  1. "white-supremacist father and son" on In UK, First "Anarchist's Cookbook" Downloaders' Convictions · · Score: 1

    How is that "white-supremacist" part relevant? It's not illegal to be ignorant, is it?

  2. Re:Cure? on Cheap Cancer Drug Finally Tested In Humans · · Score: 1

    What was the last time a doctor prescribed or recommended aspirin, which is far superior to any of the more expensive "anti-inflammatory" medicines which are used for arthritis, pain, etc?

    Actually, you mean ibuprofen. Good point other than that.

  3. The plunge (partly) explained on House Calls For Hearing On Stock Market "Glitch" · · Score: 3, Informative

    WSJ is reporting that the trigger was a very large sell order for P&G coupled with unchecked computer trading and some inherent flaws in the current system of fragmented exchanges.

    Felix Salmon also did a good explanatory post that pulled in work from other writers about what might have happened and why.

    Mr. Salmon's post links to a thought provoking post by a blogger named Kid Dynamite, who posits that it's a really bad precedent to cancel the erroneous trades because it lets the program traders off the hook for the consequences of their computer mess-up.

  4. Re:good idea there, buddy on TSA Worker Jailed In Body Scan Rage Incident · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you just shrugged it off then only your coworkers would know you have a small dick. Now the whole world knows.

    When a women is subjected to a hostile work environment, she might be told, "If you just shrugged it off then only your coworkers would know you are a slut. Now the whole world knows."

    Clearly if this is said to a woman, then it is a blame-the-victim mentality and is wrong. It should also be wrong in this case, when it's a man who suffers from a hostile work environment.

  5. Re:It's News, but... on TSA Worker Jailed In Body Scan Rage Incident · · Score: 1

    The story IS about your right to not be laughed at for having an itty-bitty, tiny little pecker -- an issue that is of utmost importance to many slashdot readers (myself excluded, of course!)

    I think this might actually be insightful. After all, the guys with big dicks were getting laid so much in high school that they had no need to develop their brains and become nerds. And the people who become nerds... well, it's simple logic. :)

  6. Re:Nice punchline on TSA Worker Jailed In Body Scan Rage Incident · · Score: 1

    But if this latest incident is any indication, the scanners sound like good news for anti-terrorism and bad news for less-than-average men.

    So what you're saying, NBC, is that the only people who would complain about this invasive technology are terrorists and guys with small dicks?

    Well done.

    ...which brings up the question, would guys with big dicks ever become NBC reporters? Presumably they'd be too busy getting laid in high school or college to ever give a shit about studying, so they wouldn't have needed to develop their brains to get a career as a reporter. Actually, that may describe most/all of Slashdot too. :D You know, since big-dicked guys have no incentive to become nerds (since they got laid so much), does that mean nerds have small penises? :D

  7. Re:sexual harassment on TSA Worker Jailed In Body Scan Rage Incident · · Score: 2, Informative

    can this guy sue the tsa for sexual harassment?

    Actually it would be for a hostile work environment.
