  1. Re:Bout TIme on Double-Dynamo Model Predicts 60% Fall In Solar Output In The 2030s · · Score: 1

    Shit...I just put mine away last month.

  2. Re:Excuse to keep using oil on Double-Dynamo Model Predicts 60% Fall In Solar Output In The 2030s · · Score: 1

    I am working on that right now after a great meal of BBQ and Baked beans.

    Stay tuned.

  3. Re:Blew up one of our instruments, too on SpaceX Rocket Failure Cost NASA $110 Million · · Score: 1, Interesting

    And designed largely with pencils and slide rules.

    A feat that I highly doubt today's politically correct NASA could repeat today.

  4. Re:I don't think it's enough, but I have doubts to on Vancouver Area Teen Sentenced To 16 Months For Swatting · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You can recover from a SWATing in a few weeks...

    Unless you are fucking DEAD.

  5. Re:No one RTFA anymore on More Supermassive Black Holes Than We Thought! · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Know what? Fuck you.

    The question is related TFA but not about TFA. I thought would be interesting to ask. I figured there might be people here would have a guess, interesting take or maybe even an answer and that I'd learn something. Instead, I get a fucker like you with your stupid, useless, snaky response.

  6. Ultimate Fate? on More Supermassive Black Holes Than We Thought! · · Score: 2

    So once these and others like them gobble up all the matter in the universe and then they start to work on each other, will we eventually end up with something akin to the makings of another Big Bang?

    Astrophysicists?

  7. Opportunity on Brazilian Evangelicals Set Up a "Sin Free" Version of Facebook · · Score: 1

    I believe there is an opportunity for a Facebook like site that didn't operate on the principal of ever expanding features, ads, and the general megalomania of Zukerberg. Something that simple provided actual friends to connect, didn't inundate you with garbage, and actually believed in privacy.

    Just need a few million $$ or some gullible "employees" to work for a promise.

  8. Because...it's the LAW! on Proposed Regulation Could Keep 3D-printed Gun Blueprints Offline For Good · · Score: 5, Insightful

    All Constitutional issues aside (Free Speech, Prior Restraint, etc.) They can't keep details of their spying program out of the news. They expect to prevent people from exchanging these documents?

  9. Re:Lame duck on Silicon Valley Is Filling Up With Ex-Obama Staffers · · Score: 2

    "The Police acted stupidly".

    If the cops showed up at my place because I was trying to break in, I'd prove I lived there, then thank them for showing up.

  10. Re:[T]hings that ... fail: lots of experience at t on Silicon Valley Is Filling Up With Ex-Obama Staffers · · Score: 0

    What utter bullshit.

    Take your fucking talking points and get the fuck out.

  11. Re:PID FTW on When Nerds Do BBQ · · Score: 1

    There are already commercial grade ovens the precisely control smoke and hea pretty much any BBQ shop that does more than a few hundred pounds a day uses these.

      MIT is reinventing the wheel.

  12. Re:Psychoactive drugs may affect your thinking? on Common Medications Sway Moral Judgment · · Score: 1

    "Moral Decisions", such as whether it's right to shoot up a school or not.

  13. Re:Americans setting off fireworks... snicker on The Science of 4th of July Fireworks · · Score: 4, Funny

    Our Federal Government is invested with tens of thousands of people who's job is to suck the fun out of everything.

  14. Sliden'Joy? on SlideN'Joy Extender Adds Up To Two More Screens For a Multi-Monitor Laptop · · Score: 3, Funny

    Really? Sliden'Joy?

    Their first action should be hire a marketing guy who will probably have them change the name lest it be automatically banned by various internet filters as a sex toy.

  15. Re:Research studies are for cows. on Pew Survey Documents Gaps Between Public and Scientists · · Score: 4, Funny

    Strange, but I'm finding I agree with this.

  16. Re:Alarming Freedom on Pew Survey Documents Gaps Between Public and Scientists · · Score: 2

    Fortunately, when it comes to public policy, everyone's opinion is of equal worth.

  17. Re:Makes sense. on Pew Survey Documents Gaps Between Public and Scientists · · Score: 1

    I think it's safe to say that in any SHTF event, it's the people who believe themselves to be smart who will suffer the worst.

  18. Re:Fix disparities everywhere on Scientist Union's Talks Stall Over Pay · · Score: 1

    No one has a gun to their head forcing them to work for/in CA.

  19. Just to be Clear... on Struggling University of Phoenix Lays Off 900 · · Score: -1, Troll

    You can spend hundreds of thousands at a state or Ivy League college getting a useless degree, have giant debts, end up on food stamps, and Obama doesn't care.

    But if you spend the same at University of Phoenix or ITT Tech and have the same result, Obama gets his panties in a wad.

    So the lesson here is that money should only be wasted on government approved institutions.

  20. Re:The programs listed are mostly old on How Television Is Fighting Off the Internet · · Score: 3, Informative

    I just spent a week recovering from surgery. I had a big screen TV and a high end Time Warner Cable package available.

    Absolute Fucking Crap

    500 channels my ass...250 regular and 250 dups with High Def

    One movie channel ran the same 4 fucking movies all weekend....except after midnight and before ten, which were all fucking sham-wow commercials.

    Books. No commercials and better resolution.

  21. Re:Well lah-dee-dah on Ask Slashdot: Making Donations Count · · Score: 2

    I suspect this altruism won't last long.

    With in a year his credit card and auto debt will become a burden and he'll keep everything for himself.

    If he gets out of that, he'll meet some girl and then the money will be sucked out of him again.

    THEN, he'll get her pregnant and end up paying nearly $250,000 until they turn 18...more if he's a real Dad and pays for college.

    So just take that money and put it into a Roth Account or something.

  22. Re:Oh no... you mean... on Political Polls Become Less Reliable As We Head Into 2016 Presidential Election · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The Demise of polling could be the best thing that ever happened to US Politics.

    It would remove an essential tool from the typical two faced campaign tool chests. You can't just say what people want to hear when you have no idea what that is.

  23. Re:If you've got nothing to hide on Privately Owned Armored Trucks Raise Eyebrows After Dallas Attack · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And the only people with raised eyebrows are the ones that contract private transportation, much of it with "enhanced safety" and specially trained drivers.

    It's like some dickwad whining about people having guns yet has armed guards on the payroll.

  24. Re:Not buying it on Near Misses Lead To More Consumer Drone Legislation · · Score: 1

    I don't think there is an issue of drones being sucked into engines. Has it happened? Has a drone even hit an airliner?

  25. Not buying it on Near Misses Lead To More Consumer Drone Legislation · · Score: 1

    An airliner on approach or in the patter is not going to see a typical consumer drone unless it hits the cockpit. They are doing 200MPH in the pattern and at least 100 - 120 when landing. Drones are too small and you are not going to see just one. Hell, it's hard enough to spot light aviation aircraft.

    The control freaks just want a reason to restrict these things for whatever reason...knee jerk reaction to people being able to do what the Government does...watch others from the sky.

    Then there's Diane F. That bitch would ban butter knives if she could.
