  1. Re: Doom and gloom on Climatologists: By 2100, the Earth Will Have an Entirely Different Ocean · · Score: 2

    yes... but then you say... right, I'll believe it when it comes to market.

  2. Re:That's stupid on Climatologists: By 2100, the Earth Will Have an Entirely Different Ocean · · Score: 1, Troll

    ...of course no mentioning of, oh say, your actual reasoning!

  3. There is no life in the void. on Galactic Survey: The Universe Dying as Old Stars Fade Faster Than New Ones Are Born · · Score: 1

    Looks like as time approaches infinity, the sum = 0

  4. Re:Waiting for the trolls... on KFC South Africa Lets Customers Listen To Music Using Bone Conduction · · Score: 1

    ...which is basically creating a Streisand effect, and since she's jewish it'll lead to jokes about jews... which is basically anti-semitism... which leads to NAZI jokes... which leads to Mel Brooks... who is jewish, but also makes black people jokes, which leads back to KFC, which leads back to South Africa... which leads to .. Kevin Bacon... Why Kevin Bacon you ask...? ...because all roads lead to Kevin Bacon eventually. Thank you.

  5. Eat rice with EVERY meal! on Genetically Modified Rice Makes More Food, Less Greenhouse Gas · · Score: 1

    The new rice pulls off this trick by putting more of its energy into top growth.

    How long before rumors start about eating this rice creating larger breasts!

  6. Re:The Slashdot crowd rises up and says on Criminal Inquiry Sought Over Hillary Clinton's Personal Email Server · · Score: 1

    wait.. let me guess... a TRUMP supporter?

  7. Emissions! on NY Mayor Commits To Reduce Emissions 40% By 2030 · · Score: 1

    So THAT'S the reason behind that soda ban!

  8. Re:550 Billion.. on NASA Funded Study States People Could Be On the Moon By 2021 For $10 Billion · · Score: 1

    "Much, much better to be the invader than the invaded."

    Historically speaking... how do you think your civilization will be viewed with that philosophy?

  9. Life in 'MURICA on New Horizons Phones Home After Pluto Flyby -- Craft Healthy, Data Recorded · · Score: 0

    Now.... How can we weaponize this data!!!!?

  10. Venutians vs Martians on First Human Colonies Should Be Among Venus' Clouds · · Score: 1

    It would be interesting to see how human beings from different colonies on different planets evolve to adapt to their new environments, and I don't think it would take long at all for changes to happen. I believe nature moves quicker than we realize.

  11. Wrong headline.. on New Manufacturing Technique Halves Cost of Lithium-Ion Batteries · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "New Manufacturing Technique Doubles Profit of Lithium-Ion Batteries"

    There, now it feels right.

  12. Dividing by a void on Ask Slashdot: What's the Harm In a Default Setting For Div By Zero? · · Score: 1

    Dividing by zero means your dividing by nothing, which is a logic error. It doesn't cause the thing your not dividing to become nothing.

  13. In other news.... on Should Nuclear Devices Be Kept On Hand To Protect Against Near Earth Objects? · · Score: 1

    ... major league baseball is pondering on whether or not to use advanced bottle rockets to deflect incoming baseballs from colliding with batters!

  14. ...and the wealthy shall live FOREVER! on Ask Slashdot: What Happens If We Perfect Age Reversing? · · Score: 1

    Age reversal won't happen to everyone right away... you know who gets it first right... you betcha... the $$$ crowd. So think about it, you've amassed this giant fortune, and NOW you get to enjoy it forever and ever and ever.... meanwhile, all those who slaved to created that wealth, well... they just get to wither and die, leaving a dwidling population to be slaves to the ultra wealthy.

    If this weren't conspiracy theory kind of stuff it would be downright scary!

  15. Distribution of Information on How a Scientist Fooled Millions With Bizarre Chocolate Diet Claims · · Score: 1

    Gosh people believed what a scientist had to say... WHAT A STORY... next thing you know people will be taking their doctors advice! Scientists by and large are a trusted segment of the public, with the public having an understanding of the scientific process and that scientists CAN be wrong. That's how our information works. Researchers do experiments and publish results. News outlets pick up stories and broadcast them to a wider audience. If this disinformation had been allowed to just stand on it's own merits, it would eventually fall flat on its face as other scientists put the information to the test. The only thing this journalist accomplished was damaging the credibility of scientists! *DING* I think we have our motive.

  16. Re:overturn murder conviction? on Prison Messaging System JPay Withdraws Copyright Claims · · Score: 4, Insightful

    most incidents of wrongful imprisonment involve police investigators and prosecutors, both of which are heavily protected against any charges of wrongful imprisonment, malicious prosecution, and the like.

    Maybe that's the part that needs to change. Take away some of those protections and then maybe you'll have prosecutors who will place the truth over their own careers.

  17. Re:this is science, so you have to ask... on Scientists Have Paper On Gender Bias Rejected Because They're Both Women · · Score: 1

    No he wouldn't be wrong, but a better question to be studied would be "Would two male scientists doing the same research have their paper challenged in the same fashion?" because if you eliminate enough variables you have a higher probability of coming up with the correct answer.

  18. Re:Poisonous Fecal Cocktail? on Ancient Megadrought Entombed Dodos In Poisonous Fecal Cocktail · · Score: 1

    That's not something you hear often...

    ...but you know what? ....it works.

  19. Sadly, this includes every possible system that I'm aware of.

    Then it's not the system that needs to be changed.

  20. Re:Execute the fastest way possible on Oklahoma Says It Will Now Use Nitrogen Gas As Its Backup Method of Execution · · Score: 1

    I am an opponent of the death penalty, but one minute of holding breath is not the same. When you are holding breath, you have stored oxygen in your blood. After decapitation there is no more blood flowing.

    ...but there is oxygen rich blood already in the brain....

  21. Re:not enough money on Report: Chinese Government Plans To Put 3D Printers In All Elementary Schools · · Score: 2

    Leftists always get together to gain strength and impose their stupidity on others.

    Wow... the right claiming to be the party of intelligence.... just wow....

  22. Alien plots need to be rewritten on The Solar System Is Awash In Water · · Score: 1

    Scientist 1: "They're here for the water!!!!" /GASP

    Nerdy Intern: "Actually, our solar system has tons of water that they don't need to waste resources destroying our civilization to gain access to it."

    Scientist 1: "They're here for the WOMEN!!!! /GASP

  23. SAD... just f#$%ing SAD on Sen. Feinstein Says Anarchist Cookbook Should Be "Removed From the Internet" · · Score: 1

    Politicians really live in their own little bubble worlds when 99% of the ignorant masses are more tech savvy than our own lawmakers. The words "out of touch" seem woefully inadequate to describe the kind of mind numbing ignorance that we've come to expect from our own politicians. What makes it even more depressing is that this doesn't even come remotely as a surprise.

    If this doesn't make a case for term limits then I have no idea what would. Some of these people would be ill suited to even push a mop at a fast food chain. These career politicians NEED time in the real world.. and I don't mean some cushy consulting job. I mean real labor where you actually have to scratch a living under the policies they've created, without their "connections" or someone to pull strings for them. They're not of the people and they certainly aren't FOR the people. They're just (and it actually pains me to say this) COMPLETE AND UTTER DUMB ASSES!

  24. Re:Sure on How Professional Russian Trolls Operate · · Score: 1

    I honestly don't care if they're getting paid or not... 99% of them are so easy to spot it's laughable. Always look at their history, if it's mostly Russian conflict stories then *ping* They'll refer to NATO or Ukraine as fascist *ping* They LOVE to use a basic western first name and claim to be American. Ironically when they're pretending to be American they're typically support a conservative stance politically.

  25. LEGO$ on Dad and Daughter Recreate Jurassic Park With $100,000 In Lego Pieces · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Dad and Daughter Recreate Jurassic Park With $100,000 In Lego Pieces" it always amazes me what people can pull off with such limited resources.
