  1. Conspiracy Tinfoil Engaged on Scientists Baffled By Unknown Source of Ozone-Depleting Chemical · · Score: 0

    Chemtrails ....

  2. A DNA Payload on Mars (One) Needs Payloads · · Score: -1, Troll

    Of my semen!

  3. Re:It's sinking. on Ninety-Nine Percent of the Ocean's Plastic Is Missing · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Fish actually DO eat plastic and yes they cannot digest it. Ask any fisherman who fishes artificial lures. Sinking is still a contributing possibility as well.

  4. Re:What does Obama know that we don't? on White House Pressures Legislators Into Gutting USA FREEDOM Act · · Score: 2

    I think you listed them in ascending order of likelihood.

    Maybe 5 is "he was just playing us for suckers on the campaign trail."

    Isn't your suggestion what ALL politicians do? Obammers isn't any different.

  5. Re:Let me know when you win that war on drugs? on FBI Need Potheads To Fight Cybercrime · · Score: 1

    If a hacker smoke pots in the woods and no one is around, does that mean it didn't happen? I am sure if you dug deep enough many of your neighbors are doing it at least occasionally; you just don't know about it. The mere fact that it's illegal most people don't go around with a blunt lit up promoting their usage.

  6. Or another obvious one ... on Bill Gates Patents Detecting, Responding To "Glassholes" · · Score: 1

    Like trying to use your laptop in a public area (airport perhaps) that has cameras virtually everywhere. Which then would cause the user to either override the blur to cancel or not use their machine. What we need is a glasshole app that works with a blurring technology to decode the blurred screen. That way only the user with the glasses can read their screen. This could be allow customization to the user with some sort of private key shared with the glasses or also another type of public key shared among anyone who has that key can see the picture.

  7. So ... on Bill Gates Patents Detecting, Responding To "Glassholes" · · Score: 5, Funny

    So this glasshole walks into a bar. I don't know what happened after that. It was either the intruding camera detection blur or the alcohol but all I then remember is talking about closing the analog hole and I soon realized I might be in a situation not to my liking.

  8. Unless of course ... on An SSD for Your Current Computer May Save the Cost of a New One (Video) · · Score: 1

    You browse or use an app with 50+ tabs open at any given time ... true story my co-worker does this in almost every single app he has open that has tabs. It is sad ... that is all.

  9. Well to be fair ... on Facebook's Face Identification Project Is Accurate 97.25% of the Time · · Score: 1

    Slashdot users already promote their privacy via face and neck beards and have been for years.

  10. 3 Words! on Britain's GCHQ Attacked Anonymous Supporters With DDoS · · Score: 1

    ABOVE THE LAW

  11. Re:Coders on HealthCare.gov Can't Handle Appeals of Errors · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Or instead, maybe they should have hired architects, engineers, and/or developers and not "coders" or "programmers".

  12. Re:Unauthorized export resale? on New Hampshire Cops Use Taser On Woman Buying Too Many iPhones · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the cops did pull out their iPhone thinking there would be an app for that but surprisingly there wasn't so the taser was the next closest thing.

  13. Yawn ... on Facebook Switching To HTTPS By Default · · Score: 1

    Glad the populace on there will enjoy HTTPS as I have been explicitly been using for years now. I never wanted my pesky network admins sitting on the wire and watching what I post when I am at work ... errrrr on break ... errr I mean ...

  14. Re:Parenthood no longer needs to be consensual. on Lab-Made Eggs Produce Healthy Mice · · Score: 1

    Subsequently from that same corner you will still be able to obtain organically grown STDs from your local hooker.

  15. Re:Are they as nutritious as organic mice??? on Lab-Made Eggs Produce Healthy Mice · · Score: 1

    Are the genes actually modified? Or are the stem cells inhibited to use already pre-coded information for developing into eggs. The details therein define a difference but I haven't looked at the research enough to actually determine if your statement has validity.

  16. Re:Proactive Police Work Preventing Victimization on Nebraska Sheriff Wardriving, Sending Letters About Unsecured Wi-Fi · · Score: -1

    Where do they stop? What's next, telling women to wear covered clothing to prevent legitimate rape too?

  17. That's Odd on DOJ Says iPhone Is So Secure They Can't Crack It · · Score: 1

    I thought all you had to do was use a little social engineering and you can do what you want with the data. /ducks

  18. Re:LOL on Is Phoenix the Next Silicon Valley? · · Score: 0

    Sure we aren't talking about Alabama here. ASU has some of the hottest college chicks in the US. If you got out of the basement now and then you might have known that. Albeit that has nothing to do with this topic so why Phoenix you ask ... because it's easier to melt silicon there? DUH! /ducks

  19. Re:Not likely on Could Google Fiber Save Network Neutrality? · · Score: 2

    Pfft! You act like telecoms are not already doing that.

  20. Re:Noobs much? on FBI Caught On Camera Returning Seized Server · · Score: 1

    Agreed but I don't think all field agents are a fail. At my previous job, which was actually raided by the FBI, they seized servers took what I assume they were looking for, deleted the video captured during the actual seizure which was found by IT when they returned them weeks later. After this was when I began my search for a job at a company that wasn't under scrutiny of a federal agency.

  21. Re:Obama ate a dog. on Is Extraterrestrial Life More Whimsical Than Plausible? · · Score: 1

    I am assuming you intend to further embellish that it was all beef and halal. In other news, Romney will just attach one to his roof.

  22. Re:Was told, not consulted. on Zuckerberg Made Instagram Deal Alone · · Score: 5, Funny

    Dude this is /. we all know you only have like 4 friends ... not really a good sample size.

  23. Re:Visual Studio is decent, nothing more on Microsoft Releases ASP.NET MVC Under the Apache License · · Score: 1

    You can't compare apples to oranges. PHP is not a web framework, it's a language that just so happens to may have a bunch of "web" features.
    Most of what you listed are web frameworks.
    If you compared raw C# to PHP code, you *might* have a good debatable argument, but if you want to compare apples to apples you need to compare the following.

    ASP.NET MVC *vs* Symfony2
    ASP.NET MVC *vs* CakePHP
    ASP.NET MVC *vs* [INSERT PHP FRAMEWORK]

    If you actually questioned writing a CGI app in C# vs PHP then you *might* has a closer comparison.
    The libraries (namespaces / functions) within the language have similar abilities to accomplish the same tasks, but who really wants to do this in this way???

    With that said, I choose my frameworks on a case by case basis. Bashing PHP just because n00b coders simply choose this as an easy way to bang out stuff is too much of an umbrella statement. Bad coders will write bad code in ANY language period.

  24. Rooted! on Huge Triangle-shaped Spot Over the Sun · · Score: 2

    That is the only possible answer. They have rooted our Sun and found a way to tether. Anyone know when the next OTA update is going out to fix this?
