  1. Re:Oops on US Launches Largest Spy Satellite Ever · · Score: 1

    Because a space telescope would be a NASA launch instead of NRO. Unless you're talking about aliens in which case I'm not sure you're qualified to call other people professionally paranoid.

  2. Re:Doesn't fix the Radiation problem on Making Airport Scanners Less Objectionable · · Score: 1

    Having recently gone through a cancer radiation treatment, I'd like to point out that if your doctor knows squat about radiation you should get a new doctor.

  3. Re:UNEXPECTED on Life Found In Deepest Layer of Earth's Crust · · Score: 1

    This is mentioned in the article, but missed by the summary. But complaining about Slashdot editors has become a meme of its own so I'll not bother.

  4. Re:Age is a Problem on Sciencey Heroes For Young Children? · · Score: 1

    What on Earth (or off it) makes you say that being an astronaut doesn't take years of training and experience?

  5. Re:PEBKAC on Web-Users Fall For Fake Anti-Virus Scams · · Score: 1

    When javascript is outlawed, it won't be running in your browser so the outlaws using it can't do anything.

  6. Re:What is the point? on New York Judge Rules 6-Year-Old Can Be Sued · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Saying "not to sound cruel" doesn't magically make this not a cruel comment.

  7. Re:News Corp/Fox is out of control on News Corp. Shuts Off Hulu Access To Cablevision · · Score: 1

    If everyone's costs drop by half, then you've halved the cable company's revenue. Hard to see how to convince them that's a sustainable business model. Happy customers aren't useful if they're paying you significantly less money.

  8. Re:Images on Las Vegas Hotel Vdara an Accidental Death Ray · · Score: 1

    link returns a 404 for me

  9. Re:New Hope vs. Star Wars on Lost Star Wars Scene In the Wild · · Score: 1

    no no no. Those are 1997 changes, not 1981 changes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_changes_in_Star_Wars_re-releases

  10. Re:I was hoping for a rickroll on Lost Star Wars Scene In the Wild · · Score: 3, Informative

    Really? The subtitle A New Hope has been in use since 1981. That was when the film was re-released theatrically after the release of Empire, and well before Return of the Jedi first played in 1983.

  11. Re:What's the rate for non-DRM games? on DRM-Free Game Suffers 90% Piracy, Offers Amnesty · · Score: 1

    The summary? How about the title?

  12. Re:'limousine liberalism' on Electric Car Subsidies As Handouts For the Rich · · Score: 1

    The gulf of mexico? That catastrophe happened.

  13. Re:Population of universe is zero. on A New Take On the Fermi Paradox · · Score: 2, Informative

    (Warning: The maddening concept that the infinity of all planets is larger than the infinity of planets with life may harm your brain. Viewer's Discretion is Advised)

    A slight correction: these two infinities (assuming they even are infinite) could be the same size even when the set of inhabited planets is a subset of all planets. Infinities are really weird.
