  1. Re:For years on The Math of Leap Days · · Score: 2

    The slashdot editors were probably just reading an alien cookbook and got confused.

  2. Re:Lets use the Myan Calendar on The Math of Leap Days · · Score: 1

    I give up. What did they invent numbers for?

    Nice sig, btw.

  3. Re:I'll just on Rearview Car Cameras Likely Mandated By 2014 · · Score: 0

    And, miraculously, I've never run over a child, Oompa Loompa, penguin, or anything else for that mattter.

  4. I'll just on Rearview Car Cameras Likely Mandated By 2014 · · Score: 1

    hook up a non-functioning camera to the rear of my Jeep. I can see out the back just fine, and unless they make a waterproof screen to mount on my dashboard, it won't last too long anyway.

  5. Re:Large Concerts on How To Sneak In To a Security Conference · · Score: 1

    Badges?

    We don't need no stinkin' badges!

  6. Re:Just what I would want.... not on Siri To Power Mercedes-Benz Car Systems · · Score: 1

    I have enough lock-in in my life already!

    Married too, huh?

  7. "Observers expected a maximum of one more Symbian" on Nokia Puts 41MPixel Camera In a (Symbian) Phone · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't they expect a mazimum?

  8. Reading is hard on Spanish Company Tests 'Right To Be Forgotten' Against Google · · Score: 1

    Yes.

  9. Re:The rich are not without the need for morals on Are Rich People Less Moral? · · Score: 1

    I may read it at that; I do read a lot of anthropology. I would hope that comparison is fair though. Do both include combat, as in war-time deaths? I don't doubt tribe on tribe violence was bad, it's just that our modern forms of warfare are probably just as lethal if not more so.

  10. Re:The rich are not without the need for morals on Are Rich People Less Moral? · · Score: 1

    I'm not convinced about the "ever in human existence" part. Primitive hunter gather tribes were probably very peaceful, since everyone knows everyone. Arguments, fights, displays of manhood, etc yes but high murder rates? I'd like some evidence to back that up.

  11. Re:Meanwhile... on Mozilla Partners Up With LG To Combat Apple and Google · · Score: 1

    And RIM is watching Windows Phone 7 through binoculars from 2 miles away.

  12. Re:Trauma on Submitting "Nuking the Fridge" To Scientific Peer Review · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think Indiana Jones was only immortal while he was in that temple. In the Young Indiana Jones serial in the '80s, he was depicted with...OMG I'm such a dork.

  13. Re:i am glad this does not concern me on Almost a Million UK Homes Will Suffer 4G TV interference · · Score: 1

    Awesome. Please let us know all articles that do not pertain to you. Do you have a newsletter to which I can subscribe?

  14. Re:OT: Redundancies on Almost a Million UK Homes Will Suffer 4G TV interference · · Score: 1

    And the La Brea Tar Pits.

  15. Re:It's like catching a bullet on Swiss To Build Orbital Cleaning Satellite · · Score: 1

    How do you manage to catch a baseball when the earth is orbiting so fast, the solar system is moving through the galaxy so fast, the galaxy is moving so fast, the universe is expanding, etc?

  16. Re:Wau...wait a tick... on A Paper Alloy To Replace Plastic Cases · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And let's not forget we have more forest here in north america

    More than what? North America has less than 9% of the original old growth forest it had before mankind landed here. And the land being used for lumber and pulping is being degraded, so that they have to move on to other forest areas over time. Heaven forbid someone point out the dangerous and destructive practices that are destroying our world at an alarming and increasing rate. Let's just call them a special interest group and keep plowing on.

  17. Re:"Anonymous" is a fake on Did Anonymous Take Down CIA.gov? · · Score: 1

    I think you've confused reality with the plot of 1984. We actually do have enemies and threats, though I do not personally categorize Anonymous that way.

  18. Re:Thank heavens on EU and US Approve Google-Motorola Deal · · Score: 2

    I'm skeptical Apple will stop its lawsuits. Samsung has plenty of patents, and yet they go back and forth. I'm with on the hardware part. I'd love to see Google/Moto fight it out with Apple with some kickass tablets and phones running Jelly Bean or Krispy Kreme, or whatever those letters end up being.

  19. Frist Ps0T from Envada on FCC Maps the 3G Wasteland Of the Western US · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sorry, took a while to get a signal.

  20. Re:I swear to God on Tesla Reveals Its Model X Gullwing SUV · · Score: 1

    Chotchkie's.

  21. Re:31 What?! on Replacing the World's Largest IMAX Screen · · Score: 0

    Yeah, I did a double-take on that one too. Thought it said naggers. God, I hate naggers.

  22. Re:Damn... on Engelbart's Keyboard Available For Touchscreens · · Score: 1

    The part about misspelling 2 words in one sentence right after you said you were good at typing. Or are predit and confort just words I've never heard of?

  23. Re:Damn... on Engelbart's Keyboard Available For Touchscreens · · Score: 1

    Swiftkey's ability to predit "awsqhyhuqi" as "confort" is astounding (:

    Was that supposed to be funny? Or are you just not as good at typing as you thought?

  24. Re:Swords on Jedi Master's Hand-Made Lightsaber Stolen · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Bosch, I've flown one one side of the galaxy to the other and I've never seen anything that led me to believe there's some all powerful force controlling everything. It's all a bunch of simple tricks and nonsense.

  25. Re:Registration Now! on Jedi Master's Hand-Made Lightsaber Stolen · · Score: 2

    When the Jedi are outlawed, only outlaw Jedis will have lightsabers.
