  1. Men x Women Globally on Sexist Presentations At Startup Competition Prompt TechCrunch Apology · · Score: 1

    It's like all men and all women on earth are engaged in a virtual, metaphorical couple relationship. You observe the same things happening between men and women globally as you might observe in your average couple. I was going to cite examples, but I don't want to upset any feminists...

  2. Bias on Arctic Ice Cap Rebounds From 2012 — But Does That Matter? · · Score: 1

    "Ice caps are melting, it's a catastrophe!! Humanity could end in a few centuries!!"

    "Ice caps are reforming... oh, but that doesn't matter, though! We're still fucked!!"

  3. Re:Electric Universe on Mystery Alignment of Planetary Nebulae Discovered · · Score: 1

    We gonna rock on through Electric Universe And then we'll take it higher!

  4. Broken System? on Why One Woman Says Sending Your Kid To Private School Is Evil · · Score: 1

    We have a broken system... how do we fix it? Oh I know, let's use it more!! GENIUS!

  5. Backstory on Scientists Create 'Fastest Man-Made Spinning Object' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I know the team member who first suggested this research. As a kid, he was obsessed with spinning tops, bicycle wheels and everything else he could find that spins really fast. Looks like that passion of his spun out of control as he grew older!

  6. No need for an expansion, Blizzard on Diablo 3 Expansion Announced: Reaper of Souls · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You're already reaped my soul with Diablo 3. I had to Exile myself to repair the damage you've done to my soul.

  7. Re:Boost your cognitive flexibility... on Playing StarCraft Could Boost Your Cognitive Flexibility · · Score: 1

    Apparently, self-deprecating humor is trolling now. Good stuff, Slashdot.

  8. Boost your cognitive flexibility... on Playing StarCraft Could Boost Your Cognitive Flexibility · · Score: 0

    ... at the cost of unrepairable damage to your self-confidence, complete destruction of your morale, a phobia of and inferiority complex towards Koreans and a decade off your lifespan due to intense, repeated stress from matches and ladder anxiety permeating your life. I'll stick to Harvest Moon, personally.

  9. Re:Fat Rage on Twinkies: The Breakfast of Champion Programmers Still Hard To Get · · Score: 1

    Fat people can fit normal clothes. Plain old, standard, totally normal 5XL t-shirts.

  10. I just had an apngasm reading this

  11. If this technology became mainstream, I'd bet my IBM Model M13 that people would still try to overclock the shit out of it.

  12. "We won't block legal content" on The Shortest Internet Censorship Debate Ever · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ... "We'll just make the content we don't like illegal"?

  13. Correction on Nokia: Microsoft Must Evolve To Make Windows Phone a Success · · Score: 1

    Headline should be "Microsoft Must Evolve To Make a Success"

  14. I know what it would look like on What Wi-Fi Would Look Like If We Could See It · · Score: 1

    It would look like an ocean of blood, sweat and tears permeating our cities.

  15. Re:This just in... on Electrical Engineering Labor Pool Shrinking · · Score: 1

    This is also the kind of situation parent was referring to. Since we are both craving cucumber sandwiches, you value my half of a cucumber more than you value your half of a bread, and I value your half of a bread more than my half cucumber, and so we trade, either directly or by selling it to each other using money as you said. I love cucumber sandwiches.

  16. Correction on Math and Science Popular With Students Until They Realize They're Hard · · Score: 1

    Math and Science Popular Until Students Realize They Are Taught In The Most Boring And Ass-Backwards Way Possible

  17. Re:Want to meet a Japanese woman? on Why Are Japanese Men Refusing To Leave Their Rooms? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Of course, they like the Cauc!

  18. While you're at it... on Man Campaigns For Addition of 'Th' Key To Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Why not make a keyboard with every word in the dictionary on a key? But then people will start wanting whole sentences on single keys...

  19. Re:Why they should really stop on Why Automakers Should Stop the Infotainment Arms Race · · Score: 1

    Parent has obviously never driven 100 miles while playing competitive CS:GO on one screen, watching anime on another and listening to music over all of that, while eating a footlong submarine sandwich, getting a foot bath and massage (cruise control), poking at Animal Crossing on 3DS between rounds of CS, and practicing harmonica between bites of the sandwich.

  20. A saying comes to mind... on Teenage League of Legends Player Jailed For Months For Facebook Joke · · Score: 1

    "The only place for a just man in an unjust society is in jail" - Don't know who said it but it's distilled truth

  21. LHC on The DNA Data Deluge · · Score: 1

    The LHC generates a shitton of data as well, but from what I've seen (something like this) they use extremely fast integrated circuits to skim the data. Perhaps geneticists could use a similar technique.

  22. Just ask on How Much Is Your Gmail Account Worth To Crooks? · · Score: 1

    I just asked a crook what my GMail account is worth, he appraised it at at least 5 million US dollars. He charged 40$ for the estimation. It's good to know, now I have a reason to take extra steps to secure my account.

  23. Wait what on Why Engineering Freshmen Should Take Humanities Courses · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "In your science, mathematics and engineering classes, you're given facts, answers, knowledge, truth. Your professors say, 'This is how things are.'"

    That's a funny way to hear "those are only approximations", "there's always going to be some margin of error" or "we're not 100% sure how this behaves".

  24. Re:Terrorism is so overrated. on Tennessee Official: Water Complaints Could be "Act of Terrorism" · · Score: 1

    People coming up with new forms of terrorist threats are a terrorist threat

  25. This guy needs a vacation on ITIF Senior Fellow Claims "America's Broadband Networks Lead the World" · · Score: 2

    I say rent him a small apartment in Tokyo with a paid 2 Gbps connection. Then we'll see what he thinks of America's great broadband.
