  1. There, their, and they're on Dutch Pirateparty Refuses Order To Take Down Proxy · · Score: -1, Troll

    Submitter should learn them.

  2. Re:Twisting science for political or financial gai on Conservatives' Trust In Science Has Fallen Dramatically Since Mid-1970s · · Score: 1

    I don't think the nature of science itself has changed; it is non-political. What I meant was that the nature of what it tells us tends to be distorted for our own agendas, and we MAKE IT political.

  3. How convenient on Conservatives' Trust In Science Has Fallen Dramatically Since Mid-1970s · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Or in other words, around the time that science started suggesting reasons why economic progress can be bad, instead of just helping it along?

  4. Re:Huh? on FBI's Top Cyber-cop Says We're Losing the War Against Hackers · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I don't understand the joke. Can you enlighten me? Thanks in advance.

  5. Did they name it properly? on Go Version 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it is a recursive acronym for "Go's Optional"

  6. how nice of them on Google 'Account Activity' Jumps Into Personal Analytics · · Score: -1, Troll

    They have been collecting this information for some time now and selling it all to the highest bidder, and now they are giving me access to it! WOW, THANKS GOOGLE!

  7. Re:Don't mess with a Footballer on UK Man Jailed For 'Offensive Tweets' · · Score: 1

    Admiring worthless idiot celebrities isn't exclusive to the UK. I know you weren't saying it was, but I thought it was worth mentioning. If only because in the US we enjoy crucifying the odd one little more often it seems.

  8. Arrest me on UK Man Jailed For 'Offensive Tweets' · · Score: 1

    Damned Limeys

  9. Occam's Razor on Findings Cast Doubt On Moon Origins · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is there evidence to suggest that the simplest explanation (accretion disk formed the earth and the moon at roughly the same time, along with all the other rocky planets) is not the correct one? I honestly can't remember, it would be nice for someone more knowledgeable than I to set me straight. We seem to be obsessed with "fantastic" explanations, maybe because we are trying to get folks interested in science. The simple explanation is still pretty friggin' interesting to me.

  10. Re:Alternative Solution on Science Reveals Why Airplane Food Tastes So Bad · · Score: 1

    I have a feeling that if they were to remove meal service, the price of the ticket would remain the same. Kind of similar to what happened with checked baggage.

  11. Re:That's been my experience on Do Women Make Better Bosses? · · Score: 1

    I think your experience is a common one. I think the reason for this is that there are still some barriers to women being able to achieve management positions, so the few that make it have to be VERY good. I have not worked for a female manager, but I have had my share of both very good and very terrible male managers. I think the market for male managers is quite diluted.

  12. Do not take me for some peddler of cheap booze! on Hobbit Pub Saved By Actors Stephen Fry and Sir Ian McKellen · · Score: 1

    Drink, you fools!

  13. A cow's opinion on Verizon Says Hactivists Now Biggest Corporate Net Threat · · Score: 1

    How can you know 100% of the time what the motivation is? Haven't you ever seen Die Hard?

  14. The Saint on Ask MIT Researchers About Fusion Power · · Score: 1

    My wife wants to know if any of you guys look like Val Kilmer.

  15. Re:ooohh... on Camera Can See Around Corners · · Score: 1

    Yeah, many large gyms don't have doors on the locker rooms. They have a hallway with a U-shape.

  16. iCANT on ICANN Ethical Conflicts Are Worse Than They Seem · · Score: 1

    I think "Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Trades" has a better ring to it anyway...

  17. Re:ooohh... on Camera Can See Around Corners · · Score: 1

    Because it can't see THROUGH anything. It can see AROUND stuff, because it depends on scattered light from the subject. So much for trying to make a joke.

  18. Re:Kind of shady? on Meet the Hackers Who Get Rich Selling Spies Zero-Day Exploits · · Score: 2

    The laws only apply if you are hacking into computers you don't own in order to download The Hurt Locker.

  19. ooohh... on Camera Can See Around Corners · · Score: 1

    How long until this can be miniaturized into a pair of glasses that I can wear outside of the women's locker room at the gym?

  20. Re:Short answer... on Ask Slashdot: Any Smart Phones Made Under Worker-Friendly Conditions? · · Score: 0

    Wow that's so informative.

  21. Re:Drawings != child porn on Canadian Charges Against US Manga Reader Dropped · · Score: 1

    You are very ill-informed, as others have duly noted. Outlawing kiddie porn is about protecting kids. When you start outlawing representations of it that don't harm kids, however disgusting you may find them, you are outlawing free speech. Please think before you spew verbal diarrhea.

  22. Re:There is one business ... actually, two ... on Ask Slashdot: Do You Find Self Tracking Useful Like Stephen Wolfram Does? · · Score: 2

    Is Stephen Wolfram doing this because Stephen Wolfram thinks everyone forgot about Stephen Wolfram? I wonder if Stephen Wolfram refers to Stephen Wolfram in the third-person. Stephen Wolfram Stephen Wolfram Stephen Wolfram Stephen Wolfram.

  23. Re:There is one business ... actually, two ... on Ask Slashdot: Do You Find Self Tracking Useful Like Stephen Wolfram Does? · · Score: 1

    ^ This is all that really needs to be said. /D'oh!

  25. BM on Scientists Work Towards Naturally Caffeine-Free Coffee · · Score: 1

    I mainly drink it for the bowel movement, so as long as I still get that, I'm good.
