  1. Re:Garden Wall? on With Mountain Lion's iCloud Integration, Apple Strengthens the Garden Wall · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, us true Apple fanboys actually refer to it as the Posh Bunker. Walled garden is merely a media catchphrase.

  2. In case of pyroclastic flow on Supervolcano Drilling Plan Gets Go-Ahead · · Score: 4, Funny

    Duck and cover. The thousand degree cloud of gas and ash will pass harmlessly over you.

  3. Re:Supervolcano Drilling Plan Gets Go-Ahead? on Supervolcano Drilling Plan Gets Go-Ahead · · Score: 1

    After you sent her the card last week? Slashdot is no place for your oedipal fantasies.

  4. If you have problems with your Facebook App on Social Networking: The New Workplace Smoke Break · · Score: 1

    You'll need to apply a patch.

  5. Monkey Work on Ask Slashdot: Is Outsourcing Development a Good Idea? · · Score: 3, Funny

    My boss says that our new strategy is to use outsourced developers to do the 'monkey work' for us.

    I don't think this strategy is successful for producing great software, but given enough time your outsourced developers might write Hamlet.

  6. Re:Android is virus laden on Android Hackers Honing Skills In Russia · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I agree. Human behavior is a valid engineering problem, and reducing certain functionality to get around it for certain situations is a valid engineering tradeoff. A problem is a problem, keyboard and chair are irrelevant. Apple would rather deal with angry geeks who scream about freedom and openness and who like most geeks have no functional concept of engineering tradeoffs than have dimitri and olga kill somebody because they intentionally (or even worse, accidentally) disabled 911 access when they tried to pwn someone's Android device through the pirated copy of Hot Nude Bolshevik Solitaire the user downloaded from Leonid's Spice Dicey Back Alley Appstore.

  7. If Premium disables the machine on Avira Premium Anti-Virus Bug Disables Windows Machines · · Score: 1

    Does the Lite editing cause your machine burst into flames and burn down half your house after posting compromising photos to Facebook?

  8. Re:Headline on Pirate Bay Criticizes Anonymous' Attack On Virgin · · Score: 1

    Virgin-on-Virgin crime is no laughing matter.

    "Get a firm muscular body without needing to take dangerous nutritional supplements unapproved by the FDA. Or exercising. Yours for only 2000 low monthly installments of $19.99".

    A green solution

  11. Re:They prefer that customers buy on B&N Pulls Linux Format Magazine Over Feature On 'Hacking' · · Score: 4, Funny

    Crap. I just violated Godwin's Law, didn't I?

  12. They prefer that customers buy on B&N Pulls Linux Format Magazine Over Feature On 'Hacking' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    less dangerous reading material that has hurt no one.

  13. Re:I blame Q on Astronomers See Another Star Torn Apart By a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    Give the guy a break. Laser watches and exploding pens don't work too well on a four million solar mass super villain.

  14. Re:If you're going to crash on Electric Airplane Ready For Production · · Score: 1

    You can make cheap bio-antimatter from corn, but then you just wind up making food prices higher.

  15. Re:School inquiry? on Automated Dorm Room Causes a School Inquiry · · Score: 2

    X10 isn't worth getting hospitalized over.

    If you're going to get seriously hurt at college, the situation should at least involve several gallons of vodka, unprotected woo-hoo with an entire sorority, and questioning the football team's heterosexuality at a practice while tripping on shrooms. Precisely in that order.

  16. If you're going to crash on Electric Airplane Ready For Production · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do you have to divert power from life support?

  17. Re:"their plan looks solid" on Planetary Resources Confirms Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    That's what their plan is
    That's what they've got. Oh, mmmm.
    The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

  18. With all this constant patent reselling on Facebook Purchases 650 AOL Patents From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    How exactly do you know whose patent you're potentially infringing on? Do searches on the US patent website return correctly updated info?

  19. Predator Drone Strikes on US Unhappy With Australians Storing Data On Australian Shores · · Score: 4, Funny

    on suspected members of Men-At-Work will soon follow.

  20. Ska should be rightfully split on SKA Might Be Split Between South Africa and Australia · · Score: 1

    Between Jamaica and England.

  21. The alternative was better on How Las Vegas Missed Out on a Life-Sized Starship Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Yell at Scotty all you want to, but a full-size enterprise doesn't shield you from the punishing Vegas sun. The Fremont Experience does. It's actually a quite tasteful (for Vegas) attraction, and it's fun to watch at night while you go casino-hopping. I'd definitely recommend going to see it if you're ever in Vegas.

  22. Re:iPad Game Changer on Technology For the Masses: Churches Going Hi-Tech · · Score: 1
