  1. Re:NRA on Bill Regulating 3D Printed Guns Announced In NYC · · Score: 4, Informative

    There really needs to be a "-1, factually incorrect" option.

    The NRA is completely on board with legal homemade guns, and membership dues and advertisements are the majority of their income.

  2. Re:A liberal city. on Lawsuit Challenges New York Sugary Drink Ban · · Score: 1

    The one day I don't have mod points...

  3. Re:I agree on Long Takes In the Movies, Antidote To CGI? · · Score: 1

    Actually, the blood getting on the camera wasn't intentional, and nearly ruined the shot. The director liked it well enough, but felt that after a while it was distracting so they digitally erased it. The shot itself, however, was never broken.

  4. Re:EP 3 W00T W00T! on Portal Update Hints At New Game · · Score: 1

    Where are my mod points when I actually want to use them?

  5. Re:What about ADAM? on One Variety of Sea Slugs Cuts Out the Energy Middleman · · Score: 1

    Finally. I saw the headline and came here hoping for a plethora of BIOSHOCK jokes. I'm disappointed in you, Slashdot!

  6. Re:dude like wth on Inventor Builds Robot Wife · · Score: 2, Informative

    Don't sign your post with Summer Glau unless you spell it correctly.

  7. Re:I know it's a pet peeve on The Cyber Crime Hall of Fame · · Score: 5, Funny

    Only on Slashdot would a post explaining the technical differences between viruses, trojans, and worms be modded offtopic. Naturally, my mod points expired yesterday.

  8. Re:Damn you, technology! on GPS Tracking Device Beats Radar Gun in Court · · Score: 5, Informative

    A series of lights.

    As in, more than one light, and based on which ones were lit, the driver's speed is indicated.
    For example:
    1 light = 10 mph.
    2 lights = 30 mph
    8 lights = 100mph
    If that still doesn't make sense, then you're just too retarded to understand.

  9. Re:Wake up people on Apple Files Suit Against Psystar · · Score: 1

    I'm a Scientologist, you insensitive clod!

    I mean, er... What are your crimes??

  10. Re:YAY! on Writers Strike Officially Over · · Score: 1

    I actually have mod points, but instead I'm replying to you.

    Terminator premiered on Sunday night after whatever big football playoff game was on that evening, then aired a second episode in its normal timeslot the next night. (That would be Monday.) It's been on Monday ever since. Not that FOX hasn't done more than their share of dumb things, but this show has been promoted like crazy since the summer, and they've not "moved" it around at all. Plus all of the episodes are available through FOX's website.

    I know it's the American way and all, but don't blame them for your stupidity.

  11. Go FIT Go. on Web Ads Work Better Than TV Ads · · Score: 1

    I bought mine back in July after going in to test drive a Civic. Liked the Fit a hell of a lot more. Ridiculously roomy inside and I was hitting 40 mpg while doing 85 on the freeway.
    Just make sure you spring for the Sport edition. The slightly larger rims and spoiler aren't that big a deal, but the upgraded sound system includes little tweeters up front. For me, that was a really nice touch.

  12. MOD up. on How Not to Build a Cellphone · · Score: 1

    If I had mod points, I would totally use them on this.

    I have the same problem with #1. I have a hearing impairment, and while sometimes I can hear fine, some people speak softly or I'm in a noisy area and it would be great to turn it up louder.

  13. Don't mind me, I'm just trying for +2, Funny. on Arm Wrestling Machine Recalled for Breaking Arms · · Score: 5, Funny

    Life is not a Joss Whedon TV show.

    Gorrammit, it should be!

  14. Re:Obvious on RIAA Backtracks After Embarrassing P2P Defendant · · Score: 1

    Took long enough for someone to say it. I was looking all over the linked article for it too.

  15. Re:ummm, no. on Small Electric Car May Usher In Big Changes · · Score: 1

    As the owner of a brand new Honda Fit, I have to agree. All of the sudden I'm seeing so many of the darn things, it's just insane.

  16. I'm OT, bite me. Mod parent UP. on FBI Seeks To Restrict University Student Freedoms · · Score: 1

    Damn, I come home to read this and my mod points JUST expired. Damn.

  17. Re:I am torn on Evolution of the 'Captcha' · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think really we should be switching to riddles instead of captchas. "What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon and four in the evening?" Thought it was three in the evening, not four.

    Yes, but that's what makes it such a challenge. Getting the riddle right when the joke is wrong will REALLY confuse the bots!
  18. Re: Sorta cool on A Chip on DVDs Could Prevent Theft · · Score: 1

    Someone stole a display computer, walked it over to the service desk, made up some bogus issue with the ($2000) PC, balked at the estimate, and carried "their" PC out the door, with the staff holding the door for them!

    Wow. The balls that guy must have had... damn. Obviously they figured it out later, but was the guy caught?

  19. Re:Shill? on Democrats Appoint RIAA Shill For Convention · · Score: 1

    Yes, because one man in a country that's completely INSIDE an enemy's capital can really do so much. (and yet, he still did) And if you think he was silent, you really need to reread your history. Chief Rabbi Herzog(their 'pope'), Albert Einstein, Lapide(Israeli consul to Italy), Goldmann(President of WJC), Weizmann(1st President of Israel), etc... The New York Times ran pieces about him during the war speaking about the things he was doing for the Jewish people. Go be an idiot somewhere else.

  20. If I post like this, it's redundant. on AACS Cracked Again · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If I post like this, it's redundant. Quit saying, cuz I've seen some redundantly repetitive first posts. Not this one, but I have seen some posts that completely repeat themselves quite frequently.

  21. Re:Star Trek comm badge logic on Computer Interaction in Science Fiction Movies · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Come on, this is Slashdot. Anyone who utters that statement here should explode from the sheer redundancy of that statement.

    See this, this was actually funny! I miss the ponies and the pink. Best April Fools ever.

    You remind of the Doctor.
    What Doctor?

    You do.
    Do what?

    Neither am I, but your analogy/example/whatever is just as flawed as the original article.
