  1. In Other News on Researchers Show Parachutes Don't Work, But There's A Catch (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Condoms are no more effective than helmets at protecting from football injuries while eating ice cream on the sidelines.

  2. These loot boxes are getting ridiculous!

  3. Repairs on Pop-Up Cameras Could Soon Be a Mobile Trend (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    People couldn't handle a CD/DVD ROM tray without breaking it, so I for one welcome another thing to charge people to fix.

    OS2 Warp 4.

  5. Lost habitat on Ask Stewart Brand About Protecting Resources and Reviving Extinct Species · · Score: 1

    What can be done to reclaim lost habitat, as it is a large factor in loss of species?

  6. Porn habits, really? on NSA Planned To Discredit Radicals Based On Web-Browsing Habits · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ensuring that I'm not posting as AC to help drive this in...

    Just because sex and nudity is considered taboo and only for deviants by all of the repressed Mericans, doesn't mean that everyone will be embarrassed by making it visible. Some of the other stuff may help discredit, but not the porn.

    I thought it was bundled WITH Duke Nukem Forever for the Infinium Console.

  11. Re:Remove the obvious structural weaknesses on White House Must Answer Petition To 'Build Death Star' · · Score: 3, Funny

    You hurt small animals for fun as a kid? You must be some kind of psychopath.

    There's two suns and no women. What the hell else am I supposed to do?!

  12. Re:Nope, just following normal procedures. on Slashdot Asks: Are You Preparing For Hurricane Sandy? · · Score: 1

    My "garbage 1980's technology flashlight" is from the 80's, how old is your flashlight?

  13. Nope, just following normal procedures. on Slashdot Asks: Are You Preparing For Hurricane Sandy? · · Score: 1

    "Several people I know in the mid-Atlantic region have been ordering generators and stocking up on flashlight batteries and easy-to-prepare foods."
    Emergency supplies are always on site, including satellite phones (for some reason the idiots in charge think they'll work in a hurricane) and generators undergo monthly testing.

    "Are you in the projected path of the storm?"
    Yep!

    "If so, have you taken any steps to prepare for it? (Are you doing off-site backup? Taking yourself off-site?)"
    Automatic nightly incremental backups to a server that is automatically backed up to SAN, which has an off site mirror. Combine that with good vendor response times, and you're set.

    Why does anything having to do with Michael Jackson always involve unwanted penetration?

  18. And? on Airline Pilots Allowed To Dodge Security Screening · · Score: 1

    Who the hell cares? Getting your flight crew to the cockpit as easily as possible is the best idea that the damn TSA has had so far, and I'm all for not pissing off the people that can make my flight god awful.

  19. Yes, but... on Chrome Feature Helps Shield Websites From DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    This will only make it more difficult to get my Bandoleer of Carrots!

  20. What about belief through reason? on Is Science Just a Matter of Faith? · · Score: 1

    Lets see about this. I woke up on my memory foam mattress (result of science), and drank a cup of coffee that was brewed 45minutes before I woke up (a result of science). Got dressed in my clothes that were, most likely, made on a computerized sewing machine (result of science). Grabbed my laptop, smartphone, and tool bag (results of science), and hopped in my truck (result of science). No, I really don't think I'm relying on faith to make my determination on how I feel about this.

  21. Nail his ass to the wall (if he's actually guilty) on Bradley Manning Charged With Aiding the Enemy · · Score: 1

    onsidering the nature of what was allegedly done, and the position held by the defendant, I think it's perfectly reasonable to go for the maximum punishment. IMHO, It really doesn't matter what the documents were that were leaked. Hell, they could have been a top secret souffle recipe, and I would still want to see the offender properly prosecuted!

    P.S. Mmm, souffle. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/cheese-souffle-recipe/index.html [Food Network – Alton Brown]

    P.P.S. Maybe I shouldn't have skipped breakfast this morning...

  23. Re:Bluff City is south of Bristol Motor Speedway on Anti-Speed Camera Activist Buys Police Department's Web Domain · · Score: 1

    I don't understand people that think speed limits are moral imperatives that fall on the same line as murder or arson. You people act like I just raped somebody if I want to go 55 in a 50 mile an hour zone.

    I live in Houston on I-10, and due to a huge environmental/safety push they lowered the speed limit from 70 to 55. It was a joke, the highway is built for speed and it has excellent lines of visibility and

    • intelligently designed merging sections

    , and they make you crawl down it. Nobody did the speed limit so they upped it to 60, which didn't really help. As a result you get fast swerving traffic trying to move at the natural pace down the highway, moving through slow road bumps.

    If they would pick a reasonable speed limit based on the design of the road, and not the result of some safety pissing campaign then I bet you could get people to actually follow it.

    I'm betting that the Texas DOT had more to do with those merging sections than God... Crazy Texans, always trying to push intelligent design.

  24. Re:Democracy needs smart people on Too Many College Graduates? · · Score: 1

    This guy is forgetting that we live in a (sort of) democracy. How would a democracy where the people aren't educated work?

    Im fairly certain the result would be similar to this place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey
