  1. Timecube reveals itself in mysterious ways! on The LHC, the Higgs Boson, and Fate · · Score: 2, Funny

    Next they'll tell us that we live in an electrified universe!

  2. Re:A scientific icon on Carl Sagan Sings · · Score: 1

    Only on the internet could someone called Anonymous Coward try to slam Carl Sagan for being "a nobody".

  3. Re:Don't matter... on ICE Satellite Maps Profound Polar Thinning · · Score: 0

    Stick around. We're getting close to the point where the ice over land starts melting. That's when the show begins.

  4. Re:Hide in the mountains! on ICE Satellite Maps Profound Polar Thinning · · Score: 1

    A lot of us listen to the actual science, and aren't simply Rush Limbaugh parroting shills. The problem isn't from water-bound ice melting, it's from ice that is melting that is currently over land. Using your analogy, imagine your cup of water with a ledge full of ice around it. The ice starts melting, and the water runs into your glass. Do you think the water level will stay the same, or rise? Do you think?

  5. Willful ignorance. on Microsoft Says No TCP/IP Patches For XP · · Score: 1

    It's amazing how many slashdotters totally ignore the fact that SP2 and SP3 DO NOT HAVE THIS BUG.

    No new computers are being shipped without SP3 at this point, and if you haven't upgraded WinXP from the original retail version, that's your own problem.

  6. why whatcouldpossiblygowrong? on Scientists Clone Oldest Living Organism · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If this site is "news for nerds", you'd think that nerds would understand what cloning was, and that cloning plants isn't some nefarious activity.

  7. Re:Stability on Why Users Drop Open Source Apps For Proprietary Alternatives · · Score: 1

    If you have had tabs open for weeks, that means you haven't been updating it to the new versions this poster was talking about...

  8. Re:Whatever happened to supply and demand on Indie Game Dev On the Positive Side To DRM · · Score: 1

    PC gaming died? When? Sure could have fooled me...

  9. Re:Linux? on Microsoft Attacks Linux With Retail-Training Talking Points · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually you've proven nothing here. Your whole argument is just to brand people he knows as communists (like his grandparents..) with nothing else to back it up.

    You're like Joe McCarthy without any power...

    Guilt by association doesn't cut it. Especially when you have nothing to prove the BS you're spewing. If Obama were a Marxist you'd be able to point to direct examples of why that is the case. You can't, because you're just a right-winger with an axe to grind.

  10. Re:Linux? on Microsoft Attacks Linux With Retail-Training Talking Points · · Score: 1

    Oh pleaes. You lose any sane person with the Marxist bullshit. If you think the Obama administration are Marxist, then you don't know WTF a Marxist is...

  11. Re:Linux? on Microsoft Attacks Linux With Retail-Training Talking Points · · Score: 1

    Except for the fact that there are more PC titles sold today than in the "golden age" of the late 90's, early 00's...

  12. Re:They are NOT Denying Global Warming on Global Warming To Be Put On Trial? · · Score: 1

    You did not address if those War Supplemental Bills were included in GWB's budget. They weren't.

    The reason they all passed as war supplemental bills is because they weren't part of the standard budget. All you have done here is to validate that nearly a trillion dollars of Obama's budget are hold overs from the Iraq war.

  13. Re:They are NOT Denying Global Warming on Global Warming To Be Put On Trial? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    For the first time in 6 years the Iraq war is INCLUDED in the budget. Part of that 1.8 trillion dollars is the war that George Bush kept off the books the whole time he was in office. TRY AGAIN

  14. Re:Heaven's Gate? on Avatar, Has Sci-fi Found Its Heaven's Gate? · · Score: 1

    Except Waterworld ended up turning a profit...

  15. Re:Not worth the money. on Linux Port For id's Tech 5 Graphics Engine Unlikely · · Score: 1

    Don't pretend id has given nothing back to the FOSS community. Most of their engines are now open source... They've given back more than any game developer on the planet...

  16. Re:Race Condition? on "Smart" Parking Meters Considered Dumb · · Score: 1

    In Chicago there are signs telling you to use your hazard lights while paying, or for stops quicker than 15 mins.

  17. Re:they developed doom using open source tools on Linux Port For id's Tech 5 Graphics Engine Unlikely · · Score: 1

    What exactly does that have to do with the new engine? It's also great how you ignore the fact that every engine they've worked on has been released under the GPL...

  18. Not worth the money. on Linux Port For id's Tech 5 Graphics Engine Unlikely · · Score: 1

    They money they would bring in from a Linux port probably wouldn't cover the man-hours involved in doing the work.

  19. Re:A slip? on Looking For a Link Between Sci-Fi UFOs and UFO Reports · · Score: 3, Informative

    The apostle John also talked to god. The Egyptians do NOT have a UFO in hieroglyphs, no matter what new age internet sites claim, and the Hebrews weren't talking about off-planet aliens when discussing the Nephilim, they're talking about children of fallen angels...

    If you honestly think there is a "leak" in that quote you mentioned, then WOW...

  20. Re:Start the Microsoft death spiral? What again? on Chrome OS Designed To Start Microsoft Death Spiral · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    In what way do you think MS and Enron are the same? Say what you will about MS, but they do actually have products that they develop and sell. They aren't a ponzi scheme.

    How many people do you know that uses their microwave to do online banking? THINK

  22. What happened to Cuil on Microsoft and Yahoo Reach Deal · · Score: 1

    I remember back when they had 20 million in start up money, and were poised to bring Google to their knees (or so ppl said). Whatever happened with that?

  23. Re:Ugg - /. Summaries! Yuck. on Transparent Aluminum Is "New State of Matter" · · Score: 1

    It's really amazing the lack of curiosity, or value of scientific knowledge that is on display around here.
    Anti-intellectualism is on the rise, unfortunately.

    Well you have to START somewhere... I know instant gratification is what everyone likes, but science isn't the fast food drive-up window...
