  1. Re:Full Retard on Texas Bill Outlaws Discrimination Against Creationists In Academia · · Score: 1

    Yeah, no kidding. I needed this out when I was going through school. There were more than a few finals I would have tried the creationism answer on.

    And a correction to "Texas has gone full retard". It should actually be "Texas elected officials have gone full retard". And it really isn't that big of a step to 100% retard from 99.5% retard (the baseline requirement to be elected to public office in our current system).

  2. Re:Detection on AT&T Cracking Down On Unofficial iPhone Tethering · · Score: 1

    Well, we could always have a look at the source code and see if this is happening. Oh wait....

  3. Well... on How Do People Respond To Being Touched By a Robot? · · Score: 1

    I wager that there is a giant segment of slashdot that is dreaming of a day when a robotic Princess Leia or (insert scifi woman here) will be a reality. So, that's probably a enthusiastic "YES, please more touching"

  4. Re:Sous Vide on Ex-Microsoft CTO Writes $625 Cookbook · · Score: 1

    Sous Vide, huh? Maybe that's what I need to invest in. My mac and cheese with hot dogs cut up into it just hasn't had the kick it once did. I'll have to check if it will do ramen noodles too.

  5. The future is now on Browsers — the Gaming Platform of the Future? · · Score: 1

    I bet Farmville has got more players and greater user loyalty than almost all other electronic games. It may be a terrible game but it's still hugely popular. It really kinda sucks because the industry has moved away from making inventive games that are full of depth toward current trend of more casual gaming.

  6. How it really works on Kidney Printer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It gets the command to print a new kidney.
    It reports that it will be ready it 48 hours.
    It flies down to Mexico.
    Some unsuspecting tourist wakes up in a bathtub of ice.
    You get a new kidney.

  7. Re:The year 2000 called... on Software Matches Police Sketches To Mugshots · · Score: 0

    Yeah, but they can also join that mugshot database to a real-time database of security camera stills from every security camera in the world and then join that to real-time database of slurpie purchases to narrow the dataset down to a single record that contains every bit of demographic data about this person from eye color to boxers or briefs.

  8. Ah... it's a profit deal on Piracy In Developing Countries Driven By High Prices · · Score: 0

    It is truly a shock to find out that piracy is a for-profit venture. I thought those people just had a lot of blank media that they hated to see go to waste.

    What's next, I suppose all those politicians and salesmen weren't just telling what I wanted to hear and corporations aren't strictly altruistic ventures.

  9. Everybody Wins on Can For-Profit Tech Colleges Be Trusted? · · Score: 0

    I had a boss who got both a bachelors and masters degree from american intercontinental university. It seems like he maybe got both degrees (some sort of IT/Security nonsense) the same year too or only one year apart so that might be a red flag. His application of security techniques was terrible in the code he wrote. They may have tried but it didn't take in his case. But that being said, I guess it worked out well for him. He got a Manager/Lead job with little experience. He was also friends with the division VP and several other people the VP had hired too.

    I guess it worked out for me too. I challenged some of his decisions and he resented that so I got all sorts of crap and a good job became downright painful. I went an got a better job and a better wage.

  10. Re:I sort of hate people that buy these... on Intel's New Core I7-990X Extreme Edition Tested · · Score: 0

    But they can execute 85% more HLT instructions than you while they view facebook. I've always been a value proponent when selecting computer hardware. I've got a $99 CPU that does everything I need.

    We've really hit the point where even the lowest end current generation CPU can run multiple desktop apps and are almost never limited by the CPU.

  11. Re:Horse on Episode I 3D Release Date Announced · · Score: 4, Funny

    They are gonna keep trying to bleed those films dry as long as the return is positive. It's kinda fun to see how far they'll take it as long as you don't spend any of your own money on it. I predict that the final release before they put this to bed will be the uber-enhanced ultra-digital 3D edition with unseen footage, enhanced audio, product placement (the Jawas will be selling droids with a marlboro red hanging off their lower lip, eating cheetos and wearing Nikes), and a special audio commentary by Jar Jar across all 6 episodes.

  12. Re:The wheel called on Quadruped CHEETAH Robot To Outrun Any Human · · Score: 0

    Shut up wheel, you cocky bastard. Of course you did all this stuff, but where's you cool cheetah picture? And what have you done for me lately? I guess I'll just jump in my car and go home.

  13. Yikes on Japanese Build Pocket Robot-Cellphone Hybrid · · Score: 0

    How long until I see this in some sort of ultra-disturbing pron from Japan?

  14. I share your fear on Ask Slashdot: Facebook Archiving? · · Score: 0

    I'm worried about a couple hundred animated gifs and flash widgets that I had piled on a myspace profile.

  15. Re:Are they kidding? on If App Store's Trademark Is Generic, So Is Windows' · · Score: 0

    That's personal opinion, of course. I, on the other hand, think that they wouldn't. You do need to realise that the only reason why Apple are doing this is because Microsoft are being such utter douchebags in the first place.

    This is slashdot. It's all opinion straight from your mom's basement to moms' basements across the world. And that's the way companies work, they try to find any weakness or avenue of attack on the other companies and then turn the lawyers loose. It's actually amazing that these companies have time to make any real products.

  16. Cheaper idea on Panasonic Launches Beautifying Camera · · Score: 0

    Just go with the picture that came with the frame.

  17. Great. on How Cyborg Tech Could Link the Minds of the World · · Score: 0

    Just what I needed, more crazy voices in my head.

  18. MST3K on Does Syfy Really Love Sci-Fi? · · Score: 0

    This was the only reason I watched them ever. What a brilliant show and probably the best thing I've seen on TV.

  19. Re:Who is laughing now? on Nokia and Open Source — a Trial By Fire · · Score: 0

    Yes. Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to chase ambulances in a single bound. Look, up in the sky, It's a bird, It's a rich guy in a three-piece suit and with hair plugs, It's Superlawyer!

  20. The way of the world on Apple in Talks to Improve Sound Quality of Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    This is the way that the world works. There is going to be a day when we will all be listening to 256 bit recordings, eating pizzas incorporating 15 different cheeses, watching 600inch screens with a resolution 16000x9000 from a distance of 8 feet, watering plants with brawndo (it's got what plants crave) and playing guitars with 5 necks hooked to amps that go to 11. Remember, that's the beauty of the number system, there's always a bigger number.

  21. Re:The pics make it look like a filthy shithole on The Uncertain Future of NYC's Last Arcade · · Score: 0

    I think that's just arcades in general.

  22. Re:All I read is: on Cell Phone Use Tied To Changes In Brain Activity · · Score: 0

    Yeah I'm getting together a suit made out of old cell phones. I'll call it something catchy and start selling it at 3am on cable channels. Maybe integrate it with a snuggy and shamwow and create the perfect infomercial product, "The Shamsnuggisizer." Now, if I can just find a place to add on a slap-chop.

  23. Re:what? on Ubuntu: Where Did the Love Go? · · Score: 0

    That's right I use a distro without a shell or any method of user interaction on my desktop.

  24. Re:slashdot: *world link farmers on Why You Shouldn't Reboot Unix Servers · · Score: 0

    "Semi-competent manager-types?" I'm not sure I can believe such far-fetched tales as this.

  25. Re:No late-night gaming on the internet? on Late Night Gaming Banned In Vietnam · · Score: 1

    I got to start hanging out with those kids. Do they know how to party or what?
