  1. Re:Of course it was calm on 8.2 Earthquake Off the Coast of Chile, Tsunami Triggered · · Score: 2

    Not to mention that New Orleans should not be there any more. A new city was built a long time ago on the other side of the lake, but a few people insisted on not moving and rather getting flooded multiple times.

  2. Beaglebone Black on Intel Upgrades MinnowBoard: Baytrail CPU, Nearly Halves Price To $99 · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I think the Beaglebone Black still beats it for embedded jobs.

  3. Re:"many time more faster" on MariaDB 10 Released, Now With NoSQL Support · · Score: 1

    Me fail English? That is unpossible!

  4. Re:fine grammer on MariaDB 10 Released, Now With NoSQL Support · · Score: 1

    If you were a real grammar nazi, then would have known that the correct form is 'better than'.

  5. Re:If you can't beat 'em, join 'em on NSA Infiltrated RSA Deeper Than Imagined · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Why? Because the Yanks realized that the European encryption tools are stronger than the American and they wanted people to use their inferior algorithms. That is why. Any self respecting computer Geek knew that all along.

  6. Tobacco dust on West Nile Virus May Have Met Its Match: Tobacco · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My father got tobacco dust for free at the local ciggie factory (the owner was a friend) and spread it in the garden to control insect pests.

  7. Re:Old News on Researchers: Rats Didn't Spread Black Death, Humans Did · · Score: 2

    Dr Zeus I presume.

  8. Catia on How Ford's Virtual Reality Lab Helps Engineers · · Score: 1

    ...and everybody else just use Catia...

    Oh, well, what the hell.

  9. Rest of the world on China Arrests 1,500 People For Sending Spam Messages From Fake Mobile Bases · · Score: 1

    This will probably spread to the rest of the world now. Does anybody remember Microsoft Messaging and cable modems?

  10. 1980s fuzzy search called on TSA Missed Boston Bomber Because His Name Was Misspelled In a Database · · Score: 1

    Until somebody re-invents fuzzy search, this will remain a problem for transliterations between Roman and Russian alphabets.

  11. Re:Who'll spit on my burger?! on Job Automation and the Minimum Wage Debate · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Betcha if there is a pretty little girl in a short skirt at the checkout, next to a self serve, then you would happily stand in the 50 person line-up...

  12. Print your own certificate on Ask Slashdot: Fastest, Cheapest Path To a Bachelor's Degree? · · Score: 1

    Come on, what is cheaper than that?

  13. Re:good for USA, but he still should be prosecuted on Jimmy Carter: Snowden Disclosures Are 'Good For Americans To Know' · · Score: 1

    Eish... where did yous go to skool?

    Peddle = to sell craft in a flea market
    Pedal = to pedal a bicycle
    Back Pedal = to engage the reverse pedal brakes of a bike to slow down, or reverse on a bike with a fixed cog.

  14. Re:Welcom to the group - China, North korea and Ir on Turkish Finance Minister Defends Twitter Ban · · Score: 1

    On the contrary, all 12 computers in NK are internet connected...

  15. Re:Oh the humanity! on Goodyear's New State-of-the-Art Airship Makes Its First Flight · · Score: 2

    To be totally fair, the Germans are not the only people that built and crashed large airships. The USA and UK also built huge ships and they all crashed horribly.

  16. !Good - GIGO on Navy Database Tracks Civilians' Parking Tickets, Fender-Benders · · Score: 1

    Garbage In, Garbage Out (GIGO).

    Collecting, storing and distributing trivial data is a waste of time and resources.

    The money could be better spent employing more Bobbies on the Beat doing real police work. The redundant databases only aids the large tech companies like IBM, Cisco, Microsoft and Oracle. It does sweet blue all for actual security and safety.

  17. Navy Security Agency on Navy Database Tracks Civilians' Parking Tickets, Fender-Benders · · Score: -1

    So that is what NSA means.

  18. Re:You're getting old? on Ask Slashdot: Re-Learning How To Interview As a Developer? · · Score: -1

    Dyeing your hair is probably the most important advice! However, once you are in your 50s, you should not be doing coding anymore, you should be applying for management positions and then grey matter actually helps.

  19. could of been on New Information May Narrow Down Malaysian Jet's Path · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    "could of been": Is this Engrish or Ebonics?

  20. Ed is the Standard Editor on Google Android Studio Vs. Eclipse: Which Fits Your Needs? · · Score: 1

    Vi, bah, you kids...

  21. Re:Least interest on Security Industry Incapable of Finding Firmware Attackers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wrong. All an infected BIOS call needs to do is launch a process that will keep running and do its damndest when the system is up.

  22. Groucho Marx masks on Facebook's Face Identification Project Is Accurate 97.25% of the Time · · Score: 1

    A better approach is for everyone to wear Groucho Marx masks, that makes everybody look the same.

  23. India and Africa's primitive masses on Solar-Powered Toilet Torches Waste For Public Health · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The first problem is that the vast majority of people in India and Africa are too stupid/lazy to even dig simple long drop latrines. They are also in the habit of breaking/stealing *anything*. How on earth will you get this kind of useless primitives to build and maintain these complicated sterilizing latrines?

  24. Re:Try a composting toilet... on Solar-Powered Toilet Torches Waste For Public Health · · Score: 2, Informative

    Composting human waste is fantastic for spreading human diseases all over the food supply...

  25. Re:But what does it taste like on 43,000-Year-Old Woolly Mammoth Remains Offer Strong Chance of Cloning · · Score: 1

    Tasted like chicken obviously, which would explain why they all got eaten.
