    It's a kdawson story. In order to have 'dropped the ball' you have to 'be on the ball' in the first place. Geeze.

  15. kdawson - no wonder on Ban On Photographing Near Gulf Oil Booms · · Score: 1

    There is no integrity here. It's a Kdawson post.

  16. Ammonia on Newly Discovered Bacteria Could Aid Oil Cleanup · · Score: 1

    Nice. New bacteria. I don't have time to go look it up, but somebody else might... I'm under the impression that the whole process of breaking down hydrocarbons eventually leads to a drastic increase in ammonia and related compounds, and severe oxygen depletion. Even (especially?) biological processes. Somebody once posted a nice short progression of the basic chemistry involved in a similar topic here on /. not too long ago.

    Ain't nothin' free. Break it down? It has to break down into something...

  17. Re:Of course it is. on Rumor of Betelgeuse's Death Greatly Exaggerated · · Score: 1

    I think that's quite enough already. And if anyone wants to go about dangling their participles, they might get snipped off.

  18. Daylight Savings Time on Rumor of Betelgeuse's Death Greatly Exaggerated · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else RTFA and notice that the original author concedes that 'The extra hour of light from daylight savings time won't burn the crops, but this might.' ??

    WTF? So - people freaked out over this new doom also accept that daylight savings time creates an extra hour of daylight. But that's ok - that won't burn the crops. 24 hours of daylight might.

    *sigh*.

    I think I'm going to become a Nigerian Prince in need of your assistance...

  19. All Time Low on Scientist Infects Self With Computer Virus · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For me, this post and summary is an all time low for Slashdot.

    Maybe if the summary had said "check out how stupid this is..."

    Geeze. C'mon. What if somebody has their abdomen opened up and puts an entire laptop in there? What's the difference?

    Tits or GTFO.

  21. Re:Not what they wanted to hear on Open Gov Tracker Reveals Best US Open Government Ideas · · Score: 1

    The digital letdown was when many of the top ideas generated by the process were to legalize marijuana, solve tax issues and to reinvestigate Obama's birth origins.

    So, in other words, they didn't get the answers they wanted to hear. What a "letdown."

    Fast forward to February 6 and the same process has been repeated with individual federal agencies as the subject. This time the idea generation has been much more productive, with ideas such as ...

    And "productive" means now they are.

    Perhaps it means the "birther" issue early on was conclusively and logically resolved beyond the doubt of all but the most ardent, hardened, rabid, nut-job conspiracy theorists. And that the marijuana issue is already a well known issue, and is incrementally making good progress towards legalization at the moment. Both issues old stuff, with only a tiny fraction of the most tenatious loud mouths beating the drum about them.

    There is always the internet phenom of the crazies shouting the loudest and longest. Just because somebody shouts louder and longer than anyone else doesn't make the ideas they shout any better. Neither does using all caps, bold face font, exclamation points, etc. etc. In fact the fringe usually just cause other people to go somewhere else with their ideas, thus doing a good job of regulating themselves by alienation.

    Original article and related web sites being a case in point.

    This doesn't mean people don't have a right to think and say what they want. It does mean that 'let down' results tend to get ignored, while more 'productive ideas' get attention.

  23. Re:Is anyone surprised? on Taxpayers Fund AIG Lawsuit Against US · · Score: 1

    Bu..buh.. but nationalizing banks, why thats... that's socialism!

    It doesn't have to be socialism. Temporarily nationalizing the banks is
    the same advice the WMF would give to any other country... except the US.
    Because we would scream 'socialism'. Nationalizing the banks to get them
    back on track, and them privatizing them again would be a good idea. It
    would probably even turn a profit for the Government. And it'd be cheaper
    than what is going on now.

  24. Actual Reality on Give Up the Fight For Personal Privacy? · · Score: 1

    Dude -

    If you feel ever more unconnected with your friends, maybe you should try actual reality instead of virtual reality. If the stuff known as 'technology' is required for your social life, maybe you (and they) don't have much of one already.
