  1. Better long-term strategy on IT's Last Hope — a Job In the Boonies? · · Score: 1

    Learn a foreign language and migrate.

  2. Scraping the bottom here on US Reigns As Most Bot-Infected Country · · Score: 1

    At least throw in some off-the-wall super-twisted headline. How's a post like this supposed to generate views and comments other than tired old rants like this?

  3. Re:Confused? on Drools JBoss Rules 5.0 · · Score: 1

    A food grinder is quite powerful, too, when used right.

  4. Re:The Wheel on Indian Military Organization To Develop Its Own OS · · Score: 1

    It's necessary in this wheel-within-wheel universe.

    Do not despair. Kali Yuga, too, will come to pass. Init command is forthcoming.

  5. I say this extremely rarely for slashdot on 10/10/10 — a Nice Day To Celebrate the Meaning of Life · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But nicely done, Tim.

  6. Re:Another Nobel Peace Prize dud on China Blanks Nobel Peace Prize Searches · · Score: 1

    You are right about N. Korea.

    Taiwan is a bit more nuanced case. Apparently, those that came with Chiang's Nationalists see things bit different than those who were there before.

    Tibet, that's no more "world problem" than any other ethnic group without a country of their own, the Kurds, Chechens, various American natives, you name it. Don't be a lama licker.

  7. Re:Another Nobel Peace Prize dud on China Blanks Nobel Peace Prize Searches · · Score: 1

    Because N Korea has their artillery pointed at S Korea's capital.

    Freeing Tibet is not our problem, and on the whole, that's a good thing, even if you want to kick some commie Chinese butts.

    Taiwan, you know, still exists.

  8. Re:Another Nobel Peace Prize dud on China Blanks Nobel Peace Prize Searches · · Score: 1

    We don't have "Cold War" with China.

  9. Re:Nice study, now what? on Mystery of the Dying Bees Solved · · Score: 1

    I wonder if there is a way to make lemonade out of this lemon.

    Can we use the disease to push back the onslaught of the killer bees invading up north?

  10. Geim is one froody cat on Why Geim Never Patented Graphene · · Score: 2, Informative

    Finally, are you one of those Nobel prizewinners who is going to go crazy now that you've won?

    ...I'll try to keep my sanity as long as possible.

    The dude seems to know where his towel is.

  11. Re:Uuhhh... clumsy PR? on Mission Complete! WMAP In 'Graveyard Orbit' · · Score: 1

    My bad. I was thinking of WISE project.

  12. Uuhhh... clumsy PR? on Mission Complete! WMAP In 'Graveyard Orbit' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That project was supposed to go on for a few more months I thought... The cooling system exhausted prematurely, didn't it?

  13. A better mission on NASA Plans Mission To Study Martian Atmosphere · · Score: 2, Funny

    We need to rescue Spirit and Opportunity. Loyalty should count for something.

  14. Re:IP economy vs. Freedom on Mexican Senate Votes To Drop Out of ACTA · · Score: 1

    All those things are sorted by giving simple brand name protection, as has been done for centuries.

  15. IP economy vs. Freedom on Mexican Senate Votes To Drop Out of ACTA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I just think IP economy is incompatible with freedom in general. I know you guys can follow thru.

  16. Rotate on Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Rotate 90 degrees.

    What's happening to this website?!

  20. Re:Dear Richard, on Free Software Foundation Turns 25 · · Score: 1

    And take a bath. 25 years is a long time to go without.

  21. OMG! on EVs In the Spotlight At West Coast Green Conference · · Score: 0, Troll

    I hate SF loons. And I am a lefty science geek that lived there for ten years.

    This is the town that supports the Whole Foods/Andranico idiocy.

    I can put up with Berzekly, but SF...

    Nuke it from the orbit. We will make a fresh start.

  22. Re:DiNiro said it best in Ronin on Minnesota Moving To Microsoft's Cloud · · Score: 1

    Let's not split hairs here. I hate the fucking Eagles, man.

    Some like that.
