    mathematics can prove the measures & relations of a mirage... this does not prove that the railroad tracks do meet there, however.

  8. Astronomers get a clue on New Class of "Hypervelocity Stars" Discovered Escaping the Galaxy · · Score: 1

    those aren't stars escaping the galaxy... those are golf balls being hit by people that watched those 8 free HD golf lesson videos to learn that weird golf trick to add an extra 20 yards.

  9. on a side note on CryptoLocker Gang Earns $30 Million In Just 100 Days · · Score: 1

    Crypto-Smasher V3.10 was used by Gary and Wyatt to make Lisa... just sayin.

  10. Every planet on Mars Rover Curiosity Finds Ancient Lakebed · · Score: 1

    is alive, every rock around and in every lakebed or former lakebed is alive; guess it just depends on how we see things - the rocks, the trees, the birds, the bees, the yous, the mees - are all alive - they/we are expressions of life - the life that has been breathed into the all-everything from the one LIFE; and the expression of life is not life.

  11. Re:Well, that's just stupid on China Bans Financial Companies From Bitcoin Transactions · · Score: 1



    or what they think is their control?

  14. Re:Due to Frank Wolf on Scientists Boycott NASA Conference Because of Ban On Chinese Participants · · Score: 1

    What is: perhaps he believes he is illumined and doing the work of God to take civilization to better places and that polarity is the great controller and that he is practicing this principle of dividing universal equilibrium into pairs of oppositely-conditioned mates (USA vs. China) to create his own little sex-divided two way electric universe - eg. to be Frank, perhaps he is just a self-serving public servant opportunist that believes there is power to be had in being a catalyst for USA-China polarity? Alex?

  15. Re:Tor compromised on Silk Road Shut Down, Founder Arrested, $3.6 Million Worth of Bitcoin Seized · · Score: 1

    It's probably that petter-ass Hanrahan bucking for a promotion.

  17. yeahp on To Boldly Go Nowhere, For Now · · Score: 1

    Man manufactures the money.. man manufactures the rockets... it's one gigantic manufactured masturbation - apparently sometimes humanity just gets horney and needs to get it's nut off by blasting some human into outer space in the name of progress. Ugh. Nevermind... I just happen to have a case of the Mondays on Friday... forget you ever read that... think it's time to go enjoy an ice cold bottle of suds.

  18. Captain Obvious on Moscow Subway To Use Special Devices To Read Data On Passengers' Phones · · Score: 1

    It is easier to NOT steal something than it is TO steal something.

    People: don't steal. Really. It's not that hard to not do.

  19. Re:People are stupid on Own the Controversy! Blackbird DDWFTTW Up For Auction! · · Score: 1

    "Notice how the wind causes the fan blades to circulate? Yes? Good." The wind is causing nothing. Wind blowing is a complex (and in this case mystifying) effect. The 'the sail boat is traveling faster than the wind' is not an actual fact, it's an apparent fact conditioned by space, time and motion. An effect is not a cause. An apparent fact is not a fact. And we don't know... only knowledge knows.

  20. just a tad.

  21. Uh Oh on Drawings of Weapons Led To New Jersey Student's Arrest · · Score: 1

  22. so many dreams there just are no pictures... on Scientists Match Dream Images To Photos · · Score: 1
  23. Re:How long until... on How Cosmological Supercomputers Evolve the Universe All Over Again · · Score: 1

    so many people these days are throwing the concept around so easily eg. Google "itself," the iPhone "itself", Internet "itself," Earth "itself," the Law "itself," money "itself..."

    so it's really quite simple: it will just run on "itself" ;-)

  24. Guess again.... on Rover Finds Ancient Streambed On Martian Surface · · Score: 1

    It wasn't the Egyptians, Chinese, Africans, and several South American civilizations, nuh uh, no way. What we have here is clearly an ancient martian craft brewery. This particular area must have been where they made their darker ambers and pales by allowing the beer to flow along the natural terrain to give them those distinct natural martian flavors and colors.

  25. Yeah, don't. on Ask Slashdot: Explaining Version Control To Non-Technical People? · · Score: 1

    A sincere supervisor will not ask a question to sincere developers when really and truly the supervisor has no intention of taking action on the matter; eg. there is no need to sell anything.

    Does anyone out there have any tips on how to sell version control to management?
