  1. mark-up pricing on Ask Slashdot: Is Postgres On Par With Oracle? · · Score: 0

    Personally, I think it all comes down to accountability; that and "in-house" buying and mark-up. With open source software, there isn't any "mark-up" pricing for businesses.

  2. racist? on Spanish Chatbot Hunts For Pedophiles · · Score: 0

    Its name is Negobot.

    Isn't that racist?

  3. the deep ocean on Interviews: Ask James Gosling About Java and Ocean Exploring Robots · · Score: 0

    Has Liquid Robotics ever considered making any 'Aletta Ocean' robotics for the deep, deep ocean (using Borg technology, of course)?

  4. Heil VW on Volkswagen Concept Car Averages 262 MPG · · Score: 0

    Sieg Heil VolksWagon !

  5. Re:Metric Units. on Volkswagen Concept Car Averages 262 MPG · · Score: -1

    Sadly enough, someone is sabotaging this country and there is little anyone can do about it; Wait until next year.

  6. Xmas gift on Apple Hires CEO of Yves Saint Laurent To Head Special Projects · · Score: 0

    "Mom, mom, can I get one of those new 'Apple LCD-TV shirts(TM)' this year? I've been a good boy."
    "Long or short sleeve?"

  7. Yay for the Logos of Science!

  8. What about Cyborgs? on UN Debates Rules Surrounding Killer Robots · · Score: 0

    I would imagine that the rules for "killer robots" should be quite obvious. The real question I would imagine would be toward cyborgs. I would imagine this would be in their "extended" version in the U.N law books. I've only read the 5 main U.N law books but wasn't allowed to view their extended versions which had a whole library dedicated to them.

  9. Horus on Iron In Egyptian Relics Came From Space · · Score: 0

    [monotheistic] God be praised to the House of Horus.

  10. implications on Device Can Extract DNA With Full Genetic Data In Minutes · · Score: 0

    I got a feeling that the implications that result from this will be worse than what that great movie, GATTACA, projected it might be. De-gene-rates, indeed. Although, to be honest, this has all be happening silently for a long time so...all women are experts in genetics. As I know, there is only one way to defend from all this.

  11. the New emperor on Noodle Robots Replacing Workers In Chinese Restaurants · · Score: 1

    Looking at the picture from the news article, I got the feeling that all those robots looked like the Terracotta Army. If only he could program them to fight Kung Fu, then he might have that army. Then again, he might then put them in the Robot Combat League.

  12. Re:What now? on Noodle Robots Replacing Workers In Chinese Restaurants · · Score: 0

    Do you have a minor in Dumplings to fall back on?

  13. Re:No Ketchin' the Chechin. on Police Capture Second Marathon Bombing Suspect in Watertown, Mass. · · Score: 0

    Until he was squished like a tomato and told to "Ketchup."

  14. app on In Iceland, Tap Cellphones To Avoid Incest · · Score: 0

    I don't care, no app is going to tell me that I can't have sex with my sister's brother's cousin. ( I jest)

  15. wow on Antares Rocket Launch Scrubbed · · Score: -1

    so it was aborted? it wasn't planned? what a bastard of a rocket. That's what you get for doing a Caesarean section.

  16. Old-fashoned on Trader Pleads Guilty To Illegal Purchase of Nearly $1B In Apple Stock · · Score: 1

    I make money the old-fashioned way, I mune it.

  17. Re:Worried on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 1

    "When somebody you don't even know declares open war on you, and underhandedly and violently attacks you, you do things you normally wouldn't do."

    That's when they shut you up and send you to a mental hospital. The powers that be are at hand here. What is worse, is that all these so-called "disasters" could be prevented but the person(s) responsible for it fail to act or do the best they can to minimize it. It's a chess game of politics in which "might makes right" prevails and therefore, people are allowed to fail.

    (Btw, you made a great statement with which I agree)

  18. the hill on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 1

    the Boston Marathon is known for being one of the toughest marathons out there because of the giant 6-mile uphill at the end. This just made it worse for the runners. Considering the Boston marathon is a national tourist attraction, my guess is that this was aimed at hurting Boston's economy.

  19. LN on North Korea Declares a State of War · · Score: 1

    The USA should join the League of Nations.

  20. Re:Definitions. on Jedi May Be Allowed To Perform Marriage Ceremonies In Scotland · · Score: 1

    I would imagine if a Jedi would marry someone, that you'd have to go see a Sith Lord to get divorced.

  21. Re:Thailand on How a Programmer Gets By On $16K/Yr: He Moves to Malaysia · · Score: 1

    I agree that Thailand is a beautiful country. I was there on project for 4 months and had the time of my life there. No man will go lonely there, at least in Pattaya. The Thai people were very friendly and the food was extremely spicy. Then again, I stayed at a resort hotel and I saw some of the worst poverty in the streets. Oddly enough, since I was there on project, I could only stay there a month at a time so I was sent to Malaysia and back. But after traveling the world, I've found that each place has its pro's and con's. In summary, if you are with a solid company within a good industry, you'll have a better quality of life.

  22. use the Decepticons for this. on A Moon Base Made From Lunar Dust · · Score: 1

    I think they are proposing using the lunar dust as a cement filler, to make concrete and such. Therefore, they just need some mixers and water. They will probably create bunkers underground from surface mines. On another note and without getting too technical, we should just let the Decepticons and KKK to handle this mission.

  23. 23 on A Quarter of Sun-Like Stars Host Earth-Size Worlds · · Score: 1

    23 huh? There are also 23 flavors in Dr. Pepper. Is there a connection?
