  1. Re:My Casio fx 82 still works on Color-Screen TI-84 Plus Calculator Leaked · · Score: 1

    I have a Casio fx 7000 that I still use. It's almost 30 years old, and only on the third battery. In high school I used to write programs on it that turned the display into a drawing program. You could plot lines using the crosshair. I used to draw flight simulator displays on it and trick my friends into thinking I'd written a flight simulator on it.

  2. What if he was 20? on Should a Teenage Entrepreneur Sell Out To Facebook? · · Score: 1

    Should he sell out then?

  3. The Daily Show on Sandy Sinks HMS Bounty, Knocks Off Gawker Websites · · Score: 1

    No Daily Show. Now how will I get my news?

  4. GBT on Astronomy Portfolio Review Recommends Defunding US's Biggest Telescope · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can't help but think it would be better funded if it had some lesbians too.

    It's obvious Romney was trying to be funny.

    It's clear he should just stick with what he is good at: making money by any means necessary

    Yes, I have known many Mormans that are good honorable people. All religions are still based on scams though.

    The map is fine - you're just reading it wrong.

    Winning!

  9. Re:But... on Ancient Egyptian Tech May Be Key To Printing 3D Ceramics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I grew up in south-west Virginia in the 80s, and I knew people in High School that said that dinosaur fossils, and other galaxies for that matter, were created by God as things for us to "discover".

    It was very hard growing up as one of the few sane people in school.

  10. But... on Ancient Egyptian Tech May Be Key To Printing 3D Ceramics · · Score: 0

    Isn't the world only 6000 years old?

    Did the Egyptians (if that IS their real name) have time travel technology? In Stargate, they had cool helmets, but no time travel.

  11. Re:Maybe this is a generational thing... on The Programmers Go Coding Two-by-Two — Hurrah? · · Score: 2

    I really enjoy being paired with girls. You're missing out.

  12. Re:Look at the bright side on Earth's Corner of the Galaxy Just Got a Little Lonelier · · Score: 5, Funny

    You want some faster than light travel with that?
    Or perhaps telekinesis?

    You read my mind!

    So they're patenting some math.

  15. Re:For better or for worse... on Nokia Closing Australian Office, Looking To Sell Qt Assets · · Score: 1

    We get it - you don't like C++.

    Personally, I have several Qt/C++ applications on the market that pretty much anyone (except maybe you) would consider "high quality". I'm certainly very satisfied with Qt.

  17. Re:Piracy is the answer on DirecTV Drops Viacom Channels · · Score: 1

    I gave SABnzb and SickBeard a try, as a test. I am a current DirecTV and HBO subscriber.

    I went through a paid, encrypted, Usenet account, because I didn't want my static IP to show up in a Torrent swarm. I was amazed at the quality of these tools until unfortunately two of the three test shows I tried downloading were corrupt. There was literally one block missing from each one, preventing the unrar from working. What do do in this case? I don't want to spend my day tracking down missing par blocks.

  18. Re:Whats the difference... on Hackers Steal Keyless BMW In Under 3 Minutes · · Score: 1

    That's because it's 100% of the Mercedes owners.

  19. Re:Easy on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Stay Employable? · · Score: 1

    If you do a really good job, maybe your program will become self-aware, and you can sell it to the government, or use it to defeat Superman or something.

    The place with the highest concentration of iPhones and iPads is located between Baltimore and D.C. That's where I would expect to find the most intelligent people.

    You mean douchiest right?

    Isn't that already called Playboy?

  24. Re:1 of my favorite Antenna channels on Grad Student Wins Alan Alda's Flame Challenge · · Score: 1

    It was a grand and glorious vision in the 80's. 500 specialized channels so anyone could find the kind of material they wanted to watch anytime. Cable networks starting up to do the equivalent of "The Scotch Tape Store" or "Spatula City".

    Yes but where else are you going to go to get all your name-brand spatulas at half the retail price?
    Last week I bought ten spatulas, and I got one more for just a penny!

  25. Great tip! I've already found several of my images being used on other web-sites.

    If there is no "contact" link on the web-page, should I go directly to the admin contact from the whois lookup, or should I go through the ISP? I want to bring the abuse to the appropriate person's attention, but don't want to instigate anything like happened here.
