  1. Re:Why not popular? on Wirelessly Charged Buses Being Tested Next Year · · Score: 1

    For me... its the smell of urin and human misery. But perhaps that's just a SF MUNI thing.

  2. Re:Easy Solution - make the bags out of brass on Are Plastic Bag Bans Making People Sick? · · Score: 1

    Make it out of recycled Heineken cans and sell it to hipsters.

  3. Re:Buy local honey on Laser Intended For Mars Used To Detect "Honey Laundering" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can't believe that all the honey in the grocery store is fake.

    If it costs half as much, odds are its got filler in it.

  4. Re:A real-name policy is GOOD for privacy on Facebook Can Keep Real Name Policy, German Court Rules · · Score: 1

    And yet I'm going to assume that CajunArson is not your real name. You frankly dont seem to understand what the word "privacy" means since none of the items you list equate to being "good for privacy".

  5. Unable to control your company, or complicit. on Tim Cook Never Wanted To Sue Samsung · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sorry, this excuse just doesn't fly with me. If the company he's supposed to be in charge of is doing things like suing competitors without his permission or knowledge, then he's a failure as a CEO.

  6. Why is it that iOS users would buy Office? on Microsoft Could Earn Billions From Office For iOS · · Score: 2

    There are already office suites for iOS that can read Microsoft files, including one from Apple with cloud syncing and other "stuff". So what is it about Office that would attract iOS users? It cant be the Microsoft brand, its not going to be file compatibility, so what is it?

  7. Re:What happens when the machine dies? on Retail Copies of Office 2013 Are Tied To a Single Computer Forever · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What happens is you download the crack for the software you legally purchased.

  8. Re:dishonest twat on Lew Rockwell: Ron Paul Not Using the State or UN to Control RonPaul.Com · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And lets not forget the whole "rich and famous" part. If it were my name, I would not be able to have done what he did since I am neither rich nor famous. So much for equal protection under the law.

  9. Re:Primary Problem? on Xbox Originator: "Stupid, Stupid Xbox!!" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Bull-hockey. If that was the case, then nobody ever play games on mobile devices, which are arguably the most popular 'platforms' at the moment.

    Are you claiming that a majority of your cellphone screen is advertising space like with the XBOX? If so, you may have malware. What's more, I seem able to run games etc on my tablet without a monthly subscription to "Android Gold".

  10. Re:Sir Isaac Newton Was a True Blue Christian on Missouri Legislation Redefines Science, Pushes Intelligent Design · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And yet, he was able to realize that observable evidence was more important then simply chanting "God did it" over and over again.

  11. Re:what do you teach? on Missouri Legislation Redefines Science, Pushes Intelligent Design · · Score: 0

    I mean not that I any way believe in any of the ID stuff (flying spaghetti monsters is my bumper sticker), but, even if you do, what do you teach?

    You teach hate and intolerance of the nonbelievers, same as the taliban etc.

  12. Re:He forgot to charge the car....... on Tesla Motors Battles the New York Times · · Score: 4, Informative

    From what I read, he did not "forget" to charge the car, he just used the fast-charging option until the car computer told him "you've got enough juice to cover your planned journey".

    The claim by Tesla is that after doing so, he did not stick to his planned journey. Taking alternate routes, going above the speed limit, etc.

  13. Salesforce? on Ask Slashdot: Making Side-Money As a Programmer? · · Score: 1

    There seems to be a fair amount of demand for small projects on the Salesforce platform. I think there's a web site or two out there for bidding on such jobs, but the URLs escape me.

  14. Re:This problem is easily solved on Is It Possible To Erase Yourself From the Internet? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And never buy a house or sign up for anything offline or do anything that ever goes into any form of public record. Basically, you need to go live in a cabin in the woods.

  15. Re:Are they really moons? on Vote To Name Two Newly Discovered Moons of Pluto · · Score: 2

    Proximity related to mass.

  16. Re:Are they really moons? on Vote To Name Two Newly Discovered Moons of Pluto · · Score: 2

    Was going to post much the same question. However, anything in space can have a moon since all that means is an object trapped in the parents gravity field. So yes, even planetoids can have moons. In fact, even a moon can have moons. But that would be very uncommon as a moons moon would most likely get pulled out of orbit by what the moon is orbiting.

  17. Re:But WHY? on CES: Jono Bacon Talks Up Ubuntu for Phones (Video) · · Score: 1

    Licensing? Lots of phone makers for the India and China markets dont seem to like the Android license. Of course the only thing they lose from not agreeing to the license seems to be access to the Google Marketplace.

    First of all, that is the stupidest fucking idea I have ever heard, even by dumbass Hollywood standards.

  19. But how much money will they lose to FedEX? on US Postal Service Discontinuing Saturday Mail Delivery · · Score: 0

    All political BS aside, without saturday delivery wont a lot of people just go over to FedEX or UPS? Couldn't they charge extra for weekend delivery to make it economical?

  20. Re: Science is the antithesis of religion... on Ask Dr. Robert Bakker About Dinosaurs and Merging Science and Religion · · Score: 1

    Nah, I think he meant Tennant.

    Strangely enough, I meant Hartnell.

  21. Re:Science is the antithesis of religion... on Ask Dr. Robert Bakker About Dinosaurs and Merging Science and Religion · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't think so.

    And that's fine, I could be wrong.

  22. Science is the antithesis of religion... on Ask Dr. Robert Bakker About Dinosaurs and Merging Science and Religion · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A central tenant of science is that you could be wrong, that seems to conflict with religion. Which is not to say you can't have faith and be a scientist. Just that you would have to keep a fair amount of mental separation between the two. I would even go so far as to say that to be a good scientist you would have to question your faith.

  23. Re:Planned obselecence on The Only, Lonely Protester at CES (Video) · · Score: 1

    This is almost the polar opposite of planned obsolescence. This is the camera companies recognizing that people will fix rather then replace their cameras and so they want to control that after market business.

  24. Re:Little light on specifics.... on Typing These 8 Characters Will Crash Almost Any App On Your Mountain Lion Mac · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Ah, did manage to replicate it. Despite what the long article says, it does seem to be case sensitive. Very odd bug. The truly worrisome thing is that this would seem to indicate that even the most basic of text editors is capable of running scripts from plain text (as opposed to apple script). Not sure what the ramifications of that are, but it seems like a potential vector for malware.

  25. Little light on specifics.... on Typing These 8 Characters Will Crash Almost Any App On Your Mountain Lion Mac · · Score: 1

    Tried this in every app I could think of and have had no issues (TextEdit, Komodo, iCal, Eclipse, Libra Office, Chrome, FireFox). Not calling shenanigans, but a specific example would be nice.
