  1. Re:Printing out the e-mails on Clinton Regrets, But Defends, Use of Family Email Server · · Score: 1

    Can't a paper printout be carefully manually modified? Photocopy it, then destroy the original digital file and original printout.

  2. Re:Clear to me on Clinton Regrets, But Defends, Use of Family Email Server · · Score: 1

    Can't email devices be configured to ONLY receive email from/send to other .GOV domains?

  3. Re:No it doesn't. on Clinton Regrets, But Defends, Use of Family Email Server · · Score: 1

    The good part of sending a legally blind auditor to find the files was that he couldn't read the sign on the storage room door that said, "Beware of Leopard".

  4. Re:Maybe in a different country on Mental Health Experts Seek To Block the Paths To Suicide · · Score: 2

    "...regular, mandatory police inspections of gun owners' homes..."

    Why stop at just "gun owners'" homes? Mandatory police inspections would have to be performed at all homes, since people not on the list of gun owners could have undeclared firearms as well. I think you can see where this is going...

  5. Re:Watch your wording in the summary!!! on California's Hot, Dry Winters Tied To Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Apparently the IPCC's literature content differs from the summary for policymakers. Anything to sell the hype and keep the gravy train of sweet, sweet government money going. Let the personal insults from the easily-duped, emotionally-invested and paid shills begin!

  6. Re:Baking political correctness in society on Yik Yak Raises Controversy On College Campuses · · Score: 1

    I want to force government to force people to listen to my insane ranting about the fact that nobody listens to me.

  7. Re:Baking political correctness in society on Yik Yak Raises Controversy On College Campuses · · Score: 1

    Haha - Republicans are evil.

  8. Re:They are paid to do this. on State Employees Say Rules Prevent Open "Climate Change" Discussion In Florida · · Score: 1

    Yup, time to leave Slashdot.

  9. Re:this is just dumb on State Employees Say Rules Prevent Open "Climate Change" Discussion In Florida · · Score: 1

    There never was a debate and never will be, simply because the doomers would lose (and we can't have that, there's too much money involved). The shit's REALLY going to hit the fan when all that sweet government money runs out.

  10. Re:Someone explain the problem with these bills? on White House Threatens Veto Over EPA "Secret Science" Bills · · Score: 1

    "But if the science and data is straight up not disclosed then I'm not approving legislation based on it because I can't get it verified."

    This should be obvious to anyone paying attention but has turned into "Hey look at how stupid and evil those stupid and evil republicans are."

  11. Re:The Republicans are right on White House Threatens Veto Over EPA "Secret Science" Bills · · Score: 1

    Is CO2 a pollutant?

  12. Re:bad headline (shock!) on The US's First Offshore Wind Farm Will Cut Local Power Prices By 40% · · Score: 1

    I think you'll find that most "eco-friendly" headlines can't withstand a couple of difficult questions from people other than enviro-journalists (who are invariably activists posing as reporters).

  13. Re:Follow the herd or vanish on Google Wants To Rank Websites Based On Facts Not Links · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I knew about keyword removal but not entire domains (makes sense though).

  14. Re:Follow the herd or vanish on Google Wants To Rank Websites Based On Facts Not Links · · Score: 1

    Is there a way to remove a domain from a search? I.e., I don't want the first 50 results from a search for Apple to be from apple.com.

  15. Re:Well, I guess now we know... on 20-Year-Old Military Weather Satellite Explodes In Orbit · · Score: 1

    Space Cowboys reference?

  16. Re:Who did the study? on We Stopped At Two Nuclear Bombs; We Can Stop At Two Degrees. · · Score: 1

    Great post.

  17. Re:Futurama? on Hyperloop Testing Starts Next Year · · Score: 1

    Hey, Spock was in that episode!

  18. Re:Likely 4 inch "Trade Size", actually... on Vandalism In Arizona Shuts Down Internet and Phone Service · · Score: 1

    It's called nominal pipe size and you can see wall thicknesses here: http://www.engineersedge.com/p...

    The outside diameter remains the same to simplify joining.

    Of course it could just have been thin wall tubing or conduit also, but it definitely wasn't "four inch thick" pipe...

  19. Not Length, Not Girth on Vandalism In Arizona Shuts Down Internet and Phone Service · · Score: 3, Funny

    Four inch DIAMETER pipe. With piping, the hole goes on the inside.

  20. Sorry, that was me. I modified the minimum text size in Chrome and I think I broke the CSS. I'll change it back, just let me know when things look better, K?

  21. Government-Funded AGW on Lawmakers Seek Information On Funding For Climate Change Critics · · Score: 0

    We already know where the dozens of billions of dollars to "support" AGW is coming from, don't we.

  22. Real Engineering on H-1B Visas Proving Lucrative For Engineers, Dev Leads · · Score: 1

    In some places it is illegal to call yourself an engineer if you isn't really one (unlike software "engineers").

  23. Re:The ocean is not acidifying on What If We Lost the Sky? · · Score: 1

    "I despair that alarmists can't understand even the most basic aspects of material science."

    They sure are loud, certain of themselves and offensive though, aren't they. It's amazing, really.

  24. Re:Horribly misleading summary on Bill Nye Disses "Regular" Software Writers' Science Knowledge · · Score: 1

    Someone mod parent up.

  25. Re:Horribly misleading summary on Bill Nye Disses "Regular" Software Writers' Science Knowledge · · Score: 1

    What percentage of people who get paid to study/model the climate are paid by government in some way? 97, perhaps?
