  6. Re:lithium chloride or sodium chloride? on New Air Conditioner Process Cuts Energy Use 50-90% · · Score: 1

    Well what about the Sodium Chloride option. People have lived near oceans without adverse effects.

    Well, to give you the required car analogy, salty air makes cars rust faster.

  7. Re:Pirates! on Windows Phone 7 Lacks Copy-and-Paste · · Score: 4, Funny

    And you wonder why you don't have a girlfriend when you call her a "named buffer".

  8. Re:Shocking... on Wikileaks Source Outed To Stroke Hacker's Own Ego · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You mean, put it back together again incorrectly so it no longer worked.

  11. Re:Use mod_rewrite on New Hungarian Government OMGs All Gov Sites · · Score: 1

    How do i install that on IIS 5.1?

  12. Re:One really has to wonder... on Mobile Game Trojan Calls the South Pole · · Score: 1

    Assuming you're who you say you are (and I have no reason to believe otherwise), that's about the most informative thing I've ever read on Slashdot, including the summaries. Thanks.

  13. Re:LOL on Mobile Game Trojan Calls the South Pole · · Score: 1

    Almost all BB apps I've tried will grab whatever perms they want during the install (via innocuous OS prompt, something like "Do you want to set permissions for this app?").

    With that said, the BB perms are pretty granular. If you don't set the perms, when you run it you'll get prompts like "Allow [program] to access maliciousad.doubleclick.net?" and you can "deny always".

  14. Re:Broken test on Students Show a Dramatic Drop In Empathy · · Score: 1

    If you don't answer the question at all, you get a zero. Your problem is you cared enough to answer.

    Horses are hung. Parliament is hanged.

  17. Re:bad journalism on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: 3, Funny

    nobody can second guess what fruits fundemental research will bear.

    Most of the research I've done into fundamentalists indicates that they don't bear fruits well at all.

    And I don't think you're supposed to call them "fruits", it's kind of derogatory.

  18. Re:I know on The Mystery of the Mega-Selling Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    No, he uses AOL floppies for that.

  19. Re:Wikipedia to the rescue on SCO Asks Judge To Give Them the Unix Copyright · · Score: 2, Funny

    Isn't CBS a cable network?

    No. CBS is a television network. Ethernet, Arcnet, Token Ring and Localtalk are cable networks.

  20. But does it run Linux? on Change In Experiment Will Delay Shuttle Launch · · Score: 5, Funny

    If only it ran Ubuntu, then we'd know what's the Shuttleworth.

    Why would your cat have its own fridge, and why would you hang your photos there?

  22. Re:What's the point? on Gizmodo Blows Whistle On 4G iPhone Loser · · Score: 1

    It's likely that he's going to be terminated (from his employment, not physically), if he hasn't been already

    Lucky for him he doesn't work for Foxconn in China.

  24. Re:So fat, so dangerous on Shuttle Reentry Over the Continental US · · Score: 2, Funny

    Your mama

    a) is dumber

    b) has a significantly higher volume and mass than our reentry vehicles, and essentially wears quite small amounts of drag

    c) enters the atmosphere extremely fat

    All in all, often still carrying lots of weight because she's so dense. Where she loses a large part of her mass to ablation, often shatters. We don't want to do that with your momma.
