  1. Re:Because it doesn't work? on Sony Pictures Leak Reveals Quashed Plan To Upload Phony Torrents · · Score: 1

    It's because the authenticity checks are essentially crowdsourced. It takes no time for the counterfeits to be identified and segregated.

  2. Having to circumvent to have your coffee is stupid on Keurig 2.0 Genuine K-Cup Spoofing Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    I hope Keurig competitors are taking notice. Having to hack your way around their lame DRM in order to enjoy the coffee that you want is stupid. This is such an anti-consumer move on Keurig's part.

  3. I think Pen and Teller presented it best... on Time To Remove 'Philosophical' Exemption From Vaccine Requirements? · · Score: 1

    Pen and Teller on Vaccinations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  4. Make you sure you can read and write every bit on Ask Slashdot: Is Non-USB Flash Direct From China Safe? · · Score: 5, Informative

    You'll want to check to make sure you are actually getting a 128GB card. I've gotten a couple of fake flash drives and cards over the years which report the proper capacity and will even format, but when you try to write actual data to the device you end up with corrupt files. If the price is too good to be true, it generally is, so I don't buy cards or sticks from vendors that I can't return anymore. Use H2TESTW to test the speed and capacity of your flash card/device: http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/S...

  5. The one who smelt it, delt it. on NASA Finds a Delaware-Sized Methane "Hot Spot" In the Southwest · · Score: 1

    Okay who farted?

  6. Put OS on a separate drive and image backups on Will Windows 10 Finally Address OS Decay? · · Score: 1

    This is why I put my OS on a separate drive and take an image of that drive when I have everything set up the way I want it set up. This allows me to freshly start from that point at a future date without having to re-install everything from scratch.

  7. So 72 virgins in the afterlife... is that a lot? on ISIS Bans Math and Social Studies For Children · · Score: 1

    Seems like they at least need basic math to be a motivator, no?

  8. Got a bunch of 56K modems in the garage... on Grand Ayatollah Says High Speed Internet Is "Against Moral Standards" · · Score: 1

    Sweet! A new market for the 56K modems that I've got sitting the the garage!

  9. X - 1500 = Y? on Microsoft Dumps 1,500 Apps From Its Windows Store · · Score: 0

    So that leave like what, 5 apps in that app store now? Seems like that's a bit of a disservice to the developers who put their time and money into developing the apps. Why not put in a voting mechanism so that the apps are still there, but less popular instead of arbitrarily deleting them?

  10. Re:LED on Woman Attacked In San Francisco Bar For Wearing Google Glass · · Score: 1

    Maybe something like this: http://imgur.com/KVbrtIa

  11. Does it work on all stinkbugs in DC? on VA Tech Experiment: Polar Vortex May Decimate D.C. Stinkbugs In 2014 · · Score: 1

    Hopefully it also works on stinkbugs infesting congress...

  12. Re:UI Designers Suck on A New Car UI · · Score: 1

    The current "UI" has had over 100 years to mature, develop, vet and optimize, so why do we necessarily need a new one?

  13. I thought they kicked everyone out of Kaesong? on North Korean Business Park Getting Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Didn't they yank all the workers out of the business park a while back? I thought SK business were abandoning their ventures there?

  14. Re:It's been done before on A New Use For Drones: Traffic Scouting · · Score: 2

    Actually more than 30+ years ago (see the 'G' control button): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

  15. Re:It's been done before - It was the "G" button.. on A New Use For Drones: Traffic Scouting · · Score: 2

    Actually as far back as the 1960's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

  16. Re:Slashdot BETA Sucks. on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    Yes I agree BETA sucks. For me the main problem is the browsability of the articles. In classic, I like the way the titles are nicely highlighted so that they are easy to read, and then you get a smidgin of the actual content below. This allows me to 1) read the title to see if it's of interest, 2) read a small sampling of the article to see if it's really of interest. If 1) and 2) has captured my interest, I then click into the article to read it in it's entirety. Beta's new larger font for the headlines and the inclusion on graphics on each article forces you to endlessly scroll on the page (and the Headlines only view is pretty useless as it doesn't provide enough quick glance readability on the articles content.) Okay, here's a thought. Why not just keep Classic around and then see from a usage statistics view how many people are using what? (I'll bet you see most people gravitate back to the Classic view because it's just the more efficient way to get the most amount of information with the minimal amount of scrolling.)

  17. Suppositories... anyone? on Virtual Boss Keeps Workers On a Short Leash · · Score: 1

    Waiting for the suppository edition which is shaped like a tiny microscope...

  18. DOS traffic jam, anyone? on EU Secretly Plans To Put a Back Door In Every Car By 2020 · · Score: 2

    First hack will put a end to that pretty quickly I suspect.

  19. BSOD() on Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Often-Run Piece of Code -- Ever? · · Score: 1

    BSOD message handler?

  20. Sharpie scribbles, tattoos and Polaroids... on Ask Slashdot: How To Protect Your Passwords From Amnesia? · · Score: 1

    Sharpie scribble or tattoo hints on your body parts and take lots of Polaroid pictures. You'll either find your password eventually, or stumble across the person who killed your wife...

  21. So why isn't the textbook another test from God? on Getting Evolution In Science Textbooks For Texas Schools · · Score: 1

    So if fossils (and other things which can't be readily "explained") are tests of faith from God, why isn't the inclusion of evolution in textbooks also such a test? (Oh I'm sorry, that's a rational argument, isn't it? ... Nevermind...)

  22. Re:Pulse Rifle on New Real Life Laser-Rifle Cuts Through Metal Like a Blowtorch · · Score: 1

    Hey just what you see on the shelf buddy.

  23. Re:Linux Mint anyone? on Ask Slashdot: Are We Witnessing the Decline of Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    +1 for Linux Mint. Love the distro. Nice, fast and does what I need it to do daily.

  24. Opposed by the cab driver and chauffer's unions... on Technologies Like Google's Self-Driving Car: Destroying Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Probably just going to be like how the waterless urinals couldn't get sold for 10 years due to opposition from the plumber's unions.

  25. Crank it to 11 dude! on Gore's Staff Says He Was Misquoted On Hexametric Hurricanes · · Score: 1, Funny

    "These amps are awesome! You can crank them to 11!"
