  1. Re:Reckless! on World Is Ignoring Most Important Lesson From Fukushima · · Score: 0

    And, what are we to do if the blades of a wind turbine spontaneously convert into anti-matter? Until they can prove that it can never happen, those deadly wind turbines should be banned! We cannot permit such horrendous mechanisms until all possible quantum effects are nullified!

  2. Re:Before TSA on TSA Shuts Down Airport, Detains 11 After "Science Project" Found · · Score: 1

    not nearly as frequent as the TSA would have you believe though.

    Just look at the number of terrorists caught by the billions spent in equipment and manpower used by the TSA each year. I'll bet they have a fancy graph on their web site that displays the number of terrorists captured in each year of their existence. You know, with the year listed on the bottom of the graph, and the number of terrorists caught in the vertical axis starting at 0, and ending at ... well 0.

    Then they should also have another graph showing the costs per terrorist per year, to show how effectively our tax dollars have been spent.

    So, how many gropes does it take to capture a terrorist?

  3. Iron poor on 13-Billion-Year-Old Alien Worlds Discovered · · Score: 0

    These planets are iron poor, but when they invade us, it's always the water they come to steal.

  4. Re:Rupert Murdoch has no scruples. on Murdoch Faces Allegations of Sabotage · · Score: -1

    My only hope is that if he ever really goes down, he'll take a few politicians down with him.

    You're not supposed to badmouth the democrates here on slashdot. They'll wipe out all of your karma points.

  5. Re:Why did they do this on Red Wine and the Secret of Superconductivity · · Score: 0

    This falls under the "who would ever try that" umbrella.

    How many drinks did they try, and how did Coke fair?

    Toad licking also falls under this category. How many things did they lick before trying toads, and did they stop licking random things after that?

  6. Re:Questions on Congress Wants Your TSA Stories · · Score: 0

    But, GI Joe just might go berserk if you don't confiscate his 4" long plastic rifle! At 6" high, GI Joe is obviously a very threatening figure, well trained in all sorts of combat situations. If he were allowed on an airplane with all of his weaponry, he might hijack the aircraft and fly it into Hasbro in revenge for malformed privates.

  7. Cell phone on Record-Setting 100+ T Magnetic Field Achieved At Los Alamos · · Score: 1

    Since cell phones are said to cause cancer with the magnetic waves they create, how many people in LA will be suing Los Alamos in the near future?

  8. Re:SNOISSIWNOOW on Clever Clues Clobber Crossword Computer · · Score: 0

    Isn't having a gibberish answer in a crossword puzzle like making up your own words in Scrabble?

    All they need to do is claim it's Polish. Most puzzles in the major papers consist of 50% foreign words anyway. That allows them to make up very long words containing no vowels.

    ...film at 11. And extended debugging session afterwards.

    Is that 11 across, or down?

    Could also be quite the distraction when you are driving.

    Especially when you receive erotic messages from your girlfriend, or your wife, whichever calls first.

  14. Re:Ignorance of the Law is supposed to be no excus on Liberating the Laws You Must Pay To Read · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Don't forget about the judges who apply foreign law. You're not just responsible for US laws, but also those from other countries or religious groups, depending on which judge you get.

    And remember what Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare. "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." And very few of the congress critters bothered to read any of it before voting it in.

  15. Re:When I was in High School... on Teacher Suspended For Reading Ender's Game To Students · · Score: -1

    Between Santorum, Limbaugh and the rest of those jokers bible thumping their way into our bedrooms but refusing to even tax one cent of a rich person's income (because that's government intrusion), this country is really and truly fucked.

    We're going to be like Argentina, and the shooting in Florida is proving that there are now only gated communities and trailer parks -- and if you're the wrong color in a gated community, you are a target.

    Wow, you really drank the Cool-ade.Too bad you haven't bumbled upon any facts in your staggering crawl to suck on Obama's ass. The fact that the 1% that you are so upset about not paying their fair share of fed taxes are currently paying more than 1/3 of all taxes, while the lower 50% pay nothing. How is that not paying anything? It's just another Obama lie. You must be so proud of keeping his nether regions so sparkly clean.

    And why can't people protect themselves from intruders? I'll bet you haven't researched anything about the shooting beyond your hatred of "rich" people. If facts don't fit your hate filled template, you probably just ignore them. I guess you better loot and burn down all the stores in your area, like they did in the LA riots. That will prove that you can ... loot and burn down stores?

  16. Re:There's this little problem with Ender's Game on Teacher Suspended For Reading Ender's Game To Students · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I remember reading "Lord of the Flies" as a school assignment, as well as "The Jungle", and "Jude the Obscure".

    If those aren't banned yet, then I don't see why they would bother with such a tame offering as "Ender's Game".

  21. Crap on Ask Slashdot: Getting Feedback On Programming? · · Score: 1

    It's crap. If you continue on programming, come back in seceral years and you'll agree. Very few people write code in their first few years that they don't come back later with that opinion.

    Sorry, bet we have a consensus of the press who have reported that the neutrino travels faster than light. Since this is all that was necessary for Global Warming, it should be good enough for Faster Than Light speeds. Quit denying the facts, and start developing FTL vehicles.
