  1. Re:I'm a Bit Confused on US Democrats Accidentally Publish Whistleblowers' Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    What, you've never heard of the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy?

  2. No, no, no! That's not how you do it! on US Democrats Accidentally Publish Whistleblowers' Email Addresses · · Score: 4, Funny

    You meant: US Democrats "Accidentally" Publish Whistleblowers' Email Addresses (Note the scare quotes) Now *that*'s a Slashdot headline.

  3. SotD on Meteorite Causes Illness in Peru · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm off to the Winchester.

  4. Space: China, India, and Private Entrepreneurs on The Next Fifty Years In Space · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The European Union Canada, and US governments have basically turned into nanny states, more interested in the distribution of health-care dollars and the care and feeding of old people. You know, the people who vote the most.

    Given that these governments are basically huge wealth-transfer pumps, taking from the producers and giving to the consumers, with no room for anything else, I expect nothing from them but decline.

    India and China aren't burdened like this - yet, so I expect much of the work to come from them. I also expect more from private individuals like Jeff Bezos.

    But from the ESA, or NASA, I expect nothing.

  5. Apple Owners are Huge! on iPhone Bill a Whopping 52 Pages Long · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Well, their carbon footprints, anyway.

  6. BFD on USPTO Increases Scope Of Amazon's 1-Click Patent · · Score: 1

    Somebody claims to own something kinda cool, so somebody invents something cooler.

    It's not *fundamental*, so watch it become worthless.

    I love that sensual, sand through the fingers, feeling.

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

  7. Re:"attempts to outlaw the already illegal NSA wir on White House Derails Attempts to End Illegal Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!

  8. "attempts to outlaw the already illegal NSA wireta on White House Derails Attempts to End Illegal Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    Does anyone read these summaries before posting them?

    If the wiretaps are already illegal, then there's no need for further legislation. As for the White House tactics, well, that's life in the big city.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I get it. It's a story about Chimpy Bushitler Mc Halliburton. In that case, pitchforks, tumbrils, and guillotines. Immediately.

  9. If the lower-cost version is already planned.... on How Big Will the iPhone Become? · · Score: 1

    ...why buy the high-priced version?

    I'll just wait.

    p.s. If enough people take this tack, then there will be no iPhone at all.

  10. Hire Grandpa Simpson on Shutting Down Annoying Recruiters? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere -- like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Give me five bees for a quarter,' you'd say.
            "Now where were we? Oh yeah -- the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..."

  11. Wow! on Top 25 Censored Stories of 2007 · · Score: 1

    All that text looks REALLY REALLY important.

    Having actually read it, howver, it actually looks vacuous.

    I encourage you to write after your verbal diarrhea has, you know, dried up. Take a pill, or something. Or get laid.

    Condense your philosophy to a working sentense, and Christ!!! how the money will roll in.

    Good kuck

  12. Huh! on Bookstore Owner Burns Books · · Score: 1

    Well, I'll be up that way during the Louisville Lebowskifest. I'll make sure to incinerate at least one body, and one car, as I play with the nihilists.

  13. Halliburton is now no longer a US company. on Top 25 Censored Stories of 2007 · · Score: 1

    It's gone somewhere else. Mostly to escape Ted Kennedy. A move I respect. I mean, do *you* want to end up drowned in a car owned by a Democrat candidate for President, with you panties in the glove compartment?

    Yeah, I'd make a break for Bermuda too.

    Just want to know so I can check whether your cranio-rectal inversion is a record-maker.

  18. Damn! You're sensitive. on Top 25 Censored Stories of 2007 · · Score: 1

    Also, I think you might be a bit single-minded about why elections get lost.

    Personally, I think the US electorate looked at an utterly corrupt Republican Congress, asked itself whether it wanted the pikers or the professionals, and went with the professionals.
