  1. Re:Poor dog. on Laika, the Pioneering Space Dog, Was Launched 60 Years Ago Today (space.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    The scientists involved have said they regretted sending her up, They should have sent up a less sympathetic creature. Maybe a lawyer, or something like that.

  2. Already been milked dry on CBS To Reboot 'The Twilight Zone' (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: -1

    The network revived the series in the 1980s that ran for three seasons and again in 2002 for a season on UPN with host Forest Whitaker.

    And with every iteration, it becomes more incoherent and pointless. I have no reason to be optimistic about the prospects of this one.

    As long as CBS is in the business of reanimating the dead, maybe they could convince Auto-Lite Spark Plugs to sponsor a reboot of Suspense. Although I'm guessing Rex Marshall is a bit moldy by now.

  3. Re:Yes, they do! on TechCrunch Argues Social Media News Feeds 'Need to Die' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    With luck, Social Media will die along with it.

  4. Re:Greeting from the Outer Space at Halloween! on First Extrasolar Object Observed Racing Through Our Solar System (space.com) · · Score: 0

    I don't think so. It seems to be in a big hurry to leave. Was it something we said?

  5. Re: "In the beginning..." on CERN Scientists Conclude that the Universe Should Not Exist (ign.com) · · Score: -1

    So is this where we find out God is actually a couple of grad students, who are now in the deanâ(TM)s office doing lots of explaining?

  6. Re:Awww hes so cute on Sony Reportedly Announcing New Robot Dog Next Month (wsj.com) · · Score: -1

    Does it chase self-driving cars too?

  7. Re:Heritability on Chinese Scientists Create Genetically Modified Low-Fat Pigs (npr.org) · · Score: -1

    The article states all of the modified pigs were males. So presumably the mother didn't have the modification. Which gene did the offspring get? Would it be a dominant or recessive trait? Lot's of potential dependancies, here.

  8. Heritability on Chinese Scientists Create Genetically Modified Low-Fat Pigs (npr.org) · · Score: 0

    At least one male even mated, producing healthy offspring, he says.

    I'd be interested to know if the modification turned out to be heritable. Otherwise that could be a really expensive pig to cultivate.

  9. Re:Self serving jerk on Bill Gates Tries A(nother) Billion-Dollar Plan To Reform Education (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: -1

    Instead of perpetually throwing his money at lost causes, Gates ought to take a tip from Musk, Bezos and Woz and invest in something that actually produces results.

  10. Re:why didnt any one ask hin why on Elon Musk Teases Reddit With Bad Answers About BFR Rocket (reddit.com) · · Score: -1

    Ok, I'll give you that Musk is a tax soak. Unlike most tax soaks, he actually produces cool and worthwhile things with the public's money, so I'm willing to look the other way.

  11. Re: All the above on What Will Replace Computer Keyboards? (xconomy.com) · · Score: -1

    Like the old joke goes, you'll see a paperless society about as soon as you'll see a paperless bathroom.

  12. When the New York Times is whining... on EPA Announces Repeal of Major Obama-Era Carbon Emissions Rule (nytimes.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...you can be sure good things are happening for the rest of the country!

  13. Of course it's perfectly acceptable. Clinton is a Democrat. What are ya, some kind of a Nazi or something?

  14. And who's freedom is that? on Steve Wozniak: Net Neutrality Rollback 'Will End the Internet As We Know It' (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    In the joint letter, Wozniak and Copps write that "We come from different walks of life, but each of us recognizes that the FCC is considering action that could end the internet as we know it -- a dynamic platform for entrepreneurship, jobs, education, and free expression."

    Who's freedom would that be? The freedom of companies like Google and Cloudfare to ban websites and confiscate domains they don't like? I sure hope it's the end of that internet! I liked the one we had before.

    What bias? That's a perfectly mainstream and obviously objective account! What are ya, some kind of a Nazi, or what?

  16. Re:You're one of the 6,000, right? on Department of Justice Demands Facebook Information From 'Anti-Administration Activists' (cnn.com) · · Score: -1

    Of course we should prevent the police form investigating anyone on the left! Those are the good guys! If they break a few laws beating down the Nazis, so what? Laws are for protecting leftists, not fascists! So what if they break a few laws! They're just angels with dirty faces! What are ya, some kind of a Nazi, or what?

  17. Damn right! What, you think fascists should have the right to free speech? What are ya, some kind of Nazi?

    As long as it doesn't sing too, I guess we can live with it.

  19. Re:Not smart, but it is right on Spain's Crackdown on Catalonia Includes Internet Censorship (internetsociety.org) · · Score: 0

    Of course! Spain doesn't want Catalonia to succeed because Catalonia has the highest GDP in Spain. Catalonia succeeding would be a violation of Spain's Universal Right of Parasitism. Don't you recognize the right of parasites to exist at the expense of a well-fed host? What are ya, some kind of Nazi?

  20. Re:So.... fix the laws, I guess? on Nestle Makes Billions Bottling Water It Pays Nearly Nothing For (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    What are ya, some kind of Nazi? Since when do companies have a right to provide goods and services at a price the market will bear? And they have the nerve to manufacture their products in locations that are advantageous economically! Even worse, they're earning a profit! Profit! I tell ya, that CEO is Literally Worse Than Hitler! Hitler!

  21. Re:This Is Going To Work on Pepe the Frog's Creator Is Sending Takedown Notices To Far-Right Sites (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Things were headed in that direction, already. I've sure seen a lot less Pepes recently then I used to. Now that the lawsuit is getting fired up, I bet I'll be seeing a lot more of them again. Maybe that was the point. There's no such thing as bad publicity.

  22. Re:You can't selectively apply the law on Pepe the Frog's Creator Is Sending Takedown Notices To Far-Right Sites (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Him and his lawyers basically shot themselves in the foot with that expression. You either enforce your copyright or you don't. Selecting a group of people regardless of definition, means you're not enforcing your copyright consistently and you are going to lose it.

    Good luck trying to sue thousands of random trolls on 4chan. Even if he wins this case (doubtful), there are too many people cranking out their own Pepe memes to shut down.

    So - if the left hates the Jews, and the right hates the Jews, why does everyone hate the Jews so much?

    Nazis, of course! I warned you about the Nazis, but would you listen? And now here they are - on Facebook, on Slashdot, on /pol/, under the bed - everywhere! I tell ya, they're taking over the world! It's anudda Shoah, I tells ya!
