  1. Re:Tolls? on Oregon Testing Pay-Per-Mile Driving Fee To Replace Gas Tax · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am all about a use based Tax rather than a lump fee with car purchase or registration. Those who consume more (drive more) should pay more.

  2. Reasonable Request on WHO Report Links Weed Killer Ingredient To Cancer Risk · · Score: 2

    "Unsurprisingly, Monsanto, Roundup's manufacturer disagrees saying there is no evidence to support the findings and calls on WHO to hold a meeting to explain their conclusions."

    Seems like a reasonable request to me. "Your data is different from ours, explain your results."

  3. The Best Camera on What Happened To the Photography Industry In 2014? · · Score: 2

    Is the one you have with you at the time you need to take a picture.

  4. Re:What's next? on Ted Cruz To Oversee NASA and US Science Programs · · Score: 1

    You wish. It will be Ken Ham.

  5. I'll call you a... on How Apple Watch Is Really a Regression In Watchmaking · · Score: 1

    Whhhaaaaaaaambulance!

    Seriously? We have to charge our phone nightly in most cases. Is it really a big deal charge your watch too? Put them both on the nightstand side by side.

  6. Re:Creationist / Evolutionists telling same story on Creationism Conference at Michigan State University Stirs Unease · · Score: 2

    OK. Except you left out a bunch and kinda reworded to fit your model.

    In the real story, God created light, then 4 days later created the stars and our sun. Oops.
    Plants were made on the third day, before there was sunlight to support them.
    And yep, animals were created before plants in the bible. Exactly the opposite of what happened. What did all those herbivores eat? Remember, according to creationists all life were herbivores till after the flood. Oops.

    The list of mistakes is a mile long.

  7. Some really dumb investors. on Ello Formally Promises To Remain Ad-Free, Raises $5.5M · · Score: 1

    Some really dumb investors. Ello looks like something I could write in PHP in about a day for $100 bucks.

  8. Opposite Experience on Ask Slashdot: Why Can't Google Block Spam In Gmail? · · Score: 2

    I've had the exact opposite experience. GMAIL's filters are so much better than any service out there. I get less than 1 SPAM email a month into my actual inbox.

  9. Of this: http://apple.slashdot.org/stor...

    Good ole' slashdot....

  10. Box of Rocks Smart on Match.com, Mensa Create Dating Site For Geniuses · · Score: 1

    I knew a guy who was mensa... and I can tell you for a fact he was dumb as a box of rocks. Either he cheated or they gave him a free one.

  11. Re:So basically this is the beginning of the end on Netflix Ditches Silverlight For HTML5 On Macs · · Score: 3, Informative

    Silverlight has been dead for a long time. Microsoft officially ended all future development of Silverlight in March of 2013. This is just the natural progression of its funeral.

  12. The problem is the asshole editors on Wikipedia Medical Articles Found To Have High Error Rate · · Score: 1

    I refuse to post on wikipedia. I have had almost every edit I have ever made reversed by an asshole editor. IN AREAS THAT I AM AN EXPERT IN, AND THE EDITOR IS NOT. It's like I am Galileo having my posts on Heliocentrism edited by the flat earth believing church. Unless we can out these arrogant editors and replace them with true experts, it will never be resolved.

  13. Re:A firearm that depends on a battery? on "Smart" Gun Seller Gets the Wrong Kind of Online Attention · · Score: 2

    I'd venture to say people are just as unlikely to clean and oil their gun and install fresh ammunition. Ammunition has a finite shelf life, and much shorter than you might think if left in humid locations.

    If you're using your gun regularly (as you should be) to stay well versed with it. You should have zero problem keeping an eye on the battery.

  14. Re:A firearm that depends on a battery? on "Smart" Gun Seller Gets the Wrong Kind of Online Attention · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A pacemaker that depends on a battery? No way I would rely on such a device!

  15. Free Market on If Ridesharing Is Banned, What About Ride-Trading? · · Score: 1

    How about we stop interfering with the free market and innovation???

  16. Re:Simple fix to their issues. on RadioShack To Close 1,100 Stores · · Score: 1

    "I told him that I would not try to sell someone something that they didn't need just because it made the store more money. I didn't get the job."

    Good. You shouldn't have. They were offering to pay you for a specific set of tasks. You said you didn't want to do those tasks. You therefore do not qualify for the job.

  17. Re:50 cent per bulb tax on incandescents on Incandescent Bulbs Get a Reprieve · · Score: 1

    More money in the government coffers, a cleaner earth does not make.

  18. Nothing to see here... on The Second Operating System Hiding In Every Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    There's a tiny OS running on your CDROM drive, your external USB hard drive, your BlueTooth Mouse, etc. This isn't just a cell phone issue.

  19. Re:what the flying fuck? on RIAA Targets 21 Sites For Shutdown · · Score: 2

    Here's a glimpse into that alternate future.

  20. I remember the days... on Apple Blocks Lawrence Lessig's Comment On iOS 7 Wi-Fi Glitch · · Score: 1, Insightful

    When every story on slashdot was "Microsoft sucks" and every comment was "If only Apple could get enough momentum to crush Microsoft."

    Oh how the times have changed... different companies, same bitches. You people are never happy. LOL.

    I, for one, welcome my new Apple Overlords.

  21. Re:Why I can't engage with Wikipedia on Wikipedia's Participation Problem · · Score: 1

    THIS.. Everything you just said.

  22. Reverts... on Wikipedia's Participation Problem · · Score: 2

    Every single time I make an update, it is reverted within minutes. There are blatant errors in many of the articles, but the ideolog editors prefer the error. Its as bad as news media bias.

  23. Or maybe, just maybe we quit taxing on Irish Government May Close Apple's Biggest Tax Loophole · · Score: 1

    Or maybe, just maybe, we quit taxing the hell out of everything and let everyone keep their money.

  24. I agree. Let's talk sensibly. You STOP doing it. on Hillary Clinton: "We Need To Talk Sensibly About Spying" · · Score: 2

    I mean seriously. Just stop. It's that simple. Free country? Life? Liberty? Constitution? Remember all that stuff?

  25. They made three of them. Ballmer bought one, Gates bought one. The last one is sitting in Best Buy waiting for someone to buy it.
