  1. Re:Antibiotics on Ask Slashdot: Are You Apocalypse-Useful? · · Score: 1

    It was a 'historical document.'

  2. Re:Because you think Google is any better? on Why No One Trusts Facebook To Power the Future · · Score: 1

    Which is a nice way to make yourself immortal.

  3. Re:Don't bother. on The Problem With Congress's Scientific Illiterates · · Score: 2

    Very good point. But then again: the IQ i the only way to quantify 'intelligence.' The problem is of course that there isn't even a good definition of intelligence so what exactly does an IQ test measure? The ability to do IQ tests, that's for sure.

  4. Re:Don't bother. on The Problem With Congress's Scientific Illiterates · · Score: 0

    Do you really think you will be taken seriously if you put the f-word in every one of your sentences?

  5. Re:Don't bother. on The Problem With Congress's Scientific Illiterates · · Score: 1

    Remember that 50% of all people have an IQ lower than 100. When you have a Ph.D. you belong to the 2% or so of smartest people in the world so almost everybody you meet is more stupid than you. So most people aren't smart enough to understand how science works even if they get good education.

  6. Apparently it doesn't work that way or we would not have had roaming charges and the EU would not have to force them upon the providers.

  7. Re:Bad loser on Youtube and Facebook May Be Banned In Turkey, Again · · Score: 1

    Oops. Let's just hope Erdogan doesn't read /....

  8. Bad loser on Youtube and Facebook May Be Banned In Turkey, Again · · Score: 1

    Mr. Erdogan is a bad loser. Banning social media is just a childish gut reaction to a non-issue if you ask me. If he had just ignored it people would probably have forgotten about it already.

  9. Complicated on Pine Forest Vapor Particles Can Limit Climate Change · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The world keeps amazing us because the way it works is ever more complicated than we thought.

  10. Re:Follow the money on Internet Shutdown Adds To Venezuela's Woes · · Score: 1

    Janoekovitschj also seemed to have forgotten that yesterday.

  11. Re:a very bad decision on Internet Shutdown Adds To Venezuela's Woes · · Score: 1

    When your government shuts down the internet you're sure they are there for themselves and not the people.

  12. Re:Now for BREIN itself on BREIN Gives Up on Dutch Pirate Bay Blockade · · Score: 1

    Drat. But that also shows that the two organizations are so alike that many people don't see a difference. They're all bad! ;)

  13. Re:Degausse on Google Tells Glass Users Not To Be 'Creepy Or Rude' · · Score: 1

    The neat thing about it is that the Glass will have a perfect recording of the perpetrator.

  14. Re:Q about glass on Google Tells Glass Users Not To Be 'Creepy Or Rude' · · Score: 1

    I don't find that a disturbing thought. If he wants to, just let him. It's my bathroom. I can do what I want in there as long as I don't hurt people.

  15. Now for BREIN itself on BREIN Gives Up on Dutch Pirate Bay Blockade · · Score: 1

    Let's hope BREIN gives up on itself soon. The scent of corruption hangs around this organization.

  16. Not united enough on EU Parliament Rejects Asylum For Snowden · · Score: 1, Interesting

    That's the problem with the EU: the member states have far too much power still so the EU can not function as one entity in matters like this. This gives enormous problems who come in shiploads to Italy for instance.

  17. Re:David Sedaris? on New Beetle Named After Charles Darwin and David Sedaris · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Finally the comments are on topic again.

  18. Re:Thought this was Volkswagen on New Beetle Named After Charles Darwin and David Sedaris · · Score: 1

    But you spell that as Beatles.

  19. Re:Yes, it does on Microsoft Rumored To Integrate Android Apps · · Score: 1

    Wow I knew AppleInsider was a bunch of lunatic fanboys but this is shocking.

  20. Beautiful world on National Ignition Facility Takes First Steps Towards Fusion Energy · · Score: 1

    What a beautiful world this will be.
    What a glorious time to be free!

    On that train all graphite and glitter
    Undersea by rail
    Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
    (More leisure time for artists everywhere)
    A just machine to make big decisions
    Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
    We'll be clean when their work is done
    We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young.

  21. Subject on CERN Wants a New Particle Collider Three Times Larger Than the LHC · · Score: 1

    It's always been like this. Every change in the layout has been met with lots of shouting and "We hate you" etc. Eventually it dies down and nobody cares anymore.

    There are two things about the beta I don't like: the stupid pictures that come with every article, and the enormous amount of white space to the right of the comments. For the rest it's fine with me, just as the old layout is fine with me.

  22. Re:That's still limited on Ask Slashdot: Why Are We Still Writing Text-Based Code? · · Score: 1

    This. And to use a car analogy: you can view the CLI as a plane and the GUI as a car. You can make the plane ride but you can never make the car fly.

  23. Re:Tiny little airbags like the polystyrene foam? on Building a Better Bike Helmet Out of Paper · · Score: 1

    I also wondered why the guy in the article doesn't give any proof that polystyrene is not the best material to make bike helmets of.

  24. Re:New Altitude record? on SpaceShipTwo Sets a New Altitude Record · · Score: 1

    If we let the"OMG we need to get off this rock" people get off this rock we have it a bit quieter here and can start thinking about real solutions to our overpopulation problem.

  25. Re:New Altitude record? on SpaceShipTwo Sets a New Altitude Record · · Score: 1

    We will not die out once all earth's resources are depleted. Our population will just dwindle back to a level the earth can sustain.
