  1. It won't be approved on FDA Closer To Approving Biotech Salmon · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They are opening it up for public comment. Americans distrust science when there is no risk at all. If people get riled up over vaccines, genetically modified fish ought to start quite the fire.

  2. Re:News for nerds? Stuff that matters? on Steve Jobs' Yacht Impounded In Amsterdam · · Score: 1

    Ahahahahahaha. "Relevant". "News". Oh my god I want to put you in a tiny christmas sweater and plop a chihuahua on your lap and take photos for cuteoverload.

  3. Re:Impossible on Google Chrome 25 Will Disable Silent Extension Installation · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Stopping "nice" extensions is a step forward. This will make it difficult for 3rd party app developers who wanted to sneak extensions into Chrome to continue business as usual. Microsoft and malware authors will probably find ways to work around it, true. But reigning in bad behavior by people who otherwise play by the rules is still progress.

  4. Re:HR will be HR on The Trials and Tribulations of a Would-Be Facebook Employee · · Score: 1

    Never count on meeting an intelligent person is HR

    Between that and the term "pink ghetto", you are clearly an expert to be trusted.

  5. Re:Does anyone really care any more? on After 12 years of Development, E17 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Eye candy above all else is clearly not their philosophy. Check out their site: "Beauty without sacrifice, and all the options you can eat" is their philosophy. What a wonderful and needed philosophy to introduce into the linux UX ecosystem.

  6. Dear Investment Opportunity Wyden on Net Neutrality Bill Aimed At ISP Data Caps Introduced In US Senate · · Score: 3, Funny

    Let's cut to the chase. In the modern political arena our money faces no obstacles whatsoever. It is up to you whether that money supports you in your next run for office or pours into your precious state decimating not only your own campaign but every other congress critter down-ticket along party lines. Not that we enjoy threatening our investment opportunities, far from it. Its just business.

    Hugs and Kisses,

    ISPs

  7. He must annoy his kids on Drone Made of Lego Takes Flight · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Daaaaaaad, stop taking my legos!!!"
    "Sorry champ, Daddy has dreams."

  8. Re:Removing a Mod on Huge Security Hole In Recent Samsung Devices · · Score: 1

    Hahahaha, this getting modded down amuses kitty.

  9. Removing a Mod on Huge Security Hole In Recent Samsung Devices · · Score: 0

    Commenting to remove an accidental mod, a sad mistake that caused many tears.

  10. Re:good luck with that on Dell Gives Android the Boot, Boots Up More Windows 8 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I would watch the shit out of that commercial.

  11. Re:And yet... on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    False. Laws requiring psychiatric evaluation would make it harder. Your use of the phrase "logical fallacy" is itself fallacious. The logic can be sound even if you disagree with the conclusion.

  12. Re:Modern Luddites on Is Technology Eroding Employment? · · Score: 1

    Hahahaha. Europe? Seriously though, as we grow more productive, the trend has been (and will probably continue) to be demanding more results. Rather than leading to more unemployment, it will lead to employers expecting more product delivered faster.

  13. Re:I said on Ban On Loud TV Commercials Takes Effect Today · · Score: 1

    You already got modded up, but may I just say how amazing that analogy is?

  14. Re:Yeah.. and? on Ubuntu Community Manager: RMS's Post Seems a Bit Childish To Me · · Score: 1

    Even for the folks using the version based on Ubuntu: "Hi! I'm using a downstream version of your product that removes the software I take issue with, and keeps the parts I like. The removed software also happens to be a source of cash." is very different from "I'm using your product."

  15. Strange Love for Neurons on Australian Police Warn That Apple Maps Could Get Someone Killed · · Score: 1

    Readily accessible? BAH! I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

  16. Re:please clarify on F-16 Engines Stolen From Israeli Air Base · · Score: 1

    This. Maybe we should avoid giving countries weapons and money and saying "good luck with that". If we stuck to diplomacy it would at least be cheaper and less risky.

  17. Re:Yeah.. and? on Ubuntu Community Manager: RMS's Post Seems a Bit Childish To Me · · Score: 2

    We can avoid using Ubuntu (typing this on Mint currently), and also criticize them publicly to let them know *why* we are leaving. Otherwise they might think its for an entirely different reason, and that might change how they respond (if at all).

  18. Re:Automation and Unemployment on A US Apple Factory May Be Robot City · · Score: 1

    Hahaha, true: "My logical abilities *is* atrocious". Your proof are MOST compelling my good man, MOST COMPELLING INDEED.

  19. Re:It's their binary. on Ubuntu 13.04 Will Allow Instant Purchasing, Right From the Dash · · Score: 1

    Its certainly part of the point of open source. We are free to criticize it, fork it, and move away from it. That too is part of the point of open source. Its a bazaar (though sometimes it feels like competing open air cathedrals).

  20. Re:Automation and Unemployment on A US Apple Factory May Be Robot City · · Score: 1

    He provided a counterexample. The argument by FsG was "automation will reduce costs". The counterpoint by Mr Superman is "no, companies are greedy and will keep prices as is, apple is a counterexample to your argument". A single counterexample is all it takes to say "hey, this argument isn't on the ball."

    As a shoe shining socialist from the 1920s I disagree with everything you said.

  22. Re:Reminds me of an RPG trope... on Nintendo Puts a Bedtime On Wii U Content In Europe · · Score: 5, Funny

    And the elf village's lone Item store languished in the ensuing economic downturn. The nearby hall of the dwarves, however, was a picture of success and wealth. Their bold "all hours shopping" policy meant I could buy potions whether I was stumbling in from a late night dungeon raid or looking for something to help with my morning monster-ridden constitutional.

  23. Coexisting for Perspective on Ask Slashdot: Old Technology Coexisting With New? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have a few old devices I keep by my modern equipment for perspective. You know, a sundial, a vcr, and an iphone 4.

  24. Re:Don't you love on EU Resists US Lobbying As Privacy War Looms · · Score: 1

    To be fair, governments should not work for the corporations, they should work for the people who elected them.
    Heck, if politicians always lobbied for corporations regardless of how harmful the result, they would be accused of not doing their jobs back home. Indeed, this is one of the increasingly common criticisms of elected officials.
    Certainly, when companies and politicians engage in something for something exchanges, that, for me, needs to be called out as corruption and opposed. That is exactly what lobbying has become.

  25. A Positive Move on Disney Switching To Netflix For Exclusive Film Distribution · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As more content providers embrace streaming, they are going to where customers want to buy their data. I hope more companies follow their lead, they allow for multiple distributors (sucks if you have amazon prime and not netflix and it is an exclusive deal), and distributors make sure they support the big three platforms. Hopes aside, this is a good step in the right direction.
