  1. Re:Maybe they've grown up a bit on GCC Moving To Use C++ Instead of C · · Score: 1

    But gcc has good algorithms and containers! There's a nice set for each front end, another set for the middle with some additional nice ones in the optimization code, and several more in each back end. Why would you want to lose any one of these for some STL code?

  2. Automatic on Gulf of Mexico Gets Wave-Powered Desalination Plant · · Score: 1

    At least they won't need to worry about greasing anything for several years, but who's going to buy black salt?

  3. No good on USAF Scramjet Hits Mach 6, Sets Record · · Score: 1

    This thing won't be very useful until it looks as evil as the SR-71.

  4. Re:Uh hu on USAF Scramjet Hits Mach 6, Sets Record · · Score: 1

    khaki pants, steel toed boots, marching bands, don't ask don't tell, jeeps and humvees, and those guys who forcibly sent that kid back to Cuba.

  5. Re:makes me sad.... on USAF Scramjet Hits Mach 6, Sets Record · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    There's your typical Democrat. Hates anything military, unless it can be used for abortions.

    Most of that "evil" cold war junk convinced many other nations that attacking us would be a very bad idea. Terrible that, seeing that we didn't get the chance to kill them all when they invaded. Awful thing, deterrence. Maybe we should invade Mexico and Canada, just so we can kill them all.

    We should just meekly follow your path, destroy our military, and wait for some tiny country like Panama to invade us, enslaving or killing us all. Only then will you be truely happy.

  6. Why not on Scientist Infects Self With Computer Virus · · Score: 1

    Instead of buying this expensive part, waste time getting it infected, implant it in yourself, get it to infect another computer.

    Why don't you just buy a Windows PC and staple it to your head. Everything accomplished in 1 step. All the extra steps will be handled automatically without the need of human intervention.

  7. picnic? on Happy Towel Day · · Score: 2, Funny

    want to have a picnic together in a park

    Shouldn't that be a panic in the park?

  8. Puns on Emergency Dispatcher Fired For Facebook Drug Joke · · Score: 1

    Is posting bad jokes on Facebook a justifiable reason to give someone the boot?

    If they are bad puns, then they should be hung. Nothing is worse than a bad pun.

  9. Re:New unit of size.... on Physicists Do What Einstein Thought Impossible · · Score: 1

    Since when is 'dust' a unit of size?

    How many Libraries of Congress would that be? Or would Volkswagons be a better measure?

  10. Re:Magic words... on Physicists Do What Einstein Thought Impossible · · Score: 1

    You had me at "laser chopsticks".

    It's that stupid shark that makes handling them harder than regular chopsticks.

  11. Lost on Mark Twain To Reveal All After 100 Year Wait · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is actually his "spoilers" on the "Lost" show. He was the original author of that too, but didn't want it to be shown on TV until now. He was too ashamed to admit that he wrote something that bad while he was alive.

  12. Copyrights on Mark Twain To Reveal All After 100 Year Wait · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ok, he wrote this thing over 100 years ago. So, who owns the copyrights to it?

  13. so on IBM Distributes USB Malware At Security Conference · · Score: 1

    So, is there a better place to distribute malware than a security confrence?

  14. Re:Linux on Synthetic Genome Drives Bacterial Cell · · Score: 1

    Sorry, it's Windows only. They were required to place a limiter on it, so it wouldn't stay alive forever, and Windows just seemed a natural fit.

  15. Re:The Matrix on Scientists Implant Biofuel Cells Into Rats · · Score: 1

    But, my hovercraft is full of eels!

  16. Doesn't sound efficient on 10,000 Cows Can Power 1,000 Servers · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be easier to just burn grain instead? You can use a shovel to toss grain into a boiler. A pitchfork isn't sturdy enough to toss cows in, unless you chop them into smaller bits first. And with the burnt offerings, you could end up accidently summoning assorted Gods by accident, especially when someone says "god damn it" at just the wrong time. Something like this is probably what gave Lovecraft the ideas for his books. Cows should be left where they belong, between two slices of bread with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, pickles, and assorted sauces.

  17. Re:Animal Power is not reliable on 10,000 Cows Can Power 1,000 Servers · · Score: 1

    There's another problem noone has mentioned. In a typical data cebter, the operators frequently leave piles of candy bar wrappers and empty soda cans laying around. What happens if the cows get loose and wander around the data center? First you'll have to card everybody, and someone is going to forget his card that day. Then convincing the cows to leave, before their programs have finished running, will be a challenge. If you have those electric prods, you need to make sure the senior VP doesn't get one, because he'll probably lose it to the first cow he meets, and the fun will really begin.

  18. Slashdot posters wouldnt do that on Taylor Momsen Did Not Write This Slashdot Headline · · Score: 1

    Ass slash pot poster, wee wood nut dew anything two increase our size or girth in any google search. We wouldnt load our postings with terms to entice sexual addicts like "hot gay porn sex explicit nudity", or grabbing words out of current headlines like "tiger woods oily democrat sex video", or words from past headlines like "tiger woods is sexy michael jacksons intern".

    They are pro choice. As long as they are the ones doing the choosing.

  21. Re:I see. on Russian Anti-Spam Advisor Accused of Spamming · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    At least we know a Democrat wouldn't do something like that.

    Well, except for Kennedy (pick any one), Bill "I didn't have sex with that woman" Clinton, ..., ..., ...; however for a Democrat it's considered a positive trait to have numerous affairs, and to commit purgery.

    Then there's the Barney Frank "I didn't know my gay sex partner was running a brothel out of my house", "Let me fix those traffic tickets for you", ... assortment that has the glowing approval of the Democrat party.

  22. Who picked him on Russian Anti-Spam Advisor Accused of Spamming · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is this a sign that Obama got to pick the Russian cabinet posts?

  23. What is needed on Court Orders Man's Body Exhumed To Cut Off His Head · · Score: 1

  24. First anonomous cross city drive on Stanford Robot Car Capable of Slide Parking · · Score: 1

    Were waiting to interview George, the passenger for the first cross-city autonomous test drive. The trip itself took thirty minutes, however it has taken an hour and a half, so far, to unlock George's knuckles from the dashboard.
