  1. ESPN helped on Calif. Man Arrested For ESPN Post On Killing Kids · · Score: 2

    ...the 1 million dollar bail is higher than a normal murder charge bail. While making comments like this might be illegal, or in poor taste, the response seems a bit over the top.

    Doubtless ESPN advocated for such a large amount so after saying the number, Stewart Scott can add: "Boo-Yah!!"

  2. Just like George Bush said on Ultra-Powerful Laser To Be Built In Romania · · Score: 0

    "When in Rome, do as the Romanians do."

  3. America's Lament on Material Breaks Record For Turning Heat Into Electricity · · Score: 1

    They had this in the McDLT*, and they threw it away! The fools!

    * - "It keeps the hot side hot and the cold side cold!"

  4. Tarantino on Is the Can Worse Than the Soda? · · Score: 1

    Would be interesting if the link between obesity and eating fast food was only partly due to the food itself and partly due to handling the receipts.

    "Would you like your receipt?" [clack-clack] "DROP IT, OR I'LL DROP YOU!"

  5. Recycling on Is the Can Worse Than the Soda? · · Score: 2

    We have a recycling center in my tiny burg now. They only accept glass inside (when they're open) as people refused to 'place' glass bottles and jars in the bin, but dropped them in (mainly for the thrill of the shattering sound I bet), causing danger for the workers and even themselves. Now I find myself far more hesitant to buy something in glass as I now have to hang on to them for weeks before having time to take them in. Yes, yes; first world problems... still a real issue.

  6. Re:We can optimize for efficiency in the next spri on DARPA Unveils System Using Human Brains For Computer Vision · · Score: 1

    What's the next step? Jars. Lots and lots of jars.

    Ron Popiel approves.

  7. Skeptical Experts on Roundup Tolerant GM Maize Linked To Tumor Development · · Score: 2

    I bet they are, given their field (heh). Criticizing Monsanto would be just as deadly career-wise as opening a titty bar in Mecca would be in real life.

  8. So? on Roundup Tolerant GM Maize Linked To Tumor Development · · Score: 1

    It's long overdue to admit that, just like Republicans can blatantly lie without any lasting effects, corporations are free to kill without any real recognition nor punishment, other than affordable costs of doing business.

    From the Middle East, to West Virginia coal mines, to the Gulf of Mexico...such is the way of the real world, and thus ends the lesson.

  9. Womens Shows on Seaweed is Good for You and Can Be Tasty, Too (Video) · · Score: 2

    This reminds me of Oprah and her ilk with the near-weekly bits about how to eat healthy with organics, garden-fresh veggies, and exotic whatevers over nasty and dangerous store-bought, processed or fast foods.

    Somehow, they always gloss over the part that it only works if you're indpendently wealthy and can easily afford both the time and monetary expenditures required. Hell, they can't even do it themselves, but have to rely on a guest with multiple assistants and a Deus Ex Machina uber kitchen that would cost more than an average US home.

    For a male context, just think of Norm on New Yankee Workshop in his six-figure setup saying: "All you need is..."

  10. Re:Stereotypical Garnishes on Seaweed is Good for You and Can Be Tasty, Too (Video) · · Score: 1

    - Americans (and Scots) think everything tastes better deep-fried into submission.

  11. Re:Abbreviation time! on TSA Spending $245 Million On "Second Generation" Body Scanners · · Score: 1

  14. Re:Living in the middle of Illinois... on How Sensors and Software Turn Farms Into Data Mines · · Score: 1

    Everything's high-tech except the 50-year old grain trucks that now sport Antique tags, driven mostly by their own teenagers or someone else's hired for the summer.

  15. CJD flag = yes on How Sensors and Software Turn Farms Into Data Mines · · Score: 1

    Sell Bossie to McDonalds ASAP.

  16. Dice is the nickname on Dice Buys Geeknet's Media Business, Including Slashdot, In $20M Deal · · Score: 1

    of the new boss. His first name is Andrew. Be afraid; be very, very afraid.

  17. Intel on Motorola's First Intel-Based Handset Launches In UK · · Score: 1

    The same company that now touts an 'Un-Linuxable' chip family? Don't trust them, Google.

  18. Simple on Meet iRobot Founder Rodney Brooks's New Industrial Bot, Baxter · · Score: 1

    But I do like the "move the arms" training method. I'd put a little time into pondering how to train manufacturing robots in the past, and I was always wondering why they didn't use that approach, at least to rough out the behavior, and use an interface to tweak the positioning and timing etc. But afaik all the programming on other industrial robots to date has been purely through the console.

    Because they *have* perfected LawyerBots. The first time someone gets converted into a human sandwich spread while 'moving the arms' will be the last of that 'bot company.

  19. Kids in the Hall on Warp Drive Might Be Less Impossible Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    'I'm sorry I broke your hip, Mrs. Henderson.'

  20. HAH on UK Government Owns 16.9 Million Unused IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    Why not just ask them to do the right thing and give them back to RIPE?

    David Cameron does not know the word give. Buy and sell, yes; give, no.

  23. Never understood on Google Blocks 'Innocence of Muslim' Video In Indonesia and India · · Score: 1, Insightful

    On one hand, believing God X is the one and true; the controller of all; omnipotent in every way, and on the other hand, killing people over the lamest and poorly done parodies to defend God X almighty? Make up your mind: is God X an unassailable, infallible supreme being, or a 98-pound weakling that must be defended from bullies kicking sand in his face?

  24. Spinal Tap on RIPE Region Runs Out of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    "This IP goes to 11 - you know - when you just need those few extra bits." -- Nigel Tufnel

  25. Re:Really, Linux won't (currently) support CT on Intel Says Clover Trail Atom CPU Won't Work With Linux · · Score: 1

    Maybe. But if the continuing Linux laptop hibernation / resuscitation issues are any judge, there will be a handful of closely guarded Microsoft-only instructions w.r.t power consumption that will make IE6 'quirks' look like childs' play.
