  1. There is One Reason Aliens Would Visit on Why We'll Never Meet Aliens · · Score: 1

    Simple curiosity. And if Aliens could come here, it would be understandable that humanity would never be aware of it.

  2. Wolfram and Pop Psychology on Wolfram Alpha Drills Deep Into Facebook Data · · Score: 1

    All in the same sentence, I would never have believed it.

  3. Well Bain, What are We Going to Do Tonight? on 'Master Gene' Makes Mouse Brain Look More Human · · Score: 1

    The same thing we do every night. Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh

  4. Consider the Amusement Value on Eric Schmidt: Google Glass Critics 'Afraid of Change,' Society Will Adapt · · Score: 1

    I imagine being at a Mit Romney fund raiser, and it just doesn't get old.

  6. BVU195 Functionality? on Ubuntu Releases 13.04, Sticks To 6-Month Release Rhythm · · Score: 1

    I would dearly love to know how I can install this device on my ubuntu/hp laptop, maybe 13.04 can?

  7. Re:My house, my rules on Israel Airport Security Allowed To Read Tourists' Email · · Score: 1

    So, in the land of 2 triangles one can say, "read about crazy reproductive nigerians, get rich." and be able to decide yes or no as to the haunting question, "Bad Guy?"

  8. Remote Operated Camera with A Laser Pointer, WOW! on IBM Robotic Coworker Will Help Engineers Fix Broken Systems · · Score: 1

    The University of Sheffield engineering staff proped up by IBM funding put a laser pointer on a remote controlled camera; these are, desparate times indeed. Amazng, the voice who's tone can cure insomnia says this will help maintanence workers find the machine that's broke? The demo goes on to use cell phones for people to coordinate and communicate with each other. Earth shaking concept, that the hole factory has to shut down so that the repair guy can hear the instructions.

  9. Re:Cows on An Open Letter To Google Chairman Eric Schmidt On Drones · · Score: 1

    Personally owned flying robots today have the power to change the balance of power between individuals and large bureaucracies in much the same way the Internet did in the past.

    Are not these words from the same people that are buying laws to be created so that their unconscionable actions of shear greed are not actionable?

  10. Re:The bad news on Teachable Robot Helps Assemble IKEA Furniture · · Score: 1

    Help me with my math here; 2 robotic arms, 6 people = 1 robot?

  11. Re:Nope on Stop Standardizing HTML · · Score: 2

    I've seen results of Close Source, and Open Souce. In actual practice, the champions of Closed Source have very short term goals.

  12. Re: Nope on Stop Standardizing HTML · · Score: 1

    I RTFA, (ya, I know). No support data, why?

    I can't help but wonder how much he was paid for his, "insight?"

  13. Re:Easy Solution on Ask Slashdot: How To Track a Skype Account Hijacker? · · Score: 1

    I sure hope you're female, otherwise the image you just painted in my mind; well my eyes are starting to uncross now...

  14. Re:Rudolf Winestock for President on The Eternal Mainframe · · Score: 1

    Ups, I missed that one.

  15. A Simple Solution Here on TSA Accepting Public Comments On Whole Body Airport Screening · · Score: 1

    T.S.A. should stand by its word and get body scanned everyday; also, they should let some psycodic moron put their hands on their reproductive areas and comment about their body shape out loud in front a group of strangers. Of course if this were to happen lets say in a public area, all I would have to do is file a criminal complaint. it means going to the Supreme Court, and Constitutional Law, but hay; the T.S.A. has deep pockets.

    Movie idea, "Women walks up to the TSA offical, dressed in a TSA uniform. Has all the credentials that TSA types have. BOOOOOM". Want to know the ending, buy the rights. - apologies to OMC

  16. Easy Solution on Ask Slashdot: How To Track a Skype Account Hijacker? · · Score: 2

    Get a job at the F.B.I., and then go out at night dressed like Batman. The rest I think you can figure out for yourself.

  17. Rudolf Winestock for President on The Eternal Mainframe · · Score: 1

    'Offline computer use frustrates the march of progress,' says Winestock. 'If offline use becomes uncommon, then the great and the good will ask: "What are [you] hiding? Are you making kiddie porn? Laundering money? Spreading hate? Do you want the terrorists to win?"'"

    Really? I think the Tea Party has found their next candidate for president. Now if only he had a personal life like the "Newt."

  20. The Wit and Wisdom of the Texas Governor on Huge Explosion at Texas Fertilizer Plant · · Score: 1

    That passenger would go on to command a Star Ship...

  22. Re:Cover story? on American Airlines Grounds Flights · · Score: 1

    I thought AA was "to big to go down," on its SABER.

  23. I Think They Were Cracked... on American Airlines Grounds Flights · · Score: 1

    I've been getting daily confirmations of tickets to places. It's not impacting my credit card. A bank spokeswoman called and said someone had gotten our PIN number and was making the bogus reservations. Funny thing, I and my wife never use our debit card for purchases. Given AA's track record for lost luggage, broken items in luggage, with liberal DHS stickers on the breakage, the crap service at LAX. Maybe someone got feed up, and then smiled?

  24. Re:On TV now on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 5, Funny

    Quiet, the corn have ears.

  25. NASA Lost and Confussed? on Solar Electric Spacecraft Propulsion Could Get NASA To an Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Why is it that NASA will not go and put a permanent base on the Moon? Everything else from that would be doable, expected. Is it that NASA is a afraid of using the Moon as a test bed?

    Apologies to Kermit the Frog.
