  1. Re:Prequel on In Maryland, a Soviet-Style Punishment For a Novelist · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Are school shootings really a social issue? I don't think it has either a hashtag nor a dedicated jezebel columnist, so how can we be sure?

  2. Re:consumption on Radioactive Wild Boars Still Roaming the Forests of Germany · · Score: 1

    The ecosystem is not affected by radioactive boars; the ecosystem causes boars to become radioactive. There is therefore no way in which this affects the ecosystem, and is therefore not a problem. Meanwhile, people eating contaminated food is an actual problem, as the summary rightfully mentions.

  3. Re:Silver lining on Radioactive Wild Boars Still Roaming the Forests of Germany · · Score: -1, Troll

    That's a pretty disrespectful way to refer to fat chicks.

  4. This is just straight unjust on Deputy Who Fatally Struck Cyclist While Answering Email Will Face No Charges · · Score: 1

    You should not get preferential treatment in the eyes of the law based on your place of employment. It really is that simple.

  5. Re:Alliteration fail :( on Hacker Disrupts New Zealand Election Campaign · · Score: 1

    ... facing future formal financial findings (pending investigation)

  6. Rawsharking up the wrong tree on Hacker Disrupts New Zealand Election Campaign · · Score: 1

    This is clearly a specialist sushi afficionado and not a vigilante emulator.

  7. Re:CHIROPRACTIC on Magnetic Stimulation Boosts Memory In Humans · · Score: 1

    The malleus maleficarum has a definition of witches, that doesn't mean witches exist.

  8. Re:CHIROPRACTIC on Magnetic Stimulation Boosts Memory In Humans · · Score: 1

    By the laws of Homeopathy, that makes it 1000 times more powerful.

  9. Re:CHIROPRACTIC on Magnetic Stimulation Boosts Memory In Humans · · Score: 2

    Hmm, your belief in chiropraxy seems to be a symptom of a transfinite nth-dimensional neurotronic gluocyte infestation. You're lucky I read your post when I did; continued belief could have caused severe cognitive limitation and/or deficiency, but, out of the goodness of my heart, for only 49,99$ a month, I will make sure to safeguard you from continued influence by daily astral projection sessions.

    (tl;dr: chiropractic subluxation is a thing that does not exist)

  10. You realize drones are flying cars right? on Google Testing Drone Delivery System: 'Project Wing' · · Score: 1

    Pulled through the mangle of reality. The future is now.

  11. Re:Planescape: Torment on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection? · · Score: 1

    Good story, terrible gameplay.

  12. Re:Try Go (Wei-chi, Baduk). on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection? · · Score: 1

    Much less tractable than chess, anyway.

  13. Dark Souls/DS II, Baldur's gate II on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Baldur's gate II is the best of the infinity engine games, all of which are already great. Dark Souls and Dark Souls II have the best method of story delivery in any RPG I've ever seen, as well as easily the most engaging and immersive combat. To illustrate, when I was fighting one of DSII's new DLC bosses recently I did something I hadn't done since I first picked up a controller: I moved my physical body to dodge an incoming blow, instead of pressing the relevant button. The last time I did that I was 7 years old and jumping on goombas. It's that good.

  14. Re:I blamed the colored chalk! on Limiting the Teaching of the Scientific Process In Ohio · · Score: 1

    Easily spotted as an american because you're mixing French and English

  15. Idiots with power on Limiting the Teaching of the Scientific Process In Ohio · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If we make sure we don't teach our students how to think, acquiring a larger voting base will be much easier in the future!

  16. Prior art on Whole Organ Grown In Animal For First Time · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have been growing whole, working organs in my own body since at least 1984.

  17. Re:It's easy to troll gamers. on Is Dong Nguyen Trolling Gamers With "Swing Copters"? · · Score: 1

    Pro-click zone right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  18. Re:They're not gamers. on Among Gamers, Adult Women Vastly Outnumber Teenage Boys · · Score: 1

    I'm not a kid and I think the predicate "gamer" has something to do with the kind of games you play. Now what, msobkow. Now what.

  19. Enjoyment while reading ebooks on Do Readers Absorb Less On Kindles Than On Paper? Not Necessarily · · Score: 1

    E-readers are easier to hold in my hands, especially when it comes to long (in terms of pages) or small (in terms of physical size) books. I also like that I can read in the dark with my e-reader because it has a backlit screen.

    It's easier to turn the page of normal books, though. It's also much easier to skip around between large numbers of pages.

  20. Re:Cut out the middle man! on Solar Plant Sets Birds On Fire As They Fly Overhead · · Score: 1

    I don't have mod points right now so I have to thank you unanonymously for making me laugh.

  21. "maker" is the worst fucking word on At Home with Tim O'Reilly (Videos 1 and 2 of 6) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why don't my turds count as things that I make? They're perfectly organic, reproducible by anyone on earth, and individualized to my specific colon.

  22. Techniques handed down from centuries ago on FarmBot: an Open Source Automated Farming Machine · · Score: 1

    Like tractors and fertilizer.

  23. Re:Quarantine vs. being stubborn on Ebola Quarantine Center In Liberia Looted · · Score: 1

    Guess that means something else is to blame for destroying your ability to judge the scope of modifiers.

  24. Re:Does it matter? on Plan Would Give Government Virtual Veto Over Internet Governance · · Score: 1

    I live in a small country in Europe. Even if I were to make an attempt at some kind of extremely diluted exertion of power by casting my vote for a nationally elected representative, it would still not amount to anything, because we have close to no power internationally.

  25. Does it matter? on Plan Would Give Government Virtual Veto Over Internet Governance · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's not like I can exert influence over either governments or the ICANN in any way, shape or form.
