  1. Re:If Elon made an iPod on SpaceX Pressure Hammers Stuck Valves; Dragon's ISS Mission Back On Track · · Score: 2

    Well, it is not like launching a capsule is rocket science. Making an iPod though...

  2. Re:Anyoe else sick of this guy? on SpaceX Pressure Hammers Stuck Valves; Dragon's ISS Mission Back On Track · · Score: 2

    Astronauts? Space-x astronauts? You are a little premature.

  3. Re:This is actually happening! on SpaceX Launching Dragon Capsule to ISS Today · · Score: 1

    If you actually read the history and ignore the news papers, then you may realize that the USA has never been at war with Russia. In all the real wars, Russia was an ally.

  4. Re:cargo on SpaceX Launching Dragon Capsule to ISS Today · · Score: 1

    The Russians take the garbage out to burn up on re-entry. Dragon will bring stuff they don't want to burn up.

  5. Re:becasue Apple never on Among Servers, Apple's Mac Mini Quietly Gains Ground · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Middle bear". I wonder how many people won't get that. I'm also wondering whether a becasue is bigger than a decasue and whether a sue is a unit of measure used by lawyers?

  6. Gold on Ask Slashdot: Projects For a Heap of Tech Junk? · · Score: 1

    From that lot of junk you can probably only recover the metals: gold, aluminium and steel.

  7. Big Dog now Little Elephant on BigDog Robot Grabs, Lifts, and Throws Cinder Blocks With Its New Arm · · Score: 1

    They should rename it.

  8. Bolted to the wall... on Smartphone Screen Real Estate: How Big Is Big Enough? · · Score: 0

    I am old enough to remember the old wooden block phones that looked like a Dalek bolted to the wall and which required two hands to operate: One to hold the ear piece, one to wind the ringer and then you get "Number please???" from the lady at the exchange.

  9. Re:Radiation shielding on Dennis Tito's 2018 Mars Mission To Be Manned · · Score: 1

    ...and if they don't they won't. One takes one's chances.

  10. Re:Very VERY stupid idea... on Dennis Tito's 2018 Mars Mission To Be Manned · · Score: 1

    ...the money could be used to feed all the hungry children in Africa for 10 million years and prevent global warming...

    The poor will always be with us.

  11. Re:The best laptop on the market today on Ask Slashdot: Can Quickoffice On Chromebooks Topple Microsoft's Office? · · Score: 1

    "Your (sic) comes off"

  12. Pop-ups? on What a 'Six Strikes' Copyright Notice Looks Like · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who in this day and age still has pop-ups enabled in their browsers?

  13. Re:Why is it so hard? on How Close Is Iran, Really, To Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 1

    Not too hard, just very expensive. Even little South Africa made A-bombs 30 years ago.

  14. Re:units? on HP Back In Tablet Game With Android-Based 'Slate7' · · Score: 2

    grams per kibigram?

  15. Kindle HD on HP Back In Tablet Game With Android-Based 'Slate7' · · Score: 0

    Well, so far I haven't found something that beats the sound of the Kindle HD, but it is tempting to buy this thing just because it runs stock Android.

  16. Obvious - best seller before it is printed - duh on Buying Your Way Onto the NY Times Bestsellers List · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is pretty obvious that a printer cannot know that a book will be on a best seller list before it is printed and there is no way to print covers retroactively. Yet, lots of people probably get fooled by it.

  17. Re:Absurdity at its best on Lessons From the Papal Conclave About Election Security · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Why do they need to vote at all? God could simply inscribe the name of the pope on the wall.

  18. So you are saying that MS is the lowest common denominator. I guess you can say that again.

  19. It seems to be a point of poof...

  20. Look, if Destro is selling expirtys in my neighbourhood, then I want a slice!

  21. Re:Does it have decent ad blocking yet? on Google Releases Chrome 25 With Voice Recognition Support · · Score: 4, Funny

    Since Google is an ad company, you are going to sleep for a looong time dude.

  22. Re:Call it neo-feudalism. on For Businesses, the College Degree Is the New High School Diploma · · Score: 1

    USAsians need not take on heavy debt to study. There are many lower cost schools. They could go and study elsewhere such as in Canada. They could even, god forbid, work part-time on a McJob to pay for school. Trouble is the notion of starting at the bottom is "beneath" the young graduates. A degree doesn't entitle one to a job.

  23. CompSci==Burger Flipping on For Businesses, the College Degree Is the New High School Diploma · · Score: 1

    Well, ever since the dotbomb years, a CompSci degree guaranteed a burger flipping McJob. This is probably because one needs to understand binary to do a flip. Also knowing primitive languages helps to deal with phrases like "ya want fries wizzat?".

  24. Re:Quit promoting it when it doesn't work on Flu Shot Doing Poor Job of Protecting Older People This Year · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And your homeopathics worked against smallpox too? Go back to the middle ages bozo.

  25. Re:twitter email on Zendesk Compromised; Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest Users Affected · · Score: 1

    I have an outlook.com account that I never check for this type of stuff. MS has caused me so much grief over the years, that I feel they can pay for processing my spam.
