  1. Re:ooh on ARM Attacks Intel's Netbook Stranglehold · · Score: 1

    Btw, where do all the Cambridge and Imperial engieering graduates end up?

  2. Re:But still... on Panasonic's New LED Bulbs Shine For 19 Years · · Score: 1

    Because it's "far from clear" that more energy generation causes more pollutant? Stop being a numpty.

  3. Re:What the Crap Oregon? on Professor Posts "Illegal Copy" of Guide To Oregon Public Record Laws · · Score: 1

    That's because they don't get enough rain.

  4. Re:ooh on ARM Attacks Intel's Netbook Stranglehold · · Score: 1

    It's a really odd feeling to loot for a British tech company. A British tech company. That's so... unnatural.

  5. Re:But still... on Panasonic's New LED Bulbs Shine For 19 Years · · Score: 1

    So you're an outlier where inefficiency doesn't cost you too much, but that doesn't subtract anything from the post you're replying to.

    Might as well bring in the car analogy. You want a car that burns half the fuel generating heat because you live in cold climate. That's your call, but plainly a stupid idea for the rest of us.

  6. Bird brain on Birdsong Studies Lead To a Revolution In Biology · · Score: 4, Funny

    The new brain cells are still bird brain cells.

  7. Re:OBD - On-Board Diagnostics on "Right To Repair" Bill Advances In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    "There already is a government mandated standard for getting access to engine information. It's called OBD and you read codes off with a $100 reader. Your local AutoZone, etc. will usually even let you borrow a reader if you need to. "

    AutoZone no longer lends out code reader, at least here in CA.

    Seems overreach to me. I sympathize with mechanics, but people still are buying German cars despite expensive/difficult maintenance.

  8. Just because on Heart Monitors In Middle School Gym Class? · · Score: 1

    you're paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to fsck you in the ass, as you have suspected.

    Our country has gone mad, I tell you.

    If the Lebowski has taught me anything, you do NOT, repeat, do NOT, fsck a stranger in the ass. Or your neighbor's Corvette gets it.

  9. Re:Science =! Public Policy on How To Make Science Popular Again? · · Score: 1

    "If science is unpopular today it is because of the arrogant, dogmatic and privileged folks who stand at its door. Add to that the people who embark on regular crusades, telling people they are stupid and ignorant for not listening to them, it's no wonder students shy away from science."

    You stupid ignint knucklehead, you wouldn't be posting this nonsense if you had listened to me. Numbchuck.

    Anyways, kids shy away from science because it's tough shit and the payoff sucks. If I had known better, I'd have gone off to be banker instead.

  10. Re:OpenOffice variant? on IBM Policy Switches From MS Office To OO.o · · Score: 1

    "Real hackers hack brains! Real tinkerers tune their body! Computers are for n00bs. ;)"

    Sounds like an image-obsessed marketing hack. The hot ones are worth the trouble, though, I guess.

  11. Re:Austrian Economics, anyone? on Incorporating Human Behavior Into Wall Street Mathematical Models · · Score: 1

    Point to "Austrians" for recognizing the social nature of economics, but their prescription thereafter is an ideology rather than science. As far as ideologies go, not the worst one I've came across, but an ideology nevertheless.

  12. Re:Please don't. on Incorporating Human Behavior Into Wall Street Mathematical Models · · Score: 1

    Can't you cut the Wall St. Assholes a break? You don't think they bleed black pus when cut like the rest of us?

  13. My apology on Alan Turing Gets an Apology From Prime Minister Brown · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you experienced the momentary outtage of slashdot - my bad. Big burrito lunch, you understand.

  14. Re:radioactive bacteria on Bacteria Used To Make Radioactive Metals Inert · · Score: 1

    That's where the gorilla comes. Well, eventually.

  15. Re:Chemically inert, they mean on Bacteria Used To Make Radioactive Metals Inert · · Score: 1

    That's nice and all, but being a research scientist means being a grant bitch and they probably want to make a living, too. Have a suggestion for that?

  16. Re:Fembot?!? on How Wired's Hiding Writer Was Found · · Score: 1

    Did you die?

  17. Hit them back! on Swine Flu Outbreak At PAX · · Score: 4, Funny

    Eat bacon, ham, and pork ribs. Show'em who's the boss.

  18. Re:Fembot?!? on How Wired's Hiding Writer Was Found · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a roundabout way to tell me "you're too old, shut up die."

  19. Re:How can you... on Future of NASA's Manned Spaceflight Looks Bleak · · Score: 1

    Damn. I'd go to Fiji then. Why the frogs have to screw up everything?

  20. Re:How can you... on Future of NASA's Manned Spaceflight Looks Bleak · · Score: 1

    Sucka. I would have gone to Tahiti.

  21. Yeah, sure on US Nuclear Power Industry Poised For a Comeback · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nukes are awesome. Let's put bunch of them OVER THERE. No, no, no, not over here, OVER THERE.

  22. Re:C64 BASIC too powerful to be safe on Apple Pulls C64 Emulator From the App Store · · Score: 1

    "In the past being a Windows dev was compared to serfdom. If that's true, then what's being an iPhone developer like?"

    Same thing. Well, maybe you need that "queer eye" things.

  23. Re:I am creating a site for this soft of thing on HR 3200 Considered As Software · · Score: 1

    And lobbyists. No, that's a bad idea. Ok, it'd be better as public service by the gov't.

    Patent that sucker and sell it to law firms. I think there is money there.
