  1. Re:What? on NPR: '80s Ads Are Responsible For the Lack of Women Coders · · Score: 1

    If Kiel interprets his posted saying the same way that I do, then I imagine we're much happier than you. See while you're out fighting for justice, we are content knowing that we have taken the steps necessary to ensure we aren't part of the problem, but your bitch is that we aren't part of the solution either. Well, first off, freedom. But secondly, whatever happened to deferring to experts? Do you want me to be in your way all the time? I am a shitty justice warrior. I'd only slow you down and trip you up, so if you were smart, you'd be happy to leave me at the fucking house while you march on Washington. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. If I can't lead and I can't follow, I'm getting out of your damned way. I bet I sleep a lot better than you do. Stress will kill you!

  2. Racist gonna race... on NPR: '80s Ads Are Responsible For the Lack of Women Coders · · Score: 1

    I remember those days well. What's your point? Are you trying to say that the reason we have toxic and thin drywall is because of Hispanics? That's the dumbest thing I've heard all week!

  3. Maybe we need a Surgeon General on Ebola Does Not Require an "Ebola Czar," Nor Calling Up the National Guard · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Would all of this talk about a Czar be an end run around the current problem of the Repubs blocking all nominations for a Surgeon General? Maybe that's the only way the administration feels they can have a real working department head?

  4. I don't work for the store! on An Algorithm to End the Lines for Ice at Burning Man · · Score: 1

    Nice jab at American bashing, he who has a withered up staff (pretty sure we make a pill for that, just sayin), but there is one clear and simple reason that I hate systems like this and the self checkouts Walmart now employs: I'M NOT A WALMART EMPLOYEE! Don't ask me to do your job. If you need me to do everything in the store for you, because you are a cheap ass CEO, then why am I even coming through your doors? I'm buying damned near everything now via Amazon and it works out fine. Anything that I have to have right this minute can be bought at one of the smaller chains or the mom-and-pop grocers even if it is a bit higher in price because "fuck you, that's why". It is just one more symptom of the endemic problem with corporate cost cutting that I just can't stand. Those CEOs need bigger bonuses so little Jenny can have that new Maserati and all the poor folks can go die in the ditch.

  5. Re:Heavier than air flight is impossible on The Physics of Why Cold Fusion Isn't Real · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked, zeppelins were an easily controlled method of transporting passengers. I really feel for those guys- just like I do with Tesla. You have one damned fire and everyone loses their shit. You never live that kind of stuff down.

    You two can argue semantics all day long. Doesn't matter one bit. He was WRONG :D

    Hey don't forget about Alchemy. It was a real science too!

    Nikola Tesla made just as many wild assed claims but we don't shit all over him do we?

    Good thing you've invested in Lockheed! They're going to build a fusion reactor soon!

  10. Re:lead makes you crazy on As Prison Population Sinks, Jails Are a Steal · · Score: 1

    Wiki says you're not entirely correct.

    "TEL was phased out starting in the U.S. in the mid-1970s"
    "Leaded-fuel bans for road vehicles came into effect as follows:"
    "USA: January 1st 1996 California: 1992"

    Oh yeah! I know right? People who say money doesn't buy happiness just haven't ever had enough money!

    You mean joking about the school-is-prison thing right? Cause your other idea of repurposing empty prisons sounds fine to me!

    It sure does! Prisoners who do hard labor do get paid for it. It's basically scrip and certainly below minimum wage, but to quote C&C:Red Alert "At least I have job!"

    Yep! Romney loves this plan! See before incarceration, those people were the Takers, but now that they're on the inside, they're the Makers-- makers of fine license plates, clocks, paper towels, and fine over-the-phone tech support.

    Did you know that Scotland's wool industry is also suffering in this horrible economy? It seems the #1 purchaser of wool, the kilt industry, has had a terrible drop in sales because they are having a difficult time finding men, TRUE Scotsmen, that want to wear their kilts! Crazy I know!

  22. Doesn't have to be OEM on Tesla Teardown Reveals Driver-facing Electronics Built By iPhone 6 Suppliers · · Score: 2

    *sigh* you can replace it with an aftermarket EFI system, too, instead of carbing it. Just because the part doesn't have Ford stamped on it, doesn't mean it can't work on it! You can directly swap another Ford EFI engine in. You could do any number of things other than carbing it or scrapping it. You just aren't using your imagination or you're terribly lazy. Where did the hacker culture of Slashdot go? I thought this was supposed to be the year of the Maker?

    Also those that just have to have OEM parts amuse me. You fell for the hype. It's cool though, it's your money you're wasting.

    Fear does kill, and I gotta say you are probably the most scared sounding person on this website. I mean you've been talking about shooting people in this story. Not very pious of you, your holiness.
