  1. Perfectly valid on Studying the Slow Decay of a Laptop Battery For an Entire Year · · Score: 4, Informative

    I love studies with a sample size of one. No statistics, no variability. Definitive.

  2. Re:I'm Having Trouble with the Radar Sir on Next Up: the Jamming Wars · · Score: 1

    I knew it. I'm surrounded by assholes.

  3. Re:Well, it's a nice thought on Four Month Mars Food Study Wraps Up · · Score: 1

    Let's face it. If you send people to Mars and their equipment breaks, they die. Send along a pack of cyanide pills so they don't have to starve to death or die of dehydration.

  4. Re:Onward to ruining other stuff on Easily-Captured Asteroids Identified · · Score: 1

    That is a false belief as there can be only one four day time cube.

  5. Re:Looks like it's time on Easily-Captured Asteroids Identified · · Score: 1

    Or you could simply dig a hole in it, pressurize it, and voila. There's your spaceship. Attach boosters and you're set.

  6. Re:Great! on Easily-Captured Asteroids Identified · · Score: 1

    I never thought of that. Better add a life raft to my bug out kit.

  7. Re:Bear Grylls on Four Month Mars Food Study Wraps Up · · Score: 2

    There aren't any hotels on Mars.

  8. Take me on Four Month Mars Food Study Wraps Up · · Score: 1

    I have no problem eating the same thing for every meal. Just get me a three year supply of Mountain House freeze dried Pasta Primavera and I'd be set.

  9. Re:Get a purse on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Device Holster? · · Score: 1

    Anyone with a fanny pack is either a tourist or a bum.

  10. Re:Aperture Science Was Real on Cold War Plan Tried To Put a Copper Ring Around the Earth · · Score: 3, Funny

    Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of copper poisoning show a median latency of forty-four point six years, so if you're thirty or older, you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator and it makes a happy face.

  11. Aperture Science Was Real on Cold War Plan Tried To Put a Copper Ring Around the Earth · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is Cave Johnson stuff. If we want to launch billions of copper needles into space to show those commies who they're up against then we'll do whatever it takes.

  12. Re:Microsoft... on Microsoft: Xbox One Won't Require Kinect To Function · · Score: 1

    They don't want to use 720 because people think it's a worse number than 1080. I am serious. They look at all the connotations of a number and the number 720, especially when it comes to games, is not good.

  13. Re:Rock and a hard place on Microsoft: Xbox One Won't Require Kinect To Function · · Score: 1

    There were rumours that MS won a secret NSA contract a couple years ago... hey wait just a minute!

  14. Re:Simple and zero energy cost on Illuminating Window-Less Houses With a Plastic Bottle · · Score: 1

    My best guess is that the freezing stretches the plastic a bit, especially the parts designed for structure such as the creases. Now the bottle has a higher volume and when the ice melts the plastic doesn't go back to its original shape but rather simply collapses.

  15. Re:Pen and Paper + Document Management on Ask Slashdot: Best Software For Med-School Note-Taking? · · Score: 1

    I think you're missing a zero. There's no good fountain pen to be had for $30.

  16. Re:Um...as a patient, I'm hoping you MEMORIZE it on Ask Slashdot: Best Software For Med-School Note-Taking? · · Score: 2

    The best doctors are the ones who are experts at looking things up. The ones that think they already know everything because they went to med school are the ones to be worried about.

  17. Re:pen and paper on Ask Slashdot: Best Software For Med-School Note-Taking? · · Score: 2

    The best pen for avoiding fatigue is a fountain pen, unless of course you're a left handed devil worshipper. You barely have to touch the page.

  18. Re:pen and paper on Ask Slashdot: Best Software For Med-School Note-Taking? · · Score: 2

    Is that going to be on the test? Should I write it down? Ok.

  19. Re:An even more elegant solution on Illuminating Window-Less Houses With a Plastic Bottle · · Score: 1

    Are you some kind of marketer hired to promote windows or something? Get a life.

  20. Re:Glass bottles on Illuminating Window-Less Houses With a Plastic Bottle · · Score: 1

    If they leak they could ruin valuable antique furniture, hardwood floors, or even short their computers!

  21. Re:Weird... on Illuminating Window-Less Houses With a Plastic Bottle · · Score: 1

    This is as old as clear plastic bottles.

  22. Re:Excellent on IAB Urges People To Stop "Mozilla From Hijacking the Internet" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Java. Javascript. NOBODY CARES.

  23. Fast-paced chess on steroids on Playing StarCraft Could Boost Your Cognitive Flexibility · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I doubt anyone who makes such a claim has ever seen high level fast-paced chess.

  24. From the Homer Simpson School of Marketing on 20 People Shot With BB Guns At LG G2 Promotional Event · · Score: 1

    "My marketing plan attracted a record number of police and fire officials, but few stayed to bowl."

  25. Re:That family is filthy fucking rich, right? on HeLa Cell Line Genome Data To Be Published · · Score: 1

    Since when is your excised tumour considered intellectual property?
