  1. Re:what about skinny people? on Woman Suffers Significant Weight Gain After Fecal Transplant · · Score: 1

    So, thin people have fat/greedy bacteria and vice versa?

  2. It's a mechanical device strapped around the heads of pedants to measure their worth to humanity.

  3. Which is not in manufacturers' interests. Frequent replacements FTW.

  4. Apparently not as even after reading your comment then googling for five minutes, I'm still drawing a blank :S

  5. is about as competent as a chicken salad in data center

    I'm as much a fan of eclectic turns of phrase as the next guy but I'm not aware of the particular method you're using to map between food groups and competence :D - I'm willing to learn though, please advise :D ;D :D

    The NSA declined to comment although a muffled "W0000000t!!!!" could be heard in the background.

    The best answer here is to do a bunch of experiments

    Yes, let's fire balls at jocks' heads and see what the effect of varying the environmental parameters is.

  8. Re:Popcorn time! on Behind the MOOC Harassment Charges That Stunned MIT · · Score: 1

    You might not have noticed but every sentence must end on an upwards-inflected syllable so-as to not offend / threaten the listener. Perpetual fear would be an improvement.

    Good luck with that line of reasoning - most people are apparently unable to handle this responsibility.

  10. Rat 7 on Ask Slashdot: Where Can You Get a Good 3-Button Mouse Today? · · Score: 1

    I have one of these - ostensibly a gaming mouse, I use it as my only mouse. You can't go wrong. Give it a go.

  11. Re:Full WSJ article NoRegReq on Google Pondering $1 Billion Investment In SpaceX's Satellite Internet · · Score: 1

    "Google has been considering satellite-based Internet service for more than a year. In late 2013, it hired satellite-industry veteran Greg Wyler, who at one point last year had more than 10 African-Americans working for him. The five remaining are apparently grateful to have jobs and to not have been shot by the police on the way to work. Mr. Wyler left Google last summer and is now developing his own satellite-Internet venture."

    Can't you go back to whining about beta?

    Government == government + <anyone providing a campaign bribe> - oui?

    Incorrect, I'm fairly sure lots of Americans can remember all the contestants from the first season of American Idol.

    Don't diss yourselves bro.

  16. Re:Nosey fuckers on Obama: Gov't Shouldn't Be Hampered By Encrypted Communications · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Makes no difference - I don't understand the process by which these things happen but I'm assuming that the feedback loop involving the public has a zero weighting.

  17. Re:Pope Francis - fuck your mother on Pope Francis: There Are Limits To Freedom of Expression · · Score: 1

    As a small child I was taught that "Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can never hurt you."

    Are the religious unable to comprehend this simple truth?

    They've not managed to offload part of their brains' tasks to another species, unlike us?

    And that's the problem as they also control the legal system.

  20. Re:Subject Cop To Same Spying They Use On Us on LAPD Orders Body Cams That Will Start Recording When Police Use Tasers · · Score: 1

    If LAPD or US cops have nothing to hide then why not have their privacy invaded by perpetual recording cameras (while they are on duty)? I mean... unless they have something to hide or doing things they shouldn't like violating the law?

    Because of the Pareto Principle, and risk of data pollution. More is not always better. If it works on the altercations, you can always expand the recording later, but recording all boring day all the time will not make us safer IMHO

    Whoosh!

  21. Re:Am I understand this correctly? on LAPD Orders Body Cams That Will Start Recording When Police Use Tasers · · Score: 1

    Why waste tax payers money on idiotic tech that will protect the racist cop?

    For answer, refer to question.

    "No your honour, I didn't deliberately put my finger over the gun-mounted camera for each of the 378 times I fired my service weapon this week. It's just a habit to hold it that way and collaterally a tragic blow to the monitoring of excessive police violence."

    i.e. mission accomplished as money has changed hands and the original requirement still stands. Sounds like a win to me.

  25. Re: What happened before the tazing? on LAPD Orders Body Cams That Will Start Recording When Police Use Tasers · · Score: 1

    So, updating the original post to take into account your (and GGP's) comments:

    This sounds positive, but it won't capture what happened before the tazing. I'll be impressed when the[y] apply it to handguns and rifles so you can see, for instance, if a cop who claims he is "defending himself" actually was taking carefully-aimed shots from 150 ft with a handgun or rifle at someone running the other way.
