    One. Grow 'em big in these parts.

  2. Re:Population control on A Case For a Software Testing Undergrad Major · · Score: 2

    Not objecting to tested software - that's a good idea. Can't imagine that a career testing software would be compelling. You'd get yelled at from the user and from the dev side, except for the more thoughtful devs.

  3. Population control on A Case For a Software Testing Undergrad Major · · Score: 4, Funny

    People get this major, get a job, blow brains out...

  4. Power company on Ask Slashdot: Would You Accept 'Bitcoin-Ware' Apps? · · Score: 1

    Evidently, upon reading the above, Bitcoins were created by the power company since they profit the most from the whole process.

    Not true. Business suit part makes you stop caring and start thinking about ways to Profit.

  6. Re:How about gloves? on New Smart Gun Company Hopes To Begin Production This Summer · · Score: 1

    Gun doesn't fire. Move finger around trying to authenticate the print ... shake gun a bit ... wiggle finger more ... look at business end of gun to see if finger is in the right spot ... wiggle finger again ........

  7. Innocent mistake! on Genetically Modified Plants To Produce Natural Lighting · · Score: 1

    Oops. Misread "lighting" as "lightning" in the grant proposal. Nice new weapon system though. Little hard to control...

    I for one welcome ...

  9. Doesn't matter on Ask Slashdot: What Should Happen To Your Data After You Die? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Taking everybody with me.

  10. Dammit! EVERYBODY lies about their age!

  11. Re:Google employees on How To Bet Money On Your Future Success · · Score: 1

    In other words, people who pay their bills on time are probably costing them money over all. But, they need us in order to stablize their holdings.

    Indeed. That's why the credit card industry refers to people who pay their bills off every month as "deadbeats".

  12. Re:In other news on Windfarm Sickness Spreads By Word of Mouth · · Score: 2

    Indeed. Giant Whirling Claws of Satan!

    Don't believe them! It's a trap!

  14. Re:Hold off, but not to pare down your stuff on Ask Slashdot: Starting From Scratch After a Burglary? · · Score: 1

    Mod up. That's a pretty common approach by burglars. Come back later and take the new stuff.

  15. Re:First purchase on Ask Slashdot: Starting From Scratch After a Burglary? · · Score: 1

    Barking dog is good. Don't need mean.

  16. Oops, got the units wrong on Does the Higgs Boson Reveal Our Universe's Doomsday? · · Score: 1

    Oops, I got the units wrong again. Looks like it happens ten billion nanoseconds from now....

  17. Re:Well, that's a lot of time to wait on Does the Higgs Boson Reveal Our Universe's Doomsday? · · Score: 1

    Wrong. I recalculated their results and the Time of Doom is (whatever timeframe maximizes my book sales).

  18. Get a second medical opinion on Ask Slashdot: Keyboard Layout To Reduce Right Pinky/Ring Finger Usage? · · Score: 1

    Get a second medical opinion. Focal dystonia appears to be extremely specific to the activities that caused it. You might have something else going on instead.

  19. Re:It's called the key on Driver Trapped In Speeding Car At 125 Mph · · Score: 1

    Oops, I mis-read 'N' as 'H' (for hyperdrive). Didn't want to use hyperdrive when I was already going too fast.

  20. Re:It's called the key on Driver Trapped In Speeding Car At 125 Mph · · Score: 1

    Bad move. Now you're in a unstoppable juggernaut of a car that can't be stopped short of divine intervention (or the off button or turn the engine of with the key or putting it in neutral) and IT'S ON FIRE! Maybe he should stay away from the "unstoppable car bomber" gear on the tranny.

  21. Of course you can on Australia Is On So Much Fire, You Can See It From Orbit · · Score: 1

    Quote: Australia Is On So Much Fire, You Can See It From Orbit Of course you can see Australia from orbit! It's big. What would be impressive would be if there was so much smoke from fires that you could not see it from orbit.

  22. Re:Weak evidence on America's Real Criminal Element: Lead · · Score: 1

    /. is the perfect place for it. Talk about getting some serious peer review...

  23. Re:Roman Empire on America's Real Criminal Element: Lead · · Score: 2

    Clearly, there is an optimum. They increase their lead content along with Rome for centuries, but they they got too much and it ruined them. Also explains why somebody who as been shot once (and survived) is much more cautious and thoughtful when facing the same circumstances later.

  24. Re:needs lazars on Star Wars Fans Plan Full-Size Millennium Falcon Replica · · Score: 1

    Gotta be a fully functional working copy.
