  1. Re:Live a little on Dentist Wants To Clone John Lennon Using DNA Extracted From Lennon's Tooth · · Score: 1

    Worked with Kahless.

  2. Re:Ethics of cloning on Dentist Wants To Clone John Lennon Using DNA Extracted From Lennon's Tooth · · Score: 1

    Dolly must have caught that virus during the cloning procedure. There's just no other way she could have become infected.

  3. Re:Fantasists on Dentist Wants To Clone John Lennon Using DNA Extracted From Lennon's Tooth · · Score: 1

    What current biometric identification systems would fail with clones? Fingerprints are unique, irises are unique, speech traits are unique. We don't have door locks with DNA tests on them yet.

  4. Still can't handle proper units? on Magellan II's Adaptive Optics Top Hubble's Resolution · · Score: 2

    Right in the summary we have a comparison between the 6.5 m Magellan telescope and the 8 ft Hubble.

  5. Re:Oh look... another slashvertisement... on Internet Infrastructure for Everyone · · Score: 2

    If you're worried about getting old maybe you should look into the Cryonics Institute for a chance at immortality.

  6. It can do everything on Internet Infrastructure for Everyone · · Score: 0

    Where have I heard this line before? Oh yeah, from con artist salesmen.

  7. We all know about the trouble with triples

  8. Re:Pot, Kettle, Black. on Single Developer Responsible For Over 47k Apps In BlackBerry World · · Score: 1

    Go and add a million completely useless apps to the Google Play store and it would have no effect whatsoever. It's not like people actually go and install them. (those that do are the same ones who respond to Nigerian prince scams)

  9. Re:heh on Single Developer Responsible For Over 47k Apps In BlackBerry World · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Companies seem to stick around quite a while after they're dead. Kodak is still around for crying out loud. Doesn't make them any less dead.

  10. Re:This can't end well on New Drug Mimics the Beneficial Effects of Exercise · · Score: 4, Funny

    Screw the side effects. Add it to the water supply.

  11. Re:"the unexpected results" on Bradley Manning Sentenced To 35 Years · · Score: 1

    Are you perhaps confusing this case with that of Snowden?

  12. Re:For once Bill Gates is right on Internet.org: Altruistic, Or the Ultimate In Cynicism? · · Score: 0

    And we can tweet back pictures of food, cars, hot tubs, bars, our dogs eating steak, and funny pictures of morbidly obese people stuffing even more food into their pie-holes.

  13. Re:This isn't going to end well, you realize on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 2

    They're like those little rat sized dogs with big attitudes. It's all for show. If you stand up to a goose you'll win. If you run from them and let them peck at you then we get to laugh.

  14. Re:Stolen or copied on Urban Terror Code Stolen · · Score: 1

    Genius. Still holds his own with any modern comedian.

  15. Re:Original article worth a read on The Secret Effort To Clean Up a Former Soviet Nuclear Test Site · · Score: 2

    I read a book a while back called The Atomic Bazaar. Getting your hands on nuclear weapons materials isn't as difficult as it should be.

  16. Re:My take on Can There Be Open Source Music? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Before you nobody had ever thought to listen to music with the score in front of them. But you did it "on the internet". Bravo.

  17. Re:Lilypond on Can There Be Open Source Music? · · Score: 1

    Lilypond is useless for composing. Use anything but Lilypond while you compose. If you want top quality published music then it's by far the best choice out there.

  18. Yes, but on Can There Be Open Source Music? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You'll only hear the cool intro, without the bass line because that's still in development, and only the first two verses are written. There should be some updates by the end of the year but we're not promising anything. The drum track is done with crappy open-source drum software but we're totally gonna get someone to record it for real as soon as we scrape together $50 to pay a drooler, I mean drummer. If you complain about the missing parts you'll just get yelled at for not making it yourself by teaching yourself to play the guitar.

  19. Re:Suicide marker? on Predictors of Suicidal Behavior Found In Blood · · Score: 1

    The 80% success rate is because people these people are failures. They can't even kill themselves without screwing it up.

  20. How to get a blood sample on Predictors of Suicidal Behavior Found In Blood · · Score: 5, Funny

    We need a blood sample to test for suicidal tendencies. Could you make a small cut in your wrist please?

  21. Re:Stolen or copied on Urban Terror Code Stolen · · Score: 4, Funny

    Copyrightinfringement. There. No spaces, like German. Is that alright with you?

  22. Re: They didn't know he also... on Yahoo Deletes Journalist's Pre-Paid Legacy Site After Suicide · · Score: 1

    You'd be surprised how often that line actually works for them.

  23. Re:Perfectly valid on Studying the Slow Decay of a Laptop Battery For an Entire Year · · Score: 1

    Sort of like the saying: measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe.

  24. Re:Perfectly valid on Studying the Slow Decay of a Laptop Battery For an Entire Year · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But he published it, and then Slashdot picked it up, and people are actually interpreting the 'data' and making conclusions. This is how crap like thimerisol=autism gets out there.

  25. Re:And they call it on MS Researchers Develop Acoustic Data Transfer System For Phones · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's a keming problem.
