  1. Re:Self-evaluation. on Congress' Gulf Oil Spill Response Given a 'D' By Commissioners · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The difference is Bush actually did what I said, while the GP is just making shit up. Also, I seem to remember an awful lot of Clinton blow-job jokes during the Bush years. Sauce for the goose and all.

  2. Re:Self-evaluation. on Congress' Gulf Oil Spill Response Given a 'D' By Commissioners · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Still two orders of magnitude below flying onto an aircraft carrier deck in a flight suit under a huge "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" sign.

  3. Re:But an A by BP on Congress' Gulf Oil Spill Response Given a 'D' By Commissioners · · Score: 1

    Bingo. To use an auto analogy, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are clogged intake filters.

  4. Re:Are you sure? on NOAA Releases New Views of Earth's Ocean Floor · · Score: 3, Funny

    And where are the dragons?? Ocean maps always had dragons on them until liberal Eastern intellectuals got involved. I firmly believe that we should be teaching Dragon Theory in oceanography classes. If not, we should at least be teaching how Dragon Theory is being suppressed by the liberal media intelligentsia.

  5. Re:Parent post written by anti-US propagandist on Why Drones Could Be the Future of Missile Defense · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Two of the biggest cold warriors in history, Nixon and Brezhnev, decided that missile defense systems were a Really Bad Idea (TM). Down the road of "missile missile anti missile missile" madness lies. Unilateral changes in these kinds of policies are very unwelcome and destabilizing. Imagine the US reaction if China started to pursue this sort of technology.

  6. Re:Slashdotted already on Mechanical CPU Clock · · Score: 2

    It's just underclocked.

  7. That can't be right on The Digital Differences In Americans · · Score: 2

    If that's true, then who's misspelling the captions on all those cat pictures?

  8. Re:Big crowds are targets on Former TSA Administrator Speaks · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Dude, you should probably get that sarcasm detector looked at.

  9. Re:Big crowds are targets on Former TSA Administrator Speaks · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obvously the TSA-mentality "cure" for that problem would be to create a separate "pre-screening" screening, to make sure people aren't carrying bombs or bio-weapons into the primary screening waiting area. Problem solved. Safety achieved.

  10. Re:of course on Quantum Random Numbers · · Score: 1

    That's what psuedo-random generators (plus resetting the seed to the same starting point each run) are for.

  11. Here's a strange one on Ask Slashdot: Best Book For 11-Year-Old Who Wants To Teach Himself To Program? · · Score: 1

    Starting Forth by Leo Brodie. Possibly the best book I've ever read about how to decompose a problem into chunks, and turn those chunks into code to solve the problem. As an added bonus, Forth works very well in immediate mode, allowing one to write and test simultaneously.

  12. Re:Bring this Guinness back freezing cold! on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 1

    It's also pretty much word-for-word from L. Ron Hubbard's Mission Earth.

  13. Re:Bring this Guinness back freezing cold! on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 1

    Oh my god! Quoting from the Worst! Book(s)! Ever! Written! Did you ever notice? Every other sentence in the whole! (poorly written!) book! is an exclamation!!

  14. Re:excuse me? on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 2

    Indeed. When I think "flavorless rice lager", I think Budweiser.

  15. Re:Brain Freeze Redefined on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 2

    Even the CSI team couldn't find brains at a fraternity party.

  16. Ex post facto on Appeals Court Rules TOS Violations Aren't Criminal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If a corporation can unilaterally change a TOS agreement AFTER someone has signed up for the service (which they do all the time), how can anybody then claim that violating it is a criminal offense?

  17. Re:In IBM/Soviet Floor Industry... on IBM Patent: Smart Floors Detect Heart Attacks, Intruders · · Score: 2

    No, no, no. In Soviet Russia, YOU spy on floor!

  18. Re:Time for the MPAA to gasp it's last breath... on Heavyweights Clash Over Policing Repeat Copyright Infringers · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Here's what the MPAA is really after:

    Now the MPAA ... wrote, "... the ability of copyright holders to hold gateways ... liable for secondary infringement is crucial in preventing piracy."

  19. Not to worry on Sony Slashes 10,000 Jobs · · Score: 5, Funny

    I understand they're still looking for rootkit developers.

  20. Re:Robots Vs. Pirates on Robot Helicopters To Single Out Pirate Ships · · Score: 2

    Ninjas still win.

  21. Re:when dick cheney did it he wasn't charged on Waterboarding Whistleblower Indicted Under Espionage Act · · Score: 1

    Back where I come from, there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds.
    They are called phila-- eh, phil-- um, yes, uh-- good-deed-doers.
    And their hearts are no bigger than Cheney's.
    But -- they don't have one thing Cheney's got: billionare patrons and political clout.

    Jeez, you should get out from under your rock more often. I especially like his work from the Texas Flood/Couldn't Stand the Weather years.

  23. Re:Puny humans on 150 Gigapixel Sky Image Contains 1 Billion Stars · · Score: 0

    My example was to invoke scale, not some kind of one-for-one correspondance. Your literalism fails.

  24. Re:Puny humans on 150 Gigapixel Sky Image Contains 1 Billion Stars · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    My lack of self-esteem (or other name-calling) notwithstanding, you do realize that you're positing something that is many orders of magnitude beyond a water molecule in your toe having a personal relationship with you, don't you? To me, that's not awe-inspiring, it's simply delusional.

  25. Puny humans on 150 Gigapixel Sky Image Contains 1 Billion Stars · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Tell me again about your "personal relationship" with the being that created all of that?
