  1. Re: slippery slope on Utah Governor: 'Porn Is a Public Health Crisis' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    And just take a walk down any road, and see thousands and thousands of cigarette butts near the curb. Smokers seem to think that tossing their cigarettes out the car window is not littering?

  2. Better yet.... How about discharging the student loans for honorably discharged veterans! At least they contributed something to this country, like their time and possibly their good health.

  3. NO.- .. Not that on People Feel Weird About Touching Robot Butts, Researchers Find (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    No problem touching it..... But don't ask me to "kiss it's butt"

  4. I think he had a beer in his other hand..... so he himself could not use a cell phone :-)

  5. Re:Crescent won't learn on What's In a Tool? a Case For Made In the USA (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I like how you put the "Craftsman wrench from the 1990s" comment in. It has ben about that long since I went to Sears for my tools. At that time, I had a broken Craftsman tool that I brought in to be replaced, and they gave me one of their cheaper Sears branded ones.

  6. Yuk... Best Buy on Best Buy Scans Drivers License For Returns — No More Allowed For 90 Days · · Score: 1

    Who would ever buy anything from Best Buy..... Do you think they even will be in busines in 90 days!

  7. So what's new? on Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn Resigns After $1.7 Billion Loss · · Score: 1

    So, did they give the executive a multi million golden parachute bonus to leave the company, like it seems so many companies do? I have not been in Best Buy in years until about a month ago. I will not return ever again. Of what I remember about the bad customer service at Circuit City, Best Buy is far worse. The store management people are real idiots, and it took me calling their 800 telephone number to get real help from them. Good by Best Buy..... You will not be missed at all by me or my friends,

  8. Shoot them out of the water on Robot Helicopters To Single Out Pirate Ships · · Score: 1

    The next step for our overworked Navy sailors.... Connecting the lasers with an automatic missile firing system. No sooner spotted and then destroyed! WHOOPS.... sorry about that luxury private cruise ship -) Seems the good old US navy is a far cry from when I was a blue water sailor!

  9. Still a stupid idea. on Samsung Says Their TVs Aren't Really Spying On You · · Score: 1

    I still do not want me scratching me willy ending up part of the TV spying system ..... Who knows.... maybe someone could hack the system, and there you are on the Internet porn site.

  10. Good Luck on VISA, MasterCard Warn of 'Massive' Breach At Credit Card Processor · · Score: 1

    Whoops..... So when you have a credit problem and ID theft, don't expect Mastercard and Visa to be of much help!

  11. Keep thinking on Ask Slashdot: A Cheap, DIY Home Security and Surveillance System? · · Score: 1

    Dogs are no good for security. They are very easily taken care of. Plus who ever pays attention when a dog barks and barks and barks. That gun..... you better be ready to use it, or it will be taken away from you and BANG..... you are dead!

  12. BBBB - Bye Bye Best Buy on Best Buy Closing 50 Stores · · Score: 1

    No problem.... I never shop there, but went in to buy a camera recently. I found out fast why I never go there - a bunch of idiots that do not know what real customer service is. Had to call their 800 number to get real help. Bye Bye Best Buy!

  13. Canon is losing it on Hacking Canon Point-and-Shoot Cameras · · Score: 1

    Well, up to a point I had great words for the Canon A series cameras. But after using the Canon A540, I went back to buying Nikon digitals. The Canon A540 sure eats up batteries, no matter what I have used - AA alkaline or rechargable NiMH . And no, I do not have one of the recalled A series with a bad battery door. Anyway, I went back to using my Canon A95 for important photography, that using 4 AA batteries

  14. $2 mania on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 2, Interesting

    On spending all those $2 bills at Best Buy - Well, I spend $2 bills all the time for the fun of it. The cashiers at Wendy's seem to get the most confused. One time the cashier looked at my $2 and then went to ask the manager if they took these coupons. Of course living in the Detroit area with Canada right across the river, I once got a comment from a lady in a dollar store who said "Oh, we do not take Canadian money" Yes, I am sure, just look what it says on the bill - United States of America. I even had one lady start to give me change as if it was a $20 bill. Anyway, all the bills I get are brand new and very crispy, so most times I just say something like "I just printed it up for you this morning"
