  1. Re:Murder? on Man Killed By His Own Radio-Controlled Helicopter In Brooklyn · · Score: 1

    That's pretty paranoid, but who knows? Maybe if he wore a tinfoil hat, he'd still be alive.

  2. Re:Natural Selection at Work on Man Killed By His Own Radio-Controlled Helicopter In Brooklyn · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, I agree this very unsafe behavior for at least one reason, just off the top of my head.

  3. Re:Seriously America? on Drone Hunters Lining Up and Paying Out In Colorado · · Score: 1

    Surely you guys can be more creative - EMP, Deathray.

    Yes, truly a deathray would be much less violent than a gun.

  4. Re:Hmmm ... on Qcloud Puts Quantum Chip In the Cloud For Coders To Experiment · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oblig: yes and no.

  5. Re:Gattica on NIH Studies Universal Genome Sequencing At Birth · · Score: 2

    No "I" for obvious reasons if you've seen the film

    Or know anything about DNA.

    If you're going to accuse someone of not doing something, you're supposed to read the post first, jackwagon!

    Man, you should see the bass guitarist. She's a smoking hot plutonium blonde.

    Obviously it wasn't obvious, or Dcnjoe60 wouldn't have made that comment!

  9. Re:From what they know about me... on What Marketers Think They Know About You and What They Really Do · · Score: 1

    They know way less about me. Most pages say they know nothing. I'm the happiest since...since...since I switched from Windows!

  10. Re:Pegged as a Windows user!? on What Marketers Think They Know About You and What They Really Do · · Score: 1

    Who's scruffy looking?

  12. Re:Isn't this what you would expect from a Creator on Genetic Convergent Evolution: Stunning Gene Similarities Among Diverse Animals · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Then the evidence is overwhelmingly pointing to no creator. The genes that code for intelligence in corvid birds and chimpanzees are different. The genes that code for wings in birds, bats, insects, and pterasaurs are completely different. The genes that code for white fur and similar looking white filaments in plants are way off. Wouldn't a creator just reuse white fur on cotton plants? The genetic diversity across the seven kingdoms and the millions of species is vast, with genetic convergence the extremely rare exception, not the rule (hence why this is newsworthy). Sorry, your own argument points to there being no creator.

  13. Re:Very little utility here on NSA-resistant Android App 'Burns' Sensitive Messages · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The mobile provider would only have encrypted messages, and the only way to decrpypt woulf be brute force or getting the keys on your device. I'm no expert though; I just read TFA.

  14. Re:Sorry.. on Xbox One Set To Launch On November 22 · · Score: 1

    Well, it's a good thing you went with a company that really respects its customers and developers, like Sony.

    Fraud! Charlatan! Senator! Cad!

    Senator? Really? That's uncalled for.

  16. Re:How much RAM? on Tiny $45 Cubic Mini-PC Supports Android and Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's a tough choice between the 1GB and 1GB.

    Everyone knows ketchup is a vegetable

  18. Re:Alphabet on Android 4.4 Named 'KitKat' · · Score: 2

    I seem to remember reading that the first versions were before Google bought it, and Google switched to dessert themes.

  19. Do I lack reading comprehensiosn skills? on At Current Rates, Tesla Could Soon Suck Up Worldwide Supply of Li-Ion Cells · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So if Tesla doubles production, it would consume the entire world's production of li-ion cells. So the measly 21k cars Tesla produces use half of the world's production already? Maybe I can't read and/or do math though.

  20. Re:"Java" and "lightweight" in one sentence... on Murdoch's AP Computer Science MOOC Goes Live · · Score: 1

    It's today's doublespeak. Rather than freedom is slavery etc, we get:

    1. Slashdot is news for nerds
    2. Java is lightweight
    3. ...
    4. Profit!

  21. Re:slow news day on We All May Have a Little Martian In Us · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Um, it does say "new research" in the first sentence of both TFS and TFA. True, we have not yet set foot on Mars. But are suggesting this means there is NO EVIDENCE from Mars? Besides which, if a rock matches the chemical composition from our nearest neighbor, it kind of narrows things down. Maybe these scientists know a thing or two about what they're doing.

  22. Re:slow news day on We All May Have a Little Martian In Us · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yes, let us never speak of this again, regardless of whatever new evidence is found! Evar!

    Reading is hard. It does say "100-to-1 dark horse" in TFS.

    Gahh! I hated that episode! It made even less sense than usual, which is really saying something.
