  1. Re:saves time and money! on How Do You Handle Your Keys? · · Score: 1

    The day your bulge of keys is what you're concerned about is the day you realized you're not doing anything to challenge yourself or not pushing yourself to do something seriously worthwhile.

    Says the man posting on the Shrine of Well Spent Time that is Slashdot. :P

  2. Re:It says adult diapers on Japanese Company Turns Diapers Into Energy Source · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's like The Matrix but with old people.

  3. Re:bad journalism on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: 1

    Nice try but you can't fool me. Everyone knows traditional lasers now look more like Jumbo Jets.

  4. Re:bad journalism on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: 5, Funny

    And from the article

    you'll have to suspend all previous notions about what a laser looks like. This one is basically a giant factory full of tubes.

    Ted Stevens, is that you?

  5. Re:It's amazing on Lego Robot Solves Bigger and Harder Rubik's Cubes · · Score: 1

    If you think that's good, take a look at the rest of the internet. It's awe inspiring.

  6. Re:Sold Stolen Property to Highest Bidder on The 4G iPhone's Finder Reportedly Located · · Score: 1

    But doesn't this give Apple's competitors a heads-up on what is coming next? It certainly pisses on Job's next keynote at the least...

  7. Re:Very well then on Brain Training Games Don't Train Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Yes, I was joking. Sarcasm may be the lowest form of wit but because I excercise, it's as least as good as slapstick.

  8. Re:Very well then on Brain Training Games Don't Train Your Brain · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yes, you might be as dumb as pig shit but at least you'll look buff.

  9. Re:Gotta love... on Extremists Warn South Park Creators Over Muhammad In a Bear Suit · · Score: 1

    As an example, the dudes who plotted 9/11 because of americans killing muslims in other countries probably shared exactly that belief.

    Death-by-marketing gets him on the board.

    "Somke" was reported from the cabin

    Ah yes, the icelandic trout. Most modern airliners now have somke detectors for just such problems.

    Democracy is such a farse.

  14. Re:Get rid of them entirely on Wall St. Trading Servers To Power Off-Hour Clouds? · · Score: 1

    why do you want to sell something you just bought in an auction? Everybody in the room already said they wouldn't pay what you paid.

    Because the information available on stocks (market data, economic data, news, etc....) changes very quickly. All those thousands of financial intruments and economic indicators are all interrelated.

  15. Re:Get rid of them entirely on Wall St. Trading Servers To Power Off-Hour Clouds? · · Score: 1

    some exchanges actually sell pre-zero-sec access

    I work in Europe doing exchange connectivity (using Wombat/direct connections) for a major investment bank and I've never come accross anything better than servers co-located at the exchange. I always imagined that anything "pre-zero" or different data would be illegal in the civilised world. Which exchange are you talking about? I'll talk to my traders and get them a connection...

    That's the same whether you use an internet connected PC or a regular TV set.

  21. Re:Testing is a bad path on Best Way To Land Entry-Level Job? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think what he means is that a lot of people want to work in IT just because the money is better than being an accountant or whatever. These people are usually (but not always) crappy coders because they're not really all that more interested in IT than accountancy. When I look to hire a guy as a programmer, I want to hire the guy that has been tinkering around with PCs since he was 10.

  22. Re:Damn on Facebook Leads To Increase In STDs in Britain · · Score: 1

    Head over to Facebook where an encounter with an alien being can leave you with a very different kind of Klingons to defend yourself against.

    Anyway, you could learn a thing or two from Shatner he's probably very knowledgeable on the subject. There are few people who could shed light on what happens when you stick your 'enterprise' into something blue.

    Yes, coke and chocolate in particular taste worse in US than say, Europe, but yet perversely it's worse for you. Something's really wrong about that.
