  1. Re:Gamers? no Nerds? yes on Gamers Beat Algorithms At Finding Protein Structures · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that we can solve the mysteries of life by harnessing the human power of cheating? I like it.

  2. Re:Its not always needed on Should Professors Be Required To Teach With Tech? · · Score: 1

    There is one tech that is needed: a maker that doesn't run out of ink at the most inconvenient times.

  3. 20%? on 2 Chinese ISPs Serve 20% of World Broadband Users · · Score: 0, Redundant

    20%? That's almost 1/5 of all broadband users!

  4. Re:Wait until it has been repeated. on Possible Room Temperature Superconductor Achieved · · Score: 1

    You can, if the sand is the eroded remnant fragments of an ancient solar panel. Unrelated: It is highly inadvisable to eat sand with inherent photovoltaic properties. Prob'ly has heavy metals 'n stuff. And it's sand.

  5. Re:If its in the OS kernel you're stuffed otherwis on Forced iAds Coming To OS X? · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... its probably nothing that kill -9 couldn't solve.

    . . . he smugly thinks until he hears the words "I can't let you do that, Dave."

  6. Re:Interesting Spin in the Summary on Forced iAds Coming To OS X? · · Score: 1

    the desktop environment that does not lend itself to heavy multitasking

    How's that? With expose and spaces, I personally find it easier.

    and the poorly organized layout which makes Spotlight the main way to access your files and programs

    How's it poorly organized? Okay, Finder seems to have a weird view of the file system hierarchy near the top, but then again, most of that stuff is in the sidebar.

  7. Re:Interesting Spin in the Summary on Forced iAds Coming To OS X? · · Score: 1

    Because your boss can fire you?

  8. Re:Not Facebook! on Man Claims 84% of Facebook, Gets Order Blocking Assets · · Score: 1

    Yes.
    Now,
    You. My Lawn. Get off it.

  9. What if... on Electric Cars Won't Strain the Power Grid · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...most people buy electric SUV's? Didn't think that one through, did they? :P

  10. Re:Pwn your own on Retrieving a Stolen Laptop By IP Address Alone? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be stopped by firewall though? IIRC, you have to first allow port 22 or something from OS X, then you can remote login.

  11. Re:Sooo on IBM Supercomputer Cooled With Hot Water · · Score: 1

    More like ramen noodles and pizza. Gotta be thematically appropriate.

  12. Re:cheese penis on The Curious Case of SSD Performance In OS X · · Score: 1

    I was going to mod this up, but that doesn't do it justice. Really had me laughing there, that was good.

  13. Re:CHINA IS THE BEST on ICANN Approves Internationalized Chinese Domain Names · · Score: 0, Troll

    I swear slashdot needs a "-1 you're a bloody nuisance" mod option.

  14. Sorry, nitpickery 'n stuff on Internet Sales Tax Gets a New Champion · · Score: 1

    I'm not for this tax, though I must point out, the tax burden is shared between the business and consumer. Very generally speaking, the tax burden tends to shift to who has the more 'competition' (I think the more proper term is inelasticity or something, I think. Then again, I'm not an econ major).

  15. Re:I seem to have missed why we'd want this on IE9 Flaunts Hardware-Accelerated Canvas · · Score: 1

    What good is moderation and power for if you can't abuse it?

  16. Re:I seem to have missed why we'd want this on IE9 Flaunts Hardware-Accelerated Canvas · · Score: 1

    True, but was it really necessary to introduce the tag? :P

  17. Re:Why I prefer physical media on Most Console Gamers Still Prefer Physical Media · · Score: 1

    It's a computer program, not a physical assembly of cogs and mechanisms.

    Pft, yeah right. Next you're going to say that the internet isn't made up of a bunch of tubes.

  18. Re:Spying? There's no App for that?! on Russian Spy Ring Needed Some Serious IT Help · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes. iSpy: with my little i. (Wonder if applescript would actually accept it).

  19. Re:wow... on Facebook Usage Hits 16 Billion Minutes a Day · · Score: 1

    Only on Slashdot is humor taken so seriously. (It was a self-referential joke BTW, posting on Slashdot is a form of communication with other people).

  20. Re:wow... on Facebook Usage Hits 16 Billion Minutes a Day · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yes.

  21. Re:is waterboarding next to get the info? on FBI Failed To Break Encryption of Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Don't be silly. Of course they're not going to use the hard drives as the board.

  22. Re:Good thing that wasn't Apple on Google Has Android Remote App Install Power, Too · · Score: 4, Funny

    Then it wouldn't have been news. :P

  23. Re:really? on Google Voice Opens To All · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here I thought the word "all" was defined as everyone, and not the important 4.5% of the world's population.

    FTFY. :P

  24. Re:As they should be. on Pentagon Seeking Out Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange · · Score: 1
    From your own article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA#Government_and_elections

    The United States is the world's oldest surviving federation. It is a constitutional republic and representative democracy,

  25. Re:As they should be. on Pentagon Seeking Out Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    There should always be the right to disent. Even the right to disent from the right to disent (so long as they stay a tiny minority).
