  1. Re:We need the opposite. on Could Crowd-Sourced Direct Democracy Work? · · Score: 2

    Well, in the past they've usually used either race or a informal poll of whom you intend to vote for.

  2. Re:The modern world sucks. on Brazilian ISPs Hit With Massive DNS Attack · · Score: 1

    Doesn't "twice as fast in 1973" seem awfully specific to any of you *woosh* victims?

  3. The modern world sucks. on Brazilian ISPs Hit With Massive DNS Attack · · Score: 2

    Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973, but I would kill to go back and live in a time where you had to actually break into my house to steal from me.

  4. They can navigate space, but not New Mexico on White House Responds to ET/UFO Petitions · · Score: 1

    I've always loved the theory that Aliens can travel hundreds of light-years through space, but New Mexico was just too god damned complicated for them.

  5. Re:We're doomed on Hacked MIT Server Used To Stage Attacks · · Score: 1

    Just make sure to use systems so old and useless that nobody could ever want to compromise them.

  6. Ellipses ... on Oxford Professor Taken To Task For Linking Internet Use To Autism · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who had to read that twice to be clear on who was supposed to be talking after the ellipses?

  7. Because you reminded me of it: on 'Free' Games Dominate Top-Grossing Game List On App Store · · Score: 1

    "Let's cut to the chase. There are two kinds of people: sheep and sharks. Anyone who's a sheep is fired. Who's a sheep?"

    "Errr, excuse me... which is the one people like to hug? "

    "Gutsy question. You're a shark. Sharks are winners, and they don't look back, because they don't have necks. Necks are for sheep. I am proud to be the shepherd of this herd of sharks!"

  8. Buying power from neighboring countries... on Belgium To Give Up Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    Its a good thing that all European countries get along so well with their neighbors, and that they always will.

    If history is any lesson, this should continue to work smoothly for hundreds of years!

  9. Re:Nah... on Theologian Attempts Censorship After Losing Public Debate · · Score: 0

    Well, ones a ID creationist and ones a evolution creationist. They're both still creationists.

    It actually makes quite a bit of sense.

  10. Re:Christianity offers a wide range of opinions on Theologian Attempts Censorship After Losing Public Debate · · Score: 1

    No, you aren't really a southern protestant.

  11. Re:I stopped reading the responses after... on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 3, Informative

    Unless they do, then the really can. The problem is the overlap between pot smokers and slackers.

    Its easier to quit smoking pot than it is to stop drinking soda.

  12. Re:I stopped reading the responses after... on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't know if I buy that list... Considering they have heroin rated lower than nicotine. Quitting smoking was a bitch, but I didn't fucking die from it!

  13. Re:I stopped reading the responses after... on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 3, Informative

    As a former smoker, a coffee drinker, and a former marijuana user, I can promise you that both caffeine and nicotine are far more addictive than marijuana.

    In fact, I've never in my life had a "marijuana craving", but I've had many pounding headaches from not giving in to nicotine cravings.

  14. I stopped reading the responses after... on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 5, Informative

    ...I read their claim that marijuana is addictive. You can lie to my face all you want, but don't expect me to vote for you.

  15. This reminds me of the good 90s on Avira Anti-Virus Detects Itself · · Score: 2

    Where I couldn't convince my parents not to use Norton, despite it destroying our family computer at least 6 times.

  16. Haunted house... of sorts on Ask Slashdot: How Are You Haunting Your House This Hallowe'en? · · Score: 1

    I stopped doing basic yard maintenance and I've just been throwing garbage out of the window. It creates a really neat, scary haunted house effect.

    Of course, I won't be putting out candy and I don't have any kids, so its really just for the benefit of the community.

  17. You know you've given up on the government when... on PROTECT IP Renamed To the E-PARASITE Act · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When you're response to garbage like this changes from outrage, and a motivation to act, to a sigh and a slump of the shoulders.

    You know what? Fuck it. The majority in this country doesn't understand or care whats going on in Washington, and the corporations now run both political parties, but at least I get to keep my guns. Well, I cant use them in self defense anymore, but they sure do look neat.

  18. Just stay in buisness FFS on Netflix Loses 800,000 Subscribers After Qwikster Gaffe · · Score: 1

    I still really like the service, and the last thing I want to do is go back to blockbuster.

    Please Netflix, for the love of god, don't fix what isn't broken and don't drive yourselves out of business.

  19. Africanized bees. on Why So Many Crashes of Bee-Carrying Trucks? · · Score: 1

    They're the problem and we all know it. They just drive around listening to raps and shooting all the jobs.

  20. Re:I have a better cure for PTSD on Manufacturing Dreams · · Score: 1

    What about non-military PTSD sufferers? Rape victims for instance?

  21. Re:Free market my ass. There's no such thing. on Sprint Cutting Unlimited 4G Data Plans · · Score: 2

    That depends on if they have enough money, but a safe bet would be yes.

  22. Well this is some artificial bullshit. on Microsoft's Office365 Limits Emails To 500 Recipients · · Score: 1

    There aren't really a lot of good things to say about this.

  23. I hope it hits my house! on German Satellite To Fall From Sky · · Score: 1

    I could sure use some sweet sweet settlement money!

  24. Re:This is nothing new. on When Political Mapping Leaks Into Science Research · · Score: 1

    What, global warming?

  25. So amazon is supposed to just not make money? on Librarian Attacks Amazon's Kindle Lending Program · · Score: 0

    I'm confused as to how it makes sense for Amazon to work with libraries if they cant even advertise.
