  1. I Can See It Now on Sugar Batteries Could Store 20% More Energy Than Li-Ions · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Hey! were's my cell phone?! Those ants are taking it! STOP!"

  2. Re:My ubuntu 12.04 does it now on KDE Multi-Monitor Control Getting An Overhaul · · Score: 1

    It would be nice if Gnome, or KDE could handle the USB Monitor issue. I have some BVU195's and I'd love to plug them in and get something other than green screens.

  3. Re:Slashdot sleaze on Torvalds Uses Profanity To Lambaste Romney Remarks · · Score: 1

    I don't see a Red or Yellow card,(a soccer referrence for the unwashed), for Linus's remarks. I believe that Mitt was showing a Gallos Humor joke. But Mitt has a couple of issues that are unignoreable. I don't think he has the ability to downsize "blue" states and sell their assets, for a Fee. Also, Mitt is an OK guy, but like many have said, "if you lay down with dogs, you get up with flees." In Mitt's case, he's infested.

    I was thinking maybe, "Anime-nium"

  5. Re:He did not.. on Linux Forcibly Installed On Congressman's Computer In Act of Terrorism · · Score: 1

    I believe that the Congressman is implying his computer did NOT have an affair with a, Cracker?

    You gotta love the irony of angry old (fearfully threatened sub-species) people.

  6. Re:Should be easy to identify the culprit on Linux Forcibly Installed On Congressman's Computer In Act of Terrorism · · Score: 1

    Those bad guys need to see a foot doctor, maybe their health insurance covers it?

  7. Oldest Campain Trick in the Book on Linux Forcibly Installed On Congressman's Computer In Act of Terrorism · · Score: 1

    Threw an object threw the window of a candidates campaign headquarters?

    I predict the following:
    * that the vandal(s) will not be found, even with security cameras working.
    * this candidate is losing in the polls.
    * that the people that “forcefully” put Linux on a computer never heard the word, “no” uttered by the computer, thus imping it was “consensual.”

  8. Re:What % always considered us the enemy? on Stanford-NYU Report: Drone Attacks Illegal, Counterproductive · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Cultural evidence implicates that if the Drones had only killed the single target in the group of people, that the people's views would not have changed much. What we have is a classic case of the Hatfields verses the McCoys. In Pakistan, the Taliban, and Al Qaeda are not the bad guys. The pervasive attitude is, "bin Laden, a hero, was murdered, and by the very people that made him a hero."

    What surprizes me is that the CIA/DOD are using Drones, maybe for future readyness? I'm ask the question, "which is cheaper? Drone Kill Logistics? Or 1,000,000 iPads with free connection service?" The one method works and makes a lot of noise, but the other REALLY WORKS, and makes more noise.

  10. A Constructive Observation on US Patent Office Seeks Aid To Spot Bogus Patent Claims · · Score: 1

    Why not hire some folks to do such a thing? i would love to apply for this job. The requirements are that these people be Reasonable, and Prudnet.

  11. Re:Plutonium Power Source?! Sweet on Material Breaks Record For Turning Heat Into Electricity · · Score: 1

    How much shielding is required for a RTG unit? How heavy is it? Not having to go to the gas station for 10 years could be worth something.

    Just a thought, we could test this idea out using TSA staffers, they seem not to be to concerned about Fukushima Syndrome.

  12. Re:Isn't it Voluntary? on The Case For Targeted Ads · · Score: 1

    When someone follows you, that's called "Stalking." And an un-invited person is refered to as an "ass."

  13. Re:"Make for iPhone" spec on Ask Slashdot: Hearing Aids That Directly Connect To Smart Phones? · · Score: 1

    Is there such an API for Android?

  14. I Was Wondering About Complete Hearing Loss on Ask Slashdot: Hearing Aids That Directly Connect To Smart Phones? · · Score: 1

    Some of us are losing our hearing, and in a hand full of years will be effectively deaf; it's chilling. My first thought was about hearing aids; but then I was looking at my Smart Phone and thought, "Is there an API so that I can make a Speech to Text App?" As for me, my Smart Phone is becoming useful in ways other than listening to it.

  15. Plutonium Power Source?! Sweet on Material Breaks Record For Turning Heat Into Electricity · · Score: 0

    ...uses thermoelectrics to turn heat from its plutonium power source into electricity...

    I've love to drop a Plutonium power source into a Rover Discovery. There would be no place on Mars I couldn't drive to. As long as Chevron/BP/Shell never got wind of it.

  16. Re:incoherent summary on Microsoft Issues Workaround For IE 0-Day · · Score: 1

    I think enhancing what I've already experienced with Microsoft IE would be like using steal wool to cure hemorrhoids.

    I think I'll take my chances using browsers native to Linux. Of all the things that alienates me from m-$ is their pompous grinning while showing off; it creates no life.

    Ok, your understanding of Organic Farming could use some reasearch.

    As for your comment on Brusing; well gee mister, did you ever think that gas stuff just goes away cause you can't see it?

    Is the value of human life worth so little to you?

  23. Re:And? on Scientists Say Organic Food May Not Be Healthier For You · · Score: 1

    One can only imagine the proximity of your Organic farm to a Monsanto Chemical plant. Your comprehension lacks understanding, or you're a grinning show off; or both. The issue is letting Monsanto, and others sell food that has been genetically modified in a market place were people will not buy it if they know how it was grown/manufactured. Disclosure is actually a way to safe guard buyers, and prevent expensive auctions. An any study on genetic modified food that ignores multiple life spans is sinister.

  24. Re:Google Should Stop Abusing Patent System on Google Patents Profit-Maximizing Dynamic Pricing · · Score: 1

    when the market place is the internet, and a company causes other companies to not be allowed to inform the customer, then a reasonble and purdent person can see that competition has not only been eliminated, but erased. And only the very nieve are not aware that it is not the product that is for sale, but a group of methodologies desigend to remove wealth from the consumer. Which may become trivial when the utility of 3D printers becomes more ubiquitous.

    I can't help but wonder how the Sherman AntiTrust Act can be applied here?
