    Teach Darwin, Teach Spinoza and Godel.

    This list will never be complete. Or if it is, it will be inconsistent.

    In my experience, ... The big dogs just sit on the periphery taking in the tolerable threshold of pain, all the time going grrrrr, grrrrr, grrrr, until the batteries in the collar fail

    Maybe the pet shop got your order wrong: "No I said Mastiff - not masochistic!"

    it was determined that at TV frequencies the Earth was the brightest (known) object in the galaxy.

    That is until they learn to decode the signals. Then they will stop thinking we are bright.

  8. Re:Yeah! on How Free Speech Died On Campus · · Score: 4, Funny

    In fact, the greatest damage moderates and left-wing could do to the right wing extremists is to invite them to freely speak their minds. The resulting spew of homophobic, sexist, and racist non-sequiturs would likely shift most people just a bit to the left.

    And somewhere in suburban Missouri, Todd Akin gets as the strange feeling that someone on slashdot is talking about him.

    I'd like to see that in court. "Your honor, 'Unce, tice, fee tynes a maybe' is clearly a derivitive work and violates my clients copyright"

  10. Re:I recall... on Proposed Posting of Clients List In Prostitution Case Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    "sexing each other"?

    Yeah, that sort of sounds like how some 105 year old would describe them having sex. Of course I meant "Sexting" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexting

  11. Re:I recall... on Proposed Posting of Clients List In Prostitution Case Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 3, Interesting

    (Assuming it's a state where 18 is the legal age, I know it varies)

    The laws start being even more inconsistent in states with lower legal ages. Here the age of consent is 17. So that 22 is fine having sex with that 17 year old. If they start sexing each other instead/also - then it's child pornography.

  12. Re:STEM Visas being held hostage on US House STEM Visa Bill Fails · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I agree than any additional 'supply' will lower the average wage. But I'd rather be competing against 55,000 green card holders, who can negotiate fairly with their employers for a competitive wage than completing against 55,000 H1B workers who are (mostly) tied to a single employer and have a significant disadvantage in any salary/etc. negotiation.

    So does one of the parties want to eliminate/reduce the H1B visas and replace them with green cards? Because if so, then I support them on this.

  13. Re:Reading the summary on Art School's Expensive Art History Textbook Contains No Actual Art · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe they are teaching the Art History majors their most important lesson "You have wasted your money."

    Normally it takes them 4 years of college and then a year or more working at Starbucks to learn that.

    They need to adjust 20$ for inflation though.

    I can't believe those n00b founding fathers hard-coded that value...

    Even with inflation, I'm pretty sure $20 in 1789 is still less than $1,000,000,000+ in 2012. (Agree with you on the hard-coding - unless their intent was to have it effectively approach zero over time.)

    I was thinking we work with the Unicode people to get one or more of the 'smiley face' characters renamed to 'The Prophet Mohammed'. And then we try to register 4chan.(that)

    While they are busy freaking out over that, we proceed with all of the gTLDs we were really planning on creating.

    but which now you have to pay to get your money out if the ATM isn't from your bank?

    As opposed to before, when you'd have to drive to wherever your bank was and withdrawl your money there. Not that there is any good reason for it cost multiple dollars for this privilege other than pure profit. (My bank refunds the fees to me up to some amount each month (that I never come close to) so don't really care about the fee anyway.)

    A near-death experience is selective oxygen deprivation.

    So is the study methodology to put Fundamentalists in a sealed room and slowly remove the oxygen until they have a vision of some sort? If so, I'd like to volunteer Fred Phelps, and I'd like to know where I can contribute to the grant funding.

    ...if Heaven is perfect...

    Then it should also not have any arrogant jerks who think they are right and anyone who believes something they don't is wrong, even though they have absolute 0 evidence to back up their guesses.

    So I guess that means you and me both are out. Although considering I don't think the place exists, that's probably more upsetting for you.

    No, but it would be nice if he didn't sue people who created add-ons that do make his site more usable, and that direct the eventual traffic back to him.

    Father. Sister.

    What about Leia? Isn't she Luke's twin sister?

    Did you not see this part:

    he'd give his right hand to have a family again.

    He lost his hand fighting Vader in Empire, then right after that Vader told him he was his father. He then discovers Leia was his sister in Jedi.

    But it's not funny if I have to explain it. I'm betting ACs are young whippersnappers that watched the movies in *gasp* numerical order.
