  1. Re:Stimulate This on Help Liberate the Debian Administrator's Handbook · · Score: 1

    muco^Hus - geez, not the best way to start my editing career methinks.

  2. Stimulate This on Help Liberate the Debian Administrator's Handbook · · Score: 1

    Hey hey hey. I'm currently allowing three Indians to do my old job, and so I find myself open to new opportunities. I took French in high school, know a little bit of Debian and a whole lotta' administration, and will work for, say, 3750 euros.

    systematical, that was totally uncalled for. My display now drips Mt. Dew and mucous. I have no mod points to offer, so please accept my equally worthless kudos.

  3. Re:Chili Sans Beans?! on Why Chilies Are Hot and Yogurt Puts Out the Fire · · Score: 1

    That's very good. I usually just throw in used grounds rather than the coffee itself unless I'm adding mesa flour for thickness.

  4. Re:Chili Sans Beans?! on Why Chilies Are Hot and Yogurt Puts Out the Fire · · Score: 2

    Absolutely! Try some black beans too for a nice color contrast.

  5. Chili Sans Beans?! on Why Chilies Are Hot and Yogurt Puts Out the Fire · · Score: 3, Funny

    As a Texan native, let me point out that beans are only optional in the North.

  6. Re:What the hell is a "chocobos"? on Square Enix Admits Final Fantasy XIV Damaged Brand · · Score: 1

    Heh. I can't be the only one that leveled up long enough to beat the serpent monster before crossing the swamp. I think I finally hit it about L24 when Cloud learned his limit break Finishing Touch.

  7. Re:"Teach the controversy!" on Sesame Street Begins Teaching Math and Science · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's a shame you don't have a political party that represents you. *shrug*

    It's even more of a shame that he doesn't have a constituency.

  8. Re:Only one to protect yourself on AIDS Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    "When you got countries with 30% and higher HIV rates" Monogamy and selective partnering could make a crucial difference. Unfortunately, the 30% countries are also the ones without effective screening methods for the masses beyond the most basic. Incidentally, abstinence before marriage is a vital component of that basic screening methodology.

  9. Re:Only one to protect yourself on AIDS Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Natural selection will have a much greater impact once infection rate reaches a certain critical mass for each particular STD. Until that time, or until the feedback trims the population back below the threshold, I expect you are quite right.

  10. Re:Only one to protect yourself on AIDS Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Having children isn't the end-all. How many of them die from complications arising from the STDs? What are the socioeconomic ramifications of the disease and how do they reflect upon any surviving children? How will social stigmas affect copulation opportunities? These and other feedback mechanisms cannot be marginalized by hyperbole.

  11. Re:Only one to protect yourself on AIDS Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Abstinence is an excellent way to protect yourself from STDs. For the recalcitrants, there is a backup behavioral modification system known as natural selection.

  12. How about... on Smart Meters Reveal What You're Watching · · Score: 2

    simultaneously running an identical device with an inverted signal? Now may I please have my daily allotment of tinfoil? Yummy!

  13. Turnip Blood on Artificial Blood Vessels Created On a 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    Now the ink mongers can suck my blood more efficiently than ever before.

  14. Meh on Famous Wildlife Photographer Busted For Using Stock Images · · Score: 1

    Deep down where there should be outrage, there's just nothing.

  15. Re:that's not mutual destruction on Star Rips Exoplanet To Shreds With X-Rays · · Score: 1

    It's the destructive nature that's mutual. In CoRoT-2b's planet, the nature just happens to be self-destructive.

  16. Only Milliseconds You Say? on $300M To Save 6 Milliseconds · · Score: 2

    "Only" a few milliseconds? Do you realize that's trillions of femtoseconds? Twenty thousand femtoseconds for each otherwise worthless dollar. Get some perspective man!

  17. NRA Civilians on Why Aren't There More Civilians In Military Video Games? · · Score: 1

    And why are the civs always such wimps? I want a crowd that knows their 2nd amendment rights.

  18. Re:Expected responses... on Kevin Mitnick Answers · · Score: 1

    +1 Insightful Lumpy. The sterile answers are not so much a poor reflection on Kevin's character. No, they are an intelligent and calculated response to legal terrorism. We may delude ourselves and say that we are safer, but it is a poor trade indeed for the liberties that we've given up. It's all fun and games until the system turns on you. What follows is more animalistic than human.

  19. Re:what we need to ask on Has Cleverbot Passed the Turing Test? · · Score: 1

    I don't know about pupillary, but I would definitely have a salivary response.

  20. Re:No Public Expectation of Privacy on Global Mall Operator Starts Reading License Plates · · Score: 1

    I think patronizing a mall they own is sufficient recompense for the burden of my presence. If you see me at the mall, that's fine. Don't go telling perfect strangers that you saw me there at exactly x time.

  21. No Public Expectation of Privacy on Global Mall Operator Starts Reading License Plates · · Score: 1

    How about an expectation of Mind Your Own Business? Does that work for you?

  22. Pirated ru Video, say what? on Russia Wanted To Shut YouTube Down For Piracy · · Score: 1

    Does Russia even have any video that isn't pr0n or pirated from the US or pr0n?

  23. If you gotta' ask on Xbox 360 Reset Hack Yields Unsigned Code Execution · · Score: 1

    If you gotta' ask why we do it, you'll never get it. Even so, it's all I can do not to monologue here.

  24. Re:Evpxebyyrq. Shpx lbh NP. on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    Aha! I love cryptograms...and I'm afraid that I didn't.

  25. $1,000,000 Investment on Tesla CEO Wrong About Model S Timeline? $1,000,000 Says Yes · · Score: 1

    This could possibly be the best $1,000,000 investment I've seen this week. Just imagine (or view) all the publicity this will bring, and what better way to infuse shareholders with the verve to stick in this tumbledown economy? Maybe I'm old fashioned, but having a CEO get behind me as an engineer or other worker like this would definitely boost my morale. Sure, other CEO's are betting their stock options every day, but that's not very sexy is it? But 1,000 stacks says business in terms I grok.
