  1. Re:Torturing ants on Bradley Manning Makes Statement · · Score: 0

    Yes, it's not like the parent poster was damning an entire nation of over 300,000,000. You would be surprised at how little control over the government the average man on the street has.

    You must be young. Have patience.

  3. Re:Torturing ants on Bradley Manning Makes Statement · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Are you from one of the European nations without blood on its hands? Remind me, which one is that?

  4. Re:awesome opportunity here on Radar Guns Primed For Asteroid Spin Trap · · Score: 2

    I would have said it's inconceivable.

  5. Re:Intelligent Design on Ask Dr. Robert Bakker About Dinosaurs and Merging Science and Religion · · Score: 1

    If we're the result of intelligent design that wouldn't necessarily mean everything would be perfect. We all make mistakes and six days is not a lot of time.

  6. How intelligent were dinosaurs? on Ask Dr. Robert Bakker About Dinosaurs and Merging Science and Religion · · Score: 2

    Is it possible that they used tools like some mammals?

  7. Re:Semiconductor Industry on Are There Any Real Inventors Left? · · Score: 0

    I think the original poster meant to say 'left feet', 'smelly feet' doesn't make sense.

  8. Poor me on 64GB MS Surface Pro Only Has 23GB of Free Space · · Score: 1

    I bought a 16 GB Nook Tablet last year and it only had 1 GB for user storage.

    Thankfully it's not a rectangle with rounded corners.

  10. Pro tip #4 on Three Low-Tech Hacks for Phones and Tablets · · Score: 2

    Store your extra cell phone battery in your front pants pocket along with paper clips, foil gum wrappers and loose change. You never know when a fire in your pants will come in handy.

  11. Re:I dunno... on Ask Slashdot: Are Timed Coding Tests Valuable? · · Score: 1

    That's how I remember it too.

  12. Re:Work from home? on Google's Manual For Its Unseen Human Raters · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe, send pictures and your hourly rate.

  13. Re:It isn't very different on Australian Govt Pledges Action On Google Tax Evasion · · Score: 1

    "When the government sets a rate of 21% corporation tax, it's pretty clear that the government intends that companies pay 21% corporation tax on their revenues." Corporate taxes are not based on revenue. They are usually based on the difference between revenue and cost. It would be hell to live in a world where we had to obey the 'intention' of the law rather than the law itself.

  14. Re:This is known as on Samsung Hits Apple With 20% Price Increase · · Score: 1

    It makes perfect sense, I bet the parent is a Keynesian.

  15. My service provider is Sprint so... on The UK's 5-Minute 4G Data Cap · · Score: 1

    I fail to see what all hype about 4G is about.

  16. Re:Doesn't anyone think... on New Evidence That the Moon Was Created In a Massive Collision · · Score: 1

    I know what you mean, it's as if an invisible force formed the moon into an almost perfect sphere.

  17. Chemitry is useful on Parent Questions Mandatory High School Chemistry · · Score: 1

    I'm a widower now, but I used to save money by making cleaning products for my first wife out of bleach and ammonia.

  18. Re:I recall... on Proposed Posting of Clients List In Prostitution Case Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Actually it is a harmless act until it isn't. People drive drunk all the time and no one is hurt.

  19. Re:Firefox *16*!? on Firefox 16 Pulled To Address Security Vulnerability · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's mad because we never know whether we're getting a patch with a few bug fixes or a completely different UI. I guess I'm mostly annoyed that Mozilla and other software producers feel the need to make-over their UI every six months. It feels like change just for the sake of change.
