  1. Re:Umm no. on Ask Slashdot: State of the Art In DIY Security Systems? · · Score: 1

    The police have better things to do.

    And I wish they'd get off their asses and do them.

  2. Re:Olive oil? on What Would French Fries Taste Like If You Made Them On Jupiter? · · Score: 2

    Bake the fries.

    I bet you think sex with a condom is just as good as bareback.

    Oh, wait, slashdot:

    I bet you think masturbation is just as good as sex with another person.

    So when's someone gonna pick up the new Slashdot design then? :-D

    No fair, dog shit is less toxic.

    Whatever you may think of katz, it is an apt description.

    From some perspectives.

  5. Re:If UNIX were a religion... on If UNIX Were a Religion · · Score: 1

    Stop calling Scientology a church. They are not.

    They are a tax evading criminal company selling a bogus cult for big money. Nothing else.

    Rome called; they want their business model back.

  6. Re:You mean Andrew Tanenbaum on If UNIX Were a Religion · · Score: 1

    Minix is an ensigns training ship. The Navy doesn't put the latest guns on an ensigns training ship, because it's purpose is not to sail out into battle.

    The desire to make something due what it is clearly unsuited for has forced Linux to become what it is over the years. Sometimes painfully.

  7. Re:The Disney version. on Public Domain Day 2014 · · Score: 1

    Nice, but Maleficent isn't Sleeping Beauty, generic or otherwise.

  8. Re:Off-topic question on No Question: Snowden Was 2013's Most Influential Tech Figure · · Score: 1

    I think most (all) of the documents got handed over to Greenwald. At first, Greenwald pushed most stuff through his employer, The Guardian, with a few other outlets to increase exposure outside the UK. Now it seems they will be used to help bootstrap a new venture that Greenwald is starting.

  9. Re:Who takes apart their laptop? on Apple's New Mac Pro Gets High Repairability Score · · Score: 0

    Since when is the Mac Pro a laptop?

    He's a slashdot poster. Chances are his lap is plenty big enough to put a Mac Pro on it.

  10. Re:The future is on its way on A Year With Google Glass · · Score: 1

    If they were that innocuous, they wouldn't be a 'fashion' concept. Double edged sword there. Judging by the author and the writings of most Glass users, half of the point (or more) is "LOOK AT ME!!!!11!!!! I'm wearing Glass!!" Hard to be better than everyone else when it isn't obvious.

  11. Re:Hipster logic on A Year With Google Glass · · Score: 1

    "I'm going to wear these obnoxiously ugly glasses that happen to record everything I see. People object to my presence, but that's fine, because I totally spent one and a half thousand dollars on this accessory that marks me as a smug upper-class, privacy-invading nerd. Google Glass is here to stay (and don't forget I was into it before it was cool)."

    Bzzt. False. Lies. Why would you make up shit like this? It was the hipster's mommy and daddy who spent the money on this toy for their overgrown manchild. (Ok, ok, it could be from a trustfund...)

  12. Re:Makes sense on New Study Shows One-Third of Americans Don't Believe In Evolution · · Score: 1

    The worst morons are the ones who think they're so far above the great unwashed masses.

    Like the people who just can't understand how anyone could possibly use a tablet instead of a desktop replacement laptop?

  13. Re:And this is somehow supposed to be a surprise? on New Study Shows One-Third of Americans Don't Believe In Evolution · · Score: 1

    The real question is "did humans evolve from some lower primate, and eventually from some soupy goop, or was there some other starting state?"

    The earth was seeded by Martians, ask Story Musgrave he knows how it all went down.

    Gil Gerard takes exception at your absurd theories about the genesis of life on Earth.

    Such folk are why schools are Hellmouths.

    Whoa! Jon Katz flashback.

  15. Plenty of immigrants to America were essentially banished from their home countries. Which I believe strengthens your conclusion.

  16. No surprise on World's First Cycle Trip To the South Pole Achieved · · Score: 1

    The guy trying it in a car was probably following traffic laws, while this jackhole on a cycle likey rode through the red lights. Typical.

    The irony is that of many of those Libertarians will claim that Malpractice tort reform (ie, payout limits) will improve the costs of healthcare.

    FWIW, it's allowed in many (most?) competitions in the US. No idea what IOC rules are

  20. Yogi Berra on Researchers Claim Facebook Is 'Dead and Buried' To Many Young Users · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded.

    And trust me, it's not because it's "uncool", its because the little shits are afraid of getting caught.

    Ah. Living alone with multivitamins it is, then.

    Could you speak a little louder? Hard to hear you down here when you're perched on your high horse like that.

    That's why I only drink grain alcohol. Well, that and the communist plot that is fluoridation.

    The other reason to put vitamin D in dairy is the effect of it on calcium in the body.

    Are powder or primers prohibited in the UK?

    Yes.

    What legitimate use do they have? None.
