  1. Re:Unless on Gold Nanoparticles Turn Trees Into Streetlights · · Score: 1

    A number of other number theorists would differ. "Georg Cantor had some interesting things to day about it." The more I try to make sense out of that sentence the number I get.

  2. Re:Ha! on Gold Nanoparticles Turn Trees Into Streetlights · · Score: 1

    I, for one, find your welcome disiduously disturbing.

  3. Re:Wrong premise on Firesheep Countermeasure Tool BlackSheep · · Score: 1

    But how many of those half a million are look-sees that wind up in the trash?

  4. Re:It could just be random on Do Firefox Users Pay More For Car Loans? · · Score: 1

    But what does the mortgage broker charge?

  5. Re:Repeat after me on Do Firefox Users Pay More For Car Loans? · · Score: 1

    "And they'd tell you where to go." To Crapital One via Comcrap, no doubt.

  6. Re:Why can't we have commercial software like this on Zeus Attackers Turned the Tables On Researchers · · Score: 1

    You obviously never lived in Krushchev's USSR.

  7. Pat down, or molest? on TSA To Make Pat-Downs More Embarrassing To Encourage Scanner Use · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What will be the difference between a pat down and a molest? Inevitably it'll take a lawsuit to find out.

  8. Re:Encrypte Everything on UK To Track All Browsing, Email, and Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    We'll always have ROT-13.

  9. Re:How long before a digital copy is leaked.. on Pentagon Makes Good On Plan To Destroy Critical Book · · Score: 1

    No worries, they're planning to burn Ebay next.

  10. Re:Anonymous Coward doesn't protect you much on Judge Allows Subpoenas For Internet Users · · Score: 1

    Meh. -- from the i2P2 FAQ: "Like Tor, I2P does not magically encrypt the Internet. You are vulnerable to snooping by the outproxy operator. The Tor FAQ does a good job of explaining this. There is no HTTPS outproxy in I2P, and you cannot hide your traffic from an HTTP outproxy operator. In addition, you may be vulnerable to collusion between the outproxy operator and operators of other I2P services, if you use the same tunnels ("shared clients")."

    Who wouldn't?!

  12. Re:Portable RFID chip Killer on Is RFID Really That Scary? · · Score: 1

    Alternately, just call up your bank and request an RFID-free card. Chase Bank card's RFID is called "Blink" and they will send you one without it if you ask.

  13. Oy! on First 3-D IMAX Porn Movie Made In Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    There goes the industry.

  14. Re:Man, I could use some of those on The Brain's Secret For Sleeping Like a Log · · Score: 1

    "I would really like to know how to produce these "sleep spindles"." ((( Psst! Hey bud, sleep spindles here. $10 each, three for $25. )))

  15. Well blow them down! on Kids Who Watch Popeye Cartoons Eat More Vegetables · · Score: 2, Funny

    "They fights to the finach, cause they eats their spinach..." earning them detention for fighting, an "F" in Works and Plays Well With Others, and mandatory afterschool remedial English lessons. A-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk!!

  16. Re:capitalism again. on Genetically Modified Canola Spreads To Wild Plants · · Score: 1

    "Monsanto has been known to sue farmers for patent infringement when their crops unintentionally contain genetically modified plants." Many of these farmers are dirt poor eeking out a subsistence living trying to support their families. A lawsuit they cannot possibly afford to defend forces them to give up their farm -- to Monsanto. Whatever side one comes down on regarding the GMO issue, what Monsanto is doing to these third-world farmers is pure evil.

  17. Solution is at hand on Why Bad 3D, Not 3D Glasses, Gives You Headaches · · Score: 1

    Removable 3-D contact lenses! It would make zillions for the inventor. I don't imagine they'd be too hard to make either. As a prescription item, 3-D contacts would be the perfect solution and do away with any more need for 3-D glasses. It's just too bad I can't patent my idea.

  18. Re:Look for an option from your credit card compan on Alternatives To Paypal's Virtual Credit Card Service? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    And I can vouch for Bank of America's ShopSafe. Have used it for years without a hiccup. Discover Card's equivalent seems a bit harder to navigate for some reason.

  19. Re:What is the issue? on Broadway Musicians Replaced With Synthesizers · · Score: 1

    There is no, repeat, no substitute for the experience of live music produced by live musicians. Whoever finds they are satisfied with ersatz, i.e. synthetic machine music at Broadway shows and doesn't miss the thrill of experiencing live music might as well stay home altogether and watch the DVD on their shiny new 3-D TV.

  20. Re:100 Million Sensational Slashdot Headlines! on 100 Million Facebook Pages Leaked On Torrent Site · · Score: 1

    "But this headline is probably the reason I'll delete my Slashdot account..." Let us know if you're successful.

    Perfect! The inventor can sell ad space to Lenscrafters.

  22. Re:I fail to see what is newsworthy on Man Wants to Donate His Heart Before He Dies · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not true. In NY for example it is illegal to remove a patient's organs before he has been pronounced dead by a physician using certain clinical criteria. Depending on the organs in question the pathologist has window of one to 24 hours for the tissue to be viable. A special case is when a patient is on a ventilator. He can be declared "brain dead" which is legally irreversible, clinical death, but all his organs can be kept 'alive' and healthy for days.

  23. Re:I'll warn the aliens on NASA's Top 10 Space Junk Missions · · Score: 1

    Get off it, you have no alien friends. My alien friends say so.

  24. Proxies, https, SSH on FBI May Get Easier Access To Internet Activity · · Score: 4, Funny
