  1. Where are my mod points?

  2. Re:I'm sorry, that's it. on N.C. Official Sics License Police On Computer Scientist For Too Good a Complaint · · Score: 1

    Antarctica is the new frontier. Get moving.

  3. Re:How are they on Israeli Company Trains Security Mice · · Score: 2

    I'm sorry, you're deluded. Israel did nothing to Egypt, this situation is the responsibility of their own corrupt leaders.

  4. Re:Coolest part of the article on Statistician Cracks Code For Lottery Tickets · · Score: 1

    The big thing would be that you would still have to wait around the store for the winning tickets to come up so you could buy them.

  5. Re:this is ridiculous on Texas Student Attends School As a Robot · · Score: 1

    Seeing as coming into contact with someone in order to reproduce would probably kill him, you don't need to worry about that. Second, you are, in fact, a heartless person, or unreasonably jealous that someone weaker then you gets to be a robot and you don't.

    Because that isn't as cool. Shut up.

  7. Re:Century on WikiLeaks Nominated For 2011 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    There was no dramatic war between the races before he was elected, and hate crimes haven't dropped at all since he was.

  8. Re:Pixel-peeping verus art on Google Art Project Brings Galleries To Your PC · · Score: 1

    If you're looking at it using the same method as google earth or the other google technologies, then the gigapixels probably won't be loaded at all unless you really want to zoom in, and then only the fraction of the image that you are focused on.

  9. Re:Bad business on Egyptians Find New Ways To Get Online · · Score: 1

    Yes. They have no other options. Any other internet service providers who move in to take their place will do the same thing when the new government points their guns at them too.

  10. Re:Politics on Openleaks Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Unless the camera then zoomed out, the director yelled cut, and the van occupants piled out to congratulate each other on propaganda well done... Probably not the case here, but it wouldn't historically be the first time such a thing has happened.

  11. Re:Who are you? on Facebook Launches Social Login and HTTPS · · Score: 1

    Or people with friends who only use random cartoon characters as their profile pictures.

  12. Re:This is slashdot? on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm not sure what's wrong with your computer, there's no overlap problem for me. The central content is just displaced by sidebar, not covered by it. Of course, all the text in the side panel turns white when I scroll in past a certain point, but that's a different issue.

  13. Re:This is slashdot? on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Control + scroll wheel would probably solve your issues with the text size, at least, it solves mine.

  14. Re:Suckage alert. on Reeves Rumors Reversed · · Score: 1

    At least Slashdot has the decency to run stories which correct older stories on the front page. That's a lot better than most top level news agencies do.

  15. Re:Farhud on New Mega-Leak Reveals Middle East Peace Process · · Score: 1

    I don't you get this: If your ethical system is based on might-makes-right, as is believed throughout most of the middle east, then yes, they have every right to roll into Europe and take that land too.

    That aside, every one of Israel's neighbours is arabic in nature. It's a generalization like saying that "Hitler attacked Europe". A convenient way of stating the fact without listing every country in the area.

    Also, in case you're woefully ignorant of the situation in the middle east: in every major war that Israel has fought and taken land in, the first shots were fired by their enemies on Israeli soil.

  16. Re:Extreme action advice (instead of suicide bombi on New Mega-Leak Reveals Middle East Peace Process · · Score: 1

    I suspect any jewish Israelis who would take you up on your offer would be doing because of the oppression of their own government. Living in Israel isn't fun for anyone.

    Jews are not the problem in Israel, neither are the Palestinians. The largest problem is governing bodies on both sides with short-sighted goals and a desire for power that eclipses any compassion for the people they are ruling over.

    The other problem is meddling from outside rulers who think they know the right solution for a complex situation after spending mere hours being briefed on it.

  17. Re:Israel has the right to exist in peace... on New Mega-Leak Reveals Middle East Peace Process · · Score: 2

    You haven't been to Israel, have you. There are parts of the country where it is illegal for a person of Jewish decent to set foot on pain of death but are open to Palestinians. Nobody of the Jewish faith is allowed to pray on the temple mount. And while Palestinian settlers can pick any valley they want to to build houses in and they don't even have to pay taxes on them, it is illegal for Jewish settlers to do the same on barren, rocky hilltops.

    To the victors go the spoils. The Arabs started both those wars and the arabs can live with the consequences.

  19. Re:Adaptation and Propaganda on New Mega-Leak Reveals Middle East Peace Process · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I have a fairly hard time accepting al-Jazeera as an honest source of a leak. They don't have a stake in this situation, no sir.

  20. Re:Good lord... on New Mega-Leak Reveals Middle East Peace Process · · Score: 1

    I might point out that this current grudge is far less than a hundred year old at current. Forcing the two sides to stop blaming their problems on each other for even a decade would probably work wonders.

  21. Re:How do you hit the cockpit? on Laser Incidents With Aircraft On the Rise · · Score: 1

    Do you know what happens when a jet has to do a belly landing? Do you know where the front landing gear folds into?

    Smarter people than you have applied hundreds of hours of their time to designing these things, don't think you can come up with something brilliant in five minutes.

  22. Re:The meaning of random on Greenland Ice Sheet Melts At Record Rate In 2010 · · Score: 1

    But let's put it this way, how many people who live in Greenland are actually complaining about the warmer temperatures?

    Restaurants charge a premium for what is essentially homemade food after all... if people are willing to pay for the convenience, why not let them?

    I will bother to be offended by the term when people get around to outlawing "b*****d" because it is derogatory to persons of undetermined ancestry.

    Besides the fact that that bit of desert would suddenly become the most fought over bit of land anywhere.
