    Drat... give me the dunce cap.

  2. Anakin on NSF Researcher Suspended For Mining Bitcoin · · Score: 1
    I would've liked to take first the high ground,

    but since that ship has sailed,

    wasn't this bound to happen once the electricity costs of bitmining begun to damage profitability? Perhaps even before the Peak Coin event, using electricity and the resources of others was attractive to a certain type of miner...

    If George was alive to appreciate the comedic material fallen into his lap from this one, he would be twirling his fingers together like Mr Burns, chanting Excellent.

    Children aged 6 to 11 years...

    Second sentence...Great reading comprehension skills.

    As an aside, if this hypothesis were proven, would you subject your seven-year-old offspring to an appendectomy with a local anesthetic? Tough call.

    The Police are the civil servant equivalent of the 40ish divorced guy driving a Corvette.

    Big weapons? Tim Taylor grunt...we have big weapons.

  10. Re:How about Kindergarten? on Kim Dotcom Offers $5 Million Bounty To Defeat Extradition · · Score: 1

    If you sneak into a movie without paying, are you under any sort of impression that you've done nothing wrong?

    If it's not yours, don't take it without permission.

  12. Re:An interesting caveat on $57,000 Payout For Woman Charged With Wiretapping After Filming Cops · · Score: 1

    The police will more than likely create a training scenario for their officers that goes something like this:

    "...then, inform the person with the recording device that he or she resembles a robbery suspect..."

    Unrelated Carnac Moment: Someone will post that Don't Talk to the Police link on this thread.

  13. Re:Pointless on Thai Police: We'll Get You For Online Social Media Criticism · · Score: 2

    In order to actually talk to a website, you leave enough information behind to be found, especially with Tor infiltration.

    You simply aren't as clever as you think you are, even if you don't realize how easy it is to figure out who you are.

    Which is why it is vital that we not magnanimously accept its warrant-less use against us by our governors.

    All you need to know about us is in the title.

    I wish other things came so clearly marked.

    Like the woman who will break your things when she leaves or the guy on the street who really doesn't need a light for his cigarette.

  15. Re:Newegg did that too? on Patent Troll Ordered To Pay For the Costs of Fighting a Bad Patent · · Score: 1
    I suspect the site administrators are confounded by what they see as our Luddite preference for the Classic model.

    Their advanced intelligence allows the consideration of opposing opinions, and impairs the institution of a fascist implementation of the new format, but they're not diametrically opposed to making it difficult for you.

    And the threshold for submission to the company complaint box is 22 Never agains.

    Great post. I've been considering the GHG angle for planets too far from their suns for earth-like habitability since the Sunday rendition of Cosmos.

    We've discovered bacteria living inside nuclear reactors here on earth. There is life elsewhere in the universe... it is just statistically unlikely to resemble the flavor we are familiar with.

    IMHO, this life has significantly less chance for evolution to big-brained, universe explorer than we do.

    Well put.

    Bonus round, though: Life forms rendered by evolution in that environment will likely find fleshy meat-bags distasteful.

    Per Slashdot's unwritten rule, and there are more of them than in baseball, a poster may be generously moderated for jumping on the grenade that is reading the flocking article.

    To each their own, but I'd reconsider the hooker suggestion and just stick with the porn, there's no orgasm worth a lifetime affliction....

    There is one affliction worth the trouble. It's the one that eventually makes you a grandparent.

    And hell, by the time you have grandkids, you don't have to tell them what granny did for a living. It's like a Christmas lie.

  21. Re:Does Size Matter? on Study Finds Porn Exposure Associated With Smaller Brain Region · · Score: 1
    I'm not certain the two are mutually exclusive.

    Chances are, a person who possesses the physical characteristics most folks find attractive will have more opportunities to engage in the dance with no pants. If s/he turns down 90% of them, s/he may still have a more complete dance card than a discerning average-looking test subject with a 50% rejection rate.

    Does a greater number of partners equal greater probability of being referred to as Jezebel, the noble slut god?

  22. Do you give up higher cerebral function on Study Finds Porn Exposure Associated With Smaller Brain Region · · Score: 4, Insightful
    in exchange for instant gratification of a primal nature?

    Almost certainly.

    Don't worry though, the reason you'll prosper if you live long is because aging gradually erodes the hold your base urges have upon you.
