  1. Re:Even higher! on Seattle Approves $15 Per Hour Minimum Wage · · Score: 1

    Surely no true Scotsman would ever endorse minimum wage!

  2. Re:Minesweeper on Study: Video Gamer Aggression Result of Game Experience, Not Violent Content · · Score: 1

    Then you will wake up into a world where unethical experiments are all the rage.

    I see what you did there.

  3. Re:Elastic Search on Ask Slashdot: Which NoSQL Database For New Project? · · Score: 1

    I second this. Easy to set up, easy to use.

  4. Re:Carpal tunnel prevention break on Ask Slashdot: Really Short Time Wasters? · · Score: 1

    I've had success using Sharon Butlers book 'Conquering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome' and using ergonomically correct tools (split keyboard, upright mouse) .
    Also, a daily session of Intu-Flow works wonders. There's a completely sufficient 'level 1' video series on youtube. Scott Sonnon sometimes comes across as a little....I dunno .... spooky... esoteric...whatever, but this stuff is simple, fun and works.
    Do something, you don't want your pain to become chronic, trust me on this.

  5. Re:Pop Corn on German Laser Destroys Targets More Than 1Km Away · · Score: 1

    If the target were actually a mortar shell, you don't need to vaporize the entire shell and its contents, you merely need to get the laser to access the gooey center of the high-explosive tootsie-pop.

    You weapon-nerds with your technical mumbo-jumbo....

  6. Re:Why would they stop developing weaponry? on North Korea Launches Long-Range Rocket · · Score: 1

    And watch while their overseas colonies get destroyed? Seriously, I think China may have to much ownership in US treasures etc to let that happen.

  7. Re:Have you ever witnessed an icebreaker? on Russia Builds World's Largest Nuclear Powered Ice-Breaker · · Score: 1

    That sounds more like infrasound than ultrasound to me.

  8. Re:Illegal ?? Unethical ?? on Russia's Former KGB Invests In Political Propaganda Spambots · · Score: 5, Funny

    That sounds like something a KGB bot would say!

  9. Re:THIS IS NOT NEWS! on The Worst Apple Store In America — An Employee Confession · · Score: 2

    Is it? I've run businesses and if I know one thing about infidelity insurance it's this: they will not pay out if they can show that you saw it coming.

    That sounds suspiciously like you two are agreeing.

  10. Re:Destructive experimentation on Texas Scientists Regret Loss of Higgs Boson Quest · · Score: 1

    Great post! Only thing missing is a car analogy!

  11. Re:Reel to reels as well on Return of the Vacuum Tube · · Score: 2

    A tube amp alone won't do much. You also have to have a nice cabinet. And a good microphone. And know where to place it. And have some space where you can really turn it up, so the tubes go into overdrive.
    With a Line6 pod, you go directly into the console and that's it.

  12. Re:It's now a free for all for all file fomats! Ye on EU Court Rules APIs, Programming Languages Not Copyrightable · · Score: 1

    Actually I keep seeing more and more of that around here. Hartz IV may work less badly than other systems, but it does have its problems. Also, once you're homeless, good luck in getting Hartz IV.

  13. Re:Google did not develop Android to be open sourc on Schmidt Testifies Android Did Not Use Sun's IP · · Score: 1

    sssssshhhh don't say his name! it's like boogeyman, only apk is real. DAMN!

  14. Re:Screen on NHTSA Suggestion Would Cripple In-Car GPS Displays · · Score: 1

    We had a small tour bus (band) with an integrated XBox. Try driving while a bunch of guys behind you are screaming 'break! break! left! Nooooooo! Attention!', because they're playing a racing game. If you ever need a nice bus in Germany, check out http://www.tourbusse.de/ (just a happy customer)

  15. Re:Dr. Fuhrman Cures Type 2 Diabetes... on 'IMAX Movie of Body' Allows Stanford Geneticist To Stop Diabetes In Its Tracks · · Score: 1

    'we have a simple, easy cure for X but BIG PHARMA suppresses us' is a common line found in pseudo-medicine circles. I still think that healthy nutrition and proper exercise is a good idea, I'm just saying 'we are being oppressed' triggers many alarms.

  16. Re:Sucks to be you! on How Do I Get Back a Passion For Programming? · · Score: 1

    That's not scrum, that's torture.

  17. Re:What liberty? on US Military Moving Closer To Automated Killing · · Score: 1

    And it has worked...how many terrorist attacks have there been on US soil in the past decade?

    Since I started wearing an onion on my belt, my computer has not had any infections. It works!

  18. Re:true on Stuxnet Authors Made Key Errors · · Score: 1

    I really can't decide if you're batshit insane or if it's a parody. Seriously.
    Damn you, Poe, and your law.

    ACK

  20. Re:More allergenic? on Scientists Advocate Replacing Cattle With Insects · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "They" are not just starting, "they" have been doing it for quite a while, at least here in Germany. I remember having a very interesting class on that subject back in high-school (14 years ago)
    'If those guys over there can't handle the environment, then it's our right, no, our duty to invade them and make them care'. Luckily enough, not many people are paying attention to them.
    And the vast majority of ecological minded people are still deeply rooted in democracy.
    Please be careful not to lump them all together.

  21. Re:I wonder who they forgot to bribe? on Google Broke the Law, Say South Korean Police · · Score: 1

    That's OBVIOUSLY only because they're being drowned-out. And now pass the bong, please.

  22. Re:I wonder who they forgot to bribe? on Google Broke the Law, Say South Korean Police · · Score: 1

    I don't have a solution handy, sorry. I was just trying to point out that the 'current Law of the Republic' is not really better than the scenario the parent poster was painting.

    Right now your voice is being drowned-out by a minority with money.
