  1. Re:Placards on Nuclear Truckers Haul Warheads Across US · · Score: 1

    Now, now, anyone that does things that you don't like must be dumberer than you. That's essentially the core message of all politics - and this story is all politics.

  2. Re:Trains? on Nuclear Truckers Haul Warheads Across US · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why not use trains, at least for most of the journey?

    Two words: Atomic Hobo.

  3. Someone's got an eye on retirement on Are UK Police Hacking File-Sharers' Computers? · · Score: 1

    Dear Chief Inspector Dimbleby, please taze those bros for us. By the way, we may have a position of Director of Law Enforcement Liason available up next quarter. No reason we mention that. How's your police pension looking? Love and cuddles, the IFPI.

  4. Re:Well.. on School Sends Child's Lunch Home After Determining it Unhealthy · · Score: 0

    Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a Food Inspector at the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services now.

  5. Not news to me on James Randi's Latest Debunking Operation · · Score: 1

    Since his minions have been astroturfing it on completely unrelated forums for the last week. It's still relatively harmless charlatanism compared to what he investigates, but don't mistake that Randi the corporate entity is all about the money.

  6. Re:Bizarre and Confusing Summary on Major Bitcoin Exchange Ceases Operation · · Score: 1

    Just so we're clear, that "salesdrone" is making more per hour than you are with your bitcoin master plan.

  7. Re:Sister Who?? on Sale Or License? Sister Sledge Sues Over ITunes · · Score: 1

    A lawyer once told me ...

    Bear in mind that lawyers are wrong half the time. On the other hand, they make $500 an hour for running a few searches then copy-and-pasting other peoples' arguments, so it's probably worth picking up a few tips.

  8. I could never, ever date someone on Study: Online Dating Makes People "Picky" and "Unrealistic" · · Score: 1

    Who writes "it's" as a possessive in an article summary.

  9. Re:prevention is the key on Robert Boisjoly Dies At 73, the Engineer Who Tried To Stop the Challenger Launch · · Score: 0

    He's an engineer and 3 of them argued

    Five, not three. But hey, close enough, we can't all do kindergarten arithmetic or the words read be good at.

  10. Re:A prize nomination? on Robert Boisjoly Dies At 73, the Engineer Who Tried To Stop the Challenger Launch · · Score: 1

    Dredge the bottomless pit of sludge that is Slashdot for long enough, and one can very occasionally find a gleaming nugget of pure gold. Well said, sir.

  11. Re:12/21/2012 on Higgs Signal Gains Strength · · Score: 1

    Take off every 'HIGG'!!

  12. "12,000 [to] 200,000 years old" on Australian Scientists Discover 'Oldest Living Thing On Earth' · · Score: 1

    That's some pretty big error bars you're rocking there.

    Just the same stunt as carbon daters have been pulling for years: keep sending in samples until the lab either gives get a range that agrees with the thesis you've already written or book that you're trying to sell, or you run out of funding.

  13. First customers get them February 24th on First Run of Raspberry Pi Boards To Be Completed Feb 20th · · Score: -1

    First returns by March 1st, out of business by the middle of the month amid blog posts of "Paying customers expected a working product? Who knew?"

    Putting a "Told you so" stake in the ground here, for future reference.

  14. Re:USA? on Lenovo Ordered To Refund 'Microsoft Tax' · · Score: 1

    bought a Lenovo laptop and tried to get them to refund the Windows license I was not planning to use and they said they won't do that.

    Edited For Accuracy. The best way to get a drink out of a Vogon is to stick your fingers down his throat.

  15. Re:2.5million hectares per GW (annual average) on MIT Envisions DIY Solar Cells Made From Grass Clippings · · Score: 0

    Global warming denialist! Big Oil puppet snake!

  16. Quite right too on Indian Court Orders Google To Remove Content · · Score: 1

    All gods are deserving of equal protection under the law, no matter how utterly ludicrous any sane, rational mind would find the completely risible concept of worshipping magical monkeys and frilly-skirted four-armed elephant things.

  17. Re:Government Contract in Search of a Problem? on Full-Body Scans Rolled Out At All Australian International Airports · · Score: 4, Funny

    What problem does Australia have that this is solving?

    They may be getting on top of their skin cancer problem, and need to drive some demand.

  19. Re:Now, the Predators come on Lake Vostok Reached · · Score: 5, Funny

    The team is in constant communication

    But all they've been communicating is "Send more ugly-bags-of-mostly-water".

  20. Re:Lesson of the day: on Google In Battle With Its Own Lawyers · · Score: 1

    Uh, "the legislature" is overwhelmingly composed of lawyers. There's no need to lobby them. Laws are predominantly written by lawyers, for lawyers.

  21. Re:Decision was between Rafale vs Typhoon on India Turns Down American Fighter Jets, Buys From France · · Score: 1

    Thanks for that. The one time a Slashdot submission is actually more than just a copy-paste of the article's first paragraph, it's almost entirely wrong.

    The Rafale shows what you can produce if you don't have to support the overheads of 4 nations' bickering politicians and strategists, lobbyists and other assorted parasites.

    Eurofighter/Typhoon was essentially doomed from the start to be an ideal compromise: a 'plane that disappointed everyone equally. Also overweight, over budget, and delivered long after the threat that it was designed to meet was obsolete. In other words, an ideal pork project.

  22. And unbunch panties on Canada's Massive Public Traffic Surveillance System · · Score: 1

    Your plates are already public information. These systems (the UK has had one for years) just read that information and flag up PlusBad. The argument is really about the likelihood of being caught.

    Of course, someone will post about how their sainted grandmother was gunned down by El Federales because Bankrobber Billy cloned her plates on his getaway car and it was picked up by an A?PR system. Bring it.
