  1. Smart young kids on How Do You Spot a Genius? · · Score: 0

    Young kids should copulate geniuses, then they'd all be smart.

  2. Split brains on Ask Richard Dawkins About Evolution, Religion, and Science Education · · Score: 0

    Neuroscience shows that rational and emotional brain functions are separate but interrelated (Ramachandran's take on the Capgras Delusion). Could you comment on this in relation to religionist thinking?

  3. Existentialsm on Ask Richard Dawkins About Evolution, Religion, and Science Education · · Score: 0

    As a former indoctrinated religionist, a hard thing, after throwing religion away, was finding a meaning in life. I then realised there was no meaning and then I realised I should create my own as I go along. Would you care to comment?

  4. about time on Green Party Releases International Joint Statement Criticizing the TPP · · Score: 0

  5. teenagers in their bedrooms on Validating Voters For Open Source Governance, In Person · · Score: 0

    yeah right. As if I'm ever gonna trust a computer network as a voting system. Better spending my time advocating for real democracy. ie proportional representation, not that FPP junk that UK and USA have.

  6. move or die on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Position To Work For Long Hours? · · Score: 0

    People who sat for eight to 11 hours a day had a 15 per cent increased risk of dying within three years. Research, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, tracked more than 222,000 people above the age of 45 in New South Wales over a three year period. Disturbingly, the increased risk was not offset by other physical activity during leisure time, meaning those who sat 11 hours a day had the same increased risk of death regardless of whether they jogged for one hour each day or not. BUT breaking up sitting time every 20 minutes with two minutes of light to moderate movement improved glucose metabolism.

  7. Re:What? on MS-DOS Not Stolen, New Forensic Analysis Concludes · · Score: 0

    makes sense to me. how would you rewrite?

  8. Democracy on Is Your Neighbor a Democrat? There's an App For That · · Score: -1

    Especially in the absence of democracy in USA. BTW anything less than Proportional Representation doesn't meet any sensible definition of democracy.

  9. Re:People want cheaper tablets on Why the Tablet Market is Really the iPad Market · · Score: -1, Troll

    The ipad can't even search within a webpage. I presume Nexus 7 and others can?

  10. mice or men on Nanoparticle Completely Eradicates Hepatitis C Virus · · Score: 5, Funny

    would have been nice for mice to be mentioned in the summary since it appears only to apply to them. lucky dogs

  11. War on drugs on Google Joining Fight Against Drug Cartels · · Score: 1

    The War on Drugs is actually a war against human nature. It is immoral, expensive, fosters corruption and is doomed to failure.

  21. Looks like crap from CBS on Cyanide-Producing GM Grass Linked To Texas Cattle Deaths · · Score: 5, Informative

    A different report says this can happen in any type of grass. http://www.uwex.edu/ces/forage/pubs/sorghum.htm Young plants, including roots, and leaves of older plants contain a compound called dhurrin which can break down to release a substance called prussic acid or hydrogen cyanide (HCN). The recommendation is not to graze or cut for green chop until the plant is 18 to 20 inches tall.

  22. Cheapest on Ask Slashdot: How To Shop For a Laptop? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Buy the cheapest because stores are selling them off because they won't run that bloated expensive legacy operating system. Then wipe out the said operating system as you load Linux.

    nope. didn't work I'd prefer the old "no results" or at least put what's in my inverted commas at the top. But no, google is not aimed at people like me. It's aimed at those more susceptible to click through advertising. bring back metacrawler!!!
