    As if Kölsch is anything special... Ha!
    Yes I do drink Kölsch: In Köln, at the Früh restaurant, with Rheinischem Sauerbraten or Himmel und Erde.
    Otherwise, not.

  4. Trolling on Coming To a War Near You: Nuclear Powered Drones · · Score: 5, Funny

    Trolling is what makes slashdot a worthwhile site. But good trolling isn't just saying offensive or outrageous things to provoke an angry response. That's lame. Good trolling is writing something that seems serious, and yet at the same time somehow flawed. Then, given the nature of the kind of people who read slashdot, you get a bunch of responses from people who want to show their intellectual superiority by pointing out the factual errors, or the ridiculousness of the argument, or whatever the flaw was. You can keep it going for a while by making ignorant counter responses. Eventually the trollees figure out they're being trolled and get disgusted. Everyone else who was just reading along finds it all hilarious and enjoyable.

  5. Disincentive on Coming To a War Near You: Nuclear Powered Drones · · Score: 5, Funny

    I suppose this would provide some disincentive for shooting them down too:

    Should I shoot it down and stop myself from getting attacked with an air-to-ground missile, or should I not shoot it down and stop myself from getting a lungful of plutonium dust. Hmmm... choices, choices...

  6. Re:FROSTY PISS!! on MIT Institute's Gloomy Prediction: 'Global Economic Collapse' By 2030 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The wonderful thing about this prediction is that it is testable.
    Nothing is going to change significantly in the next 18 years, so we will see whether this prediction is accurate.
    My guess: It isn't accurate.

  7. Re:They don't serve and protect on Toronto Police Use Facebook Picture in Online Lineup · · Score: 2

    And just what did that "liability" consist of? What punishments were imposed upon individual police officers?

  11. Re:Too easy to defend against this on Navy Planning To Build Laser Cannon In Four Years · · Score: 1

    "segway" is a synonym for "feral cat".

  12. Re:It's not a question of innocence on Forensic Experts Say Screams Were Not Zimmerman's · · Score: 0

    That was only after Zimmerman reportedly cornered Trayvon, flashed his pistol and said "It's you or me, jigaboo!"

  13. Re:So what? on Forensic Experts Say Screams Were Not Zimmerman's · · Score: 2

    The police could use their time-honored tactic of arresting you for resisting arrest to bring him in anytime.

    Yes. I patented that plaque.

  15. Re:So what? on Forensic Experts Say Screams Were Not Zimmerman's · · Score: 1

    The revelation that a kel-tec really is a more effective weapon than a bag of skittles is fairly noteworthy.

  16. Re:In case you missed it on Forensic Experts Say Screams Were Not Zimmerman's · · Score: 2

    Well I don't know why we should trust a guy who runs a chain of breakfast restaurants.

  17. Re:Visibility is an issue on Using Pulsars For Spacecraft Navigation · · Score: 5, Funny

    even within a galaxy, it's probably a good reference. But that's definitely a risky method if you start moving out of the galactic plane.

    Now that's too bad because I was planning on moving out of the galactic plane sometime later this year.

    I have already patented this.

    Having possession of highly lethal weapons is a great hedge against bankruptcy.

    That would be a devastating defense.
    I'm sure the Navy will remember it next time they're up against a borg cube.

    all the actual techies have left and been replaced with libertarian trolls.

    Huh? I remember way back when quoting Ayn Rand on Slashdot was a sure ticket to +5 Insightful. And you say that Slashdot is infested with libertarian trolls now?
