  1. That should be doable. Claim you're gay and that you're from some country where a religious nutjob is making the laws and your life is in danger.

  2. Re:Let's do it... on NASA Proposes a Magnetic Shield To Protect Mars' Atmosphere (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Hell, you know our record when it comes to Mars missions, don't you? The total success rate is just over 50%, so ... Just send them again if they survive at first.

  3. Finally! on New Sponge Can Soak Up and Release Spilled Oil Hundreds of Times (newscientist.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A product where we can reuse the precious oil instead of having to consider it lost.

    Yes, I'm dead serious. This is maybe what would make oil companies interested in cleaning up their mess. What's in it for them if they can't use the oil anymore after cleaning up the spill? But if they can still use the oil, their motivation to clean up rises.

    Careful there. This is the internet. You can rest assured there is some weirdo who gets off on even the strangest shit you could think of.

    On a totally unrelated note, umm, I'm building such a mesh, maybe you should send your pubes to me!

  5. Re:Isn't L1 unstable? on NASA Proposes a Magnetic Shield To Protect Mars' Atmosphere (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Yes, L1 isn't stable in all eternity, but for all practical purposes it's "stable enough".

  6. Re:Let's do it... on NASA Proposes a Magnetic Shield To Protect Mars' Atmosphere (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    And even if not... it's worth a try.

    Could we send Erdogan and Putin along, too? For ... umm... backup.

  7. Re: No real information on NASA Proposes a Magnetic Shield To Protect Mars' Atmosphere (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Every problem can be solved with gaffer tape and WD40.

  8. After pulling stuff like that repeatedly? Is that a trick question?

  9. When I pay my money for your product, you deliver what you promise. Else it is a scam.

  10. And now we know where all those panels with the dead pixels end up. You didn't think that they magically vanished, did you?

  11. Re:It's a bold choice on Nintendo Switch Owners Complain About Dead Pixels, Nintendo Says They're 'Normal' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Great. Now ALL pixels are dead.

  12. Re:Well, it depend on pixel density on Nintendo Switch Owners Complain About Dead Pixels, Nintendo Says They're 'Normal' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    See? Nobody complains about their dead pixels!

  13. Re:Dead Pixel normal in 2017 on Nintendo Switch Owners Complain About Dead Pixels, Nintendo Says They're 'Normal' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Yes. The second amendment.

    After 2-3 people executing it, you should see some results.

  14. I'm fairly sure you're able to support your statement with evidence?

  15. Get your ISPs support busy on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Handle A Bogus Copyright Infringement Notice? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And keep them busy. Call, and call, and call again. Clog them with calls.

    It's time ISPs learn it's LESS hassle to deal with bogus claims than to wave them through.

  16. Why should they not return to buying the cobalt again once nobody is giving a fuck anymore because our hearts are bleeding for someone else?

  17. Re:So you want Child Prostitution Instead? on Apple Cracks Down Further On Cobalt Supplier in Congo as Child Labor Persists (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably not, but Apple cares whether that dollar goes towards cost or profit.

  18. Re:Haiku for the Oscars on Why Typography Matters -- Especially At The Oscars (freecodecamp.com) · · Score: 0

    I wanted to write
    "You goddamn, fucking idiot"
    But that was too long

  19. You got a point there.

  20. Yeah, religious nutjobs never started a war.

    Actually... the only ones I know that never did is the loonies in Iran...

  21. Fire that dimwit instead on Why Typography Matters -- Especially At The Oscars (freecodecamp.com) · · Score: 1

    Instead of trying to blame the whole fiasco on the PWC goons (who did fuck up, no doubt here), fire that idiot that designed those cards instead. This is simply beyond dumb.

    But lemme guess. "Oh, who's gonna see the cards anyway, no need to hire a professional. My secretary can do that on our trip to the ceremony."

    It's about movies
    Not about your agenda
    you stupid moron

  23. Just so we're clear, we're talking about this Mike Pence, yes?

    Just checking.

  24. With Palin it was already shocking that she managed to use a computer at all, I honestly expected her to use it to crack nuts.

  25. He's a religious right wing nutjob, you expect him to know shit about technology? I'm already happy he didn't claim that the devil made him do it.
