  1. Dissapointed on Toyota Describes Combustion Engine That Generates Electricity Directly · · Score: 1

    Nobody cracks the obvious joke? Slashdot really is dead.

  2. Transduction mechanism? on Toyota Describes Combustion Engine That Generates Electricity Directly · · Score: 1

    How's the back-and-forth motion converted to electric power?

  3. smallprint on Astronomers Determine the Length of Day of an Exoplanet · · Score: 1

    7 hours in the mountain and central tz.

  4. Dumbass Collective on Anonymous's Latest Target: Boston Children's Hospital · · Score: 1

    aka Fucktard Mob, just one symptom of a fucktard country.

  5. Wrong Problem on Ask Slashdot: Hungry Students, How Common? · · Score: 1

    Gas vs. food? You have a car?

    Your real problem is the prospect once you get your (graduate/doctoral) degrees. There are too many of yous, not enough posts to absorb you, even for you in STEM fields, never mind humanities.

  6. Re:Subtle attack against C/C++ on The Security of Popular Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    Hey, enough jokes from you today. You're way over the quota. What, are you getting a big fat refund?

  7. Another thing on U.S. Biomedical Research 'Unsustainable' Prominent Researchers Warn · · Score: 1

    Some may think we are spending gobloads of money on some "Big" physics with those gigantic particle smashers, but all of that pales in comparison to the amount of public money we throw at medical research.

    Damn straight it ain't "sustainable".

  8. Empty summary on U.S. Biomedical Research 'Unsustainable' Prominent Researchers Warn · · Score: 1

    The only issue noted was too many researchers. Well, that's a self-correcting problem, isn't it.

  9. Among other things on The GNOME Foundation Is Running Out of Money · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Unlink yourself from systemd.

  10. Re:It's time we own up to this one on NSA Allegedly Exploited Heartbleed · · Score: 1

    Bugs happen. We should assume there are more bugs of similar nature and have a plan on how to proceed when the next one is discovered. It's particularly important for OpenSSL as it may affect not only SSL encryption keys but whole chains of SSL certs.

  11. Editor's "editing" on Not Just Apple: GnuTLS Bug Means Security Flaw For Major Linux Distros · · Score: 1

    And while Apple can readily fix a bug in its own software, at least for users who keep up on patches, "Linux" refers to a broad range of systems and vendors, rather than a single company, and the affected systems include some of the biggest names in the Linux world, like Red Hat, Debian, and Ubuntu.

    Now, who was this comment for? Half the stories generate complaints about obcure acronyms and lack of context in the summary, but you manage to throw that in?

  12. Gossip girls on Was Eich a Threat To Mozilla's $1B Google "Trust Fund"? · · Score: 1

    I hate social bullshit, buckets of unsubstantiated rumors, speculation, and accusation. Timothy's specialty, I guess.

    Sad thing, though, is that at least half the "stories" here are posted just to elicit whining comments like this one - a click is a click, eh.

  13. Throw in other high-faluting BS on It's Time To Bring Pseudoscience Into the Science Classroom · · Score: 1

    Like "the universe is a simulation", multi-verse, anthropic principle.

  14. Re:AGW Jihadists are the culprit on The Problem With Congress's Scientific Illiterates · · Score: 0

    Wrong. Evolution describes the process, but does not make prediction, and the process has been observed repeatedly.

    AGW tries to both describe and predict, but is too primitive to even verify given the precision and time interval required.

  15. Re:AGW Jihadists are the culprit on The Problem With Congress's Scientific Illiterates · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You crazies not only messed up climate research, you fucked up the public image of science/scientists in general.

    Fuckers.

  16. AGW Jihadists are the culprit on The Problem With Congress's Scientific Illiterates · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Instead of being conservative and creditable, as scientists typically are, and argue for more funding due to the gravity of possible consequences, you crazies went off "we all gonna die!!!!!".

    Fuckers.

  17. Re:And so this is Costco's fault? on Million Jars of Peanut Butter Dumped In New Mexico Landfill · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Alright. That whole shit don't make no sense - shit at the front don't mash with that shit at the back.

    Fuck that shit.

  18. Re:And so this is Costco's fault? on Million Jars of Peanut Butter Dumped In New Mexico Landfill · · Score: 1
    I'll go slowly. I'll quote the sentence in question:

    Never mind most of the people getting it free would not be able to buy it anyway.

    The batch of PB given away/thrown away won't affect those who shop at CostCo, so what exactly does the sentence above add, except to negate the preceding ones?

    Kids with twitter these days...

  19. God damn it on Million Jars of Peanut Butter Dumped In New Mexico Landfill · · Score: 1

    A little salmonella never killed nobody.

  20. Re:And so this is Costco's fault? on Million Jars of Peanut Butter Dumped In New Mexico Landfill · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And you have a reading comprehension problem. That third sentence is irrelevant.

  21. Knew it on West Nile Virus May Have Met Its Match: Tobacco · · Score: 0

    Obamacare needs to cover cigarette.

  22. Re:actually, it was the fleas. on Researchers: Rats Didn't Spread Black Death, Humans Did · · Score: 1

    You know, I clicked on the story, saw that the link is from "ibtimes", and then your comment. Led me to guess it must be samzenpus.

    I suppose consistency is a virtue of a sort.

  23. An option? on WSJ: Prepare To Hang Up the Phone — Forever · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Municipality should simply take over the existing land line infrastructure.

  24. Re:Can I vote for.. on Why Darmok Is a Good Star Trek: TNG Episode · · Score: 2

    A snooty nerd, as if you don't get beat up enough already.

  25. Re:Options on Ask Slashdot: How To Handle Unfixed Linux Accessibility Bugs? · · Score: 1

    Crappy software is crappy, "Open Source" or otherwise.
