  1. Re:Are you kidding me? on Yahoo! Sports Redesign Sparks Controversy, Disdain From Users · · Score: 1

    The background is way too busy and distracting. Also white text on black backgrounds are not easier to read.

  2. Fill in the blank... on Ask Slashdot: Good Ideas For Creative Gaming With Girlfriend? · · Score: 1

    "Strip" - [game name here]

  3. Re:Drone....not really? on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 2

    Surprised they need a manned mission for this. Seems like a sweeping pattern that could just be programmed to run at regular intervals. The drone would need to be autonomously charged somehow though.

  4. So I don't have to "sudo apt get" now? on Elementary OS 0.2 "Luna" Released · · Score: 1

    If everything worked out of the box, now that would be revolutionary. I'm still struggling to get integrated webcams and broadcom wifi drivers working on some older platforms.

  5. Selling strategy for 3D printer manufacturers? on Study Finds 3D Printers Pay For Themselves In Under a Year · · Score: 1

    So a selling strategy for the 3D printer makers would be to put out an extensive library of common household objects for use with their printers.

  6. That explains bosses... on US Gained a Decade of Flynn-Effect IQ Points After Adding Iodine To Salt · · Score: 1

    Apparently my boss has had an iodine deficiency for some time...

  7. Can it find Waldo?... on Google's Latest Machine Vision Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    ... or Sarah Connor for that matter?

  8. Here's how to [maybe] save SurfaceRT at this point on A Radical Plan For Saving Microsoft's Surface RT · · Score: 1

    Allow network domain participation and authentication. Bundle in full versions of Office. Heavy discounts year over year.

  9. Does anyone really even want this phone? on Canonical Seeks $32 Million To Make Ubuntu Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Motorola and ASUS already tried the "my phone is my PC" trick with their docking stations. Didn't seem like anyone wanted the concept, so what's different about this go-around?

  10. Re:Lack of commitment on America's Second-largest Employer Is a Temp Agency · · Score: 1

    A large corporation here in town has a rotating temp program where they hire you for 18 months and then let you go for 3 before you're then free to apply again for another 18 month stint. This way they get out of having to offer you a full-time position and benefits.

  11. I clap when a crappy presentation is finally over! on Length of Applause Not Tied To Quality of Presentation · · Score: 1

    I think it's out of happiness to finally get my life back from the insane limbo of boredom.

  12. What's that burning smell? on Reversible Male Contraception With Gold Nanorods · · Score: 1

    What could possibly go wrong... just sayin'...

  13. Sorry for my skepticism, but I'll believe it when. on New Company Set To Resurrect the Aptera · · Score: 1

    .. I see them rolling off of the assembly line.

  14. Windows 8 or just Windows in general? on What Keeps You On (or Off) Windows in 2013? · · Score: 1

    I bought a laptop and a desktop this year to get off of Windows XP and purposely avoid Windows 8. H8 Win8...

  15. A human shooter, how novel... on A Computer-based Smart Rifle With Incredible Accuracy, Now On Sale · · Score: 1

    A stand and a few servo motors. Why even have a human shooter with all their breathing and giggly muscles. Already broadcasts to your phone, just laser mark the target and let the gun do it's thing (that's essentially what's happening anyway.)

  16. Re:But it was a "Zony Baio" semi-brand name... on Possible Cyber Attack Against South Korean Banks and TV Stations · · Score: 1

    No, has nothing to do with pronunciation. You'd actually see knockoff computers with these types of labels on their products and on the boxes. Always made me laugh to see what creative ways they'd come up with to alter the original brands. Zony, Tony, Panasoanic, etc.

  17. One-time online activation. on Ask Slashdot: What Is a Reasonable Way To Deter Piracy? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    One-time online activation seems to work pretty well and as an end-user I find this the least objectionable. Issue a unique code to the user and have them enter that into an online form and give them an activation code. Make sure the user can find this unique code/activation again if at some point in time they need to reinstall the product and limit the number of re-installs allowed to some reasonable number.

  18. But it was a "Zony Baio" semi-brand name... on Possible Cyber Attack Against South Korean Banks and TV Stations · · Score: 1

    That's why you don't buy the computers wrapped in saran wrap at the Yongsan electronics mall...

  19. How do rat's pass that? on Scientists Grow Replacement Human Teeth In Mouse Kidneys · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ouch, talk about a nasty kidney stone...

  20. Perfect time to switch over to Base10 Star Dates! on Is Daylight Saving Time Worth Saving? · · Score: 1

    "Captain's log...."

  21. Still using my original Model M on Cherry's New Keyboard Switches Emulate IBM Model M Feel · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nothing beats the original... I said, 'NOTHING BEATS THE ORIGINAL!' (needed to shout over the keyclick noise...) ;-)

  22. Doesn't hosting actually require electricity? on The Pirate Bay Claims It Is Now Hosting From North Korea · · Score: 1

    Just saying...

  23. Explosive bolts would have been more dramatic... on DRM Chair Self-Destructs After 8 Uses · · Score: 1

    The slow melting was okay, but since it was electrically activated, I think explosive bolts would have been far more dramatic...

  24. Requisite Ace Ventura clip... on Parcel Sensor Knows When Your Delivery Has Been Dropped · · Score: 1

    Ace Ventura package delivery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q6_9A90cUk

  25. No more eating in at your desk... on Why Google Needs To Launch the Chromebook Pixel · · Score: 1

    I don't want cheesy-poof grease on my screen.
