    Everything is bigger in Texa-pan?

    I could not tell... Did you put on your sunglasses and walk away while listening to Teenage Wasteland?

  4. Re:The magical ingredient on Research Promises Drastically Increased LiOn Capacity · · Score: 1

    At the main point of your "Stop speak/typing like a moron" sentence, you really should have made sure you wrote "Lapse" not "Laps"... Awkward.

  5. Re:So if it could play video on Deep-sea Camouflage Tactics Revealed · · Score: 1

    Sweet mother of Jesus, that was some God-awful dirty talk. I have actually enjoyed reading every word you have typed so far. this is probably one of the more interesting articles I have read so far on /. I also like how virtually every time you have posted a comment, it has been modded to 5:informative/interesting. Keep up the good work! I hope there is another squid article soon so I can learn more about them.

  6. Re:Disregard that. on Scientists Develop Super-Slippery Material · · Score: 1

    Torgo's Executive Powder does not boast slipperiness on its list of suggested uses.

  7. Re:Blast from the past on X-ray Facility To Simulate Conditions At Earth's Core · · Score: 1

    :D Horray for a time cube reference! Honestly, I am disappointed that you did not post every line in a different size/font/color.

  8. Re:You get what you pay for. on Hardware Running Android Fails More Than iPhone, BlackBerry Hardware · · Score: 1

    And overpriced stuff has glass on the BACK, that is how you know you paid top dollar for your handheld (Highly droppable) device.

  9. Re:What are the range of failures? on Hardware Running Android Fails More Than iPhone, BlackBerry Hardware · · Score: 2

    Awkward... that first number is actually 12.6%, not 2.6%

  10. Re:I know there will be a lot of jokes... on Simulated Mars Mission 'Returns' After 520 Days · · Score: 0

    This is not the first time they made this experiment. The first two times it failed.

    Denial as a business model?!?

    It's just crazy enough, it might work!

    No no no... The guns from the movie Eraser do not work through a refrigerator... Did you even WATCH the movie?

  14. Re:Viewing is going to be kind of lame on Throwable 36-Camera Ball Takes Spherical Panoramas · · Score: 1

    Oohh! You could take it one step further and just carry the ball around your house, that way it could just completely map everything out, you know, like Google Streetview.

  15. You think these are canals? on The Mystery of Mars' Bizarre Plumbing · · Score: 1

    ... Nope! Chuck Testa.

  16. Re:XCOM: on The Mystery of Mars' Bizarre Plumbing · · Score: 1

    Yeah seriously, they will straight up murder your face. Then procreate in it, then use your husk of a corpse as a weapon against your naive friends until it reaches adulthood. Rinse, repeat.

  17. Re:Dont believe all such reports. on Table Salt Could Help Boost HDD Storage Density By a Factor of 5 · · Score: 1
    I can assume that by the time you have read all comments on this thread that that phrase makes you want to punch people... It is okay, me too, and I am so glad you already took care of correcting them.

    And for Slashdot, I hope there are no more articles regarding anything having to do with salt.

  18. Re:" NaCl — table salt" on Table Salt Could Help Boost HDD Storage Density By a Factor of 5 · · Score: 1

    I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure TFA was talking about using salt in the chemical mix required to manufacture the platters... As apposed to writing data to actual grains of salt.

  19. Re:Another step on Scientists Developed Artificial Structures That Can Self-Replicate · · Score: 1

    Technology breakthroughs have been occuring for thousands of years. The nuclear bomb, dynamite, machine guns, rifles, muskets, long bows, hell, even something as simple as putting a rotten corpse on a catapult and flinging it at your enemies could be considered technology. We've managed not to kill ourselves yet.

    Well sure, but keep in mind, we only have to end the Earth once in order for it to all be over, I am sure that at some point that will happen. SOMEONE has to get "Red button that kills everyone"-happy eventually, it happens all the time in movies.

    I am sure everyone in charge of anything that could possibly escalate into "Grey goo" is keeping a close eye on not letting it go too far.

  20. Re:... and the problem is? on AMD Ports Open-Source Linux GPU Driver To Windows · · Score: 1

    Nothing says there's a problem. It's just an interesting little tidbit.

    Rather like saying "There will be weather today."

    But, there will be weather today !

    Indeed, at least twice... Sources say.[Citation needed]
