  1. Re: The American thing to do on Russia Considers Sending Snowden Back To US As a 'Gift' To Trump (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 2

    I have found that the American thing to do is to pretend to care about your fellow man while possessing no such interest, which is why disabled people are treated so bad, and I am unAmerican for pointing it out.

  2. The "Japanese Miracle" on Excessive Radiation Inside Fukushima Fries Clean-Up Robot (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Too bad the fictional "Japanese Miracle" is just that, fiction. https://www.bing.com/search?q=...

  3. Re:It's not about forming conclusions on Scientists Successfully Decode the Genome of Quinoa (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's about someone making a statement that's inappropriate considering what proceeded it, and hinting as to why in a manner I find amusing.

  4. Re:Nothing against other people enjoying it. on Scientists Successfully Decode the Genome of Quinoa (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You can add people to your foe list for not liking the things you like, but I don't see the point.

  5. Re:Aware on Scientists Successfully Decode the Genome of Quinoa (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You are aware what "we" means, don't you? And I did say speak for yourself, not what is this beer thing you are talking about.

  6. And how about the apps in videos that should be returned by https://www.youtube.com/result... but for some reason, I am getting an error message. YouTube search is apparently broken for me. I used the YouTube feedback form. I also wrote a comment that their error message contains no real useful information. Why are big companies' error messages so useless?

  7. How can you have dessert if you don't eat your meat?

  8. Re:Driver release date vs file timestamp on Developer Explains Why All Windows Drivers Are Dated June 21, 2006 (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    The driver release date should be embedded in the files, but apparently that isn't what is happening and they go by file timestamp. I'm fairly certain that executables/dlls can contain a release date.

  9. That means fewer animals brought into existence in the first place. What is your basis for preferring animals not even existing as they won't be bred to be eaten, to having a life where they eventually get killed for food?

  10. Re:What's so absurd about it? on Scientists Successfully Decode the Genome of Quinoa (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I suppose if a summary just got done pointing out the unhealthy and less tasty aspects of any of those things and then someone uncategorically said they tasted good and were good for you, I might take exception at the statement then, too.

  11. Speak for yourself on Scientists Successfully Decode the Genome of Quinoa (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't drink alcohol.

  12. Re:Saponins - toxic on Scientists Successfully Decode the Genome of Quinoa (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Alright you have me on bitter. I just equate bitter with bad tasting, but toxic?

  13. That's all very nice and well... on Facebook Is Closing 200 of Its 500 VR Demo Stations At Best Buy Stores Across US (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    But what does Aleister Crowley's writings have to do with anything. Yes I recognized it from seeing it before, but I haven't gotten around to reading the entire thing. https://www.bing.com/search?q=...

  14. Re:Saponins - besides the point on Scientists Successfully Decode the Genome of Quinoa (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    This is about making the uncategorical claim that quinoa tastes good and is good for you after the summary just got done telling us that neither was the case. Now so far, you've made the case that quinoa after processing need not taste bad or be bad for you, but you've stopped before making the case that it tastes good and is good for you.

  15. The insight being... on Wikipedia Bans Daily Mail As 'Unreliable' Source (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    One of these things is not like the others.

  16. Re:Censorship. on Wikipedia Bans Daily Mail As 'Unreliable' Source (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    What does the concept of standards have to do with whether this is censorship?

  17. Re:dictionaries on Linux Kernel 3.18 Reaches End of Life (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I prefer my dictionaries to be descriptive not prescriptive.

    What's the process for determining what version of Linux Slashdot runs on?

  20. Re:Ramen and hot pockets on Scientists Successfully Decode the Genome of Quinoa (bbc.com) · · Score: 0

    I try to stay away from the ramen squares, but the cup of ramen are quite tasty and convenient. Hot pockets aren't too bad, but I generally don't care for the cost/quantity ratio (at least that's what I think my issue is) I eat what amounts to single serving soup in a can. Quinoa... can't say I've really tried that.
    Lately I've been fond of eating canned mini-raviolis. I eat chicken nuggets, usually Banquet, pizza rolls, not so much pizza itself lately, except for restaurant pizza. But my tastes change, and recently I've been avoiding spicier foods most of the time, though there were times where I've said lay on the spice. There's no accounting for taste or changes in tastes.

  21. Rules of nature - no, no you're not on Scientists Successfully Decode the Genome of Quinoa (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Human decisions being involved is the very definition of what is meant when people say you aren't abiding by the laws of nature or some variation. And no, we don't know what to expect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    And what gave the two of you the idea that eating glue was a good idea?

  23. Re:Saponins on Scientists Successfully Decode the Genome of Quinoa (bbc.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What part about it containing Saponins that are bitter and toxic didn't you understand?

  24. If only people had reasons beyond "it's not really stealing" to legitimize piracy... Oh, wait! They do.

  25. Along with satellite in general, DirectTV is known for going out in bad weather.
