  1. Re:So in short on WikiLeaks Will Unveil Major Bank Scandal · · Score: 1

    let the shitfest begin!

  2. Re:Bullshit. on Actor Leslie Nielsen Dies at 84 · · Score: 1

    More likely his head is going to be put in a jar and he'll host the Oscars in the year 3000.

  3. Attention wh0re? on China's Politburo Behind Google Cyber-Attack? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Everyone seems to dislike Assange's approach to public relations. But then again, how many people know/knew Anna Politkovskaya? Assange seems to be quite the media's darling and whatever, but that might be essential for his own safety.

  4. Just the UK? on UK Police To Get Major New Powers To Seize Domains · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is it just the UK that is fracked up w.r.t. surveillance issues and excessive police rights, or am I just not noticing it in my own country (Italy)? And what about other countries (excluding usual suspects such as China)?

    I once confronted a friend of mine from the UK with her countries' big brother issues, and she didn't show any real concerns about these issues and said that everything was fine. Perhaps she isn't noticing, because she does live in the UK?

  5. Surrogates on Hacked iRobot Uses XBox Kinect To See World · · Score: 2, Informative

  9. Re:For the cost of one ISS ($100B) on Is the ISS Really Worth $100 Billion? · · Score: 1

    100 / 5 = 30 for values of 5 extremely close to 10/3?

  10. .org name and branding on 33 Developers Leave OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    As technically insignificant as it might be, I never really liked the '.org' in OpenOffice's name. Also, while we're at branding and such, I don't really like those triangles in the LibreOffice logos. Call me crazy, but I think those little details sometimes also matter. After all, people want to use aesthetically pleasing products.

  11. Oooh the money on Manchester's Self-Described 'Internet Troll' Jailed For Offensive Web Posts · · Score: 1

    1. Thinking about trolls on Slashdot

  12. Monolith on 40 Million Year Old Primate Fossils Found In Asia · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does TFA mention traces of tall dark monoliths nearby? We might need to take a closer look at the magnetic field of the Moon :D

  13. Detecting our artifacts in a few mil. years on 40 Million Year Old Primate Fossils Found In Asia · · Score: 1

    What would you say are the chances of detecting human artifacts in a few million years? I could imagine some signs of technological advancement last quite a bit (architecture, car/airplane relics, railroads, ...). Although I can't really quantify that. Perhaps someone else can?

  14. Google Maps on Giant Impact Crater Found In Australia · · Score: 1

    In case someone has some spare time to look for the crater on Google Maps: map link Cooper Basin

  15. The Quantum Cat on Quantum Computing Explained! (Well, Sorta) · · Score: 1

    Maybe Schrödinger's cat is hiding in there too? And if she's dead, will she be brought back to life by observing her?

  16. Ballmer in 10 years.. on Ray Ozzie's Departing Memo a Warning To Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny

  20. Parasites lost on The Effect of Internal Bacteria On the Human Body · · Score: 1

  23. And what about the X-Prize? on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    How would you connect the Google Lunar X-Prize to their advertisement-driven marketing? I always fail to see how that connects to Google's business plan.

  24. Re:This is good on Facebook Billionaire Gives Money To Legalize Marijuana · · Score: 2, Funny

    So assuming we don't blow ourselves up, us Californians just have to worry about California breaking off from the US. To go hang with Hawaii. Alaska can come too. THE END!

  25. SVN in China on China Blanks Nobel Peace Prize Searches · · Score: 1

    Just wondering, is the Subversion repository software actually used in China?
