  1. Re:What I miss in chatbots (to seem human) on Chatbot Eugene Wins Biggest Turing Test Ever · · Score: 1

    Or if it'd throw in a relevant reference to an internet meme now and then...

    I for one welcome our chatbot overlords.

  2. Re:Mixed feelings on ADA May Force Netflix To Provide Closed Captioning On Content · · Score: 3, Funny

    Some channels actually have "descriptive audio" here. It's actually exactly what it sounds like.

    That would be hilarious. I would really like to hear some narrator attempting to describe Eraserhead.

  3. Re:In AD 2012 (cyber) War was beginning.... on While the U.S. and Iran Negotiate, War Commences In Cyberspace · · Score: 1

    Somebody set us up the Stuxnet!

    Iran is going to give a copy of Stuxnet to the Chinese military, and before you know it they'll be right back up our ass with Kuang Grade Mark Eleven cutting Pentagon ice. Next time, geniuses, get your AIs to make an icebreaker with the good sense to commit suicide after the run.

  4. Re:Set the personality sight higher: Turing himsel on Chatbot Eugene Wins Biggest Turing Test Ever · · Score: 1

    Of course, if the machine could fool Turing, himself, into thinking that the machine was himself, that would be even better.

    Once Eugene dreamt he was Turing, flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know he was Eugene. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakably Turing. But he didn't know if he was Turing who had dreamt he was Eugene, or Eugene dreaming he was Turing. Between Eugene and Turing there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things.

  5. Re:Unpopular Answer on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Watch TV In 2012? · · Score: 1

    We have Directv, but every time I turn around, some network is having a pissing contest with Dish, running ads for viewers to call Dish and demand they keep carrying the channel. And it's not just the Pottery Channel. Right now it's We-TV, but one time it was ABC.

  6. Re: The deaf are kind of militant these days on ADA May Force Netflix To Provide Closed Captioning On Content · · Score: 1

    I can see the news blurb now:

    With last year's historic ruling completely gutting ObamaCare, this year a confident Supreme Court will consider issues of far greater import. At the top of the docket in 2013, the Nine will consider the case of a child born with only the sense of smell who is suing Netflix for not providing Robert Rodriquez' "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World" in the original "4D Aroma-Scope" format.

  7. Re:Vaccum Tubes? on UK's Oldest Computer To Be "Rebooted" · · Score: 1

    Actually it was the first web server, because as Ted Stevens said, the Internet is just a series of tubes.

  8. Re:How many bits does it take to kill a human? on How Many Bits Does It Take To Kill You? · · Score: 1

    Mad cow disease, caused by prions, all self-assembling, self-replicating protein, no DNA, no RNA, answer: zero bits.

  9. What a country! on Twitter, Facebook DDoS Attack Targeted One User · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here in capitalist America whole country use Twitter to get informed. In Soviet Russia, Twitter shut down whole country to get informer!

  10. Re:Typical on Nicotine Improves Brain Function In Schizophrenics · · Score: 5, Funny

    There is research that suggests that nicotine completely rewires the pleasure centers of the brain (to make them dependent on nicotine)

    Then again, human ingenuity knows no bounds when it comes to pleasure and nicotine. Look what Clinton and Monica managed to do with that cigar.

  11. Re:Sadly... on Playing a First-Person Shooter Using Real Guns · · Score: 1

    Yeah except the real shooting simulators don't use bullets because the whole point of the simulator is to save the expense of actual bullets.

    In Soviet Russia, simulator shoot YOU, then bill family for bullets.

  12. In Soviet Russia... on Thinktank Aims To Crowdsource Government Earmark Analysis · · Score: 1

  14. This means green jobs on Finally, a True Green Laser · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm sure Al Gore is thrilled with this news of green laser technology.

  15. Run away or I shall taunt you a second time on French Police Save Millions Switching To Ubuntu · · Score: 5, Funny

    You don' frighten us, Microsoft pig-dogs!

  16. Re:Don't drop anchor where? on Mediterranean Undersea Cables Cut, Again · · Score: 1

    With oil headed for $25 a barrel the Somali Pirates gotta make a living somehow. What better way than to cut off their brother Arabs' access to bittorrent. "You don' get to pirate your Swedish orgy movies 'til you pay the real pirates, ya landlubber scalawags! Argh!"

  17. Re:Solaris to beat Linux on Toshiba To OEM Laptops With OpenSolaris · · Score: 1

    How can you be addicted to Linux and hate Unix? Those are basically the same thing.

    That's what SCO was arguing when they tried to get us to pay $699 for each "seat" running Linux. The difference is that Unix is somebody's "Pre-e-e-e-cious" and Linux is as free as old Tom Bombadil.

    "OpenSolaris is based on Sun's Solaris operating system, which is in turn based on Novell's SVRX intellectual property. Absent the removal of the 1994 Sun Agreement's confidentiality restrictions, Sun would not have been licensed to publicly release the OpenSolaris source code"

    (everybody goes "Oh!")

  21. Moot point on RIAA To Stop Prosecuting Individual File Sharers · · Score: 1

    The party has moved to Internet radio. Streamripper will record your MP3s at 128kbps and lay them nice and neat into their own directories for you while you work or sleep. The only problem you have is burning them off to DVDs when your HD gets full. And, of course, finding the time to listen to all of them. As Heinlein once said, "It's raining soup, get a bucket!"

  22. Richard Hoagland would say... on Simulations May Explain Loss of Beagle 2 Mars Probe · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...that the spin rate screwup is the official story, but what really happened is that a laser from NASA's Mars Odyessy probe took it out before the European probe took pictures of faces and canals and crystal cities that would have been outside the control of the Majestic 12 group.
