  1. My Body, My Choice, right? on Police Pull Over More Drivers For DNA Tests · · Score: 1

    If people were intimidated into giving their info unwillingly, yeah that's bad. But the sense I get from a lot of these comments is that people should not be free to sell it for an agreed price at all. Seller beware, for sure, but either "I'm a consenting adult; I can make my own choices!" is true or it's not. Make up your mind.

  2. Re:Isn't it ironic on NSA Scraping Buddy Lists and Address Books From Live Internet Traffic · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm a Canadian, but I support the NSA, and the job it does to protect American (and indirectly) Canadian interests.

    "But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."

  3. Organized Science is an Opiate for the Masses on Upper Limit On Emissions Likely To Be Exceeded Within Decades · · Score: 1

    There. I said it.

  4. Time to Trim a Branch on Obama Admin Says It Won't Fight Looser Marijuana Laws, With Conditions · · Score: 1

    Executive Orders + Selective Enforcement => Congress is not needed at all

  5. Re:Hey on Pastafarian Wins Battle To Wear Colander In License Photo · · Score: 2

    Truth is personal.

    Is that just your personal truth?

  6. Re:Hey on Pastafarian Wins Battle To Wear Colander In License Photo · · Score: 1

    The irony here is that, by calling the agnostic the "normal" person, you're saying that the Christian and the atheist are abnormal (=wrong). You're just as dedicated to your beliefs (or lack of) as they are to theirs.

  7. What scandals, Mr. President? on Obama on Surveillance: "We Can and Must Be More Transparent" · · Score: 1

    You've been saying all this time that they were "phoney scandals".

  8. Re:Optimism on Why You Shouldn't Trust Internet Comments · · Score: 1

    Welcome, American time traveler from December 2008. Sorry to burst your bubble ...

  9. The Chicago Cubs are a metaphor for America on DEA Program "More Troubling" Than NSA · · Score: 1

    Maybe next President.

  10. "Don't be suspicious of your fellow Americans" on Most Americans Think Courts Are Failing To Limit Government Surveillance · · Score: 4, Insightful

    .. said the head of the NSA, TSA, and IRS. "After all, Trayvon could have been me."

  11. Obama: "Don't be suspicious of your neighbors" on Feds Allegedly Demanding User Passwords From Services · · Score: 1

    Wasn't that the whole point of the "Trayvon could have been me" thing? Obama clearly took the "Zimmerman shouldn't have been suspicious" narrative, and all the while he's the head of the NSA, TSA, etc. Why has nobody called him out on this???

  12. If we really believe in utilitarianism, on Researchers Crown Buddhist Monk the World's Happiest Man · · Score: 1

    then we must find out how this guy makes these gamma waves — those linked to consciousness, attention, learning and memory — never before reported in neuroscience, and all that left pre-frontal cortex activity and force everyone to do that. And somebody needs to change Wikipedia's definition to "Utilitarianism is a theory in normative ethics holding that the proper course of action is the one that maximizes overall left pre-frontal cortex activity."

  13. MS can claim Prior "Art" on Designers Criticize Apple's User Interface For OS X and iOS · · Score: 2

    Remember Microsoft Bob?

  14. Re:Text book sales..... on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Implications of Finding the Higgs Boson? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget all new homework problems with each edition (maybe each printing?). That ensures that the students buy the approved copy from the publisher instead of last semester's edition from the used bookstore just off campus.

  15. An additional rule might be in order on Robot Hand Beats You At Rock, Paper, Scissors 100% of the Time · · Score: 1

    1. Rock crushes scissors 2. Scissors cut paper 3. Paper covers rock 4. Human smashes robot

  16. Re:Heard it before on Thou Shalt Not View The Super Bowl on a 56" Screen · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing the reason is that churches turn off the commercials and bars do not.
