  1. Re:The only fix for vampire draw on Tesla Model S Has Bizarre 'Vampire-Like' Thirst For Electricity At Night · · Score: 1

    Wow man, a bed with active air suspension - I think you may be onto something there.

  2. Re:The only fix for vampire draw on Tesla Model S Has Bizarre 'Vampire-Like' Thirst For Electricity At Night · · Score: 1

    The Amerikin speling is 'coloring'.

  3. Re:The only fix for vampire draw on Tesla Model S Has Bizarre 'Vampire-Like' Thirst For Electricity At Night · · Score: 1

    Yup, don't buy a ladder in America. You'll slip on the warning stickers...

  4. Thought Crimes on Driver Arrested In Ohio For Secret Car Compartment Full of Nothing · · Score: 2

    The planet Vulcan is the American future.

  5. Re:I keep my data locally. Almost... on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Protect Your Privacy These Days? Or Do You? · · Score: 1

    Really? How do you do your banking? Banks don't even have branches with real people anymore.

  6. Re:Unplug. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Protect Your Privacy These Days? Or Do You? · · Score: 2

    False positives is one problem. Do you want to have your life ruined by a database error caused by a PFY in a spook data centre?

  7. Re:Snowden on Indonesian Politicians Plan To Quiz Snowden Following Visit By Russians · · Score: 1

    Yes, I do think that it is a good thing, since I am not an American. I really don't like having my bank transactions, phone calls and email tapped by Pimple Faced Youth Voyeurs in America, especially since the whole effort is totally useless and hasn't prevented a single damn thing.

  8. Re:Best for them to take drastic sanctions against on Indonesian Politicians Plan To Quiz Snowden Following Visit By Russians · · Score: 1

    None of the above. The German Chancellor and the Brazillian president were simply on General Alexander's private Hot Chick Voyeur list. The Indonesian president must have been on the Australian prime minister's Toy Boy list I suppose.

  9. Re:What about Copy? on Cloud Storage Comparison: Benchmarking From Afar · · Score: 0

    Thanks for that link!

  10. Re:I don't usually predict winners in Wars on A War Over Solar Power Is Raging Within the GOP · · Score: 1

    Sun clearly lost to Oracle.

    Come on, this is Slashdot after all.

  11. Re:What about milk, eggs, and 'meat'? on NASA's Next Frontier: Growing Plants On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Won't work. The cow will jump over the moon.

  12. Re:Non SI units on NASA's Next Frontier: Growing Plants On the Moon · · Score: 1

    A bean is wood and most wood floats.

  13. Re:Non SI units on NASA's Next Frontier: Growing Plants On the Moon · · Score: 1

    You wish. Starbucks ain't Hooters.

  14. Weed and Dandilions on NASA's Next Frontier: Growing Plants On the Moon · · Score: 3, Funny

    They should plant weed and dandelions. It will grow anywhere. Pretty soon the whole moon will be green.

  15. Crappy scope on Ask Slashdot: What's On Your Hardware Lab Bench? · · Score: 1

    Well, with the kind of crappy scope the OP has, it is no wonder that he doesn't turn it on. He should junk it and buy a better scope, since with a junk scope you can't see anything in a fast modern circuit.

  16. Re:Food for thought on Texas Drivers Stopped At Roadblock, Asked For Saliva, Blood · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A horse is an autonomous vehicle with collision avoidance and return home features built in. A car is not. Not yet anyway.

  17. Totally unhackable on Boston Cops Outraged Over Plans to Watch Their Movements Using GPS · · Score: 5, Interesting

    OK, guys, no cruisers within 20 minutes from here - let's hit them.

  18. Re:As a Safari User... on Google to Pay $17 Million to Settle Privacy Case · · Score: 2

    Yup, so you can pay less tax... MUHAHAHA!

  19. Email is insecure by design on Yahoo Encrypting Data In Wake of NSA Revelations · · Score: 1

    Normal Email is insecure by design. Yahoo cannot fix it. If you want to secure your email, then you got to do so at the end points, or quit using email.

  20. Re:It will be ok. on Tremors Mean Antarctic Volcanism May Be Heating Up · · Score: 0

    Man made carbon? I don't think there is much man made carbon. It would be bladdy expensive to make carbon and much easier to just dig up some coal.

  21. Re:Uhh on Time For a Warrant Canary Metatag? · · Score: 2

    (I am not a lawyer, but I studied military law.) Judges are not stupid. So if you are served with a gag order and then kill your canary through action or inaction, then you will go to jail, because you have signaled something in contravention of the gag order.

  22. Contempt of Court on Time For a Warrant Canary Metatag? · · Score: 1

    Interference with an investigation, and so on. Judges are not stupid and can put you in jail forever and a day for the above. So, no, these tricks will not work.

  23. Re:Oh my. on Your Phone Number Is Going To Get a Reputation Score · · Score: 1

    Forget the phone, just buy a sim card to get a number.

  24. Re:Uhhh... on Your Phone Number Is Going To Get a Reputation Score · · Score: 4, Funny

    That must have been a comment from a NSA employee. It was 2 paragraphs before it was redacted.

  25. Slide Rule on Ask Slashdot: Cheap Second Calculators For Tests? · · Score: 2

    Pros: No batteries, no TEMPEST emissions, no NSA snooping...
