  1. untitled on Scotland Yard Chief: Put CCTV In Every Home To Help Solve Crimes · · Score: 1

    That's like saying detonate nuclear weapons all across the planet to destroy all harmful viruses. The side effects of installing security cameras in everyone's home are much worse than the problem you're trying to solve.

  2. addons on Ask Slashdot: Most Useful Browser Extensions? · · Score: 2

    Definitely Adblock, Lastpass, Chrome Remote Desktop, and Tampermonkey. There's a great gmail pop3 mail checker for my pop3 only work email that works with gmail: http://www.danielslaughter.com...

  3. Re:My favorites on Ask Slashdot: Most Useful Browser Extensions? · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm so bored I reply sarcastically on Slashdot! So random!

  4. changing on One Man's Quest To Rid Wikipedia of Exactly One Grammatical Mistake · · Score: 1

    English is constantly changing. If everyone through history was a grammar nazi, we'd still be speaking some proto-germanic language. One recent English change in the last 100 years: switching from using "they started to walk" to "they started walking", which used to be considered incorrect grammar.

  5. Re:Delete Your Facebook Account Already on Married Woman Claims Facebook Info Sharing Created Dating Profile For Her · · Score: 1

    "I get too many telemarketers calling!" "So get rid of your phone. You can live without it" Same logic

  6. price on 62% of 16 To 24-Year-Olds Prefer Printed Books Over eBooks · · Score: 1

    It's all about ebooks being too expensive. 10 dollars for a book that's 4 dollars online, or available at the library? Once kids figure out how insanely easy it is to pirate ebooks, they'll prefer ebooks.

  7. Banning everything except for sharing personal information? That's a little backwards

  8. focus on Firefox OS Smartphones Launching, But Will Anyone Buy One? · · Score: 2

    Firefox needs to focus on their core product more than trying to expand into a marketplace that's completely over their head. There's a reason why people switch to Chrome. For starters, improving the slow startup speed compared to Chrome and Webkit Opera would be awesome.

  9. on windows on What Keeps You On (or Off) Windows in 2013? · · Score: 1

    PC Games and iTunes

  10. groupthink on When Smart Developers Generate Crappy Code · · Score: 1

    Groupthink can destroy creative ideas if you don't have good synergy with the people you're working with. (Please excuse my use of the buzzword synergy). Since programming is partially a creative process, this makes sense.

  11. not immediate on Google Rolling Out Gmail Redesign · · Score: 1

    So, judging by how Facebook rolls out updates we should get this by sometime around 2014?

  12. ignore obesity? on Med Students Unaware of Their Bias Against Obese Patients · · Score: 1

    Because medical professionals should just ignore obvious health problems such as obesity?

  13. People are used to Office being bundled with their computers. Sure we can download Pages on an iPad. But I don't think enough people know enough about that.

  14. pirate ship on Pirates of the Caribbean: the Pirate Bay Moves To Island of Sint Maarten · · Score: 5, Funny

    I like to imagine that the Pirate Bay servers are located on a pirate ship that pulls up anchor and sets sail to another part of the world when they run into legal trouble.

  15. hulu plus on Windows Store In-App Ad Revenue Plummets · · Score: 1

    Hulu Plus is the only Windows 8 app I ever use. The others are just... bad.

  16. subject on Boeing 787s To Create Half a Terabyte of Data Per Flight · · Score: 1

    Internet connected toilet reports an increase in poop from yesterday.

  17. too soon on Facebook Details the Software Engineering Behind Graph Search · · Score: 1

    Tech sites love to post over and over again about these new Facebook features. But by the time they actually roll out to users everyone's forgotten about them.

  18. they have a point on Best Buy Follows Yahoo in Banning Remote Work · · Score: 1

    I hate to admit that they have a point. It's easy to slack when you're not in the office with your boss looking over your shoulder.

  19. Horrible marketing on Is the Wii U Already Dead? · · Score: 2

    Horrible marketing. It made it seem like it was an add on for the Wii instead off a whole new system. Talk about the new features!

  20. calories on Pepsi To Release New Breakfast Mountain Dew · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it's going to be something like 200 calories per serving, 2.5 servings per can. What a way to start the day!

  21. hydrox on Google Now Boasts World's No. 2 and No. 3 Social Networks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is like saying that Hydrox is the #2 chocolate and cream cookie next to Oreo. It still sucks, and nobody likes it.

  22. dangerous? on New Threadlike Carbon Nanotube Fiber Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Isn't it true that they found Carbon Nanotubes to be as dangerous as Asbestos?

  23. used? on Microsoft Axing Messenger On March 15th · · Score: 1

    And I still know nobody that currently uses or has ever used Microsoft Messenger or MSN. It was exclusively AIM for us. I hear it's popular in certain regions though, but MSN was always one of the first things I uninstalled.

  24. this is bad on Apple Adds Samsung Galaxy SIII To Its Ban List · · Score: 1

    I'm not liking that Apple is using the courts to try and take out their #1 competitor in the smartphone market. It's VERY anti-competitive.

  25. sexist? on Microsoft Apologizes For Inserting Naughty Phrase Into Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    I don't want to live in a world where "big boobs" is a "sexist phrase"
