  1. How do Yo Sink The Spanish Navy? on Spain's New S-80 Class Submarines Sink, But Won't Float · · Score: 2

    How do you sink the Spanish Navy?
    Put it in water!
    hahahah
    sorry.

  2. Not only that on Stephen Hawking Warns Against Confining Ourselves To Earth · · Score: 2

    We need to bring all the diversity of animals and plants we rely upon for food and resources.
    Good luck with that.
    If we cannot survive on the planet that nurtured us for millions of years, we might be doomed to destroy the habitability of every planet we touch, assuming we find a habitable planet, and export enough genetic diversity, and plants and animals to survive as a species.

  3. What are you talking about? on Cablevision Suing Viacom Over Cable Bundling · · Score: 1

    I've had cable internet only for years. With Cablevision in NYC. The didn't seem reluctant to me.

  4. Richest Nation in the History of the World on Congressman Introduces Bill To Ban Minting of Trillion-Dollar Coin · · Score: 1

    Kind of sad we have to also borrow a trillion a year to get by.

  5. I voted for Obama and on Congressman Introduces Bill To Ban Minting of Trillion-Dollar Coin · · Score: 1

    I often hate the Republicans, but it's time to get fiscally responsible. Or we could all be joining the Boehner Waterworks.

  6. Re:"Stifle descent?" on New Documents Detail FBI, Bank Crack Down On Occupy Wall Street · · Score: 0

    Slashdot is dissenting into illiteracy.

  7. Here's a clever tip; on Pakistan Lifts YouTube Ban For 3 Minutes, Finds More Blasphemy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't like blasphemy? Don't search for it.

    You're welcome!

  8. Re:Arsehole on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    Don't enrage your boss, by making excuses, by essentially lying to his face and assuming he is stupid enough to believe your drivel.
    Should he accept your drivel, and the role of sucker for accepting your incompetence, and lying on top of it, or should he call you out on your bullshit lame excuse?
    I'll bet Linus was more pissed off at having his intelligence insulted with this lame excuse, than he was about the incompetent work.
    But given this combination, I don't blame him a bit. If he humbled himself to every fool, and every fool's excuses Linux code would be crap.

  9. You Sure? on Four Cups of Coffee A Day Cuts Risk of Oral Cancer · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You sure it doesn't mean that those with the physical constitution to withstand 4 cups of coffee are resistant to oral cancers?
    These studies are meaningless.

  10. The find doesn't increase chances.... on Sub-Ice Antarctic Lake Vida Abounds With Life · · Score: 1

    "The find increases the chances that life may exist"...
    I don't think any find here on Earth can increase chances anywhere else.
    The chances of life existing elsewhere is unchanging. Regardless of what humans discover.
    I think it just increases the hope of those wishing for the discovery life on other planets.
    I personally think it's a false hope, although I'd be excited to be proven wrong.
    I also think it's dangerous to rely on a belief in life on other planets, as far as we know life here is rare and unique, and the idea that we can trash this planet, and escape to other worlds as a plausible scenario, or that we can erase all or some life here, and believe that life still exists elsewhere, stands a chance of being tragically incorrect.

  11. Manifest Destiny on Why Iron Dome Might Only Work For Israel · · Score: 1

    If the Israelis are emulating the American Manifest Destiny, they may be doing it the hard way.
    Wiping out the Muslim population from Turkey to Pakistan would more closely resemble the way it was done in the US.
    The question is raised, "can a military occupation defending itself, be defined as self defense?"

  12. Get a Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker on Ask Slashdot: Geekiest Way To Cook a Turkey? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Get a Weber Smokey Mountain BBQ Smoker or equivalent to smoke the turkey. That's not the geeky part.
    Add an ATC (automatic temperature control). This will allow you to set it for precise, unattended low and slow cooking.
    Better still, get one with wifi and an internet server like the Stoker Power Draft from rocksbarbque.com. (no affiliation, but I do own one).
    You can check and adjust your meat and fire temperatures from inside your home on wifi or remotely via the internet on your smartphone or computer.
    It can even email you, or serve twitter updates. Run it with dyndns.org, and give your buddies a simple URL to monitor your cook as well.
    Then install Stokerlog to your system, so that you can graph meat and fire temperatures and share temperature graphs with your geeky buddies on the bbq forums.
    Use a digital camera and take pictures of the smoke ring (smoke penetration) on a slice of meat. Share it on your favorite photo sharing site.
    Lastly, get farkles like an instant read thermometer, (I like the Thermapen), and measure the precise temperature of the meat everywhere on the bird.
    The satisfaction, apart from the eating, is taking a stone age process; barbeque; and bringing it into the internet age.
    I don't know if you could get geekier than that...

  13. Slashcode? on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Add Forums To a Website? · · Score: 2

    How hard is it to implement Slashcode?

  14. Re:Not the Bible. on Ask Slashdot: What Books Have Had a Significant Impact On Your Life? · · Score: 1

    Leviticus.
    It reinforced my atheism, and affirmed my belief that the Bible is essentially to be discarded as a source of truth, facts, justice, morality, word of God etc, with it's extensive detailing of proper animal sacrifice methods, and recommendations of stoning individuals to death.

  15. Re:This is the best argument for Windows 8? on Windows 8: Do I Really Need a Single OS? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The worst thing about Patch Tuesday is when Windows decides to reboot your system when you're not there, without your knowledge, and closes all your data logging programs, or unsaved files, etc.
    They don't know how to make software that doesn't assume that the user is some type of inept, mindless, or unimportant jackass.

  16. Cheapest solution on Ask Slashdot: Hacking Urban Noise? · · Score: 1

    Get some earplugs.

  17. Re:Copycat suicides on A Suicide Goes Viral On the Internet · · Score: 2

    What the Darwin Awards are missing is that the person may have already procreated prior to dying in a spectacular way.

  18. You're all missing something.... on Neil Young Pushes Pono, Says Piracy Is the New Radio · · Score: 1

    It's the content of the music, that relays the emotion. Would Robert Johnson, or Django Reinhardt, convey any more or less emotion in vinyl, or 192khz sample rate? You won't extract more emotion from music with more clarity. Less clarity could actually enhance the emotion delivered, for example a distorted guitar amplifier sound. It's too easy to get caught up in the properties of the playback machines, rather than the message of the music, the emotional payload that can be carried just as well through various different quality media. Rhythm, harmony, pitch, tone, timbre all combine to deliver the message, the quality of the reproduction is less important.
    If you're old enough, remember enjoying a song on AM radio? Was the sound quality better than CD? Did the content of the song make you feel something in your heart and soul? That is what music is, and good music won't be hindered very much by the media of delivery. Of course we all want to hear music in the cleanest, clearest, and truest way, but don't overvalue it.

  19. Re:What happened to freedom of speech on Google Blocks 'Innocence of Muslim' Video In Indonesia and India · · Score: 1

    They don't have to suck it up, if they don't like it, then why watch it? Turn it off Muslims! There are plenty of jackasses spouting jackassery, you are not required to view it all.

  20. If God wasn't dead on EVE Online CSM and Diplomat Killed in Libyan Consulate Attacks · · Score: 1

    He would smite all religionists, leaving only atheists who live by the golden rule.

  21. Why People Choose Organic on Scientists Say Organic Food May Not Be Healthier For You · · Score: 1

    I thought people chose organic primarily because they did not want to consume pesticides, herbicides, Roundup, Budnip, etc.
    Everything else is secondary.
    Sure the government says that stuff is not bad for you, but why take their word for it?

  22. I'd rather on Controlling Linux Using an Android Phone As Mouse, Keyboard, and Gamepad · · Score: 1

    I'd rather use a full size keyboard/mouse to control my blackberry or iPhone.

  23. Insurance on SCOTUS Refuses To Hear Tenenbaum Appeal · · Score: 1

    I wonder if an insurance company could insure against this?

  24. Move to Chernobyl on NOAA Study: Radiation From Fukushima Very Dilluted, Seafood Safe · · Score: 1

    Radiation is mostly harmless. You could also ingest small amounts of poisons with no ill effects, so go ahead and do that too.

  25. By the Same Token... on You Will Never Kill Piracy · · Score: 1

    You will never kill the assault on your personal liberties and freedoms by corporate interests. They will endlessly force legislation to protect their profits, regardless of whether or not it impinges on your rights and freedoms.
