  1. Re: Why on France Wants To Get Rid of Diesel Fuel · · Score: 1

    "unavailable in the US"
    Which was my point.

  2. Re: Why on France Wants To Get Rid of Diesel Fuel · · Score: 1

    Screw Soviet Russia.

  3. Re:Seen the e-Golf? on France Wants To Get Rid of Diesel Fuel · · Score: 1

    I'm a manual transmission freak.

  4. Re: Why on France Wants To Get Rid of Diesel Fuel · · Score: 1

    Whenever I was shopping a couple years ago, you couldn't get a Ford diesel unless you were buying an F-350.
    As though an urban weenie like me needs such. Does Ford offer any commuter diesels?

  5. Re: Why on France Wants To Get Rid of Diesel Fuel · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We have two TDI diesel manual transmission cars.
    The cost per mile is relatively awesome, compared to a gas car.
    Because if they don't manipulate the market and tax systems to eliminate diesels, electric cars will remain an expensive curiosity.

  6. Re:Justice is served! on Kim Dotcom Says Legal Fight Has Left Him Broke · · Score: 1

    Sometimes I nearly get kind of close to approaching enlightenment.

  7. Re:Justice is served! on Kim Dotcom Says Legal Fight Has Left Him Broke · · Score: 1

    Not quite sure that this is 'justice', though definitions have gotten rather shifty of late.

  8. Re:Obsession on Australia Elaborates On a New Drift Model To Find MH370 · · Score: 1

    You can take a purely backward view, sure.
    However, this is an opportunity to do some basic research that will pay dividends the next time there is a need to find a winged needle in a soupy haystack.

  9. LTO Tape on Is LTO Tape On Its Way Out? · · Score: 1

    LTO tape
    Is kinder than duct
    When applied to the face
    With the latter, you're Canucked.

  10. Re:Maybe, maybe not. on Two Google Engineers Say Renewables Can't Cure Climate Change · · Score: 1

    The question's whether
    On gubmint you bet
    Or whether one's trust
    In market is set

  11. As Though The GOP on Sony Pictures Computer Sytems Shut Down After Ransomware Hack · · Score: 0

    As though the GOP,
    Bugbears as they be,
    Through that Galifianakis beard
    Even shag-all could see.

  12. Re:What's the deal with the message notifications? on Google's Project Loon Can Now Launch Up To 20 Balloons Per Day, Fly 10x Longer · · Score: 1

    I am a subscriber.

  13. I just want you to know on Some Early Nexus 6 Units Returned Over Startup Bug · · Score: 1

    My commitment to your hydration ain't flagon.

  14. Re:What's old is new again on Some Early Nexus 6 Units Returned Over Startup Bug · · Score: 1

    How about the Slashdot error where http://slashdot.org/messages.pl doesn't seem to have anything, even new JEs?
    What: are they trying to force people to read the front page? That's like RTFA, or something.

  15. What's the deal with the message notifications? on Google's Project Loon Can Now Launch Up To 20 Balloons Per Day, Fly 10x Longer · · Score: 1

    It's almost as though Slashdot is trying to lure me out to the front page, or something, by not showing responses to the JE messages.

  16. Re:Geez on Entrepreneur Injects Bitcoin Wallets Into Hands · · Score: 1

    I think the reason you think he thinks he does understand the system probably has something to do with recursion.

  17. Re:Who is that? on Amazon's Echo Chamber · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just some guy who realized that his given name, Dustin Thewind, had been sort of jinxed by the band Kansas a couple decades back.

  18. Re:Corruption? on Another Election, Another Slew of Voting Machine Glitches · · Score: 1

    Or that the elimination of the secret ballot is going to:
    - kick you. In the face. With a steel boot;
    - bounce you off a few walls and the ceiling;
    - go after you with live jumper cables;
    - throw you down the stairs, up the stairs, down the stairs. . .
    if you're having trouble understanding the correct way to vote.

    That secret ballot means more to you than you seem to realize.

  19. Re:Obligatory on Birds Found Using Human Musical Scales For the First Time · · Score: 1

    But you didn't come through with a URL, so, what difference, at this point, does it make?

  20. Obligatory on Birds Found Using Human Musical Scales For the First Time · · Score: 1
  21. Re:January 3rd on Reactions To Disgusting Images Predict a Persons Political Ideology · · Score: 1

    It remains to be seen how much substantial reform the GOP will pursue. Certainly, #OccupyResoluteDesk's two year gold extravaganza isn't going to help much. I anticipate significant whinging about "Well, we'd love to go after these issues hammer-and-tongs, but well need the Presidency in 2016 for that."
    Seeing an actual budget promises to be a novel treat.

  22. Re:Oversold? on Rhode Island Comic Con Oversold, Overcrowded · · Score: 1

    That, or bring in Great White to play a set.

  23. Against It on Ask Slashdot: Where Do You Stand on Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 1

    Complexity isn't your friend.
    Whatever historical value DST may have had left the building with Elvis.

  24. ETLA AFU on It's Time To Revive Hypercard · · Score: 1

    APL, FYI. HAND.

  25. Re:Spiritual Needs on Jedi-ism Becomes a Serious Religion · · Score: 1

    Indeed. I don't buy off on this Oriental spiritual equivalent of "eat a bullet for enlightenment".
