  1. Re:IF you think you need this on Smart Mattress With Lover Detection System Will Track Your Partner's Infidelities (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Clearly. What's your point?

    That I did not hit the F key hard enough. The first word should be "If". Thank you, Anonymous Coward. IF that isn't the issue, and IF you think you need to hire a private detective to spy on your spouse, your relationship is already in serious trouble and communication should be the starting point, not setting traps. Close relationships are about trust, this thing is about mistrust. Just sayin. Heck, if you're setting traps Better Call Saul.

  2. Then you have serious issues with either your relationship with your lover, trust, or both.

  3. This would be nice! on Samsung Faces Lawsuit In China Over Smartphone Bloatware · · Score: 1

    I have several apps on my Samsung Rugby I'll never use. Some are duplicates from Google, Samsung, and my service provider. Some are unremovable games (I don't play games on my phone). Facebook keeps trying to push it's crappy messenger at me that weighs in at over 20 meg, screw that. Options are good, as long as they are optional.

  4. Re:Data will be anonymous? on Google Looking To Define a Healthy Human · · Score: 1

    Two very rich guys have concerns about their bodies, and access to information about everyone elses. They get to judge what is improper or not.

  5. Re:People are great at ignoring labour on $42,000 Prosthetic Hand Outperformed By $50 3D Printed Hand · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of talented people willing to put time into labour and support. There are a ton of people working for free in their spare time outside of their full time time jobs doing stuff that counts. Designers design when their not at work. Carpenters shape wood into what they or someone else wants when they're on free time. There is a market outside of money where talented folks just help each other out. They do it for fun or for a favor returned. It's a part of "all that jazz".

  6. Re:informal poll on Linus Torvalds Suspends Key Linux Developer · · Score: 1

    Wait, that's not quite right. The family likes to watch their flickershows so I installed an EXT3 driver for Windows and set up the XBox as a Windows Media Center extender to stream stuff to the TV. We gave up on cable TV a bit over a decade ago. From what I've seen at work on lunch breaks, that was the decision to go with.

  7. Re:informal poll on Linus Torvalds Suspends Key Linux Developer · · Score: 1

    Slackware. Dual boot with Win 7 for War Thunder. If War Thunder ran easily on Slack I'd chuck the old 80 Gig drive.

  8. Re:Cameras left behind ... on The Mystery of the 'Only Camera To Come Back From the Moon' · · Score: 2

    Nothing is more unusual than what you'd find on /b/.

  9. He got kids interested. on How Did Bill Nye Become the Science Guy? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Need I say more?

    Point taken.

  11. Out of curiosity on Previously-Unseen Photos of Challenger Disaster Appear Online · · Score: 1

    After reading a few of the comments, does anyone here know if there is a post launch abort procedure in the case of a system failure or ice strike or while the shuttle is still attached to external rockets?

  12. I've seen better on First Recorded Observation of Freshwater Fish Preying On Birds In Flight · · Score: 1
  13. Re:Leather belt/jacket/shoes on Artist's Catcopter Causes a Stir · · Score: 1

    It really depends on how tasty and easily kept they are. Gorillas are less numerous that cows for herding reasons.

  14. The 99% has incorporated. on Time's Person of the Year Is "The Protester" · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else see the irony? It's delicious! Someone spin up "Age Of Aquarius" on the turntable!

  15. Re:All subjects welcome. on Schools Buy .xxx Domains In Trademark Panic · · Score: 2

    And I would take this course where now?

  16. Re:IT IS NOT SO GOOD on Mass Piracy Lawsuits Come To Australia · · Score: 1

    Someone tar and feather the parent, like an IP lawyer.

  17. Thanks man... on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Dont worry about finding a job, I once got an interview just by saying I enjoyed moderating on Slashdot (really? How's your IPTables?). It was that quick and natural. Thanks for all your work, I've had a lot of fun!

  18. Re:Wow. on Apple Store Employee Attempts To Form Union · · Score: 2

    Thank you! As a man who has taken work in a warehouse picking and packing food I appreciate that someone knows that we actually are proud of what we do. I can run servers, have owned my own business (Internet cafes are so the thing of the past) and have worked in a management position. REAL work, however, happens at the bottom. I'm in better shape than I have been since I was 23 years old, and management has me working on a morale boosting program to keep the workers as happy as possible while still getting the work done. This is a company I can work for, and respect. Hell, I'm bottom rung and they address me a Mr. {LastName}.

    Wow. Good company. I'm betting Apple is close to if not in that same category. Are there any Apple guys out there that can give us insight into what it's _really_ like to work there, or would you get sued?

  19. Re:That's just what I want them to think on How Your Username May Betray You · · Score: 1

    I've been using the same username for well over a decade now. I've also, in that time realized that common sense is surprisingly uncommon. I use noscript and adblock plus and erase cookies when I close my browser. I also have to do a bunch of upkeep on my spam filter. The folks who dont have the "common sense" to use these things are my bread and butter.

    Some of them also make a big whackload more on their pay than I do.

  20. Re:The Russians are already doing this on 1948 Mayor To MIT: Use Flamethrowers To Melt Snow? · · Score: 1

    "The extreme cold there puts ice on the runways, and that of course has to be got rid off for airplanes to take off. That’s where things get badass; they use Klimov VK-1 jet engines from Mig-15 planes, or engines from Mig-17s to thaw the ice. You know, it gets pretty impressive when an engine from a fighter jet gets to work as a snow blower."

    Dude, I'd work that job.

    Don't they have rock salt where you guys come from? Forgive me, I'm Canadian, but shovel the driveways, use salt on the walkways, and hire guys with trucks and CATs to push the snow outta the way.

    `Course, taxes might pop up a notch to pay for those guys to work.

  21. Re:KDE3 performance??? on Mark Zuckerberg Makes Surprise SNL Cameo · · Score: 1

    What you think it means. The OP appears to believe that the KDE desktop systems appearance in the movie deserved some sort of kudos. There is a link up there that will tell you all sorts of stuff about it. Just click the bit that reads "KDE 3's performance".

    OK. Coffee. Now.

    I think that's an insult to journalistic values! Why kowtow to the govt to get their money when much more is there to be had through blackmail?

  25. LAMP and desktop on How Do You Manage the Information In Your Life? · · Score: 1

    Fengoffice, MyClientBase, and important todonow stuff is on the desktop until it gets finished and filed. When the desktop gets too full of junk (three columns is my max) that's the signal to stop starting new and get to finishing up open projects.

    As for personal stuff, I have a /home/me/mycrap directory that is chock full of stuff from the last ten years that is organized somewhat like a chimp throws feces. I leaf through it every now and again, but organized it aint..
