  1. Re:Firefox on TOR Wants You To Stop Using Windows, Disable JavaScript · · Score: 1

    Since they are advocating throwing away an entire OS due to a flaw in Firefox, I'll go one step further. Throw out your entire PC and you'll be 100% secure.

    But but but they can go through your garbage!

    That's ok, throw out your garbage too!

    Oh.. wait.

  2. Re:quality on NSA Provided £100m Funding For GCHQ Operations · · Score: 1

    Probably collected them while working at GCHQ

  3. Re:The next killer feature: on What's Next For Smartphone Innovation · · Score: 2

    One word: Teledildonics.

    The thought of that being a killer feature is quite terrifying.

  4. Re:They have Bosses on Can Valve's 'Bossless' Company Model Work Elsewhere? · · Score: 1

    If they don't have bosses who did all that firing a few weeks ago? They may have less managing than any place else, but they still have bosses. This isn't Lord of the Flies

    This is exactly what I was thinking. And I'm curious why this comment seems to have been modded down.

  5. Re:The myth of the "universal" westerner. on We Aren't the World: Why Americans Make Bad Study Subjects · · Score: 1

    They are probably applying for the funding of that study right now.

  6. Re:They're all idiots on US Stealth Jet Has To Talk To Allied Planes Over Unsecured Radio · · Score: 1

    So I wouldn't hold my breath that the Brits would be any better than Americans, my good sir!
    Close enough?

  7. I too am surprised. on Ask Slashdot: Why Is It So Hard To Make An Accurate Progress Bar? · · Score: 1

    at the lack of progress in this technology. ( Yeah, I know, I even had mod points, I'm sorry ).

  8. And I suddenly have this image in my head on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    of Linus shouting "Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!" while slowly losing the capacity to breathe and then flinging the last remaining chair in the room at somebody.

  9. Re:Errrm what? on Patent Troll Sues X-Plane · · Score: 1

    Only if, in theory, everyone is a theoretical asshat.

  10. Re:Sky Crawlers on Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Depressing Sci-fi You've Ever Read? · · Score: 1

    Sky Crawlers is positively cheerful compared to Saikano

  11. Re:It's like this. on Does Grammar Matter Anymore? · · Score: 1

    That's most likely a mute point.

  12. Re:Direction of Toilets?! on Missing Matter, Parallel Universes? · · Score: 1

    What if you have a rotating toilet?

  13. Re:meh on Microsoft Wrongly Gives Britain the Day Off · · Score: 2

    Well, I'm going to write a treatise on how you just offended 60+ million people. Ah, on second thoughts, too much effort, *reaches for cup of tea*

  14. "Invented" the tablet in 1990's? on Meet The Man Who Designed a Tablet Computer 15 Years Before the iPad · · Score: 1

    I'm sure I saw someone using a tablet computer in the 1984 (which I'm pretty sure was before the 90's) film "Runaway" starring Tom Selleck. I think this concept might have been around a while longer. As much as Hollywood science makes some people sad, I wonder how many "unique" inventions and concepts appeared some years after a movie.

  15. Re:Great on Indian Government To Track Locations of All Cell Phone Users · · Score: 1

    I'd be seriously amazed if they aren't already doing this.

  16. Re:is an xray pump laser truly needed? on Scientists Create World's First Atomic X-Ray Laser · · Score: 1

    The laser in "oskar, kina and the laser" talked. Spanish TV was strange in those years.

  17. Re:Call me picky but... on EU ACTA Chief Resigns · · Score: 1

    This AC truly needs to be modded up :)

  18. Re:Armageddon! on International Organization To Assess Earth Defense From Space Dangers · · Score: 2

    If we can clone Bruce Willis and make a frozen stockpile it means we can bombard the space disaster with a mass of ice cold bruce willi missiles until its velocity is changed (this may be known as the yippie ki yay effect) such that it is safely deflected back into space thus solving the problem for ever. Maybe I haven't thought this plan through, but it seems no less reasonable than any other plan that makes no sense.

  19. Re:Plus minus 50 billion on Astronomers Estimate Milky Way May Have 100 Billion Alien Worlds · · Score: 1

    Well, you could become Supreme Overlord of the Amazonian Women, hot green chicks, and Galactic Girls Gone Wild Planet

  20. Re:...Good for you? on Using a Tablet As Your Primary Computer · · Score: 1

    dude, it makes you an iPro, which sounds like a potential name for a market segment.

  21. Re:This reminds me of the good 90s on Avira Anti-Virus Detects Itself · · Score: 1

    wouldn't a ghost make a sort of "woowoaaaaooaoaoaao" type of noise?

  22. Re:What E-PARASITE really stands for... on PROTECT IP Renamed To the E-PARASITE Act · · Score: 1

    Effectively Purchasing Americas Regulatory Agencies, System, Internet and The Economy

  23. Re:Mr Motti: on EU Debates Installing a Black Box On Your Computer · · Score: 1

    and this was marked -1 because people are unable to process satire? or maybe some point has just proven itself. It's sometimes hard to tell on here.

  24. a classic case"It's only a crime if you're caught" on French Court Orders ISP To Block Police Misconduct Website · · Score: 1

    and if you are in anyway "special", you aren't "allowed" to be caught. I believe this is known as "the system, working".

  25. Re:Next step... on Company Unveils Personalized Anime Robot Girl · · Score: 1

    Lacerated?
