I have to agree with AK Marc on this one. I don't know which utopian paradise you live in Martin but in the town I live in with a 4 lane highway as the main street I can count on one hand the number of polite HDs that come through town in any one month and we get quite a few. I suppose you are right if enjoying the scenery means blasting the ear drums out of any member of the animal kingdom within a half mile. If these riders wonder why people are rude on the road to them then maybe they need to start by being polite in the first place and fix their damn bikes to be something socially considerate. I for one won't give them the time of day or any courtesy beyond basic safety.
Now the Goldwing riders I usually see drifting so pleasantly through town, they get a smile.
Agreed, there definitely is some confusion regarding humor.
Only a complete nitwit would think a comment using "a baker's dozen" as a valid comparison to sending a few extra people in case some were "damaged in transit" or were otherwise "improperly cooked" (by a gammawave oven no less) was meant as anything other than humor. Sorry I didn't spell it out in detail for you the first time, but that usually kills subtle humor. Admittedly not very good humor, but humor none the less.
Of course the parent post was humor.
Besides, based on current observations, killing off 10% of Slashdot citizens, and assuming you got only infesting dumbasses, would hardly put a dent in the population of infesting dumbasses.
Obviously you are confused about the actual problem. If the mission needs 100 people to meet all its objectives then we have to send 111 so there will be 100 alive by the time they arrive. Let's not get into the details of the person with.1 cancer.
It's a baker's dozen kind of thing.
First toilet seats and now tuna

Great, at the cost of millions the government has come up with a tuna can opener. I can buy a cheapo for under a buck and get an electric with all the frills for under 50. Of course mine are a tad slower and don't puree the tuna at the atomic level in that same instant, but come on! What about ROI!
Of course, someone shows me a recipe for "atoms of tuna" and I'm there!
I imagine you'll be doing your taxes by hand then. I suppose you beat your clothing against rocks in the river and hand knit your clothing using wool sheared from sheep you raise in your backyard.
Damn, damn, damn, why do I have to be the last one to find out Martha Stewart is on/.!
Debate all you want about whether asteroids have caused good in the past... when one comes towards Earth there won't be much good about to say about the impact.
At least there will be a lot fewer lawyers collecting fees from the resulting class action suit about the lack of celestial disclosure of the full risks of living in our universe.
at least all the worries of today would seem meaningless...
Um, I worry about asteroids today, or more to the point I worry about our overall lack of action in detection of asteroids and creating effective means of stopping asteriod earth matings.
I attended several Mac World Expos in San Francisco a few years back and Muhammad Ali was a VIP at each. So I think it is great they used him as an example since their example believes one of their competitors is better.
Once again the clueless beast rears its true head.
Nope, no crack smoking, just the genetically determined ass crack that most of us have. But unlike some, my brain is not located just behind the ass crack.
I saw a Knight's Tale last night. I thought it was pretty funny and I'm not a teen; I'm in those 30 something years. The music was well matched to the theme, and the acting was well done for the movie's ambiance. Accuracy, I have no idea, but what they portrayed in the movie was just right.
I didn't find myself once distracted by the tempting glow of the neon exit sign.
I just wished William had fallen for the right girl, the blacksmith, ferrier, armoursmith or what ever they called her. She was far more interesting than the royal twit.
If you haven't seen it yet, stick around to the very end of the credits for a taste of really immature humor that will leave you with a chuckle.
P.S. I find the Katz bashing on this review as bad as the bashers claim Katz to be. Other than the teen comments, Katz got this one pretty close to the mark.
