  1. Re:Whew! on Historic Heat In North America Turns Winter To Summer · · Score: 1

    Don't be so super serial.

  2. Re:Lucky Doctor on New Doctor Who Companion Announced · · Score: 1

    You are always free to add a picture to the wiki page yourself. Also, the page in question has been around since 2006.

    I linked to Wikipedia because I cared more about a descriptive biography than just her picture and filmography, which is essentially all that IMDB has.

  3. Re:Just what Hollywood needs.... on Michael Bay To Remake TMNT As Aliens · · Score: 0

    ...with spaceships that look grimier than the ones in Alien...the new ship doesn't even have one [HAL]...Everyone is incompetent. They act like they've never had any training at all....

    Would this be a bad time to point out that the ship in that movie (not the Discovery, the Leonov) was Russian with a (partly) Russian crew? I don't know, you said it, not me....

  4. When was that again? on Is It Time For the US Government To Back Fusion At NIF Over ITER? · · Score: 4, Funny

    [NIF's managers] say they should achieve ignition before the end of 2012.

    I'm guessing their target date is December 21.

    ...Well played, Mayans, well played.

  5. Before the LibreOffice Bashing Begins on LibreOffice 3.5.1 Released With Fixes · · Score: 0

    For all those who are questions why we should use LibreOffice instead of something proprietary like MS Office, I just want to leave this obligatory XKCD here.

  6. This leads me to an interesting question... on Space Shuttles Discovery and Atlantis Meet One Last Time · · Score: 0

    When they were still being flown, did NASA ever coordinate a rendezvous between two or more shuttles? Or did they only keep one in the air at any given time? I don't seem to remember seeing any pictures of shuttles docked with one another.

  7. We're Gonna Get Those Terrorists on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 0

    ...now watch this drive.

  8. Re:What has this site come to? on Gamestar Mechanic Teaches Kids to Write Their Own Computer Games (Video) · · Score: 0

    Seeing the word "sustainable" these days is not interesting. In fact, it's almost to be expected.

  9. The beta is really fun, but only includes basic chronological divisions.. I'll be very excited to see a newer, more complete version when it comes out. Maybe it would help to have some sort of tooltip popup or text with a brief summary within each selectable time period?

  10. Re:TMNF? on New Frog Species Found In NYC · · Score: 0

    Believe it or not, in the original TV show, there were actually frog "cousins" of the Turtles. Though I don't think they ever caught on...

  11. Re:90 million on Book Review: Google+: the Missing Manual · · Score: -1

    No, there are 10 types of people in the world:Those who understand ternary, those who don't, and those who mistake it for binary.

    FTFY

  12. Oh, Hell No on Iran Blamed For Major Cyberattack On BBC · · Score: -1

    Playing your games in the political environment is bad enough (whether it actually was Iran or this is just another warmongering excuse), but when you threaten to cut off the world's Dr Who source....
    It's ON!

  13. Anyone who categories others as an "Enemy of the Internet" is probably against free speech in its purest form. Ergo, the accuser is more of an "enemy of the Internet" than anyone else.

  14. Oblig XKCD on Cheap Solar Panels Made With An Ion Cannon · · Score: -1

    http://xkcd.com/678/

    However cool this may be, it will still be years before it can be developed to a useful state. I'm still excited, though, because useful solar energy production could be a god-send right now.

  15. And yet... on Have Online Comment Sections Become Specious? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...this comment will be modded Insightful.

  16. Chinese? on Chinese Spies Used Fake Facebook Profile To Friend NATO Officials · · Score: 2

    The article's headline and teaser lines mention Chinese spies, but the article itself provides nothing to back up this claim. Where are they getting this information from?

  17. I saw TFA on Meteorite Crashes Through Cottage In Oslo · · Score: 1, Funny

    Pics or it didn't happen.

  18. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Did Benjamin Franklin Invent Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 2

    In Soviet Russia, meme laughs at you!

  19. 15 Till on Iran War Clock Set At Ten Minutes To Midnight · · Score: 1

    If the clock never goes earlier than 15 till midnight, why don't they just scale it out to 60 minutes? That way a change from 10 minutes to midnight to 5 minutes to might midnight would instead be a change of 20 minutes (11:20 -> 11:40). That would be a much more noticeable difference!

  20. Re:Should do that with Matrix 2 and 3 on Topher Grace Screens Star Wars Prequel Re-edit · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...then again the first movie had a terrible story...

    FTFY

  21. Re:Might as well go all the way on Coca-Cola and Pepsi Change Recipe To Avoid Cancer Warning · · Score: 0

    100% of people who contract cancer are not only suffer from the condition known as "life", but also eventually die. That is a 100% fatality rate.

    Man, I gotta go work for Fox News.

  22. Re:Fucking magnets on Startram — Maglev Train To Low Earth Orbit · · Score: 1

    You should read From the Earth to the Moon sometime.

  23. Re:Fucking magnets on Startram — Maglev Train To Low Earth Orbit · · Score: 2, Funny

    I disagree with everything everyone said in this thread, because I am a Slashdot poster! I am a bitter pile of negativity that always contradicts or attempts to out-do the parent post. All of your opinions are false, wrong, and stupid. I know everything about the topic at hand, and you know nothing!

  24. I want a whole bunch of doubt to be thrown on the judicial system. It's had such a great track record so far, after all.

  25. One question on Gate One Brings Text-mode Surfing To the Web, Quake-Style · · Score: 1

    What is Quake-style? I must not have payed attention when I played Quakes 1 and 2, but I don't remember lynx being in there....Google doesn't really help me with the answer on this either.
