  1. Re:Needing a degree? on Go To Uni, Earn a Degree In Drones · · Score: 1

    Surely it doesn't require a degree to become a drone pilot - just an enthusiasm for video games and a morality bypass?

    An actual fear of flying couldn't hurt either (you know, on a plane). :p

  2. Re:Just admit you dont know and get over it on Manga Girls Beware: Extra Large Eyes Caused Neanderthal's Demise · · Score: 2

    It amazes me that comments like this, with so little data to make such a conjecture, can be taken seriously by people who scoff at religion.

    We can't scoff at both?? :)

    Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca (Seneca the Younger), ca. 4 BC - 65 AD

    I thought "they were the first ones against the wall when the Revolution came." :p

  4. Re:That's his right on Seattle Bar Owner Bans Google Glass, In Advance · · Score: 1

    And it's my right to take my business elsewhere.

    Not just your business; also that slew of recording devices that you'll no doubt be dragging along with you everywhere you go. Good riddance to both you and the "future viewership" you represent. Don't let the fucking door hit you on the way out! :)

  5. Re:I used to block ads on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 5, Funny

    Your cost of living is 9% to 12% higher because of Marketing. I think that if we took the money spent on ads and gave it to content creators instead, we would have more and better quality content.

    Not to mention all the marketing and advertising people starving to death (which surely solves a few additional problems). :)

  6. Re:It's still smart to look clean... on Court: 4th Amendment Applies At Border, Password Protected Files Not Suspicious · · Score: 5, Funny

    Never underestimate the bandwidth of a dude with a belly full of micro sd cards?

    How about "that's a shitload of storage?"

  7. Re:It's the bonus that concerns me on Moon Mining Race Under Way · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or wouldn't the striking, starkly-defined, austere beauty of the lunar landscape look a whole lot more attractive without that shit just sitting there? (Footprints... isn't that what rakes are for?) :p

  8. Re:Hey, wait a sec... on Clues of Life's Origins Found In Galactic Cloud · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm on one of the graduate students on this project!

    I trust it's consensual? :p

  9. Better there... on Russians Find "New Bacteria" In Lake Vostok · · Score: 0

    Russian scientists believe they have found a new type of bacteria in the sub-glacial Lake Vostok.

    Better there than in a pap smear, I always say.

  10. My question is... on Hockey Sticks Among Carry-On Items TSA Has Cleared For Planes · · Score: 1

    My question is... will passengers be allowed to carry one of these on board.

  11. Re:The enemy of my enemy on Rand Paul Launches a Filibuster Against Drone Strikes On US Soil · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that if I was shooting up a mall, the police should kill me if they can't reasonably stop me?

    Have you been to a mall in the past twenty years?? It seems to me that the cops should stop everything they're doing and help you...

  12. Re:It's never too late... on Ask Slashdot: Advice For Summer Before Ph.D. Program? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Let me guess: modded-down by a Bard or Simon's Rock grad (or similar ilk) and they're blaming me. It's not my fault that their parents paid too much for their tuition and the school didn't even have the decency to throw in a free "K through 8th" refresher class. :p

  13. Re:The enemy of my enemy on Rand Paul Launches a Filibuster Against Drone Strikes On US Soil · · Score: 1

    And you, sir (or madam; I shouldn't make gender-based presumptions... though, this being slashdot, if you are female, I'm not going to rule out the presence of a neckbeard *snicker*) are equally correct. Scary, though, isn't it - I swear these mouthbreathers outnumber the ones with actual brainwave activity at least ten to one...

  14. It's never too late... on Ask Slashdot: Advice For Summer Before Ph.D. Program? · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm a graduating senior from a small New England liberal arts college, and have secured a spot in a Biological Science Ph.D. program for the next five years.

    It's never too late to go back to middle school; hopefully, this time they can teach you that commas don't go before "and." :p

  15. Re:The enemy of my enemy on Rand Paul Launches a Filibuster Against Drone Strikes On US Soil · · Score: 2

    I've come to realize that American politics isn't about policies at all. It's tribalism.

    I wish we were so lucky. In reality, you've fallen for what's nothing more than a fucking puppet show; all of these slimebags on both sides of the aisle work owe their allegiance to the same shady special interests.

    From there to Jane Fonda. I didn't realize she was such a national treasure.

    You obviously haven't seen Barbarella.

    Neither have I. :p

  17. Re:Not Cheaper on ISP Trying Free (But Limited) Home Broadband Plan · · Score: 1

    It's like paying to take your anorexic girlfriend to the world's most expensive all you can eat seafood buffet.

    On the other hand, if she's bulimic, there's a good chance she could really eat your money's worth... :p

  18. Re:Exaggerations on Tesla Motors Loses Appeal Against BBC's Top Gear · · Score: 1

    That makes it a no-go for track enthusiasts, precisely the crowd it could appeal to.

    That is decidely not the crowd that the Roadster is marketed towards.

    I think you're more confused than you realize. ;)

  19. Re:Politics, still they don't get it on Shooting Yourself In the Foot, 21st Century Style · · Score: 1

    If a detergent commercial would include lies of such magnitude, they'd be banned from tv.

    Perhaps but not for much longer, the way things seem to be headed...

  20. Re:Legacy on Why Can't Intel Kill x86? · · Score: 1

    You can come up with a superior platform for 64 bit processing (Itanium)

    Or a greatly inferior one (Itanium). :p

  21. How surreal... on New Research Sheds Light On the Evolution of Dogs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Finally when times were tough, dogs could have served as an emergency food supply and once humans realized the usefulness of keeping dogs as emergency food, it was not a huge jump to realize plants could be used in a similar way.'

    Consider the venus flytrap: an excellent "guard plant" for defending your lair at night... and when you're thirsty, simply throw it in the juicer." (Maybe they'll even determine that once primitive man discovered how useful oxygen could be for fire, it wasn't a huge jump to realize that it could be inhaled as well...)
