  1. Re:Whatever, it misses the key problem. on Scientists Study How Little Exercise You Need · · Score: 1

    Laffo. You have absurd expectations from a pile of meat & bones.

  2. Re:Interval Training on Scientists Study How Little Exercise You Need · · Score: 1

    Stretching is good, it's the cold muscle stretches that are a waste of time and potentially injurious.

  3. Re:Interval Training on Scientists Study How Little Exercise You Need · · Score: 1

    A common sports myth also said you shouldn't drink water when exercising, and we know now what a crock or macho bullshit that was.

  4. Re:Price fixing... on Sony Raises Price of Whitney Houston's Music 30 Minutes After Death · · Score: 1

    And people wonder why Apple didn't want to have variable pricing in the iTunes store for the longest time. It's this instant gouging of the customer that they were trying to avoid. Hell, some fuckwit from the labels wanted to have an automated system where the more popular someone's songs were, the more they would cost!

    And now we've seen it happen with Whitney Houston. Ugh.

  5. Re:wow on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1

    is this 'idiots' parade day' on slashdot ?

    Must be. You've spammed the same damn link here 6 times so far.

  6. Re:those dangerous fools have statistics behind th on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1

    Natural News, Infowars, and Vactruth in the first 4 results. Yeah, no anti-vaccine bias there!

  7. Re:It is about time on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1

    It's not that simple. Research is showing a correlation to the large number of vaccines as a child and autism.

    NO IT ISN'T.

    Stop spreading this bullshit around, we have plenty of flowers in the field already.

  8. Re:This is what happens when you LIE on AT&T On Data Throttling: Blame Yourselves · · Score: 1

    You're not being lied to, you simply have ridiculous expectations.

  9. Re:Keep working hard kids on Foxconn's Other Dirty Secret: the World's Largest "Internship" Program · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Plenty of things are made in the USA and Canada these days. Microelectronic gizmos, not so much,

  10. Re:Who cares on Foxconn's Other Dirty Secret: the World's Largest "Internship" Program · · Score: 2

    Of course they are. Apple just happens to be the hand-picked boogey man at this time.

  11. Re:OPT OUT on Female Passengers Say They Were Targeted For TSA Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    Why are you travelling for days without cleaning yourself? It's a) personally gross, and b) a horrible thing to inflict on your fellow passengers.

  12. Re:Great analysis, terrible reporting on Unauthorized iOS Apps Leak Private Data Less Than Approved Ones · · Score: 1

    My Address Book information is personal data. This is less an Apple problem than an Evil Developer problem: they're the ones stealing contacts without asking.

    Hell, why does Angry Birds need my Location Services info?

  13. Re:Canadian Legislator? on Against Online Surveillance? You Must Be 'For' Child Porn, Says Legislator · · Score: 1

    We *have* a "First past the post" system. What you're thinking of is single transferable vote or proportional voting.

  14. Re:Maybe on Ask Slashdot: Smartest Way To Transfer an Old Domain/Site? · · Score: 1

    Or, if you totally want to be disassociated with the domain, get a new one, and change any affected email addresses to the new one. Any email that's being used by a company as a contact method will just be a line in their database: changing it will just overwrite it and any new emails they need to send out will get to you without a problem.

    The biggest problem IMO is for personal emails, since so many people will have you in auto-complete or in an address book that they use.

  15. Re:Keep the domain, transfer the web site? on Ask Slashdot: Smartest Way To Transfer an Old Domain/Site? · · Score: 1

    This x 1000. Set up a totally new domain name for the site and move everything you're not interested in over to it.

  16. Re:Simple: compromise on Europe's 'Right To Be Forgotten' Threatens Online Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Language is not math. Double/triple/what have you negatives are emphasis, not an exploitation of the mathematical property of multiplying even amounts of negative numbers to create a positive one. Why do you assume multiplication anyway? If anything, it's additive.

  17. Re:Part of this is because of US Export Restrictio on Southwest Airlines iPhone App Unencrypted, Vulnerable To Eavesdroppers · · Score: 1

    Just make sure you have some Celine Dion or Anne Murray CDs when you come north, and we'll let you in, eh?

  18. Re:Doesn't Block Ads on Will "Do Not Track" Kill the Free Internet? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Don't tax me, bro!

  19. Re:Inevitability on Canadian Govt To Introduce Massive Internet Surveillance Law · · Score: 1

    Santa?

  20. Re:Done all over the place on Best Practice: Travel Light To China · · Score: 1

    Sounds like we're going to need to "travel white" at this point. The racial profiling at the border is insane at times.

  21. Re:Facebook is Public on Famous For Fifteen People: Is Everyone a 'Facebook Celebrity'? · · Score: 1

    True, but what about all the FB Social Plug-ins that advertise which of your friends read or "Liked" a story on a 3rd party site, not something that's on FB itself?

  22. Re:Not well thought out on Tesla Reveals Its Model X Gullwing SUV · · Score: 1

    Your driver gets in the front, pulls it out of the garage into the big circle drive, and then opens the rear doors for you and your friends. But not until the paparazzi have arrived.

    Panty shot central!

  23. Re:Top Gear on Tesla Reveals Its Model X Gullwing SUV · · Score: 2

    More POWAAAR!

    The doors are silly, and your last sentence sums it up completely.

  24. Re:Riggers? on Replacing the World's Largest IMAX Screen · · Score: 1

    They prefer to be called Laughrican-Australians!

  25. Re:At Least... on Alan Moore on V For Vendetta and the Rise of Anonymous · · Score: 4, Insightful

    My parents were my creators. That at least is provable.
