  1. Re:This is a surprise? on Microsoft Security Essentials Loses AV-Test Certificate · · Score: 1

    I did until I read this.

  2. Re:Love GoG on GOG: How an Indie Game Store Took On the Pirates and Won · · Score: 1

    I actually find it preferable to steam. Nothing to install. Just download your game.

  3. Re:Are we still dragging this out? on Search For "Foolproof Suffocation" Missed In Casey Anthony Case · · Score: 1

    Not guilty != innocent. She could be guilty but never found out.

  4. Re:No Death Penalty on Search For "Foolproof Suffocation" Missed In Casey Anthony Case · · Score: 0

    We should do it the North Korean way. You won't feel a thing when that mortar hits you. No burial costs either.

  5. Re:Exit node malware coming soon on "Anonymous" File-Sharing Darknet Ruled Illegal By German Court · · Score: 5, Insightful

    About two days ago.

  6. Re:Why not SPARE the turkey (and yourself) on Ask Slashdot: Geekiest Way To Cook a Turkey? · · Score: 1

    Turkeys are fearless killing machines.

  7. Re:Why not SPARE the turkey (and yourself) on Ask Slashdot: Geekiest Way To Cook a Turkey? · · Score: 2

    You're absolutely right. That's why many choose to do the humane thing and hunt them instead.

  8. Re:One idea on Ask Slashdot: How Should Tech Conferences Embrace Diversity? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why is diversity even an issue? Isn't this about the content of what they are saying? Why should we care what race they are as long as the information is useful and interesting?

  9. Re:investigating pigeon shootings on Activists' Drone Shot Out of the Sky For Fourth Time · · Score: 1

    I am not a redneck, but in my experience they like more of a challenge than boxed pigeons.

  10. Re:Over private property? on Activists' Drone Shot Out of the Sky For Fourth Time · · Score: 0

    You have no right to the air above your property. Tough cookies, bro. Don't get me wrong, I own firearms and hunt, but this is an abuse of that right. The SHARK people are assholes as well, but they're within the limits of the law.

  11. Re:*different* scores for *standardized* tests on With NCLB Waiver, Virginia Sorts Kids' Scores By Race · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not really anti-white from where I'm standing. It's more like an excuse to not work with black or Hispanic kids because a higher rate of failure is acceptable for them. It really is the worst kind of racism.

  12. Re:What's the plot? on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 1

    That prosthesis looked like a hand when installed. Lucas did have planed for Luke to succumb to the dark side. Then again, it might just be bullshit.

  13. Re:Because it worked so well before on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 2

    They will manage somehow.

  14. Re:Simple... on Are We Getting Smarter? Rising IQ Scores In the Twenty-First Century · · Score: 5, Funny

    If babies are so intelligent, how come they shit themselves. Check-mate.

  15. Re:Or... on 72% of Xbox 360 Gamers Approve of "More Military Drone Strikes" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sure, you don't have to be twelve to have a child's intellect.

    Or manchildren.

  17. Re:Or... on 72% of Xbox 360 Gamers Approve of "More Military Drone Strikes" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We should also consider the fact that gamers are not exactly a monolithic group. There's a lot of twelve year olds that scream bitch at you when they beat you. I doubt this has anything to do with the game and more with the baseline of the gamer group. Ask a group of children the same question and you'll get similar answers.

  18. Re:So? on Alan Cox to NVIDIA: You Can't Use DMA-BUF · · Score: 1

    Why does that matter? All that matters is that I have a perfectly usable set of computers that do what I want. I don't care if dear old gran or my neighbor uses it. I hope they would for their own benefit, but I don't care if they don't.

  19. Re:Welcome to the Machine on DARPA Unveils System Using Human Brains For Computer Vision · · Score: 4, Funny

    Think about it. Robocop will soon be a documentary.

  20. Re:great! on Fusion Power Breakthrough Near At Sandia Labs? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Some people would take that as a challenge.

  21. Re:Give them away on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Found Calculators? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'd say give them to students that look like they have need for them and no way to get one, though the idea of just using them in-class is pretty good. Maybe make a prize out of it?

  22. If I make a will, I think I will leave my games to these people. It's good that the games can keep getting used.

  23. Re:Don't demonize opponents on Romney Taps Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    I used to skip class all the time and I turned out fine. Haha.

  24. Re:Don't demonize opponents on Romney Taps Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan As Running Mate · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't understand why people keep asking about grades when the man graduated summa cum laude. You don't get that on poor grades.

  25. Re:How hard can it be? on The Tricky Science of Olympic Gender Testing · · Score: 1

    It's about competing with your peers. Women want to best women, and men want to best men. As a man, I wouldn't be satisfied with beating a bunch of women at weight lifting, because I'm obviously better than a majority of them, and they wouldn't be happy, because they simply don't care. Their bodies are not like mine, no matter how much they try, so they'll compete with each other. As for mathematics, I'm not sure that men really do have better mathematical ability, though that is certainly a possibility. It might be that male culture is just more obsessive about such things, or that men just have more natural drive.
