  1. Trash Racket on Smart Trash Carts Tell If You Haven't Been Recycling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So Cleveland residents have to pay for trash collection in their water/sewage/etc bills every month, then, if they don't separate the items the trash collection company can get paid for instead of having to pay to dispose of, the residents get fined? Why doesn't the trash company just pay people to pull the recyclables out of the trash back at the base?

  2. Gotta love Slashdot on The Hidden Security Risk of Geotags · · Score: 1

    So I read this comment and head off to look into whether my thumbnails are including unneeded information, next thing I know I have polaroid style thumbnails. What the hell, man ?!

  3. Privacy on Emergency Dispatcher Fired For Facebook Drug Joke · · Score: 1

    Considering recent Facebook snafus with privacy, I would think arguing that this was done on her own time in the privacy of her own home could be difficult.

  4. Theory on Matter-Antimatter Bias Seen In Fermilab Collisions · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be spooky if the other end of a black hole was the inside of a sun ?

  5. Re:Video Games on Some Newegg Customers Received Fake Intel Core i7s · · Score: 1

    Faking a death, by contrast, is rather easy, you drive off into the dark, have your car fall off of the cliff and plant some DNA evidence. In a remote enough area people will think your corpse was dragged off by animals and no use looking.

    Unless you owe them $500. Then even if you were dragged off by animals they'd still come looking for you.

  6. Re:Robots.txt on Web Copyright Crackdown On the Way · · Score: 1
    Oooh, word jumble.

    Ok, whorrres for /. editor Thor!!~

    Does /. have an editor named Thor ?

  7. Re:Priceless on Ubisoft's New DRM Cracked In One Day · · Score: 1

    Some things money can't but, for everything else there's some random guy on the Internets Mastecard.

  8. Re:Going by rendering engines... on IE 8 Is Top Browser, Google Chrome Is Rising Fast · · Score: 1

    I was going to jump up and down yelling "I do I do!", but then I remembered the first post.

  9. Re:huh? on Next Linux Kernel Due Early March · · Score: 1

    Was she wearing her strap-on while you straddled her ?

  10. Re:Audio/Videophiles Beware on THX Caught With Pants Down Over Lexicon Blu-ray Player · · Score: 1

    So what you're saying is that their mother can be satisfied faster than the speed of light ?
    How would you know ?

  11. Re:Meh. Call me when they've stopped keyword spam on Yes, Google Does De-List Pages; But When? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been wondering the same thing. Despite what the anonymous coward replied with about it not being cloaking, it is in their case.

    Try entering from the index page of experts-exchange and making your way through to any topic on the site. There's no scroll down and get the answer gimmick if you do it that way. However, if you copy that URL into a Google search box and then click the link in the SERP so that when you go to the same exact URL but having Google as the referer, you get that scroll down and see the answer stuff.

    Clearly they're providing different content to visitors associated with Google.

  12. Re:Big deal on Open Source Attempt To Crack GSM Encryption · · Score: 1

    Morris, youve got an appointment with fate, and fates got curly hair.

  13. Re:That's funny, expecting her share? on Somali Pirates Open Up a "Stock Exchange" · · Score: 1

    They're freaking pirates! This woman is an idiot if she expects any money from this. It's not like she's seeding a movie!

    I was thinking the same thing. I couldn't help but think about having someone in the street tell me they'll give me $1000 if I let them borrow my gun so they can rob someone real quick, only to do so and find out the person they're robbing is me.

  14. Re:Adam Smith? on Somali Pirates Open Up a "Stock Exchange" · · Score: 1

    Or something you'll regret eating the next morning.

  15. Re:No you aren't on OpenSolaris Or FreeBSD? · · Score: 1

    Once you get above 75% nobody gives a shit if it's justified. At that point you're still going to make out like a bandit even after legal defense fees.

  16. Re:Stupid Brits on Cyber-criminal Left In Charge of Prison Computer Network · · Score: 1

    It is if it's older.

  17. Re:College is a waste on MIT Project "Gaydar" Shakes Privacy Assumptions · · Score: 1

    Yeah, these days that's called being gay I guess.

  18. Re:MIT Gaydar should be Facebook app on MIT Project "Gaydar" Shakes Privacy Assumptions · · Score: 2, Funny

    That is solved by socially accepting homosexuals, not by probing them.

    Wait, I thought the gays liked being probed ?

  19. People love me on Why Developers Get Fired · · Score: 0

    I've never been fired and never will be. I've walked out on places in the middle of a rush, I've gotten on a Grayhound bus and moved from one side of the state to the other overnight, I've destroyed things, I've screamed at people, I've done just about every thing you can do to get fired immediately in most cases and I've always had a job waiting for me the next morning.

    I get shit done.

  20. Re:What can you actually do with 5Mil on Transforming Waste Plastic Into $10/Barrel Fuel · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not to mention the name sounds a lot like Enron.

  22. Virtin Mary on Most Detailed Photos of an Atom Yet · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else see what looks like the Virgin Mary in the one on the left ?

  23. Irony on Panasonic's New LED Bulbs Shine For 19 Years · · Score: 0

    You know in a few years, those Pollock jokes about solar powered flashlights aren't going to be too far off the mark, judging by recent events.

  24. Exercise on Windows 7 Touch, Dead On Arrival · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I like my mouse. I can get from one side of the screen to the other in any direction without moving my mouse more than an inch. With touchscreen I'd actually have to move my whole arm around.

  25. Re:Sounds good on Why Users Drop Open Source Apps For Proprietary Alternatives · · Score: 1

    Open source sounds good at first. It's really like one of those stories where someone sells their soul to the Devil in the end though.

    Now try reading it without your cynicism hat on.
