    They are pointing out their expertise and wit, not their ability to use the web, reason, or facts.
    Hope that helps.

  5. Supercar! on Gerry Anderson, Co-Creator of Thunderbirds, Dies · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Supercar prior to Fireball et al?
    I think it was on in 1961.
    Puppets with big heads and a flying car.

  6. 'neck in neck'? on Intel Challenges ARM On Power Consumption... And Ties · · Score: 3, Informative

    Oh for crying out loud: Neck and Neck.
    Often used when describing two racers that are nearly even in position.

  7. Why? on The World's Fastest-Growing Cause of Death Is Pollution From Car Exhaust · · Score: 4, Funny

    All I need is some of your personal information and some cash to prove your interest in this fine offering.

  9. The Grey Lady is senile on Twin Probes Crash Into the Moon · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    To see truth or accuracy in the NYT requires equal faith in Kris Kringle.
    Because some infotainment publisher pushes stories you want to believe it doesn't make them accurate.

  10. Re:Kudos on Anonymous Hacks Westboro Baptist Church · · Score: 2

    'People don't always recognise the latter' : People such as yourself.
    You or someone like you hates it when people say something you or someone like you think is outrageous so you or someone like you say ban/destroy them.
    ---
    A few others feel otherwise.
    That westboro group are a bunch of crappy people (in my opinion) and I wish they did not exist.
    I saw no big outrage while they confined their activities to being ass-hats at military funerals.
    I was disgusted by their activities then and now

    People like you and like you that are only now disturbed need a mirror.
    Please look at your real issues.

  13. Re:Do you heat your house? on Is It Worth Investing In a High-Efficiency Power Supply? · · Score: 1

    I live in (Western) Washington State, heat pumps are rare.
    Seems like well less than 10 percent of heating systems.
    Oil heat used to be the king here, gas or oil systems converted to gas seem to be the norm now.
    Heating is the issue here, not cooling.So, maybe you you can take a break on the attitude, depending on where your head is.
    ---
    Tried googling for percentage of heating system types in use but got nothing useful, kind of like here.

  18. Re:Public Accountability Institute on UT Professor Resigns Over Fracking Conflict of Interest · · Score: 2

    Are you implying that the person that 'says' they are motivated by what they feel is right is a savior, it doesn't matter that they are entirely financed by opposing interests?
    Thank you for your valuable insight Mr. (multimillionaire) Gore.

  22. test OR experiment on Workers Raise First Section of New Chernobyl Shelter · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why you see a big difference in calling that a test rather than an experiment.
    I speak English however I was taught by mostly unmotivated public school employees in Western Washington.
    Anyway, one mans [experiment | test] is another mans meltdown.

  23. Fully agree! on Ask Slashdot: Will You Shop Local Like President Obama, Or Online? · · Score: 1

    Spot on!
    However, that does not exonerate the government for their tremendous waste.
    In the U.S. it does not (legally) give them the right to pick winners and losers based on how much someone donated to their party.
    It should not excuse them for making themselves mutli-millionaires while blaming millionaires for the problems the government created.

  24. The West Wing... on Why Iron Dome Might Only Work For Israel · · Score: 1

    I hope you're sitting down when you read this: "The West Wing" is a TV show.
    It's not real, unless you mean real slanted.
