Gary Johnson

On: Democrats Crowdsourcing To Vote Palin In Primaries

This may prevent a more deserving republican candidate, like Gary Johnson, from getting on the ballot.

edit: searched 'Gary Johnson' on slashdot and found nothing. Disappointed.

The stupid, it burns.

HFCS is very different than cane sugar

On: High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover

The difference is, with HFCS the fructose molecules in the sweetener are free and unbound.

On: Appropriate Interviewing For a Worldwide Search?

If you don't know the reference person, verify that person by calling HR. My former business partner had his friend pose as an executive at my company. Goes to show how low people can stoop down to.

A communications disruption could mean only one thing: invasion.

Purely anecdotal

On: Want to Eat Chocolate Every Day For a Year?

Jeanne Calment, the oldest person who had ever lived, ate a kilo of chocolate every week.

More interesting is that she smoked until the age of 117. As with Henry Allingham, who credited cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women - and a good sense of humour for his longevity.

I'll be picking up some Lucky Strike and prostitute this evening and do my own study.

fake attendance

On: University Gives Away iPhones To Curb Truancy

'students currently fake attendance by having other students answer for them during rollcall' ...this is easily done because we Asians all look alike.

Re:Not sure I believe this

On: Do We Need Running Shoes To Run?

The photo of the Tarahumara runner (wearing what appears to be scandals) looks as if he's running on the ball of his feet whereas the ultra-runner (wearing running shoes) is striking with his heel. At least this seems to be consistent with the article.

Wouldn't the chloroform put the women to sleep as well?

Re:It already succeeded

On: Seinfeld-Windows TV Ad Anything But 'Delicious'

Can you believe that, after reading about it on Google News, I actually sought out and watched the commercial?

Because you're a fucking nerd. Just like everyone else here. Do you really think the common person (i.e. non-nerds) would seek out the ad if they happened to hear/read about it?

Re:Environmental Wackos

On: China Races To Clean Up Olympic Air

But it doesn't reflect well on Americans (or other Westerners) to chastise China while ignoring our own sordid past.

Nicely put. Is there anyone old enough on Slashdot who remembers the Cuyahoga River Fire?
