  1. Re:Broken? More like fixed. on J. P. Barlow — Internet Has Broken the Political System · · Score: 1

    What is the solution? Having smart, well-informed people make the important, big decisions. How do we make that happen?

    I believe that's called an Aristocracy.

    Only if their position is heritable.

  2. Re:Stupid Question on Giant Guatemalan 'Sinkhole' Is Worse Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    uh, spherical. The sun is spherical. It hasn't been a circle for decades.

    So it's circular from every point of view.

    think that the Internet is a series of tubes.

  4. Re:Here comes the boycott on OH Senate Passes Bill Banning Human-Animal Hybrids · · Score: 1, Informative

    The real joke is that you were tagged "Informative".

  5. Re:Study excludes microorganisms on New Estimate Suggests 5.5M Species On Earth, Not 30-100M · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How do you define species when there's no sexual reproduction?

    Rats have a very high mutation rate (a huge number of them die of cancer as a result), ...

    Well, considering how much "junk food" they eat, it's not surprising.

  7. Re:Define 'Harm' on PETA Creates New Animal-Friendly Software License · · Score: 1

    Gorillas are pre-sapient at best.

    What do they miss?

  8. Stockmarket on 'Peak Wood' Offers Parallels For Our Time · · Score: 1

    I hope the stockmarket will price oil properly when we reach the peak. I mean, there's too much money in stake for not doing so. When we'll have higher than 100$/barrel oil for an extended period without hope for it to become cheaper, that will enable green technologies.

  9. Re:Isn't April Fools over already? on New Hungarian Government OMGs All Gov Sites · · Score: 1

    "As I said, this is not what I'm betting on. But if asked to speculate in this area, suppose that a government website had information on poverty among Gypsies. "

    The KSH (Central Statistical Office) site isn't affected.

    or whether this is just an attempt to limit access to embarrassing data

    WTF? You mean FIDESZ wants to cover up the previous government's failure?

  12. Re:Ahh games testing... on The Life of a South Korean Pro Gamer · · Score: 1

    Sounds a bit like working at a games company. except with better hours and food.

    Except that they actually get to play video-games.

    On a more serious note : do video-games companies have full-time testers? I would doubt it.

    "for all who draw the (sword) Wikipedia will die by the (sword) Wikipedia"
    Matthew 26:52

      "Some girls are used in nine months or a year. An 18-year-old, sweet young thing, signs with an agency, makes five films in her first week. Five directors, five actors, five times five: she gets phone calls. A hundred movies in four months. She's not a fresh face any more. Her price slips and she stops getting phone calls. Then it's, 'Okay, will you do anal? Will you do gangbangs?' Then they're used up. They can't even get a phone call. The market forces of this industry use them up."[5] Some film studios encourage their actresses to have breast implants, and offer to pay for the procedure.[5]

  14. Re:Without LAN how will Sc2 be able to used in pro on The Life of a South Korean Pro Gamer · · Score: 1

    I guess it will authenticate to Blizzard servers and then start LAN play.

  15. Like porn? on The Life of a South Korean Pro Gamer · · Score: 1

    'Because of this structure of bringing in young people, developing them and then replacing them when their lifespan is spent and they have been squeezed dry, it has earned the name of "the chicken coop."'"

    It reminds me how porn works.

  18. Re:There's a problem with games "with a purpose." on Design Contest Highlights Video Games With a Purpose · · Score: 1

    "If you're going in with an anti-violence message, then everything is flat and preachy. Characters only act how they are in order to reinforce the message. "Oh no, I shot a guy, and now my life is horrible! Why ever must we live in such a violent world!" "
    Like Tarantino?

  19. Re:Capitalism !! on Intel Sucks Up Water Amid Drought In China · · Score: 1

    That is a terribly childish view to believe that even in pure capitalism there would be no regard for self preservation.

    Without a work force there are not likely to be future gains.

    All you have to do is seek another developing country to screw.

  21. Re:Moving, not fixing, the problem on When Mistakes Improve Performance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This system may very well move the burden of error correction from the hardware to the software in such a way that there is no net gain.

    People said the same about RISC processors.

  22. Re:Psychologists on The "Scientific Impotence" Excuse · · Score: 1

    First off, don't use the "If that have a Nobel prize there right about everything" logical Fallacy.

    Sorry, but that's a total strawman.

    Psychiatry IS really good. And I mean actually scientific Psychiatry. Not some idiot hanging a shingle and doing 'therapy'

    Nobody mentioned psychiatrist, we were talking about psychologists.

    Isn't that Slashdot? :p
    We could argue that discussion boards have some role-playing element.

    P.S.: And you can get addicted to it as well! (Some say that "Slashdot is a plot by Microsoft to destroy the productivity of Linux users".)

    1, Feeding cows with wheat is pretty expensive. I don't think it was ever done in history (other than getting rid of old, excess wheat).
