  1. Re:How long before the first... on Magnetic Field Reversals Unlikely To Be a Problem For Life, Says Astronomer (arxiv.org) · · Score: 2

    There were five paths going away from a cairn...

    They are all alike. A wight eyes you and sings in an ancient language, possibly about lunch.

  2. So, Schrödinger's Dyson sphere?

  3. Re:In other news today... on Caltech Astronomers Discover Oldest Galaxy Yet Known · · Score: 1

    Thanks for that. You just made my day.

  4. Retrieves Popcorn... on NASA Mulls Missions To Neptune and Uranus, Using the Space Launch System · · Score: 2

    This is gonna be awesome.

  5. Re: Science... Yah! on Science's Biggest Failure: Everything About Diet and Fitness · · Score: 1

    Wasn't that Herb? Loved that show.

  6. ...and people will buy it anyway. on Microsoft Confirms Xbox One's Phone Home Requirement, Game Resale Rules · · Score: 2

    They will buy them as fast as Microsoft can make them. No matter what Microsoft does, people will buy it. Look at Win8 for proof -- it's not selling well, but it's still selling. And both the XBox One and Win8 will be the only game in Microsoft Town soon enough.

  7. Obligatory Nelson... on Hollywood Studios Fuming Over Indie Studio Deal With BitTorrent · · Score: 1, Funny

    Ha ha.

  8. Re:Probabilistic distro on Fedora 19 Alpha Released · · Score: 2

    That was awesome. But not until I read it.

  9. Re:And the Linux naming experts strike again on Interview With Icculus on GNU/Linux Gaming · · Score: 1

    It's all fine and dandy unless you want to add something fundamental and then a million angry server monkeys appear and throw poo. Unless the culture changes Linux will forever be relegated to server and appliance roles.

    Beyond funny and spot on. Wish I had mod points.

  10. Re:There goes another "feature" on Boeing 787 Makes US Debut · · Score: 1

    There is a knob just under the window. You can "undim" them. Don't panic.

  11. Re:Why does this matter? on Fisker Hybrids Get Bad Karma From Superstorm Sandy · · Score: 1

    If someone gets into high water? The water sucks enough, but then you catch on fire...

  12. Re:Gravity.... on Ask Slashdot: What Stands In the Way of a Truly Solar-Powered Airliner? · · Score: 1

    yes.

  13. Re:The Templeton Foundation on Astronomers Search For Dyson Spheres of Alien Civilizations · · Score: 1

    Damn. I wish I had mod points.

  14. Re:Statistics anyone ? on Kepler Spots "Perfectly Aligned" Alien Worlds · · Score: 1

    Science by press release.

  15. Re:Probably Not on Ask Slashdot: Is It Time For SyFy To Go Premium? · · Score: 1

    I've got a few more than 3 or 4 shows I like to watch, but I agree with the rest. I have no idea when the shows I watch are actually on, but all that is completely overshadowed by the pleasure of sitting down to find a new episode of Warehouse 13, Eureka, Haven, Good Eats, etc. sitting on the DVR.

  16. Re:Probably Not on Ask Slashdot: Is It Time For SyFy To Go Premium? · · Score: 1

    Totally agree. Well put, sir.

  17. Re:Moodle lacks innovation. on Moodle 1.9 For Second Language Teaching · · Score: 1

    What would you recommend to replace it? Seriously, my company uses Moodle for our CE needs and I've about had it with it. There hasn't been singular event to make me feel this way. It's been more of a "death by a thousand cuts" type of affair. But the price is right...

  18. Re:What the hell? on High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover · · Score: 1

    Hell yeah! Coke and Dr. Pepper taste terrible now that corn syrup has been added in. I miss good Dr. Pepper.

  19. Re:Sure, here you go on Inertial Mass Separate From Gravitational Mass? · · Score: 1

    On his page it says something about "Longer-Duration Microgravity Environments produced by GCCs". I told all of you gcc sucks, even if it is just a little bit.

  20. Re:Sigh...not this shit again on iPad Jailbroken · · Score: 1

    Damn. No mod points.

    Somebody please mod this man up!

  21. Re:And what exactly IS hardcore? on Nintendo and the Decline of Hardcore Gaming · · Score: 1

    Hehe. That exact same thing happened to me.

    I got so mad I tossed the wheel and had to go for a walk (it *does* fly well). Now when I crank up MK my kids come pat me on the shoulder and tell me "don't get mad, it's going to be OK". It's incredible that a game can get you that upset.

    I hate blue shells.

  22. Well, crap. on How To Create More Jobs · · Score: 1

    I thought this was a cloning article.

  23. Re:a warning label would have saved them money on Nintendo Slapped With Wiimote Strap Lawsuit Once Again · · Score: 1

    It's always been there.

  24. Re:blah blah blah on AMD Banks On Flood of Stream Apps · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up!

  25. Re:Can't wait to see... on NASA Developing Small Nuclear Reactor For the Moon · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Heinlein has written about a scenario much like this.
    See: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
    You knew that.
