  1. Re:Defense on Makerbot Cracks Down On 3D-Printable Gun Parts · · Score: 1

    Another reason most uneducated people think it's an assault rifle is because they assume AR stands for assault rifle.

  2. Re:Cofactor F430 on Single Microbe May Have Triggered the "Great Dying" · · Score: 1

    Imagine if everyone on the planet had an F430.

    There would be no more speed bumps and Italy would have the highest GDP? Right?

    You have chosen wisely.

  5. Re:The game still has its flaws on Blizzard Has a Version of Diablo 3 Running On Consoles · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's not "awesome" until I can play it offline.

  6. Re:Raspberry Pi on Microsoft Surface Struggles to Ship A Million Units · · Score: 1

    If you compare quarterly Surface sales to annual Pi sales, you'd be correct.

  7. Re:Did He Really Just Pull That Up To His Face? on Wiki Weapon Project Test-Fires a (Partly) 3D-Printed Rifle · · Score: 4, Informative

    The only purpose of a hood is to keep stuff from getting in the engine bay and improve aerodynamics. If you think it adds structural integrity to the vehicle, I suggest you spend a little more time under the hood. Most hoods are attached at two points by weak hinges, real structural there. Not to mention, a common hood material is fiberglass which breaks up into shards fairly easy.

    Woot! has no problem doing it, I don't see why Amazon wouldn't be able to do the same.

    Woot! Summertime Shipping

  9. Re:There is NO SUCH THING as being self sufficient on Tapping Shale Reserves, US Would Become World's Top Oil Producer By 2017 · · Score: 2

    You assume they'll label it as a tax. While we might call it a tax, they'll call it the Bald Eagle Investment Bureau for Environmental Restoration Act.

    Yes, but the government can make it harder to import/export, and they can "encourage"(subsidize) companies that actively "drill" within our borders.

    I'm not saying I'd recommend that or that it would bring prices down, but the government has more than enough power to make it happen if you buy the right congressmen.

  11. Re:mo3 3own on Study: the Universe Has Almost Stopped Making New Stars · · Score: 1

    This looks like someone tried to generate an automatic "5 Insightful" comment generator and failed miserably.

    He's probably married.

    With that many monitors? Doubtful.

  13. Re:Of all the places that got a shuttle, on Hurricane Sandy Damages Space Shuttle Enterprise · · Score: 1

    This argument might hold water if the other Saturn V rockets weren't also stored "out to rust in the sun" for decades before they were sheltered.

  15. Re:Not so bad on Lexmark To Exit Inkjet Printer Market · · Score: 1

    For the cost of that laser printer's replacement ink cartridge alone, I can get a quality color inkjet WITH a built-in scanner. While I might not need color prints(nice to have just in case), I'd make the case that a scanner is mandatory in any house.

    Science.

  17. Better question on Ask Slashdot: How Many of You Actually Use Math? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How many of you use the problem solving skills that were developed in math class? I may not use math everyday, but I certainly solve complex problems that I'm sure others with less math education would struggle to solve.

  18. Re:Once the market matures on Microsoft Lays Out Money-Making Options For Windows Store Developers · · Score: 1

    I think Ballmer and his wife could get them free if they wanted though.

    Sorry that name was taken after my 10 year old's last pool party.

  21. Re:Once again on GOP Blocks Senate Debate On Dem Student Loan Bill · · Score: 1

    A good first step would be to not offer $250,000 worth of loans to a Philosophy major. Or to anyone for that matter.

  23. Re:I don't want a combination fridge/TV set on IKEA Announces Furniture With Integrated TV, Speakers, and Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    I second this. Not all particle board is identical. Three bedroom sets, numerous shelves, kid furniture, etc... has all lasted at least 5+ years and a couple moves. And there's no indication that they wouldn't last another 10. The stuff I've bought at the local big box office supply store is FAR worse quality than IKEA. I had a shelf that sagged when I put anything heavier than empty DVD cases on it. Meanwhile, I've got heavy books on an IKEA shelf that have been there 10 years, and it's still "straight as a board".
