  1. Degrees in What on Value of University Degree Continues To Decline (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 2

    Not all degrees are created equal.

  2. The Science of how this works on Making Liquid Fuels From Sun and Air · · Score: 1

    Isn't it called photosynthesis?

  3. Re:Lack of Magnetic Field on Venus May Have Active Volcanoes · · Score: 2

    You should be a guest on Coast to Coast AM!

  4. What does it mean? on What Does It Mean To Be a Data Scientist? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Absolutely nothing.

  5. Caddyshack on Obama Proposes 2 Years of Free Community College · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of Dangerfield's classic line: "Hey everyone--we're all gonna get laid!"

  6. Resistance is futile on Congress Passes Bill Allowing Warrantless Forfeiture of Private Communications · · Score: 1

    All your papers are belong to us.

  7. Safe? on Ask Slashdot: Is Non-USB Flash Direct From China Safe? · · Score: 1

    Where do you think your phone and laptop came from?

  8. I Don't Get It on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Make a High-Spec PC Waterproof? · · Score: 1

    This sounds like you are either too lazy or not qualified for this job. My advice is to find someone who installs this kind of thing professionally. You aren't going to impress your boss or anyone else when this fucks up due to you half-assing it based off what someone from /. told you to do.

  9. Two Words: on What To Expect With Windows 9 · · Score: 1

    Missed opportunity. Windows 8 tried to tell users what they were supposed to want. 9 would be a good chance to give users what they actually want (hint: a usable desktop that 'just works' goes a long way)

  10. You call it a fine on U.S. Threatened Massive Fine To Force Yahoo To Release Data · · Score: 1

    I call it extortion. Can the federal government be prosecuted for racketeering?

  11. Coming from Methane on Scientists Baffled By Unknown Source of Ozone-Depleting Chemical · · Score: 2

    Couldn't the CCl4 be resulting from radical chlorination in the upper atmosphere? There is certainly enough UV light available.

  12. Health Insurance on 35% of American Adults Have Debt 'In Collections' · · Score: 1

    I've had two doctors' offices try to turn my account over to collections. Both times it was because there was a problem with the insurance billing. I have health insurance but it doesn't help me any if there's a problem at the point of data entry. If a billing code is wrong, insurance won't pay. Both times I called the doctors' offices, spoke with the business managers, and told them I wouldn't pay until insurance did. Insurance won't pay to collections, so it magically got fixed. I'm sure I'm not the only person this happens to.

  13. New Study on Soccer Superstar Plays With Very Low Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    Timothy edits with very low brain activity.

  14. Fucking MBA Speak on New Microsoft CEO Vows To Shake Up Corporate Culture · · Score: 4, Funny

    MBA's have the amazing ability to fit a lot of words into very little meaning.

  15. Re:I have a BS in Chemistry on What's Your STEM Degree Worth? · · Score: 1

    My chemistry degree got me in as a process engineer in specialty chemicals manufacturing. My starting pay wasn't as high as an engineer's, but it was definitely more than what my friends with biology degrees were making. And after a few years of experience, I've caught up to the engineers in pay range.

  16. Re: better idea on A Physicist Says He Can Tornado-Proof the Midwest With 1,000-Foot Walls · · Score: 3, Funny

    More importantly, how many tornadoes did Berlin have while the wall was up?

  17. Did he mention on A Physicist Says He Can Tornado-Proof the Midwest With 1,000-Foot Walls · · Score: 5, Funny

    That it only works for square tornadoes on an infinite plane of uniform density?

  18. An Easy Solution... on Ask Slashdot: Troubling Trend For Open Source Company · · Score: 3, Funny

    I know exactly how to fix this, but you'll have to pay me for support.

  19. Re:South Carolina on South Carolina Department of Revenue Hacked, 3.6 Million SSNs Taken · · Score: 1

    I don't know what came over me.

  20. Re:South Carolina on South Carolina Department of Revenue Hacked, 3.6 Million SSNs Taken · · Score: 0

    Except the plane fucking flew first in NC. Fuck yourself you fucking fuck.

  21. Re:Lefties on More Evidence That Multitasking Reduces Productivity · · Score: 1

    Just like how you didn't mention where you got the impression that lefties were better at multitasking?

  22. Re:Outdated news on Bringing Free Software To a Street Near You · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I read the website too. It just seems like that's one of the important things to put in the summary.

  23. Post the Date on Bringing Free Software To a Street Near You · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And when is Software Freedom Day 2012? Isn't that what the summary is supposed to be about?

  24. Re:Carriers are businesses on Wrong Number: Why Phone Companies Overcharge For Data · · Score: 2

    If a business only charges actual cost for a product, they cannot make a profit. I want some companies to earn a profit, especially if I'm a stakeholder. If we're lucky, we have jobs (and paychecks) that are a result of some company making a profit. No, I'm not talking about hookers-and-blow-for-everybody kind of profit, either.

  25. Carriers are businesses on Wrong Number: Why Phone Companies Overcharge For Data · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Do you really think what carriers charge is how much it actually costs to send a text message?
