  1. Pretty soon cars will be completely safe... on NHTSA Toughens Crash Test Rating Standards · · Score: 1

    ...because no one will be able to afford to drive them.

  2. Re:Not the first time on How To Lead a Nation That's About To Be Swallowed By the Sea · · Score: 1

    Anyone with moderate intelligence should be able to extrapolate, that yes there room to resettle the residents of Kiribati.

  3. Re:I fail to see the problem on How To Lead a Nation That's About To Be Swallowed By the Sea · · Score: 1

    I think single celled organisms can move faster than that. Many crystals grow faster than that.

  4. Re: I fail to see the problem on How To Lead a Nation That's About To Be Swallowed By the Sea · · Score: 1

    When was the last time a ship was sunk by rising water?

  5. Re:Cue the World's Smallest Violin on How To Lead a Nation That's About To Be Swallowed By the Sea · · Score: 1

    I think there actually appears to be a downward trend in both of those time periods. Certainly not a 1-6 foot rise by the end of the century.

    Fortunately, it's pretty easy to move your stuff faster than erosion or rising water.

  7. Re:Not the first time on How To Lead a Nation That's About To Be Swallowed By the Sea · · Score: 4, Informative

    There's a vacant house across the street form me in Wisconsin.

  8. Re: The REAL question waiting to be answered: on Iran's Military Nuclear Program Lasted Longer Than We Thought (thebulletin.org) · · Score: 1

    You should move there. I'm sure they love western defectors. Make sure to send your family photos of the first public execution of a homosexual that you are forced to attend.

    Muslim terrorists do intentionally attack schools, you idiot.

  10. Re: Yeah But on Graphene Shows Promise For Super Strong Dental Fillings (elsevier.com) · · Score: 1

    Here's hoping that they figure it out.

  11. Re: Yeah But on Graphene Shows Promise For Super Strong Dental Fillings (elsevier.com) · · Score: 1

    Do your other teeth erode? Just because the fillings are super strong doesn't make your mouth stronger, pain receptors less sensitive, or your existing teeth weaker. I have one filling and its completely shot after 8 years, it would be nice if they lasted a lifetime.

  12. Re: I have an idea on Turkey Downs Allegedly Intruding Russian Fighter Near Syria Border (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Who is they?

  13. Then what is thoughtcrime? on Court: 'Repugnant' Online Discussions Aren't Thoughtcrime (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    From the I-dont-think-thoughtcrime-means-what-you-think-it-means dept.

  14. You get there through... on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Approach Big Companies With Your Product? · · Score: 1

    ...smaller companies. Seriously. People talk. Especially the tech wonks who deal with this stuff. Make a good product, give your customers what they want, under-promise and over-deliver. Do all that, and if your product is really revolutionary and a good value, the big companies will come calling.

  15. Re:AGW deniers... on Arkansas Has a Growing Population of "Climate Change Refugees" · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but if more people don't leave the Marshall Islands, they might tip over like Guam.

  16. Re:Repubs hate P.I.s on Arkansas Has a Growing Population of "Climate Change Refugees" · · Score: 1

    Oh, I see. This entire thread pretty much rips on Arkansas and the Ozarks, but as soon as someone rips on on an inner city, it's racist.

  17. Slashdot is the lazy one. 20 years later and we still need to manually type stupid slashcode.

  18. Re: I have an idea on Turkey Downs Allegedly Intruding Russian Fighter Near Syria Border (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Just to make it clear, Israel still has a secular government.

  19. Re: I have an idea on Turkey Downs Allegedly Intruding Russian Fighter Near Syria Border (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you mean that Israel is rally ruled by a cabal? You probably shouldn't say that in public, at least not anywhere near my family.

  20. Re: I have an idea on Turkey Downs Allegedly Intruding Russian Fighter Near Syria Border (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I love how modern liberalism has become so authoritarian that "liberals" have to openly mock libertarians. They are not supposed to be on opposite sides of the compass.

  21. Re: I have an idea on Turkey Downs Allegedly Intruding Russian Fighter Near Syria Border (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    If the US was kicked out of Iraq, then why did Obama run around for two years giving dozens and dozens of speeches taking credit for withdrawing US soldiers? It should be noted as well that he boasted on more than one occasion, that we were leaving behind a stable functioning democracy.

    Israel has a secular government, idiot. It doesn't belong on your list of eevil troublemakers.

  23. Re:Because the question is stupid! on FAA To Drone Owners: Get Ready To Register To Fly (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh. OK. Then I guess the FAA could regulate baseballs, frisbees, spitwads, polevaulting, and falcons. Plus it could regulate what people are allowed to say and pray while flying. Just because it has the pwoer to regulate, doesn't mean it has absolute power to regulate. It still is required to obey the supreme law of the United States.

  24. Re:Because the question is stupid! on FAA To Drone Owners: Get Ready To Register To Fly (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure. But that doesn't give it the authority to exercise powers not granted to it.

  25. Re:Because the question is stupid! on FAA To Drone Owners: Get Ready To Register To Fly (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    The authority to enact and enforce laws is granted by the enumerated powers of the Constitution.Those are the only powers granted to the federal government by the people. The FAA doesn't have the power to create laws, only enforce them. Ignorance is on full display here.
