  1. New Churches on Creationists Demand Equal Airtime With 'Cosmos' · · Score: 1

    How,do new churches get started? Simple, it is,Sunday, and rthe preacher is preaching. He reads a bible verse, and proceeds to tell the congregation what it means. Then a man stands up in the back and says, " I don't agree, I think it means this. And I am going to start my own church." He leaves, as does half of the congregration, and a new church is started.

  2. Money on Jesse Jackson To Take On Silicon Valley's Lack of Diversity · · Score: 1

    Jackson only gets involved if there is an opportunity for his organization to extort money from a company.

  3. What to do on Snowden A Hero? Gates Says No, Woz Says Yes · · Score: 1

    Snowden should have his genitals cut off and stuffed down his throat

  4. Re:Ours wouldn't be the first on NASA-Funded Study Investigates Collapse of Industrial Civilization · · Score: 1

    Except each succeeding civilization had access to plentiful natural resources. Weare rapidly consuming them

  5. resources on NASA-Funded Study Investigates Collapse of Industrial Civilization · · Score: 1

    The concern over resources is real, as the world population is exploding, and the amount of resoures per capita continues to rise. Which will arrive first: A collapse over resources, or the Singularity?

  6. Test Questions on Jewish School Removes Evolution Questions From Exams · · Score: 1

    Any quiz questions on the New Testament?

  7. File System on Microsoft's Attempt To Convert Users From Windows XP Backfires · · Score: 1

    MS changed how files are stored and how win explorer organizes files. Attempting to find a file using win explorer is an exercise in futility. XP was logical, 7 is a challege.

  8. calling other cars on Government To Require Vehicle-to-vehicle Communication · · Score: 1

    We should be able to use our cell phones to dial the license plate number of a car that g driven by an idiot and tell him to learn how to drive.

  9. YGBSM on Edward Snowden Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    I thought nothing could br dumber than giving this to 0bama

  10. Hang Him High on Ask Slashdot: What Does Edward Snowden Deserve? · · Score: 1

    Snowden deserves to be hung by his cojones.

  11. Understanding the Science on Michael Mann Defamation Suit Against National Review Writer to Proceed · · Score: 1

    For those with an open mind, consider auditing this MIT course on climate http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/...

  12. Mann vs. Steyn on Michael Mann Defamation Suit Against National Review Writer to Proceed · · Score: 1

    Mann is a scientist. Steyn is a guest host for Limbaugh. Steyn is a typical GW denier. No facts, just character assassination. Quoting others with facts taken out of content or focused on tiny details that have no basis in fact. If he works for the Heartland Institute then anything he says will be a distortion of facts.

  13. Re:Dell still offers Windows 7 on HP Brings Back Windows 7 'By Popular Demand' As Buyers Shun Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Item 2: Also is the thinking behind why many of us are still running XP.

  14. How does one pronounce Windows 8? "Arf, Arf"

  15. Finally on Microsoft Quietly Fixes Windows XP Resource Hog Problem · · Score: 1

    My XP computer works fine, no BSOD, no unstable operation, until MS issues patches. Then the machine gets flakey, and the only solution is a reboot. Is MS setting a switch that essentially forces me to reboot? I install patches, understand the need, but I want to do it on my own time.

  16. Climate Skeptics on Alleging 'Malpractice' With Climate Skeptic Papers, Publisher Kills Journal · · Score: 1

    Yes, shut them down. Few use facts, most take research out of context, ans they only throw chaff in the air to obscure the truth. And , yes, they tend to scratch each others backs, quoting and requoting each other.

  17. I use XP on my work computer, Win7 at home. Both are stable, only need to reboot when MS issues their patches. My work computer is 6 years old, has plenty of memory, works well. I run Office, lots of other programs, not just e-mail and browsing. I used the MS program that advises what is necessary to move to Win7. The recommendation to uninstall programs, save My Docs to a external drive, install Win 7, reinstall or find different versions of my programs, and then import my data, then reestablish all of the settings for the programs, is dumb. Plus I find the organization of folders under Win7 to be incomprehensible, and some of the installed programs for viewing photos, for example, can't find all of my photos. Why switch?

  18. Manufacture? on Incandescent Bulbs Get a Reprieve · · Score: 1

    How many manufacturers have already stopped production of incandescent bulbs? And how many will retool and start again. A great example of the Gov jerking people and companies around, politics at its worst.

  19. Competition on How Good Are Charter Schools For the Public School System? · · Score: 1

    Competition is always good. Most objections come from the entrenched, such as the teacher unions. At one time the teacher unions denied they were unions, said they were associations. Follow the Fed lawsuit against LA, for example. The urban minorities want to send their children to charter schools, because they know the public schools are failures. But the Feds are attempting to stop minorities from attending charters, as it creates racial imbalance in public schools: Not enough minorities to meet the arbitrary quotas. Go figure this one out.

  20. One more attempt on Windows 9 Already? Apparently, Yes. · · Score: 1

    This Far Side cartoon sums up MS very well. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/128563764335554892/

  21. Define "breaking the law" speeding? running a stop sign? right on red without a complete stop? cutting a left turn short? turning into the wrong lane? lots of laws broken by,all drivers everytime they drive. I doubt Ford or an employer are aware of most of these.

  22. Nuclear Meltdown Example on Japan To Create a Nuclear Meltdown · · Score: 1

    See Nuke LaLoosh in Bull Durham.

  23. Easy Question on Who Is Liable When a Self-Driving Car Crashes? · · Score: 1

    Easy, the idiot that thought a car could drive itself, namely the driver, or lack thereof. Cars are meant to be driven, stick shift, fun. Not for taking a nap while on the way to wherever. Or perhaps playing a little backseat boogie at 70 mph with a lover.

  24. Spy Plane? on Boeing Moving X-37B Operations To the Kennedy Space Center · · Score: 1

    Since the AF has not said what the X -37 is doing, there is no way to establish that the vehicle is spying or performing other missions.

  25. Re:Well... on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Books Everyone Should Read? · · Score: 1

    The criticisms of Atlas Shrugged come from the liberal media, in concert with their liberal government friends, most of whom graduated from Harvard. They see the book and its ideas as a threat to their concepts of an all-knowing, all controlling government. Much in the same light as was exposed in 1984, Animal House, and Brave New World.
