  1. Re:Hyperbole Sunday on The NFL Wants You To Think These Things Are Illegal · · Score: 2

    Sports are actually very exciting to watch, as well as participate in. You should try it sometime.

  2. Re:Really? on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Modern IP Webcam That Lets the User Control the Output? · · Score: 4, Funny

    That is the breast post I have seen in a long time.

    ..world. This way US companies won't have to shelter their assets overseas.

    Actually, I was going to draw breasts. Clearly your level of perversion is of a far baser nature than mine.

    That is a stupidest advice I have ever heard.

    Just like the Korean DMZ!

  7. Sold my car on Craigslist on Police Stations Increasingly Offer Safe Haven For Craigslist Transactions · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Had the buyer meet me in the lobby of my bank, transaction was in cash. Called my insurance agency before the guy test drove the car and had him leave the money with me. When the deal was done I deposited the cash, sent a CYA email to the insurance agency cancelling as of that time and date, went out, pulled the tags, tossed the dude the keys. Sketchily, he whipped out some Delaware tags (we were not in Delaware and he said he was from a different state but this was not my problem) and drove away. Seemed like a pretty safe way to do business.

  8. Wouldn't it be funny on FDA Wants To Release Millions of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes In Florida · · Score: 1

    FTA: Enter Oxitec, a British biotech firm that patented a method of breeding Aedes aegypti with fragments of genes from the herpes simplex virus and E. coli bacteria as well as coral and cabbage.

    If a fucking mosquito bit you and you get herpes along with a massive case of gas?

  9. That is a huge assumption - now, I only took the biology survey class in college so I am no expert, but IIRC insects (an even animals) can be pretty particular about their meals.

    But then again, I suspect that Anopholes will simply adapt to this change and we'll end up with an even bigger problem.

    Those islands are very seismically active. One good quake and it leeches into the Pacific ocean.

  11. Nuclear is a dead end on Safety Review Finds Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Site Was Technically Sound · · Score: 1

    In 75 years all of the low hanging fruit reserves will be mined out... according to current estimates that leaves 125 years of increasingly harder to get (i.e. more expensive) ore.

    Then what? I guess develop the clean energy that we should be working on now.

  12. Re:Majority leaders home district on Safety Review Finds Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Site Was Technically Sound · · Score: 0

    That shit is poison, a proliferation risk, and it isn't like there is an unlimited supply of fissile material anyway. At best nuclear energy is a stopgap technology. At current rates it is thought that there is a 200 year supply at best... more like 100 years (or less) should consumption double (or triple).

  13. The point is that the NSA spies on Europeans far more than they do on Americans... and always will.

    I don't think it is that the ETOPS rated twins are risky - it is just in this case they are going for super redundancy.

    Because Chrome isn't a steaming pile of shit that constantly crashes while consuming all resources when it manages to run for longer than 30 seconds.
