  1. Re:Sports Announcer Voice. on On the iPhone and Apple's Meteoric Rise To the Top · · Score: 1

    So God has no taste? I knew it!

  2. Re:Standard PR on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: 2

    I'll apologize after scientists explain the previous global warming events of 10,000 BC, 3000 BC, and 300-1300 A.D.

    I'll explain them after you solve the Jack the Ripper murders.

  3. Re:Religious fundamentalism on Texas GOP Educational Platform Opposes Teaching Critical Thinking Skills · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The truth is, many in the GOP say they are disgusted by the neocons but they don't do anything to discourage or oppose them. Talk is cheap.

  4. Re:Meanwhile in California on Texas GOP Educational Platform Opposes Teaching Critical Thinking Skills · · Score: 1

    Please don't feed the troll.

  5. Re:So from here on out ... on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You really think the cost of losing weight is more than the cost of being obese? Really?

  6. Re:CEO Pay on ICANN Names New CEO, Will Pay Him $800,000 To Run the Internet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Competition for qualified talent is difficult at the CEO level.

    Says who?

  7. Images! + Sound Effects! + Music! on How Madefire Is Changing the Visual Grammar of Comics · · Score: 1

    = Movies

  8. Re:It WAS privatized before TSA on Sen. Rand Paul Introduces TSA Reform Legislation · · Score: 1

    Why they didn't is a matter of speculation for government-contracted (of course!) engineers and conspiracy theorists.

    Because, as this episode of NOVA shows, they weren't built to withstand the fire that a fully-loaded plane would produce, melting the steel structure, triggering the collapse.

  9. Re:Is it necessary the vien come from a dead human on Vein Grown From Her Own Stem Cells Saves 10-Year-Old · · Score: 4, Informative

    This article touches on that in the last paragraph. In a nutshell: maybe. This is pioneering work so there are a lot of things that need to be evaluated.

  10. Re:It's from Microsoft and this is Slashdot... on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Beef With Windows Phone? · · Score: 1

    Finns like Nokia phones so as the Symbian phones go away they are replaced by Windows phones...and this is news? The combined Symbian/Windows market share remains the same. Nothing to see here.

  11. Re:It's from Microsoft and this is Slashdot... on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Beef With Windows Phone? · · Score: 1

    I believe this is mainly due to the entrenched market of Apple/Google OS phones. They were here first...

    In what context were Android and iOS phones first?

  12. Re:Two different closest living relatives? on Bonobos Join Chimps As Closest Human Relatives · · Score: 1

    Creationists beg to scoff at science every chance they get.

  13. Re:This Is News? on Can Machine Learning Replace Focus Groups? · · Score: 1

    I meant that I can't believe this is news because I assumed people had been doing this for years.

  14. This Is News? on Can Machine Learning Replace Focus Groups? · · Score: 2

    Throwing up banner ads with different color schemes and automatically re-weighting them based on click-through % is something I was doing well over ten years ago. This can't really be news, can it?

  15. Re:Most of the Rest of the Planet, However.... on Warmest 12-Month Period Recorded In US · · Score: 1

    {{fact}}??

  16. Re:Exercise sucks on Book Review: Fitness For Geeks · · Score: 0

    Of course some cardio exercise is good for one's health. It's just a shitty way to lose weight.

    Are you aware of how full of shit you are? Didn't think so.

  17. Re:Seems typical, actually. on Yahoo Board Director Patti Hart Stepping Down Over Thompson Scandal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...so he decides to dig up whatever dirt he can...

    Did you really call the truth "dirt"? Really?

  18. Re:Maybe a crackdown on steroids would help some on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the problem of guys getting depressed and suicidal if they don't come off steroids gradually. How many of those suicides happened not long after retirement (like Seau)? Plenty.

  19. Never Happen on Why Apple's Next Revolution Should Be In Your Car · · Score: 1

    Apple wants to control the total user experience. Can you imagine Apple letting a company as clueless as GM integrate Apple products into their cars? They would eventually produce the iVega. I can't see Apple allowing another company to have that much influence on their products' success.

  20. Relativity.

  21. Re:First on Code Name, Theming Update Announced For Ubuntu 12.10 · · Score: 3, Funny

    If by "priceless" you mean "gay", yes.

  22. Re:Lots more than just CPU and transfer resistors. on Why Your IT Spending Is About To Hit the Wall · · Score: 0

    3: Backups.

    I have a Time Capsule and use Backblaze. I'm set in that department (I'd like to think).

  23. Re:Culture-product on Hanging Out at Sun Studio, Where Rock and Roll Was Born (Video) · · Score: 1

    Elvis was indie when he started recording at Sun, dumbass.

  24. Re:Mini-Horn? on Audi Gives Silent Electric Car Synthetic Sound · · Score: 1

    I'm a bicyclist also. I ride in downtown traffic all the time and rely on engine noise to tell me when cars are approaching from behind.

    Then you're eventually going to be hit. Get in the habit of looking over your shoulder.

    P.S. You also shouldn't be riding so close to cars that you can get doored.

    P.P.S. I'm a cyclist.

  25. Re:My goodness on MPAA Chief Dodd Hints At Talks To Revive SOPA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The usual suspects: money and power.
