  1. Pigeons Vs. The Clacks on Pigeon Turns Out To Be Faster Than S. African Net · · Score: 3, Funny

    Excellent proof of concept by Lord Vetinari. I do hope Moist Von Lipwig gets this contract as well. Increased pigeon poo fertilizer along the main trunk lines should help agriculture in the region as well. Remind me to participate in the subsequent land-snatching.

  2. Women and Children? on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    Women, children and people of faith will never be able to learn what you have to impart because of the filth you are tending in this rank garden.

    I'm a woman, you fucking insensitive clod!

  3. Don't forget your .bib file on PhD Research On Software Design Principles? · · Score: 5, Funny

  4. ...Also at University of Michigan on Higher Tuition For an Engineering Degree · · Score: 1

    Tuition for engineering majors at the University of Michigan has also been higher than for most of the other majors. It's been that way for at least the last nine years that I've been in school there (and yes, I've gotten more than one degree). I was always told it was to support the additional resources, such as dedicated computing centers, student project teams, and more file storage space. I avail myself of all the resources I can get my hands on, and it seems well worth the extra cost to have all my research automatically backed up. As for the business school, it is my understanding that they're putting in multimedia-laden classrooms and probably other resources. Perhaps the higher fee is also related to that? Of course, we could all be getting fleeced.
