  1. Re:Hallelujah! on Jack Thompson Disbarred · · Score: 1

    "Show me one Christian that's open to believe that I won't be judged because I don't believe, and I'll be open to change my classification. Until then, I only see various Christian denominations as different flavors of ice cream, and I don't want ice cream, whether it's pistachio or rotten herring flavoured."

  2. Re:Yes on Is Open Source Different In Europe Than In the US? · · Score: 1

    No one I've ever met. People might not want to be in europe but they're certainly not happy with the USA either

  3. Yes on Is Open Source Different In Europe Than In the US? · · Score: 2, Funny

    In Europe, OSS is metric

  4. Re:And the judge understood it? on Tufts Tells Judge, We Can't Tie IP To MAC Addresses · · Score: 1

    or maybe they want things legally defined for the jury?

  5. Re:Rock music on Brian May, Rock Legend, Publishes His Thesis · · Score: 1

    He (Brian) does have a PhD in physics and works in the physics dept at my uni but he's not a professor and he doesn't do research. He's effectively a PR man for public understanding of science.

  6. Horses on The Scream Aliens Hear From the Earth · · Score: 1

    Like *lots* of horses

  7. Re:Which Al-Qaeda? on Al-Qaeda's Growing Online Offensive · · Score: 1

  9. Re:Humans out-evolved by other Earthling animals? on The Fight To End Aging Gains Legitimacy, Funding · · Score: 1

    I'm suprised no one else has touched on this. Death is effectively planned obsolescence to ensure the next product gets developed (i.e. the next generation needs to be born), by removing it we'd be killing evolutionary improvements.

  10. Re:I see a red door. on IT Students Contract Out Coursework To India · · Score: 1

    I find your ideas intriuging and wish to subscribe to your revolution

  11. Re:US is officially metric on Trees' Leaves Grow At a Cool 70° All Over the World · · Score: 1

    is that due to a conversion error between seconds and nanoyears?

  12. MOD parent up on Trees' Leaves Grow At a Cool 70° All Over the World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the 1 Kelvin just happens to about 1 degree C but the definitions are indpendent

  13. Re:Did any of this need to be confirmed? on Wikileaks Gets Hold of Counterinsurgency Manual · · Score: 2, Insightful

    my democratic government is made up of man eating lizards

  14. Re:Other people's stickers? on Road Rage Linked To Automobile Bumper Stickers · · Score: 1

    except they weren't really foreign at the time

  15. Re:Fundamental flaw on '90s Dot-Coms — Where Are They Now? · · Score: 1

    I don't even mind it that much, its a bit like a voluntary tax on stupidity. It becomes a major problem when it starts affecting things people really need like housing and food and fuel...etc or when it sucks in so much money that it fucks the productive economy..

  16. Re:Low-budget Marine Corps on Game Technology Helps Drive Military Training · · Score: 1

    He's arguing that it is not torture, because other people have done much worse

  17. Re:Heh on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

  18. Re:No Surprise... on Jodrell Bank May Close Down · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm a UK scientist and I'm not leaving because I don't spend all day reading the Daily Mail

  19. Re:Recent upgrades? on Jodrell Bank May Close Down · · Score: 1

    None, we have far more financial problems to worry about than JB. Such as the huge budget deficit from building lots of nice new buildings for the arts and humanities people who being in no money.

  20. Re:Explosives on Soviet space satellites on The Shadow Space Race · · Score: 1

    even if they didn't, the rumour is sufficient

    [1] McFarlane ; Family guy

  23. Re:Fits the Profile for Standard Theft on A Torrid Tale of Plagiarizing Paleontologists · · Score: 1

    In my old lab the authorship always went in order of who did the most for the paper, but my boss always went last. It seemed to be conventional in my field (synchrotron/surface science) that the PI appeared last, because first and last were the only names anyone looks at.

  24. Re:I'd settle for... on Bill Gates Calls for a 'Kinder Capitalism' · · Score: 1

    that makes me a sad panda :(
