  1. Everyone is in favor of saving Hitler's brain... on Paper On Super Flu Strain May Be Banned From Publication · · Score: 1

    But when you put it in the body of a great white shark, oooh, suddenly you've gone too far!

  2. Re:The US Solution on China Probes US Renewable Energy Policy · · Score: 1

    "literally collpased"?

    You literally don't know the meaning of the word literally.

  3. Re:Monorail on California Going Ahead With Bullet Train · · Score: 2, Funny

    What about us brain-dead slobs?

  4. Re:To quote the philosopher Homer: on Cosmic Antimatter Excess Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Thank god at least a few people recognized this!

  5. Re:$1200 for a 4 cent piece of paper? on 88-Year-Old Inventor Hassled By the DEA · · Score: 1
  6. To quote the philosopher Homer: on Cosmic Antimatter Excess Confirmed · · Score: 2

    What is mind?
    No matter.
    What is matter?
    Never mind.

  7. Re:Leaking Secret documents... not OK on Bradley Manning's Court Date Finally Set · · Score: 1

    I love how far this was modded down. Not a single thing I said wasn't common sense, but that fantasy land where so many slashdotters live is hard to escape.

  8. Carmack's Reverse on Doom 3 Source Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh, I thought that was when he went from the god of PC graphics with games like Quake to their bane with that abortion Rage.

  9. Re:He's still better off than Assange on Bradley Manning's Court Date Finally Set · · Score: 2

    Couldn't the same be said about individuals who start national socialist and eugenics enthusiast sites?

  10. Leaking Secret documents... not OK on Bradley Manning's Court Date Finally Set · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I know a lot of people here like to live in a fantasy land where the military doesn't need any secrets, but the fact is that some things are secret for good reason. Troop deployment schedules for instance, can allow the enemy to effectively target less experienced units and kill more Americans.

    Manning had this all explained to him when he got his clearance, and assuming that he really is guilty, he deserves what is coming to him. Like it or not, loose lips really do sink ships.

  11. Re:Idealy Idealist on Bradley Manning's Court Date Finally Set · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And when you get a clearance they make goddamn sure that you understand what happens if you misuse it.

  12. Re:Two scenarios. on SCADA Hacker: Water District Used 3-Character Password · · Score: 1

    Its that same old immature hacker mentality. All of the worst things about the internet and my generation rolled into one.

    "If I can get away with it, then you deserve it!"

  13. Patent Reform on Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google Chase 'Got Milk?' Patents · · Score: 1

    I'd like to say I hope that we get some kind of patent reform which fixes all of this, but to be honest I don't understand it well enough to state with any confidence what needs to happen. IANAPL. Can someone who is shed some light on what would need to happen for this quagmire to end?

  14. Re:Flawed study on Hybrids Safer In Crashes — Except For Pedestrians · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be the opposite? If you remove all of the vehicles that don't drive in the city then you have a smaller pool of vehicles, but since the pedestrian accidents almost all occur in the city you still have most of your hit pedestrians. Because presumptively the electrical/hybrid ratio would be higher without considering rural vehicles, and the pedestrians hit total would be nearly the same, it would most likely remain statistically significant, and the effect-size would most likely increase.

  15. Re:Moon movie? on Energy Firm Wants To Be First To Mine the Moon · · Score: 4, Informative

    Damn, you beat me to it. Everyone needs to see that movie, its fantastic.

  16. Re:Obigatory: Ayn Rand on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 2

    If you'd actually read Atlas Shrugged you would know that the corporate heads who buy these laws and regulations are portrayed as villains.

    Remember the anti dog-eat-dog law? No?

  17. Re:Obigatory: Ayn Rand on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Enough of this corporate propaganda. That damn Rearden metal has NOT BEEN CERTIFIED SAFE BY THE GOVERNMENT.

    Mr. Rearden doesn't care about you or your safety, all he cares about is making money with his UNTESTED and UNSAFE product.

  18. Re:Enough on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Come on guys, this fellow clearly wasn't talking about civics as in government, he was talking about a Honda specific automotive engineering course that his friend "oldhack" attends with him!

    Otherwise he would look like a total moron.

  19. Re:What is going on down there? on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Millenia even. Long before there was even a United States, the United States was controlled by the corporations!

  20. Re:What is going on down there? on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    You're thinking of both mainstream political parties.

  21. Ice Cream+Graham Crackers+Crashing on Android Ice Cream Sandwich Source Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    Come on, we all already know goes into an ice Cream Sandwich. You get two graham crackers, put ice cream between them, and serve with a side of randomly lock up my phone for no reason. Easy.

  22. The meek are inheariting the earth. on In-Vitro Muscle Cells, It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 0

    And by meek I mean pussies. I'm sure this will sell great, even if it tastes like garbage and costs hundreds of times what real meat does. Anything to keep all the poor little animals from being harmed.

  23. Re:corner ? on Mexican Cartel Beheads Another Blogger · · Score: 1

    Oh, they go after the REAL criminals, like the US government and corporations. Beheading happy drug gangs are clearly not as bad, no sir.

  24. Fuck people. on Valve Announces Massive Steam Server Intrusion · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm out of other ways to word it. I fucking hate people.

  25. Its simple... on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Spammers You Know? · · Score: 1

    It rhymes with "shmashmit shmurder".
