofficial and unpaid test team that has been examining how safe it is to use mobile phones and similar transceivers during take-off and landing. My planes have never had problems.

  3. Don't use the cloud! on Ask Slashdot: Cloud Service On a Budget? · · Score: 1

    The NSA will steal your photos. Unless your 'vision based company' is doing some shifty security work for the NSA. In that case, you're fine and have a ridiculous budget so this post doesn't apply to you.

  4. The only US city to make this ranking is.... on Only One US City Makes "Top Ten Internet Cities Worldwide" List · · Score: 1

    ...listed right at the end of this sentence, and is the final word of the entire article so that you have to wait until the very end before you will know that the very city that was listed on the list is almost about to be written in a few more words and it is Seattle.

  5. Other wish. on Bradley Manning Wants To Live As a Woman · · Score: 1

    (S)he probably walso ants to live as a woman that isn't in prison, but we can't always get what we want.

  6. Dupe? on Modeling How Programmers Read Code · · Score: 3, Interesting
  7. Public-Private Partnerships on NASA Mulling Joint Lunar Missions With Commercial Enterprises · · Score: 1

    Are we really still thinking that these things will ever be cost-effective?

  8. Re:Software Defined Radio & WWVB? on WWVB Celebrates 50 Years of Broadcasting Time · · Score: 2

    Exactly what I was wondering. I think you'd need a special devices or add-on module capable of receiving such low frequency signals.

  9. Of all the fluids they could use, blood is one of them! Who'd have thunk it?!
    I've heard they can also detect gender with a single drop of semen.

  10. Print Everything! on Vint Cerf: Data That's Here Today May Be Gone Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Print Everything!
    Problem solved.

  11. Re:Arduino on Ask Slashdot: How To Begin Simple Robotics As a Hobby? · · Score: 1

    I think you might mean that it's great for a "NON-software guy". Arduino makes things easy for people without software experience!

  12. Tell me it's a source of strength for my... on With Sales Down, Whale Meat Flogged As Source of Strength · · Score: 1, Troll

    ... rod. Then the whole of Asia will want it.

  13. Great Steps! on Scientists Recover Wooly Mammoth Blood · · Score: 1

    This is a great step towards satisfying the undying dream of a free-roaming, snow-loving, extinct animal: that its species may one day be resurrected and placed in a zoo during a period of ever-increasing global temperatures.

  14. What can they do? on Microsoft Files Dispute Against Current Owner of XboxOne.com · · Score: 1

    They could probably try checking the domain is free before naming their flagship product. Oh, and they could also have not named the Xbox 3 'Xbox One'.

  15. 'So-called'? on Working Handgun Printed On a Sub-$2,000 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    Why is it referred to as the 'so-called Liberator'? That's its name.

    The article above about the new video console would have been a more logical place to use the term.
    For instance: "The so-called 'Xbox One' has been announced, which is technically the third Xbox console."

  16. Will it be ready? on Congress Wants Federal Government To Sell 1755-1780 MHz Spectrum Band · · Score: 1

    Will the next show about a murderer that only kills 'bad people' be ready by then?!

  17. Re:YouTube has ads?!? on Microsoft YouTube App Strips Ads; Adds Download · · Score: 2

    Do ad-blockers provide false feedback to the advertisers? Does it download the content and then not display it?
    I only ask because I have a desire to:
    a) Provide money to the content provider (YouTube).
    b) Confuse marketers (scum).

  18. YouTube has ads?!? on Microsoft YouTube App Strips Ads; Adds Download · · Score: 1

    Never seen one. The only explanation that seems plausible is that they're hidden in the time between opening YouTube link, muting the sound, switching to another browser tab, occupying yourself for about thirty seconds, and then switching back; you know, the standard process everyone follows.

  19. Man to ignore video ads on Facebook To Introduce Video Ads · · Score: 1

    Nuff Said

  20. Tentacles on How To Promote Stage Comedy In a Geeky Way? · · Score: 0

    A few weeks ago the geeks at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival advertised by standing on the corner of the street with a fat rubber tentacle.
    Hell, even the girl I was dating at the time wanted to find out more about tentacle rape.

  21. Oh great! on Shape-Shifting Mobile Devices Unveiled · · Score: 1

    I just love it when companies add points-of-fai... sorry, I mean 'mechanical features' to my electronic devices.

  22. Overlooked on Space Junk 'Cleaning' Missions Urgently Needed · · Score: 1

    Who was the fool that looked past using a laser and instead went for the 'net' or 'ballistics' options?

  23. I can see this leading to great things. on Nano-Suit Protects Bugs From Vacuums · · Score: 3, Funny

    Let's fire off fruit-flies in every direction in space and watch every other planet's agriculture industry crumble!

  24. Re:Follow the Digital Harvest Trail on Electrical Engineer Unemployment Soars; Software Developers' Rate Drops to 2.2% · · Score: 1

    "Depending" on the election outcome? You make it sound like there is an alternative to the Liberals winning. How Strange.

  25. Re:For the non Blackberry owners, BBM means: on BlackBerry 10 Can BBM Anything You're Watching, Even Porn · · Score: 1

    And the submitter carried on their side of the tradition by failing to use the full version of an obscure acronym at least once in the summary.
