  1. "Darwinian Ministry" on Scientists Take Charles Darwin On the Road · · Score: 0

    Yeah, I can say stupid bullshit about people I disagree with too, fundies. I think you shouldn't be allowed to breed so your stupidity doesn't end up in the gene pool for another generation. The hell is with these people, anyways?

  2. Re:Oh hell no. on EFF Advocates Leaving Wireless Routers Open · · Score: 1

    No, people are inherently selfish. The trick is that no one has ever been convinced on a wide scale the government is more important to their interests than getting stuff in the here and now. Evil is perspective.

  3. This story would be banned on Chinese Censors Crack Down on Time Travel · · Score: 1

    Since it's an old story, it must have time travelled to now.

  4. Re:meanwhile.... on Threatening YouTube Video Lands Man In Prison · · Score: 1

    Which is funny, generally they're more interested in regulating all speech rather than cutting out the middle man and regulating our morals.

  5. When this fails on Using Fusion To Propel an Interstellar Probe · · Score: 2

    And they combine the knowledge from both Daedalus and Icarus, I'm guessing they'll call it Helios. Wild guess.

  6. Someone once said on Afghanistan Called First "Robotic War" · · Score: 0

    That the more machines you have in an army, the easier it becomes to go to war, as you don't have to worry about the loss of human life on your side.

  7. I'm fine with this on Google's Driverless Car and the Logic of Safety · · Score: 2

    Until it becomes mandated and I can't drive. I enjoy driving. I also understand most people would take the alternative to having to do it themselves if given the chance. Which is good, because a lot of them suck at driving. Of course, I'll die, and this generation will be fine with it because they grew up with it.

  8. Everything was open source on Robert Bunsen, Open Source Pioneer? · · Score: 2

    Before patents. The real lesson here is people were obtaining patents on things they didn't invent even back then.

  9. Things like this... on Internet Abbreviations Added To Oxford Dictionary · · Score: 2

    Make me REALLY hate time travellers.

  10. Can we expect... on Breaking Into the Super Collider · · Score: 2

    A fourty page, peer reviewed paper on how their application of force against the garage door they broke in through will revolutionize breaking and entering?

  11. To be fair... on Iran Unveils Flying Saucer Using Old B-Movie Stock Photo · · Score: 1

    Had they actually completed such a task, they'd be able to gain the allegiance of a few American cities, wholesale.

  12. Re:Fair enough on Texas Bill Outlaws Discrimination Against Creationists In Academia · · Score: 0

    According to their made up degrees they got at Christian bible studying universities, they ARE scientists! THEY ARE THEY ARE THEY ARE! (Repeat until you believe it.)

  13. Lasers on NASA Wants To Zap Space Junk With Lasers · · Score: 1

    Is there any problem they CAN'T fix?

  14. Re:Johnny Northside is not a victim. on Blogger Fined $60K For Telling the Truth · · Score: 1

    So because you don't like him, he should be punished with bad laws? The ACLU would like to have a word with you. Civil liberties aren't for YOU, they're to protect others from you.

  15. Re:As an example on Blogger Fined $60K For Telling the Truth · · Score: 1

    What? That's how the current system works. Why do you think we have so many repeat offenders? It's because the prison industry is built to bring those people right back in. So people being marked for life because of an earlier crime happens all the time. And I thought you still had to mention you were once a criminal on your resume even if you were declared innocent later. So yes, bringing up the past is standard practice.

  16. If anyone follows OSHA... on NASA Worker Falls To His Death On Launch Pad · · Score: 2

    It's gotta be NASA. How did this happen?

  17. This is news? on Kinect Self-Awareness Hack · · Score: 1

    Because it looks like comedy. In fact, it is comedy, and not news. It's not news about comedy either, just comedy. Which is tragic.

  18. Was first on Rock Paper Shotgun on Old Man Murray Wikipedia Controversy Continues · · Score: 1

    And I was figuring it'd be the last place we heard about it. Slow news day? Or... month? Since it was restored a while ago. It's certainly notable, and the moderator that wants it gone is just on a power trip. So, yeah. Whateva.

  19. Re:Thank goodness for NOAA on Tsunami Warnings Now Faster, More Accurate · · Score: 1

    Well, telling someone something enough times can actually get them to believe it, otherwise no one would think Obama is Kenyan. Repeat something too much, and you begin to believe it yourself. Anyways, he, or one of his "friends" probably has a private company ready to take over as soon as the NOAA funding is cut. They'll only charge two to twelve times the original price- what a steal!

  20. They don't need to care on Game Maker Says 40% of iTunes In-App Buys Are Fraud · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With their 80% market share.

  21. Holy Hooves, Batman! on US Lawyers Target Swedish Pirate, and His Unicorn · · Score: 5, Funny

    They have UNICORNS in Sweden?!

  22. Re:Pfft on Disarm Internet Trolls, Gently · · Score: 1

    I think you mean "frightfully magnanimous".

  23. No no no on Is Apple Turning Into the Next "Evil Empire"? · · Score: 1

    See, the author of the article is actually a time traveller from the distant past who is just now realizing what the blood sacrifice he made was for.

  24. They need Pringles cans? on Ask Slashdot: Could We Reconnect Eastern Libya? · · Score: 1

    So you're saying America can singlehandedly save this country by dumping garbage on them?

  25. Re:Whatever he is, it isn't a whistleblower on Bradley Manning Charged With Aiding the Enemy · · Score: 1, Interesting

    How about you define patriotic? Last I checked, torturing people wasn't actually part of our big Stars and Stripes and fireworks and what have you extravaganza that is this nation.
