  1. Re:Certainly, this makes him ... on Mathematical Parrot Reveals His Genius With Posthumous Paper · · Score: 1

    He should have been good at Polynomial algebra...

  2. Non-Arabic Arabic Numerals on Mathematical Parrot Reveals His Genius With Posthumous Paper · · Score: 1

    Has anyone wondered why the Arabs don't use 'Arabic Numerals'?

  3. Re:what about the blind? on Aging Eyes Blamed For Seniors' Health Woes · · Score: 1

    No, no, they can't investigate the blind, professional welders or farm workers, since the results from multiple data points will likely ruin their business model.

  4. Wrong calibre on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    Well, obviously, next time the hunters should use a bigger rifle and aim a whole lot lower, since the UAV operators were obviously not scared off...

  5. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    ...cause the noise from the copter shooed them all away?

  6. Re:How else they gonna do it? on Nuclear Truckers Haul Warheads Across US · · Score: 1

    Bingo. A little subterfuge can go a long way.

  7. Re:164 feet? on Successful Test Flight and Landing for Xombie Rocket Lander and GENIE · · Score: 1

    Well, to be able to fly, they need to miss the Earth, and missing it by 1.28cm may be all that is needed.

  8. Re:What could go wrong? on Google Working On Password Generator For Chrome · · Score: 1

    Higlight Middle click ;)

  9. Re:Figures It Would Be The Swiss on Swiss To Build Orbital Cleaning Satellite · · Score: 2

    Just like Americans and throw-away junk satellites re-inforce that stereotype!

  10. Re:...with another bullet on Swiss To Build Orbital Cleaning Satellite · · Score: 2

    Easy, Wall-E cleaned up the whole earth.

  11. We just need more desalination on Is Agriculture Sucking Fresh Water Dry? · · Score: 1

    There is no shortage of water on this planet. Just a shortage of cheap water.

  12. Everything degrades in sunlight on A Paper Alloy To Replace Plastic Cases · · Score: 2

    Some things just need to be uncomfortably close to the sun before it will degrade...

  13. Data wants to be free on Unauthorized iOS Apps Leak Private Data Less Than Approved Ones · · Score: 1

    Clearly, there seems to be a need for a privacy firewall, that will filter all data on a computer system, somewhat like the military 'data-diodes'.

  14. Roll over... on Mozart and Bach Handel Subway Station Crime · · Score: 1

    So, will Roll Over Beethoven have the same beneficial effect?

  15. Re:I have an idea for the style guide on Why Microsoft Developers Need a Style Guide · · Score: 1

    You mean hUngarian nOtation.

  16. Re:Good luck with all that, you idiots ... on Australian Govt Holding Secretive Anti-Piracy Talks · · Score: 1

    Brilliant dude.

  17. Re:This of you who refuse to read French on From the Nuremberg Toy Fair, a New Linux System For RC Cars · · Score: 2

    It was all Greek to me...

  18. Electronic exchanges since circa 1970 on All-IP Network Produces $100B Real Estate Windfall · · Score: 1

    Why only have a 'windfall' now? Electronic exchanges have been around since about 1970, making thousands of electro-mechanical switch buildings obsolete. The latest miniaturization step is just one in a long series.

  19. Land fill methane on Power Plant Converts Fruit and Veggie Waste Into Natural Gas For Cars · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Methane gas is recovered from many land fill sites. Nothing new to see here, please move along.

  20. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail... on Hacked Syrian Officials Used '12345' As Email Password · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The password doesn't matter if your account is at a place where everything is already readable by the Man.

  21. gmailfs and gmail drive on Google Close To Launching Cloud Storage 'Google Drive' · · Score: 1

    Actually gmailfs and gmail drive have been around for ages and will likely remain easier to use.

  22. Embedded controllers on Ask Slashdot: Where Are the Open Source Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Almost all embedded projects use FOSS and embedded devices outnumber desktop devices by two orders of magnitude, so there actually are bazillions of FOSS jobs out there, they are just not advertised as such.

  23. Re:Don't worry on FAA Bill Authorizes Surveillance Drones Over US · · Score: 2

    Actually the problem is that the air traffic controllers will *not* have these little blips on their screens. The little drones are not visible on radar/distinguishable from birds and a big plane flying into a little one is a real concern.

  24. Re:BS Summary and Article title on Australian Scientists Discover 'Oldest Living Thing On Earth' · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm sure you wife will think that explains it all.

  25. Re:The ocean frontier - not on Remembering Sealab · · Score: 2

    The Moon is much closer than Mars and since all planets are made of the same schtuff, it should also have water, oil and gas just like all the other planets.
