  1. If that's the case... on Heavy Metal and Emergent Behavior · · Score: 0

    Then my metal comrades and I whipped up some awesome science last night at a Turisas show. I wonder if I can get a grant to incite mosh pits for the purpose of studying...

  2. Re:I patented the patent process on Amazon Patents the Milkman · · Score: 0

    That was my immediate thought too!

    Cuts out the middle man and according to my projections, will lead to greater amounts of profit. And we all know it's really about the profits! If only I had filed a patent for making money....

  3. Re:No thanks on Experience the New Slashdot Mobile Site · · Score: 0

    I've yet to see a mobile site that is even comparable to the full site. Bring back the full site only, please!

  4. Re:Racism is a cause, on Racism In Online Ad Targeting · · Score: 0

    The problem is that it re-enforces the stereotype and actually does cause certain behaviour.

    Wouldn't this extend out to every ad? If I search for tech related terms, they are reinforcing the tech stereotype by giving me more tech ads. You've placed a line arbitrarily in the sand with race. If everyone were truly treated equally, wouldn't ads NOT cater to the individual?

  5. Re:pardon me on Lego Accused of Racism With Star Wars Set · · Score: 1

    The Celestials come from the land to the East. Better?

  6. Perfectry Regal on Lego Accused of Racism With Star Wars Set · · Score: 1

    As-ah you know, their brockade of Rego is-ah perfectry regal.

    Far be it from Lucas ever to put something culturally insensitive in his movies....As stated by others, this really shouldn't have been an issue. LucasArts designed it, it's only vaguely similar, and everyone can just stop being dumb at any point now.

  7. Yub Yub on The Most Important Meeting You've Never Heard of · · Score: 2

    WCIT – pronounced 'wicket'. Wicket as in Wicket Wystri Warrick? - "Starcruiser go CRISH CRISH!" CRISH CRISH as in the internet plummeting to it's doom? I see what they've done here....

  8. Re:But what about Nuka Cola? on US Military Tested the Effects of a Nuclear Holocaust On Beer · · Score: 1

    Nuka Cola was my first thought while reading this as well. I suppose we can also set up the market for Gamma Gulp as well.

  9. Re:Old News... on Gloves Translate Sign Language Into Auditory Speech · · Score: 1

    Amy, good Gorilla. Amy pretty. Amy love you.

    This is immediately what I thought of when I read the headline as well!

  10. Orwell on Feds Plan 'Fog of Disinformation' To Track Information Leaks · · Score: 1

    Anyone else have a 1984-esque feeling about this? I just picture people sitting at cubicles 'modifying' info, history, news, etc. Eerie...

  11. Realistically, we should be able to subscribe to cable channels in a modular fashion. Then your bill [in perfect theorycraft] shouldn't be all that large unless you wanted to subscribe to all those channels. Do I want sports, mass news, reality, talk show, or 99% of the channels I have? No! But I pay for them anyways because the two channels I do want to watch require I pay for them. It's time to redesign the system in my opinion. I know it can't go completely modular, but the current system is FUBAR.
