  1. Re:How convenient... on Panetta Labels Climate Change a National Security Threat · · Score: 1

    In absentia ("we had to put him down") of course. The defendant could not be reached for comment at this time.

  2. Re:War On Climate on Panetta Labels Climate Change a National Security Threat · · Score: 4, Insightful

    1. The EPA will get it's own SWAT team.

    2. Green subsidies will be moved to the defense budget.

    And conveniently bypassing Congressional approval too.

  4. Re:crappy difference-equation mathematics on MIT Institute's Gloomy Prediction: 'Global Economic Collapse' By 2030 · · Score: 1

    I'm not at all convinced that increased CO2 would be that bad, or even bad per se. The IPCC overstates temperature sensitivity to CO2.

  5. Re:We all know why on Does Higher Health Care Spending Lead To Better Patient Outcomes? · · Score: 1

    There are places where you can get free food. Same will be true for medical care once the rules stating that nobody can be turned away are repealed.

    Foreign Aid, duh.

    He wanted to manipulate us, like he tried to manipulate the electoral process.

  8. Mad Science on Solving Climate Change By Bioengineering Humans? · · Score: 1

    This falls firmly into the Orwell/Mad science category. He wants to genetically modify people so they prefer the diet he believes to be optimal.

  9. Re:Steve Jobs said it best on Pakistan Looking For Homegrown URL Blocking System · · Score: 2

    Don't worry, someone will come up with a half assed solution to extract some money from the Pak government.

  10. Re:What kind of argument is that? on Is Climate Change the New Evolution? · · Score: 1

    Except that the IPCC has always overestimated the warming.

  11. Re:What kind of argument is that? on Is Climate Change the New Evolution? · · Score: 1

    This is completely useless as the end result of an experiment, and you know it. So far, the IPCC predictions have all overestimated the temperature increase, unlike the standard acceleration due to gravity, which has been calculated quite precisely. So the much vaunted climate models do not match reality yet. This is not the first, nor will be the last time large segments of the establishment have been wrong.

    So, if it's an experiment, what's the Null Result?

  13. Re:What kind of argument is that? on Is Climate Change the New Evolution? · · Score: 2

    It's easy to do experiments that test gravity. Much, much harder to test climate change.

  14. Re:Why is it the government's responsibility? on Why Fuel Efficiency Advances Haven't Translated To Better Gas Mileage · · Score: 1

    That's actually a very reasonable question. A hundred years ago, Heroin was not banned. There was no epidemic of junkies either.

  15. Re:Yeah, yeah...everything enjoyable is bad for yo on Does 'Supersizing' Supershrink Your Brain? · · Score: 1

    There's one theory that suggests PUFAs are unnecessary. Avoid Omega-6 and you don't need the Omega-3 either.

    People say that all the time, but there are plenty of useful effective supplements. Many of the vitamins, for example.

    You are exactly wrong. It is young people who are willing to work for less pay. Old people on the other hand have a better idea of how much their expertise is worth. Lets face it, slashdot is getting middle-aged.

    So break the companies apart, and help the people with say unemployment.

    So save the people, and let the companies fail.

  25. Re:Psych on China To Cancel College Majors That Don't Pay · · Score: 1

    The problem with increasing bureaucracy, is that one company will hire more people to get around it, and every other (sufficiently big) company will also hire more people. So while hiring more people may be a net benefit to one company, it will waste more money as everyone is forced to hire more people as well as setting the bar too high for newcomers.
