  1. Re:Code Reuse and God on Scientists Make Fish Grow "Hands" In Experiment Revealing How Fins Became Limbs · · Score: 1

    Heretic. You know perfectly well that Allah is the guy forbidding all imagery. You think he'd use a GUI? He's the command line guy here!

  2. The scholarly treatment of the subject matter is very much appreciated. However, it just reinforces my point. Stand-off and armor piercing. Take them out at a 1000 yards and live the last days of the apocalypse in a relaxed manner, as a gentleman should ;)

    Don't worry. Demonic hell beasts are handled like fast zombies. Firepower is key. Just don't rely on your anti-zombie shotguns. You want armor piercing capability. Minor upgrade to your gear, no big thing. Wait, don't you have at least one M82 for anti-alien action?? I thought you were prepared...

  4. Re:Hat to US politicians for their acronyms on Ban On Loud TV Commercials Takes Effect Today · · Score: 2

    Ah, man. I take our German way to name acts over backronyms like CALM or PATRIOT...

    Look at the glory of the LMBestrV - the "Lebensmittelbestrahlungsverordnung", a law regulating food treatment with electron-, gamma-, X-, neutron- or UV-rays.

    Or look at the PatAnwAPO, the "Patentanwaltsausbildungs- und Prüfungsordnung", the act regulating training and examination of patent attorneys.

    Only in such nomenclature can you really appreciate the majesty of the law... ;)

    Go out. Now. ;)

  6. Re:Mixed feelings. on Ban On Loud TV Commercials Takes Effect Today · · Score: 1

    An additional problem is that TV is pretty much an essential service these days. Turn off all channels for a week and watch the riots

    The viewer, however, is not the customer. This is not a simplified market. The viewer may pay some cash to a cable subscription to notionally make him a participant in the market, the deciding force is the main customer, though - and that is the advertiser.

    This necessarily distorts the market towards the advertiser-channel relationship to the detriment of the viewer.

    Since, as demonstrated, the viewer is not protected by market forces, it is necessary to regulate this via the government to restore a balanced situation.

  7. Re:war on North Korea's Satellite Is Out of Control · · Score: 1

    According to your insurance, it would probably be an act of God. Whether that again constitutes an act of war of God against you remains open. Given the general destructive nature of acts of God, the guy should probably be at least on a terrorism watch list by now.

  8. Re:How can he even show his face? on UT Professor Resigns Over Fracking Conflict of Interest · · Score: 1

    Not publishing your fundings and affiliations is a pretty big no-no in proper science. For that alone I do not care whether it had an impact. That's not how you do it.

  9. Re:So would it be on Has the Mythical Unicorn of Materials Science Finally Been Found? · · Score: 1

    Unicornium for latin. Monokerion for greek, though. Think Triceratops, the three-horned.

  10. Re:Some people have ethics, some not so much . . . on UT Professor Resigns Over Fracking Conflict of Interest · · Score: 0

    If you don't want your karma to drop, you might want to consider not making shit up. Not comparing apples to oranges and not blatantly lying might also help. Despite a lot of idiocy, slashdot is still pretty good at catching dishonest trolling and dealing out the appropriate karmic reward.

  11. Re:rounded corners? on New EU-Wide Patent System Approved · · Score: 2

    You always had to submit translations into at least one of these three languages. Nothing new about that.

  12. Re:So what's the word on software? on New EU-Wide Patent System Approved · · Score: 1

    The European Patent Office has always had the power to decide what is patentable. The last instance case law always has been produced by the Enlarged Board of Appeal, which itself is part of the EPO.

    So you think climate change is a scam because mitigating it is not free? That is the result of sounding your intellectual depth? Nice insight into the denialists mind, though.

    Your paranoia is kinda cute. Them ebil scientists, whom you abhor so much, actually developed some proper medication for you. You may want to try it one of these days.

    And this, good Sir, should end all the "idiocracy" bullshit. It won't, but it should. I wouldn't necessarily say that the fitness function has been loosened, though - only if you look at the physical aspects of it. Social aspects, sexual selection etc. are probably getting more important, the more the physical aspects are getting lost.

    To quote the GP: "1000 years ago Greenland had no ice". Anyone left here with at least the attention span of a gnat?

    A lesson I learned a long time ago - don't bother discussing climate with hsthompson. He's piling up the lies so fast, it gets exhausting and rather pointless to debunk his bullshit. He's been regurgitating the same tired talking points for years now. Just ignore him.

    Guys, guys.... Engage brain before a) posting and b) modding "informative". 1000 years ago Greenland had a couple of ice-free bays with just enough land for a handful of settlements. Which fared poorly. You do not seriously believe that then whole inland ice of Greenland was gone 1000 years ago?
