  1. Re:What Science Really is... on Kansas Challenges Definition of Science · · Score: 1

    It's not a prediction if it was already true when you made it.

  2. Re:Wrong on Kansas Challenges Definition of Science · · Score: 1

    My fat wang is divine and in fact created all that exists just three minutes ago. All of your memories were implanted by said member.

    Falsify that. Or do you not know what 'falsifiable' means?

    Sickle cell anemia is a disease. It also confers resistance to malaria, and is a selected trait in certain parts of the world, such as Africa. It would not be thus in Siberia.

    "Order to disorder" is not a valid phrase in the context of evolutionary theory. Changes occur in the gene pool of a population. Selection is made for or against the resulting trait.

    Ever considered the fact that the reason most observed mutations are harmful is because those are the ones that garner attention? A positive mutation would be very quickly lost in the shuffle. It's not like all mutations require you to suddenly grow a new part or breathe fire.

  4. Re:What's it worth? on Al Gore to Receive Internet Achievement Award · · Score: 1

    I think Vint Cerf is pretty damn smart, actually.

    And Arianna Huffington isn't exactly an airhead in my experience, but she's obviously not qualified in the area.

  5. Re:It's Senatese on Al Gore to Receive Internet Achievement Award · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind that Gore is not a techie. Like the majority of Americans, he sees "the Internet" as AOL, the World Wide Web, and email. His work in the Senate helped create what is currently called the Internet.

    Of course, the other explanation is pretty obvious when you see the actual video clip where he said it -- he's clearly nervous and he's stumbling over his words a little.

    Note that I didn't vote for him in 2000 and I'm not a Democrat, but I think the smear campaign continually waged to make him look like a liar was pretty repulsive.

  7. Re:legality? on Hack IIS6 Contest · · Score: 1

    The fact that they gave you permission, perhaps?

  8. Re:Don't forget your towel! on Hitchhikers Guide Movie Might Become a Trilogy · · Score: 1

    Because they tend to be the same sort of people that blather about 42 at the slightest provocation.

    It turns a nice series of stories into a few inconsequential gimmicks.

  9. Re:Good news, even for Sid users. on Sarge is Now Frozen · · Score: 1

    Debian makes significant local changes to packages. Switching from XFree86 to Xorg would be a major change, considering all of the changes that would have to be merged over.

  10. Re:I gotta say... on Azureus Decentralizes Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    Ever consider that, perhaps, there's enough people in Slashdot's hundreds of thousands of readers to generate a nearly unique set of posters for each topic?

    That the people upset about GPL violations may be different than the pro-filesharing contingent?

  11. Re:crux on No Need For Trek Anymore · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Anyone who was influenced in their youth by Heinlein needs to be sterilized and confined for everyone's safety.

  12. Re:Exactly on No Need For Trek Anymore · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    A writer that can write something that isn't:
    * Full of latent desire to fuck boys (Ender's Game)
    * Endlessly droning and excessively philosophical (Xenocide, CotM, etc.)
    * Painfully reactionary (everything else he wrote)

    Of course, I suppose JRRT being an angry, xenophobic, atavist crank didn't keep him from becoming popular.

  13. Re:OSC the homophobe and his writing on No Need For Trek Anymore · · Score: 1

    Yup. Very likely the faggiest scene in literature outside Oscar Wilde or those little paperbacks they sell with names like "Hot Houseboy."

  14. Re:Don't forget your towel! on Hitchhikers Guide Movie Might Become a Trilogy · · Score: 1

    You know, I told the person I went to the movie with that if I saw anyone with a towel, I would personally kick them in the nuts, hold them down, and piss in their eye sockets.

    Unluckily, I didn't see anyone that sad.

  15. Re:True, but... on Hitchhikers Guide Movie Might Become a Trilogy · · Score: 1

    He learned to fly in Life, etc. just after he met Agrajag. He then ran into the party (literally).

    So Long started with him coming back to earth after wandering around a lot.

  16. Re:Want a good laugh? on Lawsuit Says GPL is a Price-Fixing Scheme · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that was an oblique reference to the famous "Get A Brain Morans" image.

  17. Re:Umm, Something Awful? on Annual Fee For Your Comment? · · Score: 1

    Eh, it's mostly because SA readers need something else to spend their parents' money on other than hentai and japscat.

  22. Re:Congratulations, you are a great example on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    I'd sure like to see that recording. Are you aware of any way I could get my hands on it?

    Perhaps so an independent party could review it and verify the US claims?

  23. Re:Adblock *.svg on Firefox 1.1 Plans Native SVG Support · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That won't work, actually. The SVG will be embedded directly into the page source.

    There isn't really much SVG can do to annoy you that can't already be done with liberal use of CSS and Javascript.

  25. Re:The movie will still bomb on Serenity Screenings Sell Out · · Score: 1

    Probably a lot like how this new movie by the Jumanji director seems like a cheap imitation of Jumanji, and the new Star Wars movies seem like a cheap imitation of Star Wars.
