  1. Re:Same flaws as daleks too :P on Chinese Security Robot Draws Dalek, Terminator Comparisons (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    As opposed to a regular security guard with a tazer?!

  2. Re:"cannot be skipped" on YouTube To Roll Out 6-Second Ads That You Can't Skip (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    >blank the screen or something

    Just show the youtube buffering animation. 6 extra seconds of that shouldn't even be noticeable to most users!

  3. Re:Excellent! on Amazon Kindle Oasis With 'Months' of Battery Life, Redesigned Body Launched · · Score: 1

    Only $289.99?! No wonder they need to show ads! Besides, people love being distracted while reading...

  4. Re:Danger Will Robinson! on Most Netflix Customers Don't Realize Prices Will Increase Next Month (time.com) · · Score: 1

    "Oh no, they raised the price of crack!" you are probably more likely to hear this complaint.

  5. Re:Ad blocking in Edge is easy on Microsoft Denies Edge Is Getting A Native Ad Blocker (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    From my experience, Edge doesn't seem to block all the ads that IE11 will with privoxy. I suspect it doesn't actually send all traffic through the proxy, but I can't be bothered to verify that claim.

  6. from scratch on Man Builds 'Scarlett Johansson' Robot From Scratch (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is there a kit?! I'm asking for a friend...

  7. Sweet, I was worried I wouldn't see any minions today...

  8. Re:Just resting, Monthy Python style on Skype For Linux: Dead? Or Just Resting? · · Score: 1

    Speaking of niche OSs, they did just release a Skype update for Windows Phone...

  9. Re:Fire Phone? on Google Announces Fiber Phone, a $10/Month Home Telephone Service · · Score: 0

    Aim low. Aim so low no one will even care if you succeed. Dinner’s in the oven. If you want some butter it’s under my face.

  10. Well no shit, Sherlock!

  11. Re:Where are the gun nuts when you need them? on DOJ Threatens To Seize iOS Source Code (idownloadblog.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, we really need an amendment for the right to bear iPhones...

  12. Oh man, I would NOT want to be Trump's webservers right now...

  13. >freedom of travel for scientists is as important for science as free trade is for economies.

    Nonsense, ever hear of a thing called the internet?!

  14. Is there some reason they can't clone the device? That would buy them unlimited attempts.

  15. Re:Big change: telecommuting on Yahoo To Fire Another 15% As Mayer Attempts To Hang On (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    That was to force a lot of old timers out. She knew they wouldn't relocate.

  16. Nobody does. ;)

  17. Re:The 0.01% on Yahoo To Fire Another 15% As Mayer Attempts To Hang On (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    >have a shitty reference

    Depending on where you are from, they may only be allowed to confirm the dates you were employed. Anything negative said could open them up to a lawsuit.

  18. Re: bald eagles, too on Dutch Police Train Bald Eagles To Take Out Drones · · Score: 1

    [clears throat] It's about the bald eagles... Since you were frozen, they've been placed on the endangered species List. We tried to get some, but it will take months to clear up the red tape.

  19. Re:Because that would be unimaginable CENSORSHIP? on Why Does Twitter Refuse To Shut Down Donald Trump? (vortex.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, dude, it's OK to censor republicans. ;)

  20. Obligatory Archer Quote on Utah Bill Would Require IT Workers To Report Child Porn (ksl.com) · · Score: 1

    What, do you not?!

  21. Did you read your own description?! on Trump Says He'd Make Apple Build Computers In the US (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    >How Trump would force Apple's supply chain, which relies heavily on a vast network of suppliers and large factories throughout Asia, to be brought stateside remains unknown.

    >why start or stop with Apple?

    Maybe, just maybe the answer lies in this part

    >The most popular candidate in the Republican party said he would impose a 35% business tax on American businesses manufacturing outside of the United States.

  22. Why? on Should the US Change Metal Coins? (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    >since 2006 the prices of metals used in coins have risen so much that the total production unit costs of the penny and nickel exceed their face value **resulting in financial losses to the U.S. Mint.**

    Are they selling the pennies and nickels?!

  23. Re:Of Course on Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10 Reach End-of-Life Next Week (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Double tap!

  24. privoxy.org will block most (for me all) ads. Edge is pretty legit with ad blocking.

  25. Re:Certification? on Ask Slashdot: How To Get Into Machine Learning? · · Score: 1

    How do you get experience if you don't have experience?!
