  1. "We"? on Stanford Robot Car Capable of Slide Parking · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "We won't be handing the keys over to robot cars anytime soon..."

    The Taco Bell University is still not good enough to lick the dirt off the dirty hippie Berkeley boots.

  2. The fat ass on Supermassive Black Hole Is Thrown Out of Galaxy · · Score: 2, Funny

    had it coming.

  3. All the buzzword on Possible Breakthrough In Hydrogen Energy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    MIT, hydrogen, green, McArthur grant winner, genetic engineering, nano something or other, all these buzz bullshit in the short summary paragraph.

    Stinks of bullshit to the high heaven.

  4. Re:Burying the lede on New Metamaterial Means More Efficient Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    I used to feel somewhat guilty that I'm blocking all ads here while posting whole lotta nonsense. But it turns out, it's a fair deal - I'm getting pretty much what I am paying for.

  5. Re:WebOS? Intermeresting... on HP's Slate To Be Replaced By WebOS Tablet? · · Score: 1

    "[8088] had a better ISA than the 6800 series CPUs ... [IBM] caught on because they were more powerful and reasonably priced..."

    No-ish, and definitely No.

  6. Re:Clusters? on Record-Breaking Galaxy Cluster Found · · Score: 1

    Galaxy Bang! Ooooh, so messy.

  7. Re:!newsfornerds on Obama Will Nominate Elena Kagan To the Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    Kah, there goes my breakfast.

  8. Bastard on Geostationary GPS Satellite Galaxy 15 Out of Control · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nuke the rogue satellite in the orbit.

  9. Probably redundant on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    But anyways:
    - Try to keep your trap shut and listen instead
    - Volunteer for shits people don't wanna do
    - Put some extra hours, but just a little so that it won't piss off others
    - Try to be dependable, rather than brilliant
    - Don't even think about the hotties at the marketing

  10. Cheating molecule on 1 Molecule Computes Thousands of Times Faster Than a PC · · Score: 1

    They dope it with steroid and massive amount of MSG.

  11. Re:Don't call it a comeback... on Will Game Cartridges Make a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    But what yo mama say?

  12. Re:Perl most secure on Choice of Programming Language Doesn't Matter For Security · · Score: 1

    You under-mis-estimate Perl.

    There once was a theory that undecidable problems are, well, undecidable and assumed to be unsolvable.

    With the advent of Perl, not so. Undecidable, decidable, it's all just meaningless semantic bullshit before the mighty Perl interpreter - it is whatever she decides it to be, and she makes it so.

  13. Re:Gee, didn't someone get lynched for saying that on Wii 2 Delay Is Hurting Nintendo · · Score: 1

    The third option, bit of a long-term gig, would be to invest in space travel.

  14. Fuck everything on AMD Undercuts Intel With Six-Core Phenom IIs · · Score: 0

    Fuck everything. We are going to five cores.

  15. Press Release on IBM Opens New Cloud Computing Laboratory · · Score: 1

    This is about as blatant as it gets here.

    Don't disappoint me, slashdot - tell you you've got sumth-sumth for this post.

  16. Re:850 meters? One word for you.... on Beaver Dam Visible From Space · · Score: 3, Funny

    "rule number 1 of slashdot: ANY thread can be twisted into a bash of microsoft. no exceptions."

    Well, if you insist.

    This is another case of egregious anti-competitive collusion - the furry animal (but not quite sweaty) version of Microsoft. Nuke'em from the orbit.

  17. Re:Egyptian Influence? on Mayan Plumbing Found In Ancient City · · Score: 1

    That's right. Japanese invented time travel, and introduced Super Mario Brothers to the ancient Egyptians, and the rest is history.

  18. Re:Pretty Neat on Mayan Plumbing Found In Ancient City · · Score: 1

    When the Roman legions stopped being a net gain, through plunder and Romanization, and started to become a liability(since they couldn't expand the borders any further, and spent most of their time fighting civil wars to install one emperor after another), Roman civilization as a whole never really came up with an alternative...

    And the history repeats, but with small alteration. That sounds exactly like how they describe Ottoman janissaries.

  19. Re:"Apparent performance" on Intel Turbo Boost vs. AMD Turbo Core Explained · · Score: 1

    Ah! The infamous progress bar.

  20. Re:Huh? on Intel Turbo Boost vs. AMD Turbo Core Explained · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The damn thing could (and should) have been two-paragraph memo - reads like it's written by a high school kid trying to fill up page quota. Oh well - the info, as shallow as it is, still is something I didn't know before.

  21. Re:knighthood my ass on Open Source Developer Knighted · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I CANNOT believe all you motherfuckers with mod points let my post simmer with -1 "troll".

    Does being an American mean anything to you?! I wasn't even trying to piss on other nationalities here. I wasn't pissing on the Brits, I was pissing on some douchebags IN AMERICA with British PRETENSIONS!!!

  22. Re:knighthood my ass on Open Source Developer Knighted · · Score: -1, Troll

    Like I said: CUNT SUCKER

  23. knighthood my ass on Open Source Developer Knighted · · Score: -1, Troll

    First, congratulation.

    Second, knighthood my ass. "Honor" does fine, unless you're Brit cunt sucker. No offense to Brits, it's just that we've got a lot of Brit dick suckers out this way.

  24. Re:Statistically significant? on FDA Approves Vaccine For Prostate Cancer · · Score: 1

    Isn't that like saying we will conquer cancer once we defeat autoimmune diseases?

  25. Re:Tablets are dead on Microsoft's Touted iPad Rival Courier Becomes Less Than Vapor · · Score: 1

    "The advantage they offer over laptops and netbooks is a tactile natural way to consume media at your leisure i.e. while you're on the sofa."

    Funny, I didn't know I can throw up on empty stomach.
