  1. Re:To see what happens... on NASA-ESA Project Will Shoot an Asteroid To See What Happens · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yes, it would be ironic if the asteroid that wiped out the human race was one we smashed into just to see what would happen.

  2. Phone calls on Sony Thinks You'll Pay $1200 For a Digital Walkman · · Score: 1

    But does it make phone calls?

  3. Doubt it will work well on Comcast Converting 50,000 Houston Home Routers Into Public WiFi Hotspots · · Score: 2

    I gave the CC built in WiFi a shot but it's horrible coverage and firmware (features) turned me away. I did a live chat and had them turn the WiFi off and they did it immediately, that way I could just use my own. It comes back on automatically about every 6 months (I'm assuming because of some upgrade) and I just live chat with them and have them turn it off. It has a big bright light when it's on so it's easy to tell. If this happens to me (near Houston), I'll just contact them again.

  4. Re:No one will ever buy a GM product again on GM Names and Fires Engineers Involved In Faulty Ignition Switch · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You're right...I'm never going to get a GM...wait, they are announcing next seasons Dancing with the Stars cast, oh goody, it's my favorite... sorry, now...what were we talking about again?

  5. Actual Link on Expert Warns: Civilian World Not Ready For Massive EMP-Caused Blackout · · Score: 1

    Here is the link to the actual article without going through Fox and Watchdog.

  6. Re:This has what to do with slashdot? on Photo Web Site Offers a Wall of Shame For Image Thieves · · Score: 1

    *blink* ... *blink*

  7. Re:Fraud charges inbound... oh wait on MtGox Finds 200,000 Bitcoins In Old Wallet · · Score: 1

    Agreed. It's no fun reading the ramblings of a stoned ESL student.

  8. Re:Thieves on MtGox Finds 200,000 Bitcoins In Old Wallet · · Score: 1

    A defendant can commit the crime of shoplifting without actually leaving the store. All he needs to do is to move the property and exercise control over it in a way that is inconsistent with the shop owner's reasonable expectations as to how shoppers will handle merchandise.

  9. Re:That makes sense on Ex-Microsoft Employee Arrested For Leaking Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    or liposuction reclamation material

    Mmmm...it's lunchtime - can I get some fries with that?

  10. Slippery slope on Google Blurring Distinction Between Ads and Organic Search Results · · Score: 2, Informative

    They've been on the slippery slope for a while now. Not exactly evil, but not forthcoming either.

  11. Re:Wow. on Microsoft Reports Record Revenue · · Score: 2

    Agreed. I got the pro 2 a few weeks ago and am very happy with it. I use it in meetings mostly but can do anything else (during the meeting) if needed. I can easily see it completely replacing my pc/laptop in the future.

  12. Re:Old timer Michiganian here! on Polar Vortex Sends Life-Threatening Freeze To US · · Score: 1

    What's good for the goose is good for the Michigander!

  13. Re:make my day... on The Desktop Is Dead, Long Live the Desktop! · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I agree...developer and gamers. And finance, engineering, graphic design, manufacturing/planning, the list goes on and on.

  14. Make it their idea on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Convince Management To Hire More IT Staff? · · Score: 1

    Like everyone else is saying, you need to justify it in dollars as well as sense in detail. But when you present the case, frame it so that they can take the credit for doing it (yes, I'm serious). You both win.

  15. Re:What's wrong with this picture? on Swarm Mobile's Offer: Free Wi-Fi In Exchange For Some Privacy · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obviously you're not married.

  16. Re:Any consultant worth anything..... on Project Rescue Expert Todd Williams Talks About Healthcare.gov (Video) · · Score: 2

    I would touch it with a 10 foot stack of $20 bills. (Thats $559,200)

  17. What would happen on No, the Earth (almost Certainly) Won't Be Hit By an Asteroid In 2032 · · Score: 1

    What would happen if it came really close but didn't hit? Like 2 miles up? What about 500 feet above land? 50 feet?

  18. Re:The Internet will route around it... on Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Approve Work On DRM For HTML 5.1 · · Score: 2

    SMART People will use browsers and websites that don't use the DRM tech, and "big media" will wonder why 1% of their traffic dropped off... must be the pirates!

    And the other 99% will use will go on using whatever is handed to them.

  19. Re:No thanks on PS4 Launch Date: November 15th · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can set it up to automatically run updates at whatever time of day you want. It will turn on, update (including games) and then power itself back off after a period of inactivity. That is how I set mine and I never wait for updates anymore. That doesn't excuse the other behavior but it may help you with regards to updates.

  20. Other sites on Fairy Penguins Send First Email · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What are some other sites similar to Slashdot that I can use today (and maybe longer)?

  21. Gun control debate on Federal Gun Control Requires IT Overhaul · · Score: 1

    Gun control debate in Three...Two...O.......BLAM!

    Oh man. The reviews of this cable are great!

  23. Re:Scorpion and the Frog on Microsoft's Surface Caught Windows OEMs By Surprise · · Score: 1
