  1. Re:good thing it wasn't a watermelon seed on Man Takes Up Internal Farming · · Score: 1

    It carries its food with it. Enough to grow out of the ground and to start photosynthesising.

  2. Re:I guess I'm stupid, too. on US Students Struggle With Understanding of the 'Equal' Sign · · Score: 2, Funny

    9 = 2 is neither true nor false, it yield an error because 9 is not a variable.

  3. Texas? on US Students Struggle With Understanding of the 'Equal' Sign · · Score: 0, Troll

    These researchers might be wrong and the students right. What does the bible say about the equal sign?

  4. Re:easy solution for Google: on Oracle Sues Google For Infringing Java Patents · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can see the news Headlines: "Google buys Evil"

  5. Re:I don't think aussies want to fork up that much on Aussie National Broadband Network Will Be Gigabit · · Score: 1

    Not 1mb, but 12mb should be plenty!
    There is certainly not going to be any use in the future for more than 12mb. So Australia is in no danger of handicaping itself economicaly in a world that increasingly work with them intertubes.

  6. Business model on Valve Trademarks 'DOTA' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    1 - choose a popular mod to an existing game.
    2 - hire the devs
    3 - release standalone Steam version
    4 - PROFIT!

  7. Re:Debt on Portugal Gives Itself a Clean-Energy Makeover · · Score: 1

    Really I'd be surprised to learn that moving half a ton of metal on a dozen of miles is cheaper than using the home air climatizer that happens to be 10% less efficient than at work.

  8. Re:Debt on Portugal Gives Itself a Clean-Energy Makeover · · Score: 1

    So they'll use more power. Well, great! It comes from the sun and wind anyway.
    Plenty of energy and communications are a good thing, aren't they? Unless you're a ludite, I guess, but you wouldn't be posting on Slashdot.

  9. Re:Debt on Portugal Gives Itself a Clean-Energy Makeover · · Score: 1

    Who cares? It's all imaginary money after all.
    One thing that is not imaginary though is all the jobs created by the maintenance needs, and the free power that will flow from their generators.

  10. Re:freenet on Obama Wants Allies To Go After WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Publishing the leaked documents on Freenet would have the added benefit that informers would have the time to die of old age before anyone managed to download the leaked documents.

  11. Re:Well, maybe ... on Touchscreens Open To Smudge Attacks · · Score: 1

    Washing hands is not enough. The skin replaces the missing oil all the time.

  12. Re:It would have been more impressive... on How Star Trek Artists Imagined the iPad... 23 Years Later · · Score: 1

    They couldn't have imagined it 23 years earlier. Only Steeve Jobs could have imagined it first.

    The good news is that Star Trek will still be around in 2033.

  13. Re:Why? on Abandon Earth Or Die, Warns Hawking · · Score: 1

    Apparently you've hit some nerve with your remark, as someone couldn't stomach the fact that preserving mankind is as pointless as everything else.

    You are not a good human, you, you... you troll !

  14. Thank you on Abandon Earth Or Die, Warns Hawking · · Score: 1

    Thank you, captain obvious !

    Here's an even more insightful warning: abandon the universe or die.

  15. Re:unintentionally? on Genetically Modified Canola Spreads To Wild Plants · · Score: 1

    So the GMO crops were walking in his field, taking a shortcut to the bar to have a drink after a long day in the sun. And in their haste to wet their lips in some delicious fermented products made by their cousins, they dropped some of their seeds on his land as they hurried through it?

    If that is what happened then yes, absolutely, your analogies are good.

  16. The war on Wikileak on Pentagon Demands Return of Leaked Afghanistan Documents · · Score: 1

    1 - Start a war 2 - Documents about it leak on Wikileak 3 - Start a war on Wikileak 4 - Documents about the war on Wikileak leak on Wikileak 5 - ??? 6 - PROFIT !

  17. Re:Prior Art on Apple Mines App Store Submissions For Patent Ideas · · Score: 1

    Pior Art is so 20th century. Patents don't care much about this anymore.

  18. Re:Every day they make Microsoft look better. on Apple Mines App Store Submissions For Patent Ideas · · Score: 1

    So Apple is "stupid evil" while MS is "cunning evil".

    I'd rather reward cunning with my money.

  19. Re:I'm on Fios and Youtube is insanely slow. on Google and Verizon In Talks To Prioritize Traffic (Updated) · · Score: 1

    well, don't worry because things are looking up!
    Soon Metacafe and Vimeo will be as slow as youtube too. Unless you pay for access.

    Meanwhile the Japanese will get 1Gb/s transfers. Oh well, one can't expect good internet while living in a third world country.

  20. Re:Why not collect it in space? on Giant Balloons Could Solve Space Junk Problem · · Score: 1

    If you can launch factories into space, it's probably more economical to launch raw materials too instead of waiting for dozen of years until a plane has a bunch of old sats.

  21. Re:Looks nifty assuming no one crashes into the ra on The Bus That Rides Above Traffic · · Score: 1

    The bus featured in the article runs on solar power. So it gets infinity miles per galon.

  22. Re:srsly govt? on WikiLeaks 'a Clear and Present Danger,' Says WaPo · · Score: 1

    > They're threatening to commit a crime

    Oh, really? Because you know what's in the 1.4G file maybe ? And it justs sit there, I don't see any threat anywhere.
    For all we know, it could be Assange's movies and photos of his last trips at the beach during vacations.

  23. Re:Not a surprise on PC Gamers Too Good For Consoles Gamers? · · Score: 1

    Mac Gamers are also much more attractive. FTFY

  24. Re:Why computers? on India's $35 Tablet Computer · · Score: 1

    I don't know... indians who work on computers don't seem to starve. So this might be a good move.

  25. Re:If its in the OS kernel you're stuffed otherwis on Forced iAds Coming To OS X? · · Score: 1

    Suppose that you have shell acces.

    Here you are, on your bash shell:
