  1. Re:Stop the madness on EPA Proposes Grading System For Car Fuel Economy · · Score: 1

    My bad, I should have thought of the 2nd grade drop-outs who can't manage rudimentary arithmatics. Sorry, dude.

  2. Re:Stop the madness on EPA Proposes Grading System For Car Fuel Economy · · Score: 1

    And you're NOT helping.

  3. Stop the madness on EPA Proposes Grading System For Car Fuel Economy · · Score: 1

    Stop with the dumbing-down idiocy. Give the people some god damn credit. If I give a rat's ass about fuel efficiency, I can do the basic, I mean BASIC, algebra.

    Give us a reasonable set of numbers. This A-D is a bullshit, a marketers' dream, but it's a pure, unadulterated insult to the people of the US.

    Keep this up, it won't be long before our children start migrating to Asia and Europe for better life.

  4. Re:Also on Sorting Algorithm Breaks Giga-Sort Barrier, With GPUs · · Score: 1

    That's why EEs make the best software engineers. We also jeer at CS lackeys who dropped out of EE into CS. It was either that or accounting for these guys.

    That's right, you heard me, weenies.

  5. Re:Politics And Science Don't Mix on Judge Quashes Subpoena of UVA Research Records · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'm weary of AGW paranoia, but Cuccinelli is a clown.

    It's odd that Mann shifted from one coal state to another. The fool.

  6. Re:If we were in any other field... on Tech's Dark Secret, It's All About Age · · Score: 1

    I suspect it's not that different with medicine, engineering, and other progressing fields, other than that those others are more regulated/licensed.

  7. Re:Older than the dinosaurs on Tech's Dark Secret, It's All About Age · · Score: 1

    ... I grew up with the 16 color Commodore 64 ...

    And WE LIKED IT!

    Right? I can't remember things these days...

  8. Re:OK, so it sops up some oil. Then what? on MIT Unveils Oil-Skimming Robot Swarm Prototype · · Score: 1

    You stick around slashdot, you'd think MIT is this giantic grant-sucking corporation.

  9. Re:Freedom on Can an Open Source Map Project Make Money? · · Score: 0

    Whine, whine, whine.

  10. Re:Freedom on Can an Open Source Map Project Make Money? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hate tipping, and I hate this bogus whining. Change the license or shut up.

  11. Re:TFA Omits a Second Study on Scientists Unveil Structure of Adenovirus · · Score: 1

    Poking around Medical Daily, it seems to be a straight-up PR operation. It's been spamming slashdot with some frequency.

  12. Re:ZFS recap on Native ZFS Is Coming To Linux Next Month · · Score: 1

    Dang, this explains a lot of what's going on around here.

  13. ZFS recap on Native ZFS Is Coming To Linux Next Month · · Score: 2, Funny

    We've heard much about ZFS, but being a slashdotter, I can't recklessly go on and RTFA. So, maybe someone here can recap its main benefits. Maybe a power point slide?

  14. Re:Go on, rub it in why don't you? on Kepler Spacecraft Finds System With Multiple Planets Transiting the Star · · Score: 1

    Pluto's no planet.

    Did it sting?

  15. FREE!!! on Glibc Is Finally Free Software · · Score: 1

    Free at last, free at last, thank... eh fuck it.

  16. Paging lawyers on MPEG LA Announces Permanent Royalty Moratorium For H264 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is this one of those soft "pledges" that's not worth the paper it's written on, or is this something legally binding?

  17. Re:2004? No statute of limitations in the UK? on Legal Threat Demands Techdirt Shut Down · · Score: 1

    I'm told that "if it's true, it's not a libel" does not apply to UK libel law, rendering libel defense rather onerous.

    Wait, let me cover my ass anyways: I could be wrong, though. :-)

  18. Phooey! on Digg In the Future · · Score: 1

    I don't need no stinking algorithm to tell me that 95.1189% of "stories" posted on slashdot are crock of shit.

  19. It was a TRAP!! on Teacher Asks Students To Plan a Terrorist Attack · · Score: 4, Funny

    You stupid tiny anklebiters!

    Ship the little shits over to GitMo.

  20. Re:News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters. on Los Angeles Unveils $578 Million Public School · · Score: 1

    Silence. You know not of which you speak.

  21. Extortion! on Google Starts Charging a Signup Fee For Chrome Extension Developers · · Score: 5, Funny

    I won't budge until they drop the fee to 4.99.

  22. Re:Fire Hazard on Canon Abandons SED TV Hopes · · Score: 1

    I converted many a diodes into this SED. The lab was just about to ban me.

  23. 3G/4G on The Many Faces of 3G · · Score: 1

    Somebody drop some straight science on this geezer. Y'all yak "3G" like y'all know what it means. What the heck does it mean? I only vaguely get that it's provides bit faster data service. Rummaging through Wikipedia only muddle things up further by delving into various optional protocols.

  24. Re:"Wahh, I'm a victim! Waahhh!" on NCsoft Sued For Making Lineage II 'Too Addictive' · · Score: 1

    Have some sympathy. The guy's name is "Smallwood" for god sake.

  25. Re:So tired on 7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail · · Score: 1

    Yep, that's the problem with zombies. You keep killing them, they keep coming back. Whachagonnado, eh.
