  1. Re:Too course on Curiosity Finds Evidence of Ancient Surface Water · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    While rocket scientists likely have lots of education involving fluid dynamics, I doubt they specialized much in erosion.

  2. Re:Acceptable on BioWare Launches "Gay Planet" For the Old Republic · · Score: 1

    I didn't know Rick Santorum was on Slashdot

  3. Re:Or, projectors and tablets together on College CIO Predicts Tablets Will Kill Smart Boards · · Score: 1

    I am in a MS Mech Engineering program and over half of all my professors already do this.

    To make a pizza from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

  5. Re:Math Degree on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree While Working Full Time? · · Score: 1

    The software engineering degree there is pretty successful from what I hear.

  6. Sounds familiar on NASA Plans To "Lasso" Asteroid and Turn It Into Space Station · · Score: 1

    Ya I heard they found plastic on Mars too.

  7. Very cool on Over 1000 Volunteers For 'Suicide' Mission To Mars · · Score: 1

    Pretty neat idea, but isn't there some international regulations about contaminating other planets? I think it may be worthwhile to rigorously search for naturally occurring microbes carefully before we start sending actual people up there, with the inevitable contamination we bring.

    Another Hershey purchase was Dagoba chocolates. Their 87% is excellent

  9. Trolled so hard on NASA: Curiosity Has Found Plastic On Mars · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I was flipping out. Now I feel dumb. My only solace is that Slashdot looks a lot dumber than me.

    Not sure if insightful, or funny

  13. I LOVE FLYING DRONESS BROOO on 72% of Xbox 360 Gamers Approve of "More Military Drone Strikes" · · Score: 1

    Fucking COD jocks

  14. Re:Hansen again? on NASA Scientist: Heat Waves Really Are From Global Warming · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I sort of agree with this. I think that the generalized idea of extra C02 is very hard to argue against. It seems pretty basic so I'm not surprised that the vast majority accepts global warming to be at least partially man made. I'm still somewhat skeptical of climate models though. As you'll often hear in computational science, shit in = shit out. CFD and other techniques used to make these predictions are still somewhat immature (although advancing pretty quickly). So as of right now when I hear very specific claims such as "this weather pattern was absolutely caused by global warming", I'm definitely going to be suspicious.

  15. Disregard Science, Acquire currency

  16. Re:Not just Apple on Apple Tells Siri To Stop Recommending Nokia · · Score: 5, Informative

    I searched "best web browser" on Google and the second result was mozilla.org

    We gotta kill them CO2s! Dem Nazi sympathizers! Maybe that will work

  18. Re:what exactly do they want done... on High School Students Sue Federal Gov't Over Global Warming · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh my the irony!

  19. Gibbons on Canadian Mint To Create Digital Currency · · Score: 1

    I'm developing a computer program which rounds down the fractions of nickels left over from micro transactions and deposits the remainder into my bank account.

  20. Re:Most beer is too cold already on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 1

    Well there's now Molson-Coors also which is half Canadian, so none of the big 3 are actually truly American. I think Yuengling just passed up Boston Beer Company as the largest American brewer.

  21. Re:Color me surprised. Or not. on Santorum Suspends Presidential Campaign · · Score: 1

    Dennis Kucinich?

  22. Re:No Surprise Here on Majority of Landmark Cancer Studies Cannot Be Replicated · · Score: 4, Funny

    Most people pursue careers in atmospheric science for the dollars

  23. dice on Historic Heat In North America Turns Winter To Summer · · Score: 1

    I believe it's referred to as loading the dice, where climate change isn't necessarily responsible, but will probably make some of the odd/extreme weather patterns come around more often than normal.

  24. Re:If only :) on One In Eight Chance of a Financially Catastrophic Solar Storm By 2020 · · Score: 1

    Maybe it will put most people out of work, but I'd bet the demand for engineering/IT would go way up? Hopefully

  25. Re:So why the push for Unity? on Canonical Puts Ubuntu On Android Smartphones · · Score: 1

    It plugs into a netbook shaped body and uses the phones internals to run a specialty software on a laptop screen. It is some type of limited proprietary software that Motorola developed, so I think Canonical is expanding on this idea with a full sized OS with a large application base.
