  1. Re:So: allegedly confirms allegations? on Comcast Allegedly Confirms That Prenda Planted Porn Torrents · · Score: 1

    Gosh, I can get my mind to "allegedly confirms" or "confirms allegations", but this is a new low: "we allege that the Comcast document confirms the allegations John Steele uploaded honeypots".

    Slow news day?

    You mean allegedly its the new low.

  2. How appropriate on "451" Error Will Tell Users When Governments Are Blocking Websites · · Score: 1

    The ideal number indicate censorship!

  3. I tried to read the patent on Bill Gates Seeking Patent To Make Shakespeare Less Boring · · Score: 2

    ... and it could definitely be improved with some pictures and captions

  4. Could someone define "out of pocket expenses" on Medical Costs Bankrupt Patients; It's the Computer's Fault · · Score: 1

    Could someone define "out of pocket expenses" for non-US readers. For me out of pocket expenses is buying a coffee in the Costa at the hospital reception, plus the pay and display parking ticket for the hospital car park. From the article it makes it sound like "out of pocket expenses" is the full treatment cost!

  5. Re:More grids? Seriously? on Elementary OS 0.2 "Luna" Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    Time for my occasional rant on grids.

    Now they call it AIDS.

    A picture of Cowboy Neil in a wet t-shirt might change your mind

  7. Re:TWITTER IS FOR TWATS !! on Twitter Wants To Hire 88 Engineers, IPO Signs Grow · · Score: 3, Funny

    And they are hiring !!

    Why not apply? - sounds like your ideal position.

  8. I wonder if this works in Northern Lattitudes on Camping Helps Set Circadian Clocks Straight · · Score: 2

    I wonder if this works in Northern Latitudes, and if so at what time of year.

  9. Re:Meanwhile, at WalMart on Fearful of Reader Reaction, Facebook Delays Video Ads · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Fearful of customer reaction, WalMart has delayed their new 'mandatory anal probe at the door' policy..."

    Shucks ... there goes my career change plans

  10. Re:Krebs is a scam. on Cybercriminals Has Heroin Delivered To Brian Krebs, Then Calls Police · · Score: 1

    I was just illustrating that because someone does not post a comment by any old tom, dick, or harry does not necessarily mean that they are fakes.

  11. Re:Krebs is a scam. on Cybercriminals Has Heroin Delivered To Brian Krebs, Then Calls Police · · Score: 5, Funny

    I posted a comment on his blog a while ago where I questioned the validity of the results of his research that caught a lot of attention a while back. For example, one of his biggest finds was that that one of the scammer' name is Vasily Ivanovich Petrov, which is just a placeholder name just like Joe Public in Russian. He never approved my comment or provided any feedback. If he was an actual researcher, he wouldn't silence reasonable criticism towards him.

    It's sad to see him get one meaningless article after another on Slashdot.

    I posted a suggestion to the Pope on how to run the Catholic church and he never approved the comment. This proves he's a fake, right?

  12. I realise that this study is in the USA on Study Finds 3D Printers Pay For Themselves In Under a Year · · Score: 1

    But do you really spend $2,000 on cheap plastic crap like iPhone cases and shower rings? This will only work for things that can be made from 100% medium grade plastic - and I'm pretty sure I don't spend that much on such things

  13. Definition of a liberal Muslim on Liberal Saudi Web Forum Founder Sentenced To 600 Lashes and 7 Years In Prison · · Score: 1

    one that thinks you should wait until girls are over 12 years old before raping them

  14. If this were available on Full-Size Remote Control Cars · · Score: 0

    Muslims would be mowing down pedestrians and causing head-on crashes left, right, and centre. It's a real "terrorists toolkit"

  15. Re:No suit 'n tie - Blue Collar on Obama Praises Amazon At One of Its Controversial Warehouses · · Score: 2

    There is no Middle Class anymore. Since the Middle Class stopped wearing suits and settled for business casual, everybody became Blue Collar.

    The idea of Middle Class has changed through history. Originally it was applied to factory owners, who came between the "landed gentry" and the plebeians.

  16. They'd be better off on Obama Praises Amazon At One of Its Controversial Warehouses · · Score: 0

    ...one of Amazon's controversial fulfillment centers in Chattanooga ... workers can make $10.50-$11.50 an hour as an employee of Integrity Staffing Group,

    They'd be better off as shoe-shine boys on track 29

  17. Re:how about this one on Ask Slashdot: Should More Math and Equations Be Used In the Popular Press? · · Score: 1

    M = h - c

    I get the point - equations are meaningless without surrounding context

  18. Re:Would Dr. Callendar have been better off on Ask Slashdot: Should More Math and Equations Be Used In the Popular Press? · · Score: 1

    Would Dr. Callendar have been better off just diving in and dealing with Heisenberg

    Maybe, but I can't wait to see how Hank Schrader is going to deal with Heisenberg.

    Also if he was diving wouldn't that mean that his position on this wouldn't be clear?

  19. I just say on Ask Slashdot: Should More Math and Equations Be Used In the Popular Press? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Probability that more maths equations should be used > 0

  20. Re:Back to BASIC on Remember the Computer Science Past Or Be Condemned To Repeat It? · · Score: 1

    What's the point then? I'm not going to buy Visual Studio just to compile a fork bomb!

    The only thing I can think of is that GP wants to ensure that he hits the thread limit before running out of stack space!

  21. Re:constraint? on Thailand Government Declares Bitcoin Illegal · · Score: 1

    You may call it a law, I call it a challenge.

    I take it you are verbally challenged. Or is that verbally legal?

  22. Its inevitable on Thailand Government Declares Bitcoin Illegal · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Countries that tightly control moving money in and out will restrict or ban bitcoin

  23. Sounds like an autobiography of a Muslim

  24. Re:Huh? on A Circular New York City Subway Map To Straighten Things Out · · Score: 4, Funny

    ....sometimes the maps show stations as connected but there's a long walk underground, for instance.

    I once had the opposite problem on the London underground. I can't remember where exactly but I think it was going from the Planetarium to another tourist attraction. I looked at my underground map and saw I had to take two trains and switch lines to get to another station near the other attraction. I went into the underground and after waiting for trains emerged 20 minutes later - and realised that I was a few hundred yards down the road from where I had started!

  25. Re:that settles it on English High Court Bans Publication of 0-Day Threat To Auto Immobilizers · · Score: 1

    I guess they won't be going through Heathrow.

    The US is hardly a safe haven.. I believe a place like Iceland would be the safest for these kinds of gatherings..

    I understand there's also a nice hotel in the "flight side" of Moscow airport
