  1. Not the indented result? on Pre-Dawn Wireless Emergency Alert Wakes Up NYC · · Score: 1

    likely not the indented result of last night's exercise

    Really? People are getting all worked up over paragraph formatting when there's an emergency going on?

  2. Re:Ugh. Another Timothy Lord post on AMD/ATI Drops Windows XP Support · · Score: 1

    Still better than JonKatz. At least there are SOME facts here (the beta driver doesn't list XP as supported), instead of an axe-grinding opinion piece about how some sicko's psychopathic acts are understandable because he is really a victim of the bugbear du jour.

  3. Re:Wait, what? on iPhone 4, iPad 2 Get US Import Ban · · Score: 1

    I think a different definition of 'offensive' fits better: "repugnant to the moral sense, good taste, or the like"

  4. Re:That bad huh? on Marriages Spawned From Online Dating As Satisfying As From Traditional Dating · · Score: 1

    If cash pouring out of the wallet would lead to being able to pour hot grits down a petrified Natalie Portman's pants ....

  5. Re:Which one? on James Cameron Gives Sub To Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution · · Score: 1

    Could it be that Holly Sampson is responsible for raising the bar the next time it is needed?

  6. What about Lotus? on DOS Emulation Arrives For the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Will it run? Or is the emulator not done yet?

  7. Re:We are sorry our products are so shitty. on EA Offering Free Game to Users After SimCity Launch Problems · · Score: 1

    Sounds like someone needs some Jameson to re-enter the Matrix.

  8. Re:duke nuken on Duke Nukem 3D Code Review · · Score: 2

    Pfft. I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it. And look, there's Magnetbox and Sorny.

  9. Re:Wait a second... on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 1

    Maybe he's in the "Heroines who used total bad-asses, but then cry for 2 years at a time while still having nice butts" demographic?

  10. Re:The hard part... on Tiny Pill Relays Body Temperature of Firefighters In Real-time · · Score: 1

    Based on several movie clips I ran across on the Internet, there's a probably a big market in Germany for disposal of the used devices.

  11. All part of the plan on Windows 8 Even Less Popular Than Vista · · Score: 1

    Windows Vista was the set-up to make Windows 7 look good. Now, they are switching things up so that there is no obvious continuation of the "Bad Word Version saved by Good Numbered Version" pattern followed by ME/2000, Vista/7.

    Windows 8 is clearly lowering the bar and defecating on the playing field to make sure that Windows Chasm is a savior-success story.

  12. Is this really a priority? on USMA: Going the Extra Kilometer For Metrication · · Score: 1

    There are people out the smoking cigarettes, for crying out loud. Not to mention saving injured woodpeckers and selling fresh milk.

    Seems like there are more important things for the government to be doing rather than changing speed limit signs.

  13. Re:fabless ecosystem? on Samsung Reaches Milestone For 14nm Technology · · Score: 5, Funny

    Something Austin Powers wouldn't go near or attempt to save, I expect.

  14. Re:"Shit happened, we need to blame somebody." on School Shooting Prompts Legislation To Study Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    "Shit happened, how can I exploit it to force other people to stop doing things I dislike?" would be closer.

    The ghouls of all stripes are dancing in the blood of these children to push their own personal political agendas, whether it is banning video games, goths, guns or "loners".

  15. Re:It was Star Craft... on School Shooting Prompts Legislation To Study Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    Most, but not all.

  16. Re:it tells you one thing, at least on Adam Lanza Destroyed His Computer Before Rampage · · Score: 1

    "Assault Rifle" is a technical term, for a light rifle firing an intermediate round that is capable of selective fire, switching between semi-auto (one round fired per trigger press) and full-auto (more than one round fired per trigger press). It IS abused by the media, either through ignorance or to grind a political axe, as a term to describe any long arm used in a crime that does not look like Elmer Fudd's shotgun.

    "Assault Weapon" is the made up term by the Brady campaign to sound scary, as part of the campaign described by Eric Holder to brainwash people to their way of thinking. The truly extremist "journalists" tend to use this term.

  17. Re:It's only being renamed... on No More "Asperger's Syndrome" · · Score: 1

    It's like the tree falling in the woods: Can someone be an asshole, when there is noone in their parent's basement to hear them?

  18. Re:Damn... on No More "Asperger's Syndrome" · · Score: 1

    What about this other thing? Is that ham a "condition", not a disease?

  19. Re:I'll need to stock up on Buckyballs Throws In the Towel · · Score: 1

    If that IS his real name.....

  20. Re:Really ? on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 1

    Maybe they can get Mel Brooks under contract and we can FINALLY get to see "Jews In Space" in its entirety.

  21. Funny idea on Man Pays For Cross-Country Trip Using Bacon As Currency · · Score: 1

    And it seems like a better idea than the one Joshua Flaherty had.

  22. Re:Nuke it from orbit on Ask Slashdot: How To Clean Up My Work Computer Before I Leave? · · Score: 1

    That's the MCSE anthem, isn't it?

  23. Re:Oracle not worth it on CowboyNeal Reviews Oracle Linux · · Score: 1

    50,628 is a pretty low /. ID?

  24. Planning for the Future on Florida GoogleX Team Offers To Send Your DNA To the Moon For a Price · · Score: 1

    Best to get started now, so it'll be there when Frank Poole and HALman need it in about nine hundred eighty-some odd years.

  25. Re:If I remember correctly... on Samsung Blames Galaxy SIII Burn On "External Energy Source" · · Score: 1

    You named your dog "Scrapy"? Did he like to play with sandpaper or something?
