  1. Troll Cloud over Samzenpus on The Ethics Cloud Over Ballmer's $2 Billion B-Ball Buy · · Score: 1

    nt.

  2. AT&T on AT&T Charges $750 For One Minute of International Data Roaming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You learned not to touch hot things when you were a toddler. AT&T is one of those things that burn you. Pathetic you learned this now - I blame your parents.

  3. Yeah, I thought maybe they were considering nuking them astronauts from Earth to Mars. You know, just to be sure.

  4. Well... on NRC Human Spaceflight Report Says NASA Strategy Can't Get Humans To Mars · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think it's most people's impression that NASA is just going through the motion, making empty noises wrt Mars human exploration. There simply is no viable plan nor adequate budget to come up with a viable plan.

  5. And? on The Disappearing Universe · · Score: 0, Troll

    Which part of the summary is "news"?

  6. Obama, Kerry, et al. on Daniel Ellsberg: Snowden Would Not Get a Fair Trial – and Kerry Is Wrong · · Score: 1, Insightful

    All traitors.

  7. "brain scientist" on Study Finds Porn Exposure Associated With Smaller Brain Region · · Score: 1

    Well, at least "foot scientists" know some bits about how feet work, unlike "brain scientists" who know about jack squat how brains work.

  8. Re:Fire Timothy on After the Sun (Microsystems) Sets, the Real Stories Come Out · · Score: 1

    My bad - I shouldn't urge to cut off one's livelihood (although slashdot "editorship" can't be a day job, can't it?).

  9. Fire Timothy on After the Sun (Microsystems) Sets, the Real Stories Come Out · · Score: 0

    See subject.

  10. Oh No! on Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Buys the LA Clippers For $2 Billion · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ballmer will be throwing chairs from the courtside now.

  11. Re:Would cause major debugging headaches on Imparting Malware Resistance With a Randomizing Compiler · · Score: 2

    Ah, the perceptive reader notes that two can play this game. :)

  12. Re:Cute but dumb on Imparting Malware Resistance With a Randomizing Compiler · · Score: 3, Informative

    And broken clocks tells the right time twice a day. How often do you expect the randomization could/would help rather than hinder bug zapping?

    Bug reporting itself would become a much bigger problem due to the greater difficulty in reproducing them.

  13. Cute but dumb on Imparting Malware Resistance With a Randomizing Compiler · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You think you have buggy software now, this idea will multiply a single bug into a dozen.

  14. Re:You don't have Cox, do you? on Cox Promises National Gigabit Rollout; Starting With Phoenix, Las Vegas, Omaha · · Score: 1

    Same experience for me. They are expensive, but they deliver what they promise.

  15. Another idiotic asinine summary on New Semiconductor Could Improve Vehicle Fuel Economy By 10 Percent · · Score: 1

    All that verbiage to say nothing except "Toyota" and SiC.

  16. Dumb TFS Verbiage on Even In the Wild Mice Run In Wheels · · Score: 2

    The story itself is interesting enough, opening it up to all kinds of hypothesis. Don't ruin it by adding the typically inane verbiage:

    "Figuring out why certain strains of mice are more sedentary than others could help shed light on genetic differences between more active and sedentary people."

  17. Paging Oslo on Why Lavabit Shut Down · · Score: 3, Funny

    Give Obama another nobel.

  18. Re:The Science is settled! on Climate Journal Publishes Referees' Report In Response To "Witch-Hunt" Claims · · Score: -1, Troll

    Basically, pointing out errors is not enough - it only makes us look bad.

    Some science.

  19. Revolution! on IBM Discovers New Class of Polymers · · Score: 1

    Revolutionary nail polish will revolutionize whole lotta other stuff in a wholy new and exciting way.

  20. Slashdot 101 on Cellular Compound May Increase Lifespan Without the Need For Strict Dieting · · Score: 1

    Science breakthrough, posted by samzenpus == LIE

  21. Nobama on Al Franken Says FCC Proposed Rules Are "The Opposite of Net Neutrality" · · Score: -1, Troll

    How do you love your nobama now?

  22. Nobama on Silicon Valley's Love-Hate Relationship With President Obama · · Score: 0

    There is no fight he won't backtrack on.

  23. Re:OS on a stick is not novel on $7 USB Stick Aims To Bring Thousands of Poor People Online · · Score: 1

    Yeah, with somebody else' 40k.

  24. If on Ask Slashdot: Does Your Job Need To Exist? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If my aunt had balls, he'd be my uncle.

  25. "Synergy" on Sony Warns Demand For Blu-Ray Diminishing Faster Than Expected · · Score: 1

    Sony, a company with two divisions that want to choke each other.
