  1. Re: As opposed to actual Model Ms which are still on Cherry's New Keyboard Switches Emulate IBM Model M Feel · · Score: 1

    My unicomp model m born on 11/16/2011 is why I don't fear the never-ending soda.

  2. Re:Porn is bad for the mind on Iceland Considers Internet Porn Ban · · Score: 2

    Porn is almost as bad for the mind as fluoridation. Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake? Children's ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love... Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I — I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence.

  3. Re:Be careful... on Codec2 Project Asks FCC To Modernize Regulations · · Score: 2

    Did you seriously say "fewer young people"? I'm seeing the exact opposite on every band except 40m. Even the VE sessions tend to be staffed with mostly under-30-year-olds these days. It's a very different hobby than when I was first licensed, mostly for the better.

  4. Bruce Perens isn't asking, ARRL is on Codec2 Project Asks FCC To Modernize Regulations · · Score: 2

    Bruce is merely lending his support with a comment. Also, the FCC wants to go that way because it makes the rules simpler. Also, we're already mostly there. Then again, who has actually read all of Part 97?

  5. Re:Makes no sense! on Moore's Law Is Becoming Irrelevant, Says ARM's Boss · · Score: 2

    Actually, this means that the CEO of ARM doesn't know what a transistor is and why you would want more transistors in a tiny space.

  6. I don't own what's in a safe deposit box? on US Government: You Don't Own Your Cloud Data So We Can Access It At Any Time · · Score: 1

    Seriously, that's the argument they're making.

  7. Re:what am I missing? on Apple, ARM, and Intel · · Score: 1

    Well for starters, speed, flexibility, speed, speed, flexibility and speed.

  8. DESTROY ALL LEGACY on Apple, ARM, and Intel · · Score: 2

    Wow, ARM people are just like Java cultists... calling everything else legacy.

  9. Why are you a target? on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Protect My Android Devices From Hackers? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why are you a target? If you are actually a victim here, and not some person suffering from paranoid delusions, what makes you worthy of the risk of a close range attack?

  10. What workload would actually work with this? on Baserock Slab Server Pairs High-Density ARM Chips With Linux · · Score: 1

    HPC wants fast everything and tons of ram. Virtualization wants tons of ram and tons of i/o. Non-parallelizable workloads need fast everything, tons of ram and tons of i/o. As far as I can tell this thing seems like a proof of concept more than anything.

  11. Now, time to shove it down their throats on Bilingual Kids Show More Creativity · · Score: 2

    Since it's for their own good, time to shove fourteen languages down the their throats in forced mandatory education. Stop concentrating on math and science, start concentrating on languages. Veuillez considérer le bien-être des enfants.

  12. Re:The irony is that EA copies games all the time! on EA Sues Zynga For Copying Sims Game · · Score: 2

    And yet they're successful.

  13. Re:Stupid question on SQL Vs. NoSQL: Which Is Better? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Commercial offerings give you someone to sue when things go bad.

  14. I like ANW on What's Wrong With American Ninja Warrior? · · Score: 2

    Therefore, you are wrong and should reevaluate every life choice you have ever made.

  15. Re:Implications? A big shit storm over the glory on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Implications of Finding the Higgs Boson? · · Score: 1

    It was Leon Lederman that wanted to call it the "god damned particle". In particular, he wanted to name his lay-science book "the god-damned particle", but the publisher said, "No."

  16. Copywritten? Voyager was ad supported? on Copyrights To Reach Deep Space · · Score: 1

    And I thought product placement was a relatively new phenomenon.

  17. What, you thought "cloud" meant "no outage"? on More Uptime Problems For Amazon Cloud · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Cloud computing is nothing more than 1960s timesharing services with modern operating systems. Unless you design for resilience, you're not resilient to problems.

  18. So, slightly less than half the population... on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slightly less than half the population has below average intelligence.

  19. That's a really nice culture you have there... on Canadian Copyright Board To Charge For Music At Weddings, Parades · · Score: 1

    It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it.

  20. You want a Chumby. Everything else lacks custom enclosures, or costs so much money you may as well buy a full PC.

  21. Re:Piracy, and making money on MPAA Agent Poses As Homebuyer To Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    As stated in another reply, if money changes hands, it should go to those who did the work, even if it is a fraction of a percent. Say what you will about big media, but at least they give the talent some of the money.

  22. Re:Piracy, and making money on MPAA Agent Poses As Homebuyer To Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    If money changes hands, it should flow towards the creators and the talent. A major complaint against Big Media is that the middlemen get a disproportionate cut of the proceeds, with a small chunk left over for those doing the actual work. If pirates are making money, it sticks with those middlemen. That is flat-out wrong. Either the talent gets paid, or nobody gets paid.

  23. Piracy, and making money on MPAA Agent Poses As Homebuyer To Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    I don't really have an issue with piracy when the media companies make it difficult to view the content legally. I have a major issue when someone is making money off piracy. Screw these people. Throw the book at them.

  24. So.... on Broadcast Industry Wades In On Dish Network's Hopper · · Score: 2

    Why not create a premium service sans ads that bypasses Dish Network?

  25. Not enough bullets on Student Makes Real-Life Portal Turret · · Score: 4, Funny

    And it doesn't even fire the entire bullet.
