  1. The Hulk! on Ultra-Powerful Laser To Be Built In Romania · · Score: 1

    I think a Romanian Hulk reboot is exactly what Hollywood needs right now.

  2. penis check on The Tricky Science of Olympic Gender Testing · · Score: -1

    They could just check to see if they have a penis.

  3. Movies? on Australian Billionaire Wants To Build Jurassic Park-Style Resort · · Score: 1

    Has this guy ever seen a movie, ever?

  4. Smiling? on Giant Mech Robots From Japan · · Score: 5, Funny

    How are you supposed to stop smiling when you are mowing down your enemies?

  5. Friends on Ron Paul's New Primary Goal Is "Internet Freedom" · · Score: 1

    Ron Paul is now our friend... for now.

  6. No way on Ask Slashdot: How Best To Teach Programming To Salespeople? · · Score: 2

    Give up now, it is impossible.

  7. Re:Google-like work environment on Ore-Sniffing Dogs Rediscovered By Mining Industry · · Score: 1

    The dogs better get unlimited burritos and beer too.

  8. Tea on From MIT Inventor To Tea Party Leader · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now known as 'MITea'.

  9. Gamma Rays on Japanese Researchers Transmit 3Gbps Using Terahertz Frequencies · · Score: 5, Funny

    How soon will it be until Japan begins transmitting gamma rays?

  10. Smells like money on Bethesda Announces Elder Scrolls MMO · · Score: 1

    Established IP + $$$ = $$$?

  11. old people don't know anything about computers on IBM Offers Retirement With Job Guarantee Through 2013 · · Score: -1

    Honestly I am surprised that IBM holds on to employees that are nearing retirement age at all.

  12. Prayer and Thought on Santorum Suspends Presidential Campaign · · Score: 1

    Thought is a first for Santorum. Hell, he might even have won my vote if he kept that up.

  13. Nothing. on AOL Patent Deal Means Microsoft Now Holds Vestiges of Netscape · · Score: 5, Informative

    Nothing.

  14. Renaissance? on Will Kickstarter Launch a Gaming Renaissance? · · Score: 1

    The term 'renaissance' connotates the exploration of new ideas. None of these projects are exploring new ideas, they are all sequels to established games or franchises.

  15. My goodness on MPAA Chief Dodd Hints At Talks To Revive SOPA · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What motivates this man to be so evil?

  16. Don't talk to anybody on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Tips For Working From Home? · · Score: 1

    Do not use any form of instant messaging. Do not use Facebook. If you really need to ask someone a technical question, join a pertinent IRC channel and leave as soon as you are satisfied. You might have the motivation to work from home, but do not expect other people to understand. It was very difficult getting my wife to understand that I really needed to work and I didn't have any time to talk; if you have family who will be around, you will need to lay down rules and boundaries. The most important aspect of working from home is enjoying what you do. If you don't feel motivated to work, then you are fucked.

  17. Three other to-be-announced companies on NVIDIA Is Joining the Linux Foundation · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hedging my bets on Apple, Microsoft and McDonalds.

  18. This sounds just as effective as... on Japan Creates Earthquake-Proof Levitating House System · · Score: 1

    ...that house in the Simpsons that sprouts legs and attempts to run away, before keeling over and bursting into flames.

  19. Understandable on Sony Raises Price of Whitney Houston's Music 30 Minutes After Death · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If I was a major shareholder at Sony, I would have done the exact same thing. And you would have too. I don't know what the big deal is about.

  20. Uniquely? on Philatelists Push Petition For Pluto Probe Postage · · Score: 1

    "...the uniquely human drive to explore." There is absolutely nothing unique about this. A great deal of the animal life that exists spends the majority of their time doing what could be interpreted exploring. From ants foraging for food to monkeys waving their arms running around in the jungle, nearly every animal explores. It is a fundamental behavior to many forms of life. Humans are actually much less likely to explore than other animals, since we live in dwellings with monotonously repetitive lives on a planet that we have mapped in its entirety. Either the writer of this sentence either hadn't thought about this, or they were using a thesaurus to inject their dribble with more interesting words.

  21. Of course on Carbon Emissions 'Will Defer Ice Age' · · Score: 1

    It makes sense to me that by melting all ice, carbon emissions would prevent the occurrence of an ice 'age'.

  22. It IS helpful! on 88-Year-Old Inventor Hassled By the DEA · · Score: 4, Funny

    Methamphetamine actually is useful to hikers and flood victims!

  23. Re:Military Service on South Korea Blocks Late-Night Online Gaming for Adolescents · · Score: 1

    Nah I'm having too much fun playing Starcraft.

  24. Military Service on South Korea Blocks Late-Night Online Gaming for Adolescents · · Score: 3, Informative

    Honestly, this will have an even greater effect than people are imagining at the moment. All males must service mandatory military service after high school, so they will probably have to wait a while longer to play games after midnight than people are thinking. This is all just a conspiracy by older people to make younger people not have any fun.

  25. Useless on Doom 3 Source Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Doom 3's shadowing technology is what made it stand out at the time. What good is yet another FPS engine being released open source when its distinguishing feature is removed?
