  1. Two words on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Fix the Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Linux Bob

  2. Ford F150 on NASA's Giant Crawler-Transporter Is Getting an Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Makes my Ford F150 Pickup seem inadequate.

  3. TEXAS on Texas Opens Fastest US Highway With 85 MPH Limit · · Score: 1

    This is entirely in keeping with my home state of Texas. It's fitting that they did it in Austin, I'm sure all those drunk Texas good ole boys in the legislature enjoy the idea of driving their F150 pickups and Cadillacs at 95mph up the new highway. It's in the same league as the Molly Ivins story about the representative who got a rest area approved on a highway outside his home district so that he could change his patent leather shoes before arriving home. Couldn't let his constituents see him in his fancy duds. They know this means more highway deaths. You can also have a concealed hand as you drive 85 up the new highway. TEXAS!

  4. Start Button on Windows Phone 8 SDK — By Appointment Only · · Score: 2

    They forgot to include the start button. It will be available for $4.95, or its free if you buy a new XBOX 360.

  5. Re:Christianity on Science Wins Over Creationism In South Korea · · Score: 1

    Found several pages using the Augustine quote, none referencing it in his writings unfortunately. City of God I would imagine. "We will pray to Aphrodite She's beautiful but flighty In her silken see-thru nightie She's good enough for me. "

  6. Christianity on Science Wins Over Creationism In South Korea · · Score: 3, Interesting

    According to the Wikipedia page, Christianity came to South Korea in the 17th century. When the more obnoxious form of modern fundamentalist Christianity arrived, with anti-science creationism, I'm not sure. Or maybe that statement is a bit ridiculous, since anti-science creationism is part of the original philosophy. Does anyone have any insight into the history of this form of evangelical Christianity? There is now a Korea Association for Creation Research, whose history I'd like to know more about. I imagine they have some tie to the Institute for Creation Research. Creationism, setting science education back by several centuries.

  7. Year Zero on Chinese Students Say They Are Being Forced To Build Your Next iPhone · · Score: 1, Redundant

    This is the year zero. The previous education you received is cultural pollution. Steve Jobs is a deity. Begin learning the new revolutionary doctrine of iPhone 5.

  8. Vista Gremlins on GNOME 3.6 To Include Major Revisions · · Score: 2

    I've been running Vista on my computer at home for years. No GNOMEs yet, but plenty of gremlins.

  11. Re:Straw man on The UK's New Minister For Magic · · Score: 1

    Who said anything about the Middle Ages? There's nothing referencing the Middle Ages in my post. You seem to believe in a caricature of the geeks on slashdot who go around with misconceptions of the Middle Ages from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

  12. Re:Cease and desist on Google Awarded Face-To-Unlock Patent · · Score: 1

    I regret to inform you that your patent, Slashdot Patent 2019.42.1337, was superceded by my own patent 1446.32.5412, filed September 2, 1996, "Instantaneous Moderation of all my comments to Maximum Rating." I will however forego all Slashdot's current intellectual policy violations in exchange for a settlement of one used Commodore 64 (with working disk drive) and a large cheese pizza (not Totino's) please.

  13. Re:It does work on The UK's New Minister For Magic · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the use of placebetrinos cause fluctuations in the prefrontal cortex that can lead to Groupthink? Or does the dihydrogen monoxide mitigate that effect?

  14. Hold still on The UK's New Minister For Magic · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hold still, I have to place the leech in just the right spot to suck the evil spirit out.

  15. Cease and desist on Google Awarded Face-To-Unlock Patent · · Score: 5, Funny

    This story has been posted in violation of my patent 9336.121.354 (European Union patent 983123.4120.123.31234.412), patent on the posting of information on patents using patented or nonpatented electronic devices. I will settle for the sum of $54.24 or a used Samsung Galaxy SII. Also, please see my earlier post regarding your violation of patent regarding the posting of stories over the Web regarding patents.

  20. Re:Technology on Should We Print Guns? Cody R. Wilson Says "Yes" (Video) · · Score: 1

    I was just being sarcastic. Any new techonolgy comes into existence and people look for ways to put it to destructive use. See atomic power. It powers a city, it exterminates one.

  21. Technology on Should We Print Guns? Cody R. Wilson Says "Yes" (Video) · · Score: 1

    The Chinese were so ignorant they thought gunpowder was useful for making delightful colors in the sky to amuse people. It took a genius to see the killer app, making round metal balls that fly through people. I guess that's literally a killer app. Go technology.
