  1. Re:Not a fire risk on Student Designs Cardboard Computer Case · · Score: 1

    Kelvin 505 would like to have a word with you.

  2. Re:I ordered one... on Student Designs Cardboard Computer Case · · Score: 1

    And the metal shipping crate came in a plastic wrap and 6 of those contraptions came in a truck towed by another truck. Nothing we can imagine on Slashdot can beat pros though.

  3. Re:Outrage on ASCAP Says Apple Should Pay For 30-sec. Song Samples · · Score: 1

    I agree, making those people mutually assuredly destruct is quite a challenge.

    hence the limit of two words to allow for "me too!" comments.

    And the universe collapsed on December 21, 2012. Good thing it already happened, so we're safe.

    So that's why Ubuntu is 29.1% better than Windows!

    Clearly the sun is the enemy here. BURN THE SUN!

    Increase it to $60-$120 then.

    1) Make it fully voluntary (you don't get to choose which case you get though)
    2) Pay $40 per hour, up to a maximum of 250 hours per year.

    It encourages people to serve (except the rich people who already get enough representation) and discourages people from becoming career jurors.

  11. Why do people keep thinking on New "Drake Equation" Selects Between Alien Worlds · · Score: 1, Insightful

    that life requires carbon or water? Life on Earth does, but that's just because our planet happens to have a temperature which allows for liquid water, a large amount of water and an atmosphere which is 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen. We have 4.5 billion years of experience with this kind of life but absolutely nothing in terms of any other form of life.

    Making learning fun is when you teach people how awesome calculus actually is. This is making fun learning.

  17. Re:Inherintly unconstitutional on Professor Posts "Illegal Copy" of Guide To Oregon Public Record Laws · · Score: 1

    I think states' rights are more important than copyright. If they can be bypassed when they are against something you don't like, why should they exist at all?

  18. Re:Ummmm on Congress Mulls Research Into a Vehicle Mileage Tax · · Score: 1

    Because the purpose of these taxes is to cover costs that people are inflicting on the roads/environment/public that not everyone is inflicting. For example, if some people are emitting CO2 but others aren't, it's only fair to make the people who emit CO2 pay for the damage they're causing.

  19. Re:I am against it on Congress Mulls Research Into a Vehicle Mileage Tax · · Score: 1

    I agree, increasing the gas tax is the correct way to deal with this. I don't support vehicle tracking any more than anyone else here does.

  20. Re:Hey Big Auto on "Right To Repair" Bill Advances In Massachusetts · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Even then, the statement still applies. The government owns part of these companies now. It might as well salvage something out of this disaster and use its control.

    We own part of these companies now. Might as well salvage something out of this disaster and use our control.

    That's what a bull thinks of a human breast.

    By accepting your CO2 exhaust and paying money out of my pocket to repair the roads that you are damaging (and not paying sufficient taxes to compensate) by driving on them. It might seem trivial, but multiply it by 300 million people (6.7 billion for the CO2) and you get the picture.

  24. Re:Wow, biased much? on No App Store For Microsoft's Zune HD · · Score: 1

    The very fact that Linux has multiple headlines on Slashdot every week considering it's 1% market share and its fourth place finish behind XP, Vista/7 and OSX comes close to astroturfing in my book.

    My hobbies and lifestyle require setting buildings on fire. Therefore, I am against criminalizing arson.

    Just because you prefer to live a certain way doesn't mean that we have to bend over backwards to support your lifestyle.
