  1. Use the force, Lukin on Scientists Create New "Lightsaber-Like" Form of Matter · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh yeah.

  2. "No assembly, soldering, firmware modding?" on 3D Printer Controlled With a Touch-Screen Linux Tablet · · Score: 2

    So, where's the fun in that?

  3. Sounds like great research. on Walk or Run: Are We Built To Be Lazy? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to obtain a government grant to help me develop it.

  4. Re:*PUBLIC* posts on Online Loneliness At Google+ · · Score: 1

    I always thought Slashdot had that honor.

  5. You laugh, but... on Police Find Apple Branded Stoves In China · · Score: 4, Funny

    Consider the poor SOB's who bought the genuine Windows ovens instead.

  6. Re:I call bullshit on Interrupted Sleep Might Be the Best Kind · · Score: 1

    Taking care of young children really was the most stressful thing I ever went through. I would be cautious about making inferences about sleep patterns or anything else based on that wonderful-yet-frequently-hellish period of my life :)

    PS: It got better.

  7. Re:A statistical blimp on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 1

    He's full of hot air?

  8. Huh on If You're Fat, Broke, and Smoking, Blame Language · · Score: 4, Funny

    I expected this to be about programming languages. I've known a lot of fat, broke, chain-smoking COBOL programmers.

  9. Re:Be more like George on Mitt Romney, Robotics, and the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 1

    He'll end up being more like George W.

  10. What's left must be the truth on Mitt Romney, Robotics, and the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 3, Funny

    If Romney is in the uncanny valley, let's eliminate the impossible and what's left must be the truth. He clearly is not a corpse, and let's face it, zombies are fictional, so he must have some sort of prosthesis. Not a prosthetic hand, but perhaps a prosthetic forehead.

  11. Re:I can't remember my husband's passwords on Teens Share Passwords As a Form of Intimacy · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Hey, baby, I'm a language guy, know what I mean, nudge, nudge.

  12. Re:Terminator Reference on Google Merges Google+ Into Search · · Score: 1

    ... he posts anonymously.

  13. Re:I doubt it on High School Reunions — Facebook's Newest Victim? · · Score: 1

    "Interfaces", "support", "algorithm", "exceptions", "source" -- sheesh, how many computer-science concepts can you apply to human interactions in one Slashdot post?

  14. Re:Doesn't matter on DynDNS Cuts Back Free DNS Options · · Score: 0

    Occupy deprecated.

  15. Re:Qt on Why Developers Still Prefer iOS To Android · · Score: 1

    Three to mod up, Scotty.

  16. Re:The Atlantic on Christopher Hitchens Dies At 62 · · Score: 4, Informative

    I meant it to be complimentary, as he was clearly a smart guy with a talent for communicating.

  17. The Atlantic on Christopher Hitchens Dies At 62 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I remember a reviewer observing that Christopher Hitchens writes books faster than most people read. I suspect that was true.

  18. Not everyone is so lucky on Should Social Media Affect Your Creditworthiness? · · Score: 3, Funny

    At least George has Clarence as an angel investor.

  19. Re:News for nerds, stuff that... gets hard. on Bug With "Singing Penis" Is World's Loudest · · Score: 2

    Slashdotters might find it inspirational. If a bug can find a use for its penis, there's hope for the rest of us.

  20. Misleading name? on New Google Tool To Find Trend Correlations · · Score: 1

    This tool finds an association between categorical data, namely a search word and counts for searches of that word. "Correlation" refers to a special type of association, i.e. between two quantitative data, which, correct me if I'm wrong, this tool does not measure. Am I being pedantic here? Or should we take a stand for correct and precise useage of statistical terms?

  21. AIBO is dead? on If You're Going To Kill It, Open Source It · · Score: 1

    I thought I kept up with news for nerds, but I missed that one. When did AIBO die? Was there an outcry, like a great disturbance in the force or anything?

  22. Four, by my count on MS Global Strategy Chief: Tablets Are a Fad · · Score: 1

    1. iPad
    2. Android
    3. RIM
    4. iPhone/iPod touch (Yeah, I'm reaching here).
    5. ?
    (Yes, and before anyone says "whoosh," I know you are quoting the IBM exec from the mid-20th century).

  23. Republic on Utah To Teach USA is a Republic, Not a Democracy · · Score: 1

    Yes, and for centuries the Jedi defended the Republic. That was before the dark times.

  24. Re:What? on Kidney Printer · · Score: 2

    "Just" a mold? I suppose penicillin is "just" a mold. You insensitive clod.

  25. Re:Pfft on Disarm Internet Trolls, Gently · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm sorry, sir, but this is the "Dealing With Trolls" thread. You're looking for the "Godwin" thread, which is the next door down.
