  1. Re:Few to admit it, but a lot of parents teach thi on Internet Responds To Racist Article, Gets Author Fired · · Score: 1

    Only because the Irish are too busy drinking and fighting to notice the influx.

  2. Re:Sanity vs. politically motivated scaremongering on NOAA Study: Radiation From Fukushima Very Dilluted, Seafood Safe · · Score: 5, Funny

    "the results were from NOAA, which doesn't have a horse in the race"

    It has two in the ark.

  3. Re:never happen in real life on NYC Bans Mention of Dinosaurs, Dancing, Birthdays On Student Tests · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not so. Shabbat elevators can be found all over NYC.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabbat_elevator

    For those buildings where the True Believer nutjobs can't afford such a fancy elevator, they can simply bring in a Shabbat goy - a non-Jew to do the "work" of button pushing for them.

    The world is not so small as to be comprised of only "urban legends" outside your realm of experience.

  4. Re:Dinosaurs, with Trilobites attached? on HP To Combine PC, Printer Divisions · · Score: 1

    "It provides tactile touch (psychological), portability, ability to sort, and real life collaboration and communication."

    You left out its all-important chimpanzee nipple slicing ability.

  5. I inherited a naming sheme on Server Names For a New Generation · · Score: 1

    Our servers are named after dances. Tons of good names to choose from, some of which sometimes relate tangentially to function. Unfortunately the British bosses put the kibosh on "shag." It would have been such a dirty little DMZ box...

  6. Re:Perhaps study these treatments scientifically? on Growth of Pseudoscience Harming Australian Universities · · Score: 1

    "Studies have repeatedly shown that prayer helps in hospital situations"

    Cite for that? Or did you just hear it from your voodoo priestess and take it as gospel? 'Cuz the most recent study I've seen says the opposite:

  7. Re:Robo-calls make me avoid your product. on Santorum Defends Robocalls To Democrats · · Score: 1

    With the exception of the log cabin folks, most homosexuals tend to favor Democrats. So it's most likely that quite a few Democrats *do* like santorum (as that word is defined by google search).

  8. Re:I'd claim the same on Defendant Ordered To Decrypt Laptop Claims She Had Forgotten Password · · Score: 1

    Yes, fMRI. I understand it works brilliantly in extracting passwords from dead salmon. But if you *really* want to get that password, you ought to try my magical password-extracting lint ball. I'll sell it to you for well under the cost of an MRI scanner...

  9. Re:Home porn videos? on Ask Slashdot: Money-Making Home-Based Tech Skills? · · Score: 1

    In the category of home porn videos, donkey work definitely costs extra.

  10. In fairness, on Foreign Data Unsafe From US Patriot Act, Says American Law Firm · · Score: 4, Funny

    nobody expected the Spanish opposition.

  11. Re:You're allowed to Hate Whitey on Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name · · Score: 1

    "Please, feel free to point out any of the world's ills that were not caused by rich whitey. I dare you."

    AIDS. What do I win?

  13. Re:This device empowers criminals. on NYPD Developing Portable Body Scanner For Detecting Guns · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If they're only talking about scanning people they arrest, why do they want the capability to scan from over 80 feet away?

  14. I hope it fries their gonads on NYPD Developing Portable Body Scanner For Detecting Guns · · Score: 1

    like some early radar guns did.

    NYC's "zero tolerance" bullshit on handguns is pure idiocy.

  15. Re:Nice, but... on Town Turns Off the Lights To See the Stars · · Score: 1

    Perhaps your spell checker is catching your actual misspelling, repeated twice in the above post? "Lernt" != "learnt."

  16. Re:Weight? on Is Jupiter Dissolving Its Rocky Core? · · Score: 1

    That is totally not what I meant by "go pound sand."

  17. close, but no cigar on Meet the Strange Bedfellows Who Could Stop SOPA · · Score: 2

    "The mindset of drawing battle lines in terms of 'right' and 'left' is what has allowed politicians to move steadily into lobbyist pockets (like hermit crabs) for the past 30 years"

    The mindset of viewing money as speech, and thus allowing 0.05 percent of the citizenry of the US to fund all political campaigns is what has moved our critters into the lobbyists pockets. The only practical solution to this is to legislate that all elections are State-funded, and any outside money found in any campaign is the end of that campaign. The problem is, how do you legislate this when the 0.05 percent of the citizenry currently funding campaigns opposes such reform quite loudly with their billions of dollars worth of "speech?"

  18. Work in a war zone. on Ask Slashdot: Working As an IT Contractor In a War Zone? · · Score: 2

    I hear Zynga will be hiring soon.

  19. Re:I have a vision... on Scientists Create World's Smallest Steam Engine · · Score: 1

    Just out of curiosity, what else would you grown a beard with? Bees?

  20. Re:sales dampened themselves: the car sucks on GM, NHTSA Delayed Volt Warnings To Prop Up Sales · · Score: 2

    VW, Mercedes and BMW would take issue with that (incorrect) assertion. The sole reason most manufacturers don't sell their diesel cars in the US (this includes GM and Ford) is the perception that Americans won't buy them. A lie that should have been put to rest by the success of VW with their newer common-rail TDIs.

  21. Re:Those darn TV shows on Iranian TV Shows Downed US Drone · · Score: 0

    The only dancing the current Iranian government would ever want to see from the Shahs would be at the end of a rope.

  22. Re:Old IT Maxim on Does Outsourcing Programming Really Save Money? · · Score: 1

    That's the crusty, weathered December 2009 issue tucked into the back of the magazine rack in the basement men's room, isn't it?

  23. Re:See. Patents/Copyright spur innovation. on Patent Expires On Best Selling Drug of All Time · · Score: 1

    Boner pills are a *great* example of drug companies profiting from publicly-funded research. Robert Furchgott at SUNY Downstate laid the foundation for this class of drug with his NIH-funded research. He won the Nobel for his work. But Pharma got the profits.

  24. Re:Coming to the market in 5 years time? on Research Promises Drastically Increased LiOn Capacity · · Score: 1

    Fly car - must be the Fiat former fly girl J Lo is driving these days.

  25. Re:Enough on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 2

    Dear crispy jeezus, really? You might want to take a remedial civics class yourself. DOJ is an Executive Branch office, run by an Obama-appointed cunt by the name of Eric Holder.
