  1. Re:Software upgrades.... on Upgrading Software From 350 Million Miles Away · · Score: 2

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

  2. Re:Why? on US Missile Defense Staff Told To Stop Watching Porn · · Score: 1

    Repeat after me: If it's a bit.ly or tinyurl link it's either a trojan or Goatse. (Or if you're really lucky it's only a Rickroll)

  3. Re:Why? on US Missile Defense Staff Told To Stop Watching Porn · · Score: 1

    So these people spend their entire work life sitting around waiting, and when finally the emergency arrives, they simultaneously turn their keys and actively participate in ending life on Earth once and for all...

    Suicide seems like an honorable alternative to a life so thouroughly wasted.

  4. Re:Hooray for Globalization on Managing Human Workers With an Algorithm · · Score: 1

    The same arguments were put forward to explain why there were bread lines in the Soviet Union. (This isn't paradise because this isn't real Marxism comrade!)

    Odd to see that two sides seemingly opposed use the same excuse to defend their broken system of choice.

  5. Re:How much does it cost? Who's paying for it? on Two More HIV Patients Now Virus-Free Thanks To Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 1

    Of course. According to Jehova's Witnesses, blood transfusions are the work of the devil.

  6. Re:Only suit fabric protecting crew from hard vacu on NASA's First New Spacesuit In 20 Years Is Its Own Airlock · · Score: 4, Informative

    The atmosphere inside was pure oxygen at 0.2 bar, allowing the walls of the LEM to be very thin. Still, more like an oil drum than like tinfoil.

  7. Re:Douglas Adams would be happy. on USB 3.0 100W Power Standard Seeks To End Proprietary Chargers · · Score: 1

    Sadly the little dongly things won that war.

  8. Re:Right on Trolling Al Qaeda... For Peace? · · Score: 1
  9. Re:First Thetan! on Church of Scientology Enlisting Followers In Censorship · · Score: 1

    Not agreeing with the designation of "church" does not automatically imply animosity. Believing that CoS is a homicidal mind control cult does imply animosity. That I happen to hold both views simultaneously is probably just a coincidence.

  10. Re:Net Nanny on Ask Slashdot: Good Low Cost Free Software For Protecting Kids Online? · · Score: 2

    and to conform physically to some very narrow gender stereotypes.

    All this proves is that the world needs more tranny porn.

  11. An uneven surface? on New Film Renders Screen Reflection Almost Non-Existent · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The key to the low reflectance is the formation of an uneven surface, which consists of both concave and convex structures (tiny bumps) that cover the entire film.

    From that description it sounds like Sony has reinvented screens with matte finish. Surely there is more to this.

  12. Re:Finally on A Faster Jigsaw Solving Algorithm · · Score: 2

    I can see a practical application.

    Hint: In the future, don't shred your sensitive documents. Burn them instead.

  13. Re:Alien on board on New Signs Voyager Is Nearing Interstellar Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah that's just silly. The guys on the Voyager are too old and out of touch to have a twitter account.

  14. Re:Troll is in the eye of the beholder on House of Commons Could Force Social Networks To Identify Trolls · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes. Trolling is a art.

  15. Re:Terrorist tool? on London Tube Stations Finally Get Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Thanks mate, I'm good.

  16. Re:Thought so. on Ask Slashdot: Teaching Chemistry To Home-Schooled Kids? · · Score: 1

    This is limited to the kids you know. Don't you think that there is a selection bias at work there?

  17. Re:I suspect it's more to do with on The Link Between Genius and Insanity · · Score: 1

    there was no esoteric complex lexicon of the specialist around for him...

    Newton was an accomplished alchemist. Have you ever READ the stuff they read? They pretty much defined the word esoteric since the early Middle Ages.

  18. Re:This just in... on The Link Between Genius and Insanity · · Score: 2

    A permanent fix for the depression or for the genius?

  19. Re:Are you guys stupid or something? on No Intelligent Aliens Detected In Gliese 581 · · Score: 1

    Somebody in this thread needs a hug,
    or reading glasses.

  20. Re:Really? on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 1

    Everything.

  21. Re:Whatever would we do if... on Soda Ban May Hit the Big Apple · · Score: 1

    I'd buy a strong umbrella. Those flying pigs are lethal.

  22. Re:Libertarians wouldn't do this to you on Soda Ban May Hit the Big Apple · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't you mean:
    When a libertarian wants to do something, he posts about it on Slashdot.
    When a liberal wants to do something, the Libertarian quotes Ron Paul.
    When a libertarian doesn't want to do something, he whines about it on Slashdot.
    When a liberal doesn't want to do something, the libertarian loudly protests that his freedoms are being taken away.

    I would be very annoyed if your fat ass got up four times during the first half of the movie.
    Sincerely,
    The guy sitting next to you.

  24. Re:That's not funny on Backyard Brains Can Help Satisfy Your Inner Frankenstein (Video) · · Score: 2

    I'm OK with the killing. It's the dismembering for fun and profit that doesn't sit well with me.

  25. Re:Maybe it's irrational... on MIT Creates Superhydrophobic Condiment Bottles · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, but we probably should before declaring something 'food safe'
