  1. google... on Trimble To Acquire Google SketchUp · · Score: 0

    Just don't give a shit.

  2. They really don't say much. on Pixel Qi Says Next-Gen Displays Meet or Beat iPad 3 Screen Quality · · Score: 1

    I am all for advancing display tech. But I'll believe it when I see it. Pixel Q has made a lot of headlines over the last few years with little to show. All they do in this release is say how much better it is than iPad 3 display --- over and over again. Trying to generate some hype maybe? They could have been a little more subtle with their hype and drawn comparisons from other screens on leading devices.

  3. FBI = DOS? on FBI Seizes Server Providing Anonymous Remailer Service · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it has occurred to the FBI that by yanking a server with other individuals and business' stuff on it, that they are conducting a DOS much like anonymous. It seems they played right into their hands even if it wasn't their intention to offer said hand. To the FBI: smooth move ex-lax.

  4. New Tradition on Happy World Amateur Radio Day · · Score: 2

    Today should be celebrated by eating ham for dinner.

  5. CMYK on GIMP Core Mostly Ported to GEGL · · Score: 1

    Pardon me while I go all giggly school girl. I've been waiting for this since the 90's: OMG! LIKE FINALLY!

  6. Re:Time to boot Oregon Trail on The Apple II Turns 35 Today · · Score: 1

    Ah memories. If I had a mod point for you. Cheers old timer.

    Wonder if I can get the apple ][ version of that game running under emulation or maybe it's off written in javascript or flash somewhere...

  7. Re:Broadband cable? on All-Optical Networks: the Last Piece of the Puzzle · · Score: 1, Informative

    Not the last bit to your home. That's still copper. Hence all-optical. Or something like that. This article might be too over my head to be commenting.

  8. Re:*Facepalms* on Treating Depression With Electrodes Inside the Brain · · Score: 1

    That comment was so utterly ignorant and insulting I don't know where to start. You clearly are not a victim of irrational clinical depression. You have no idea what you are talking about.

  9. Re:Choice on Reddit Subpoenaed In Wrongful Death Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Clearly you don't suffer from clinical depression. It's a whole different reality from the common human experience. Under such a condition you can easily loose your free will to a great roaring abyss that you clearly don't understand and I hope you never do. That's why people like this need help and are easily coerced into yet darker and colder places. He didn't jump. He was pushed by the growing darkness consuming his mind, rational thought, and free will.

  10. Why apple waited so long... on Apple Developing Tool To Remove Flashback · · Score: 2

    Because they are working on the next version of OS X: Honey badger. It don't give a shit.

  11. Re:Why not fewer students and more face-to-face ti on Bringing Auto-Graders To Student Essays · · Score: 1

    You must have had the luxury of very small classes. There were about 30 - 40 people in my english 101 class and then another 30 - 40 for the two or three 101 classes that followed during that same day.

  12. Ping on Atari Wants To Reinvent Pong · · Score: 1

    Maybe they could call it Ping. You bounce a packet back and fourth down tunnels that represent complex circuits. First your packet has to survive the route that you have a split second to pick, then the other player sends it back the same. The routes constantly change.

  13. Free as in... on Brewing Beer With Free Software · · Score: 2

    I'm so confused.

  14. Lab Science it Stays on Training an Immune System To Kill Cancer: a Universal Strategy · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that for at least the last five years I have been reading about novel and allegedly very effective treatments for caner being developed in labs (gold nano particles, etc...) There have been a lot. Yet in the laboratory they stay. I realize what it takes to drag something through the FDA but why not unleash these future technologies on people facing certain death from cancer in the present? There are lots and lots after all. It would be the ultimate trial of these technologies. If I were facing certain death from some type of cancer I would insist that these new sciences be unleashed up on me.

  15. Re:The Worlds Most Valuable Company on How Steve Jobs Patent-Trolled Bill Gates · · Score: 0

    To be fair none of us *need* technology at all unless it is medical related. Oh wait, aren't a lot of doctors in hospitals using iPads to streamline their workflow these days? All the same I respect your ID so you can have my last mod point as interesting.

  16. Trash dumps in general on Where Next-Generation Rare Earth Metals May Come From · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have long held the idea that a future industry will be the comprehensive mining of trash dumps.

  17. Essentially looks the same? on What the iPad 3 Looks Like · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe they could sue themselves over it.

  18. GIMME A BREAK ALREADY! on Apple Launches New Legal Attack On Samsung · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I am long time apple user. I love their OS, their software, and they way they implement those things on elegant hardware. I will probably always be a mac (and linux) user. (disclaimer: I use an android).

    But all I can say anymore to mainly apple and a lesser extent other manufactures is:

    Give me a fucking break already! Aim for cooperation and interoperability. Those two things would benefit end users on both sides more than spending billions on squabbling! All of these endless back and forth lawsuits is ruining both the mac and android experience for me. I know I'm kinda rambling but I'm getting to a tipping point. Looking forward to WebOS this September.

  19. Life is... on Boiling Down the Meaning of Life · · Score: 1

    Life is paradoxically coincidental to the ironical tyranny applicable to the unparalleled definition of reverse entropy.

  20. Re:A merciful god on Journalist Arrested By Interpol For Tweet · · Score: 1

    I never said I was surprised.

  21. A merciful god on Journalist Arrested By Interpol For Tweet · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Kashgari faces the death penalty in Saudi Arabia."

    In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate - funny how that works.
    If you don't get what I'm saying go thumb through the Quaran.

  22. web vs. intranet site on The Gradual Death of the Brick and Mortar Tech Store · · Score: 5, Informative

    Let's not forgot that this is the same place where if you go in citing a price on their website they will pull up an intranet site that is a clone of bestbuy.com with different prices to "prove" you wrong. Getting busted for that was the end of me shopping there.

  23. Re:Sigh on 3,500 Year Old Florida Tree Dies of Natural Causes · · Score: 1

    While there have certainly been a couple "WTF is this doing on Slashdot" stories over the past couple weeks, I would say this falls in well with nerd news. If a 3,500 year old tree had been discovered an article would rightfully make it's way here. 3,500 year old tree burns down deserves the same. It is scientifically interesting. I also find it ironic that your post is really just flamebait.

  24. Re:The Decline of Slashdot on Sinclair ZX81 Made Out of Lego · · Score: 2

    I mean bye bye - doh!

  25. The Decline of Slashdot on Sinclair ZX81 Made Out of Lego · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The singularity hub might make a good replacement for slashdot. They have all the great nerdy articles but nothing of psychics on the moon or lego calculators that can't actually calculate. They have a commenting system but no users to comment. We have the commenting users, they have great content. Sucks to say this as I have been here since 97

    singularityhub.com

    by by karma, something had to be said.
