  1. Re:Listen to what I have to say on HDTV Expert Alfred Poor Tells You What to Buy and What Not to Buy (Video) · · Score: 4, Funny

    For the best experience in mortal coil shuffling, I recommend Monster Cable brand mortal coil. It's death contacts are gold tipped, because that matters to digital mortal coil shuffling just as much as analog mortal coil shuffling.

  2. Re:Sure blame the taste buds... on Science Reveals Why Airplane Food Tastes So Bad · · Score: 5, Funny

    The usefulness of your analogy gets a score of 2 pencil sharpeners out of 89.4 green elephants.

  3. oh that's easy on Amateur Astronomer Spots Strange Cloud Formations On Mars · · Score: 1

    the cloud is formed from all the money Disney burned and lost to make and market John Carter of Mars

  4. Remember the movie Falling Down? on Maybe the FAA Gadget Ban On Liftoff and Landing Isn't So Bad · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_Down

    I'm generally an easy going guy, but I have never been closer to murdering a total stranger in public than when some asshole starting talking loudly on a quiet train into his cellphone

    simple decency consideration and respect. some people do not understand the concept

    i can only imagine the douchebaggery that will go on and bring airplane travel into an even worse circle of hell, if that is even possible, when utterly socially inept twatstains start yammering about their laundry and their dogs and the celebrity they sited and the awesome upcoming party on flights

    prisons, cinemas, planes, trains, concert halls: signals only carry 911 and data

    this is not rocket science, and it is something the vast majority would agree with

    write your congresscritter

  5. Re:bring it on. on French President Proposes Jail For Terrorist Website Visitors · · Score: 1

    there is a universal standard: treat others with respect. its not complicated. are you being willfully ignorant here, whats the source of the hesitation here over the obvious here? you have every right to judge what is wrong by your HUMAN conscience. i didnt say american. i didnt say muslim. i said human. cultural and religious differences do not trump your humanity

  6. Re:bring it on. on French President Proposes Jail For Terrorist Website Visitors · · Score: 1

    that yucky feeling is a valid biological response, not a cultural or moral one: you get diseases this way

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)

    eating the dead of your own species is a last resort biological thing, not a last resort cultural or moral one

    i also always assumed it is why some religions ban eating pork. South Pacific Islanders called human flesh "long pig": take a wild guess what we taste like

  7. Re:bring it on. on French President Proposes Jail For Terrorist Website Visitors · · Score: 1

    and for that, they get kuru:

    if enough pakistanis tell you this is ok, its ok by you?:

    http://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/03/22/202385.html

    cannibalism was once ok in certain parts of the world. its about evolving away from bad practices to better ones

    you may say i have an absolutist position, but it is you who has the absolutist position: that culture's mores never change, and are unquestionable

    i object as a human being to your relativity, an excuse to justify atrocities. nationalism and religion do not excuse gross violations of simple human rights

  9. Re:bring it on. on French President Proposes Jail For Terrorist Website Visitors · · Score: 1

    the toulouse gunman did this a few days ago, outside the jewish school

    cited in numerous news sites

    so this was just made up in order to justify censorship?

    are you a paranoid schizophrenic?

  10. Re:bring it on. on French President Proposes Jail For Terrorist Website Visitors · · Score: 5, Insightful

    this is the kind of warped perspective that makes no sense to me

    so much venom for the west

    what do you think of guys who hold the hair of eight year old girls and execute them?

    i'm not supporting this ridiculous visit-a-website,go-to-jail law. it's stupid

    i'm taking a stand against the warped perspective that: the west does something you dislike, so you support something far worse

    you do realize it's possible to be disgusted by BOTH islamic radicalization and censorial overreach, right?

  11. Problems: on Millions In China Live In Energy Efficient Caves · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Radon

    Air quality (unless all the bathroom business and cooking is done outside).

    You better like the temperature inside, because you're certainly not burning anything to keep warm: carbon monoxide and low oxygen.

    But not a lot of noise complaints I bet.

  12. The talk is always about break-even with fusion on Ask MIT Researchers About Fusion Power · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But about capturing the power? Are we generating heat that will drive steam turbines?

    What schemes to capture and harness the power exist?

  13. "trivial to circumvent" on New York Times Halves Monthly Free Article Views To Ten · · Score: 5, Insightful

    you realize that for most people deleting cookies only from nytimes.com is technically challenging

    What's wrong with Nena?

    OK, How about 70s American pop music? Norman Greenbaum:

    When I die and they lay me to rest
    Gonna go to the place that's the best
    When I lay me down to die
    Goin' up to the server in the sky

    Goin' up to the server in the sky
    That's where I'm gonna go when I die
    When I die and they lay me to rest
    Gonna go to the place that's the best

    Prepare yourself, you know it's a must
    Gotta have a friend in Jesus
    So you know that when you die
    He's gonna recommend you to the server in the sky ...

    Hast du etwas Zeit fuer mich
    Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer dich

    Und dass sowas von sowas kommt

    99 Luftboxens
    Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
    Hielt man fuer Ufos aus dem All
    Darum schickte ein General
    'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher

    Dabei war'n da am Horizont
    Nur 99 Luftboxens ...

  20. I think we should make 3 AM 6 AM permanently on Did Benjamin Franklin Invent Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 1

    the sun would set at midnight in the summer. how awesome would that be?

    if you have to go to work in the morning, it might as well be at the coldest darkest hour, since if something has to suck, it ought to suck completely

    save the daylight for when you can really appreciate it: leisure time

  21. Angry Birds Space on Ask Slashdot: How To Find Expertise For Amateur Game Development? · · Score: 1

    fine, you've made your point

    but the official coder manual officially classifies neckbeards as

    young neckbeard, adult neckbeard, elder neckbeard, and ancient neckbeard

    with Hit Points 100, 300, 700, and 1500, respectively

    the ancient variety is allowed to cast Befuddlement at will with a savings throw adjustment of -6 on your character's intelligence rating. i see you tried to cast that spell in your past post

    but i have no idea what this "advanced" neckbeard is you refer too. i don't think such a neckbeard classification exists... oh shoot, did you just Befuddle me?

    fine, i'll wait out the next 3 turns

    *sigh*
