  1. Re:Why not sue over out-of-control deficit spendin on High School Students Sue Federal Gov't Over Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Something about your post, its confusing.

  2. Re:Be careful what you ask for. on High School Students Sue Federal Gov't Over Global Warming · · Score: 1

    "Eco-police state with massive Federal micromanagement" that's a feature not a bug.

  3. Hope you have a good data plan. on Facebook Is Killing Text Messaging · · Score: 1

    It seems that there is a new update to Facebook a couple of times a week. Each update is about 6.5 mega bytes a pop. I really despise software that needs to update this frequently.

  4. Re:Organic Food on The Rise of Chemophobia In the News · · Score: 4, Funny

    I thought salt was a vegetable.

  5. Re:monohydro dioxide on The Rise of Chemophobia In the News · · Score: 1

    Sorry dude, high school chemistry fail.

  6. Domestic terrorism on Panetta Labels Climate Change a National Security Threat · · Score: 1

    Burning leaves and not recycling.

  7. Re:Waiting for facts on Botched Repair Likely Cause of Combusting iPhone After Flight · · Score: 2, Funny

    You have to subscribe to his newsletter.

  8. Re:Last? No, Latest... on Last Bastion For Climate Dissenters Crumbling · · Score: 1

    I'm not going to declare whether I'm a warmist or denier, my position is more nuanced than that. Commenting on your comment, have you ever read arguments by conspiracy theorists? They never run out of arguments and contrary evidence is always suspect.

  9. This kind of bad on Last Bastion For Climate Dissenters Crumbling · · Score: 1

    I was hoping that clouds would be found to have a moderating effect.

  10. Re:I think you can do it with linux on Ask Slashdot: Overhauling an Amusement Park's Multi-Zone Audio Player? · · Score: 1

    I think you've covered all the bases.

  11. I think you can do it with linux on Ask Slashdot: Overhauling an Amusement Park's Multi-Zone Audio Player? · · Score: -1

    My grandparents used to ask me to help them with their (Windows) computer all the time. I got tired of all the support calls so I loaded Linux on their home computer. They haven't called me for support since.

  12. Re:Spotting Solar system object on World's Largest Digital Camera Project Passes Critical Milestone · · Score: 1

    If they took pictures during the day they wouldn't need a flash. The Sun has a lot more output than any terrestrial bomb flash.

  13. Re:So cold.... on NASA and Astrobotic Investigating Ice Hunting Mission to the Moon · · Score: 2

    Are you Trolling? The friction from drilling would warm the drill bit.

  14. Re:Model fits the data [Re:Vindication] on 'Gaia' Scientist Admits Mispredicting Rate of Climate Change · · Score: 1

    AGW most commonly means Anthropomorphic Global Warming.

  15. Re:Cool, but... on Macbook Owner With Defective GPU Beats Apple In Court · · Score: 1

    They didn't 'knowingly use bad parts'. As far I know none of the manufacturers knew ahead of time they would have a problem. I have a Dell laptop that was part of this whole mess.

  16. Re:Circular reasoning? on Egg-laying, Not Environment, May Explain the Size and Downfall of Dinosaurs · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I weighed less than 10 lbs when I was young and now I'm over 180.

  17. Vaccinations are for the public welfare on Lack of Vaccination Sends Babies In Oregon To the Hospital · · Score: 0

    Vaccinations protect the individual and the herd. Not everyone can be vaccinated and no vaccine is 100% effective. That being said the government/medical complex is partially responsible by requiring so many vaccinations.

  18. Re:Units Fail on IBM Optical Chip Moves Data At 1Tbps · · Score: 1

    I thought the standard unit of measure for data was Library of Congress.

  19. Re:At I suggest on Math Textbooks a Textbook Example of Bad Textbooks · · Score: 1

    One problem is that many public school districts aren't allowed to pay more for teachers with special skills. A starting math teacher has the same pay a gym teacher. It's been that way for a long time. In my opinion a qualified math or science teacher is worth more than a gym teacher.

  20. Re:As users, we're getting fucked over. That's why on Ask Slashdot: Life After Firefox 3.6.x? · · Score: 2

    Then they should have skipped all the intermediate version numbers and went straight to version 11.

  21. Re:Too expensive on Chevy Volt Meets High Resistance, GM Suspends Sales · · Score: 1

    I promise not to drive my diesel underground.

  22. Re:Too expensive on Chevy Volt Meets High Resistance, GM Suspends Sales · · Score: 1

    Apparently it's NO2 is not a problem in Europe. And yes the masses do need cost-effective cars.

  23. Too expensive on Chevy Volt Meets High Resistance, GM Suspends Sales · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Without significant subsidies GM would have sold even fewer cars. The subsidy is a just transfer payment to the well off. High efficiency diesel engines are probably the most cost effective option for the masses and our stupid EPA requirements keep best ones out of the USA.

  24. Re:Implants are not titanium on World's First Biodegradable Joint Implant Grows New Joints · · Score: 1

    After someone dies, do you know if the titanium recovered so that it can be recycled?

  25. Re:Don't play automatically on Raspberry Pi Now Has Distributors -- and Will Soon Have Boards for All (Video) · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you view that website while playing 'Dark Side of the Moon', it totally syncs up.
