  1. Re:It seems like we need grave threats to humanity on Why Our Brains Can't Process the Gravest Threats To Humanity · · Score: 1

    No! It's difficult all the time or easy all the time!

  2. Re:stick to astronomy or whatever... on Neil DeGrasse Tyson Urges America To Challenge China To a Space Race · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Hard to draw a line between state funds and the private funds of the ruler when "l'état, c'est mo": the ruler is the state.

  3. Re: stable on Linux 4.0 Has a File-System Corruption Problem, RAID Users Warned · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Meanwhile, my Win keeps BSOD.

    Really? Sounds like you're screwing something up pretty bad, haven't seen one of those in about 6 or 7 years.

  4. Re:Tolls? on Oregon Testing Pay-Per-Mile Driving Fee To Replace Gas Tax · · Score: 1

    WTF are you smoking? Tire pressure is completely irrelevant here.

  5. Re:Talk about creating a demand on Why Our Antiquated Power Grid Needs Battery Storage · · Score: 1

    Nevermind, I learned how to read in the last 30 seconds.

  6. Re:Talk about creating a demand on Why Our Antiquated Power Grid Needs Battery Storage · · Score: 1

    Something is off with your math here. Your theoretical swimming pool has 100 tons of water in it (roughly 1 ton per m^3, 2*5*10=100). So that would be enough to power 50 houses.

  7. Re:Discrimination under ADA on 'Mobilegeddon': Google To Punish Mobile-Hostile Sites Starting Today · · Score: 1

    It's been established that the ADA only applies to physical locations, not websites. See: Netflix subtitle debacle from a few weeks abck

  8. Re:Pot vs kettle on ICANN Asks FTC To Rule On .sucks gTLD Rollout · · Score: 1

    Those high-precision pennies are very expensive lately.

  9. Re:Not an April Fools post! on California Has Become the First State To Get Over 5% of Its Power From Solar · · Score: 1

    No mystery here. People in California use significantly less power than people in Texas. Probably something to do with year-round air conditioning.

  10. Re:The General Motors EV1 on Ask GM's Exec. Chief Engineer For Electric Vehicles Pam Fletcher a Question · · Score: 1

    Why are we not talking about them?

    ... Because their company name isn't in the subject line of this article?

  11. Re:1and1.com on Ask Slashdot: Advice For Domain Name Registration? · · Score: 1

    Minus $14.00 for the first year, so it ends up being less for the first 9 years,and not much different afterwards. Big deal.

  12. Re:HOWTO on How To Execute People In the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    Yes, the left wing has been applying this exact tactic to the US Postal Service for the past several years.

  13. Re:Metered access, here we come! on House Republicans Roll Out Legislation To Overturn New Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You're confusing QoS and net neutrality. As long as they treat torrent traffic equal to other torrent traffic, they are meeting the regulations.

  14. Re:Lots of weird crap coming out of Congress latel on White House Threatens Veto Over EPA "Secret Science" Bills · · Score: 1

    Now the scientists erase "Global Warming" and replace it with "Climate Change".

    Those are two different things. Get with the program.

  15. Re:Title's a bit histrionic, isn't it? on British MPs Approve 3-Parent Babies · · Score: 1

    Where are you getting 7 from?

    Mostly from these bits:

    first three children ... 4th child ... three more children

  16. Re:US Robotics 56K on FCC Officially Approves Change In the Definition of Broadband · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you like your broadband, you can keep it.

  17. Re:What?/ Just 2 Km? That's it?! on Engineers Develop 'Ultrarope' For World's Highest Elevator · · Score: 1

    This would only help with the first 10% of getting into orbit. The hard part is getting moving sideways so damn fast.

  18. Re: writer doesn't get jeopardy, or much of anythi on Alva Noe: Don't Worry About the Singularity, We Can't Even Copy an Amoeba · · Score: 1

    Only the Welsh ones.

  19. Re:Huh on Comet Probe Philae To Deploy Drill As Battery Life Wanes · · Score: 1

    In that case they should have just edited the save file. I mean it's in JSON and everything.

  20. Re:A Serious Deficit, You Say? on Hungary To Tax Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Alright, what would you like to cut, then? Cutting the entire military should do it. Or taking away health care from the old folks, that would be another winner. That's about 2/3s of the budget between those two. The stuff you're talking about is a drop in the bucket, so if you're really serious about cutting spending let's talk about what you'd cut.

  21. Re:But the speed camera folks are laughing .... on Speed Cameras In Chicago Earn $50M Less Than Expected · · Score: 1

    He's talking about Windsor, Canada. The city on the other side of the bridge. Nothing is being said about what Canada the country is doing.

  22. Re:DAESH, not ISIL on US Strikes ISIL Targets In Syria · · Score: 1

    DAESH means roughly the same thing as ISIL. You're just using a different language.

  23. Re:The WHO on Bioethicist At National Institutes of Health: "Why I Hope To Die At 75" · · Score: 1

    He's clearly not talking about relatively healthy people like your parents. I'm sure you'd be spouting a different story in a year if they suddenly came down with Alzheimer's.

  24. Re:For those who don't get it, different altitudes on 2 Mars Missions Set For Arrival, Both Prepare for Orbital Maneuvers · · Score: 2

    I want to build a wind turbine in front of this comment and capture green energy from the huge WHOOSH that just happened.

  25. Re: Well at least they saved the children! on Google Spots Explicit Images of a Child In Man's Email, Tips Off Police · · Score: 1

    That's an amazing typo. Only one google result for "ebidrmce" and it's this post right here.
