  1. You would not want to swallow this stuff on Space Sugar Discovered In Binary System Star · · Score: 2

    Glycolaldehyde is the first step in the metabolism of ethylene glycol, and likewise will be metabolized to oxalic acid, which is the poison in rhubarb.

  2. Before the DDT Derp Brigade shows up on Promising New Drug May Cure Malaria · · Score: 1

    like they did in TFA: No, No, DDT isn't banned when used to combat malaria.

  3. One strongly worded letter, coming up? on The World's First 3D-Printed Gun · · Score: 1

    So today's Saturday, is today when the UN is the Global Conspiracy of the New World Order? Is it on Tuesday that the UN is the Gang that Can't Shoot Straight?

  4. Re:But ... on The World's First 3D-Printed Gun · · Score: 1

    Well, NRA as an organization really is single-issue. If you look carefully at their website, for example, you won't find general praises of Republicans or damnations of Democrats. And their score cards for various politicians focus solely on their gun rights / gun control stance and their legislative history with respect to that, not their party affiliation or other political views they may hold.

    Umm...no.

  5. There are profits to be made!

  6. Re:This is why we need more unions and more worker on Subcontractor Tells Fukushima Workers To Hide Radiation Exposure · · Score: 1

    Codify workers rights in LAW, not illegal pooling of power.

    2) Repeal those laws in the name of deregulation.

    3) Profit! (but not for the workers, of course.)

  7. Re:in 3..2..1 on Chicken Vaccines Combine To Produce Deadly Virus · · Score: 1

    Right. First they're requiring you to get vaccinated and then the next thing you know they're hauling you off to the gulag.

  8. Re:Breathless summary by the clueless on Texas GOP Educational Platform Opposes Teaching Critical Thinking Skills · · Score: 1

    As usual Slashdot puts up any and all propaganda that makes anyone but radical leftists look like lunatics.

    Umm..no. The Big Fat Idiot calls anyone but a lunatic a "radical leftist."

  9. Re:Breathless summary by the clueless on Texas GOP Educational Platform Opposes Teaching Critical Thinking Skills · · Score: 1

    And the Moral Majority was both of those things and the Holy Roman Empire all three.

  10. It's the Democrat*IC* Party. on Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times · · Score: 1

    Blah blah blah Democrat Party blah blah blah blah blah Democrat Party blah blah blah blah Democrat Party blah blah blah

    Seriously, what do you expect to accomplish by using "Democrat" as an adjective, except to make yourself look like a douchebag?

  11. Re:Big Brother? on Expect Mandatory 'Big Brother' Black Boxes In All New Cars From 2015 · · Score: 1

    (B) the owner or lessee consents to the retrieval of the information for any purpose, including the purpose of diagnosing, servicing, or repairing the motor vehicle;

    And here, Mr. Policyholder, is the consent form you'll have to sign if you want us to pay your claim.

  12. "Thieves" and a "miserable failure" on Spanish Copyright Society Raided For Embezzlement · · Score: 1

  16. And who gives right-wing talk radio a bully pulpit on Energy Star Program Needs an Overhaul · · Score: 1

    if not the mainstream media?

  17. Tons of CO2? But...but...but... on Energy Star Program Needs an Overhaul · · Score: 0, Troll

    Given the billions of dollars and tons of CO2 that are at stake

    But...but...but...AAAAAALLLLLL GOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRE!

  18. What could possibly go wrong? on Amateur Scientists Seek Fusion Reaction · · Score: 5, Interesting

    All known hydrogen fusion reactions produce strong neutron fluxes. Strong enough to kill, and death by radiation poisoning is not my idea of a fun time.

  19. Re:Not really the point on White House Says Hard Drives Were Destroyed · · Score: 1

    There is absolutely no way to compare "a cock-sucking" with "causing the deaths of 4,000 America heroes."
    To say nothing of God alone knows how many Iraqis. Seriously, if Osama bin Laughin' is such an evil man for killing his thousands, what does that say of george w. bush for killing his hundreds of thousands?
  20. The burden of proof on Correcting Misperceptions About Evolution · · Score: 1
    Others, more religious than me, suspect God had a hand in [evolution], and I have trouble rationally arguing against that theory.

    It's not on you to argue against this proposition, rationally or otherwise. The burden of proof is on the cdesign proponentsists to rationally argue for it.

  21. Not over any human-relevant time scale on Astronomers Say Dying Sun Will Engulf Earth · · Score: 1

    The sun brightens over hundreds of millions of years. Anthropogenic climate change happens over tens, hundreds, or thousands of years. By the time the sun gets brighter to any noticeable degree, we won't be here to notice it.

  22. "Tortuous" interference? on Geek Wins Copyright Lawsuit Against Corporation · · Score: 1

    The litigation itself might have been tortuous, but though IANAL I'm quite sure the proper legal term is tortious interference. Even if Firefox's spellcheck says that ain't a word.

  23. In other news... on Prince, Village People to Sue The Pirate Bay · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...people are actually bothering to pirate works by Prince, the Village People and ABBA.

  24. So it is, I stand corrected on Linux Kernel 2.6 Local Root Exploit · · Score: 1

    Long is indeed 8 bytes. Int is still 4. Thanx.

  25. 'Sploit needs fixing on x86-64 on Linux Kernel 2.6 Local Root Exploit · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The given exploit prints pointers using "%lx". That's wrong, and on x86-64 it will break (pointers are 8 bytes, longs are 4 bytes).

    Every instance of "0x%lx" needs to be replaced by "%p".

    The moral of this story is: Always use gcc -Wall and fraggin' pay attention to the warnings.
