  1. Re:Your a Pickle all Right! on Report Says Patents Prevent New Drugs · · Score: 1

    dang... so kill that war that you probably support, and we would have socialized healthcare for all?

    oh wait.... remember, that is a fantasy because it hasn't been proven in MANY MANY other countries.

    And please, stop quoting numbers unless you will quote them all... what does a bottle of 'insert drug that hasn't gone to generic" cost the average consumer?

    And I also know of plenty where the generic prices are extremely high as well.

    yah... i thought you would AC that one... drug companies FUCKED me up... I guess you aren't so lucky and will take the typical stance of "tighten up dem bootstraps" when you have no place in saying what you do because you have never been in the position of the less fortunate.

  3. its a pickle alright on Report Says Patents Prevent New Drugs · · Score: 1

    when an industry is the 3rd most profitable, aren't you justified in charging your consumers out the ass for your product, and then say "oh, our R&D is really expensive"

    wait... that doesn't sound very moral to me

  4. if you are in a good mood on Evidence That Good Moods Prevent Colds · · Score: 1

    then you are more likely to overlook sniffles and a cough my 2E-2 cents

  5. kudos on White Dolphin Functionally Extict · · Score: 1

    to whoever tagged it "solongandthanksforallthefish"

  6. If it was 'another type' of mammal though... on New Zealand's First Land Mammal Discovered · · Score: 1

    Could this thing possibly had claws and been predatory on the birds themselves? Food for thought - probably not much else.

  7. decent game on Neverwinter Nights 2 Review · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Its just not the type of game that an action craver would get into... Thats why Diablo series was so popular... even though you are just rolling the dice like any other genre like this, you still get the feeling that you are getting in a lot of action as well.

    but i'm a solid FPS'er, so don't take my word for it! ;)

  8. 4 years down the road on Disk Drives Face Challenge From Chips · · Score: 1

    when we all have 16 GIGS of ram and all running our OS straight from ramdrives, we will look back and laugh.

  9. finally! on A Terabyte of Data on a Regular DVD? · · Score: 5, Funny

    something big enough to hold my pr0n collection!

  10. Shouldn't there be at least 5 parts before on Diary of a WoW Noob's Addiction · · Score: 1

    submitting it to slashdot? I'm not trying to troll, I guess two parts isn't enough when it comes to something like explaining a gaming addiction...

  11. Only people who don't know how to build a PC on Apples Are For Grannies? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    buy a mac.... and of course those who want to look cool with their matching ipod accessory.

  12. this stuff is in cigarettes on Polonium-210 Available Through Mail Order · · Score: 1

    you don't have to look hard to find radioactive material... Would you like a dose of potassium 40? Let me throw a banana at you...

  13. Its right here!!! on Mars Probe Probably Lost Forever · · Score: 1

    Snarbledorf and Veedlemore decided to use it to refuel their spacecraft, which i'm currently on.. now let me take this probe out from where the sun don't shine.

  14. Ironic.... on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 1

    Last night I slept for 13 hours - the night before I only slept 4 and had a very busy day. Yes, i'm still in a daze as i'm just waking up, but I know i'll feel great today. I wonder if mister viking can say the same.

  15. I wonder if on Clear Channel Goes Private and Streamlined · · Score: 1

    since the republican controlled congress pretty much said "monopolies are ok" that clear channel (one of the largest and most insane monopoly) saw this coming and decided to break up before being forced to break up, becuase i'm assuming a democratically elected congress will strike monopolies down pretty quick.

  16. PRESENT HALL PASS!!!!! on Machine Gun Sentry Robot Unveiled · · Score: 1

    lol.... sorry... I'm sure about 1 out of 10 of you get that one :)

  17. WHAT NEEDS TO BE ASKED on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    is which side is more intelligent... then base your numbers off of that and which group pays attension to the drama we call news, especially on which channels.

  18. I just watched the whole thing on HBO's Hacking Democracy Available Online · · Score: 1
    These are just two exerpts of a chat I had going with someone at the time of watching this.. ENJOY MY QUIRKYNESS!!!

    i've always thought that the 2004 election was rigged... partly becuase of how fast Kerry conceeded. he's a smart guy, he should have known better?

    chat log started********

    heres a checker... just to see if you stick to your convictions (anyone)

    if clinton was to become a dictator by some wierd ass "whatever" would you be like "alright!!!" OR "WTF THIS IS A DEMOCRACY!!!!!"

    i don't think most people would think about it if they liked the person... or their mom and dad told them to vote for so and so.

  19. Wow... this is too easy on Verifiable Elections Via Cryptography · · Score: 1

  22. Re:Saddam verdict on Sunday, U.S. election on Tues on Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death · · Score: 1

    That's just a coincidence, right?

    Can you please think that way... please? It will make herding the sheep so much easier!! :) As soon as I saw this post, thats immediately what I thought - the more important thing however, is how much, and where the news will be talking about this, and how their talk cooincides with slander ads.... I really wouldn't know since I don't watch TV....

    Either way, its good to remember that these people we are trying to liberate still have no problem hanging a person. Why waste a needle and save some human suffering? And don't give me any of that eye for an eye crap - what is done is done and two wrongs never makes a right. ps - screw math

  23. I could only hope that everyone on earth on Bruce Schneier On Perceived and Real Risks · · Score: 1
