  1. Re:Evolution in Action? on Lack of Vaccination Sends Babies In Oregon To the Hospital · · Score: 1

    This is the part I never understand. If Jenny McBigtits claims are to be believed, then not only do vacines cause autism, but vitamin C cures it. So what's the big deal? Just give your kids extra O.J. with their shots.

  2. Re:Methinks a law of unintended consequences on Tennessee "Teaching the Controversy" Bill Becomes Law · · Score: 1

    As opposed to teaching science in science class.

  3. Fun prank of the week! on US Carriers Finally Doing Something About Cellphone Theft · · Score: 5, Funny

    Report your friends phone as stolen! Hilarity ensues.

  4. Re:Open Tax Solver on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Tax Software? · · Score: 2

    More then that, in most cases if you get audited H&R Block etc will represent you and try to get it cleared up.

  5. Damn you Gore! on Iran Plans To Unplug the Internet, Launch Its Own 'Clean' Alternative · · Score: 4, Funny

    You never should have built this thing with a single power plug! Redundant power sources I told you!

  6. Re:So... on Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn Resigns After $1.7 Billion Loss · · Score: 1

    He gets free warranties. So, nothing.

  7. Re:Because Hybrids Don't Pay For Themselves on Hybrid Car Owners Not Likely To Buy Another Hybrid · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No new car, of any sort, is "green".

  8. They have phones in booths now? on Giant Touchscreens Coming To NYC Phone Booths · · Score: 5, Funny

    Finally I can get rid of this annoying cell-phone.

  9. Re:If that language doesn't on MPAA Chief Dodd Hints At Talks To Revive SOPA · · Score: 1

    Money is now speech, so bribes are just a way to tell someone what you think. Why are you against the 1st amendment?

  10. Re:Anti-Gay? on EA Defends Itself Against Thousands of Anti-Gay Letters · · Score: 2

    Why should people get tax breaks for signing a paper?

    Ask the corporations. Actually, there's your answer. If couples want extended rights, they should incorporate.

  11. Re:Anti-Gay? on EA Defends Itself Against Thousands of Anti-Gay Letters · · Score: 5, Informative

    Your bible does not say homosexuality is a sin. It just says "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." I interpret that to be an endorsement of anal sex or cunnilingus. You cant lie with a man as you would with a woman, the holes dont line up. And of course that same section of the book says you are going to hell for eating shell fish, for wearing linen and cotton at the same time and for not stoning to death a disobedient daughter.

  12. Re:Anti-Gay? on EA Defends Itself Against Thousands of Anti-Gay Letters · · Score: 4, Insightful

    they have the right to marry what ever woman they want

    So you're pro lesbian but anti male/male union? Odd, but not unprecedented.

  13. Next he should run for cow boy. on Spaceman-Turned-Politician Can Call Himself 'Astronaut' On Ballot · · Score: 1

    And then fire man.

  14. So what? on Toronto Police Use Facebook Picture in Online Lineup · · Score: 1, Interesting

    You make information public, it will be used publicly. Why shouldn't they have used a profile picture?

  15. Re:Hope MS does well with this phone on Nokia Lumia 900 Reviews · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The problem is that Microsoft seems to have no idea why people should use their phones. Apple claims better screen, face time, etc. Google claims open system, low cost app development and a wide range of hardware options. Microsoft claims you can get to the camera app real fast. Its just not a convincing argument.

  17. Basic Stamp with GPS. on Ask Slashdot: Is a Home Drone Feasible? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Dont see why it wouldn't be possible using Parallax Basic Stamp or another embedded controller that supports a serial GPS receiver. The platform itself may take a little fiddling as you would want something more stable then your standard RC helicopter. Something with coaxial counter rotating blade system or multiple sets of blades.

  18. About time! on Flying Car Makes Successful Maiden Flight · · Score: 1

    I was running out of reasons to not go outside.

  19. New stores will be called "Just warranties". on Best Buy Closing 50 Stores · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Since that seems to be the thing Best Buy makes money off of, why not sell only the warranties that they try to weasel out of?

  20. Re:I'm I in the wrong Blog? on Army Reviews Controversial Drug After Afghan Massacre · · Score: 4, Funny

    What's that? Drugged out solders killing civilians? Yawn. Wake me when there's news about how Apple or Microsoft is bad and Linux is good.

  21. Re:Is this actually due to more indecents of autis on CDC Reports 1 In 88 Children Now Affected With Autism In the US · · Score: 1

    Nope. Its due to more previously undiagnosed conditions being categorized as autism.

  22. Re:Evil is as evil does... on Independent Audit Finds Foxconn Violates Chinese Work Rules · · Score: 1

    There is also the issue of trade tarifs. China has them, we dont. So if a company (say Apple) wants to see in China, it is very expensive to do so if their goods are not made there. On the flip side, it is far cheaper to sell goods in the US that are made in China.

  23. Returned two so far (new ones). on Amazon Selling Kindle Fire Refurbs For $139 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Took three tries before they got me a new Fire that worked correctly, so I'm surprised there is not a higher volume of refurbished units for sale. For the price I cant complain as they shipped me replacement units for free with little or no questions asked.

  24. Re:Any site doing this needs their head examined.. on Gawker Media To Require Commenters' Facebook, Twitter, Or Google Logins · · Score: 1

    They likies the monies.

  25. When it comes down to it people want $ not justice on Boston Pays Out $170,000 To Man Arrested For Recording Police · · Score: 1

    Not that I wouldn't do the same thing in his shoes, but I would still have liked to see this go the distance rather then it just being a payout of tax payers money.
