  1. Re:clever! on HBGary Federal Hacked By Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Didn't that guy use to coach the Browns and Jets? After the rule of the great Belichiki, everything went to hell.

    It's all you can do when you're on the losing side of political correctness.

  3. Re:IT for bookies? on EA Simulation Correctly Picked Super Bowl Champs in September · · Score: 1

    My tip: If you want to really experience a hoagie, find a mom and pop delicatessen in South Jersey.

    And put $50 on "Little Louie" to win.

  5. Re:Waste Heat Engine on US Team Seeks To Top Steam-Car Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Your Corolla would go about 5 MPH in first gear. With that kind of logic, I would be surprised if you could find the oil dipstick in your car.

  6. Re:At least someone is looking out for us. on Senator Wyden Asks DHS To Explain Domain Seizures · · Score: 1

    Wyden seems pretty opposed to the the right to self-defense and the right to not have to buy health insurance.

  7. Don't be afraid. on Japan's Elderly Nix Robot Helpers · · Score: 1

    What these folks need is robot insurance. For robots are made of metal, and are strong. They eat old people's medicine for fuel.

  8. Bureaucracy on Immigration Officer Puts Wife on No-Fly List · · Score: 1

    Cheers to the bureaucrats for taking three years to realize this! Seriously, it must have been uncomfortable around the 'office', shrugging every time a coworker asked what the wife was up to.

  9. Re:Waste Heat Engine on US Team Seeks To Top Steam-Car Speed Record · · Score: 1
    Yeah, but show me the little 6-cylinder gas engine that can get 850 LB/FT OF TORQUE like this baby can! You could pull out tree stumps in between runs on the drag strip.

  12. Re:Why is this funny? on What’s the Internet? (on 1994's Today Show) · · Score: -1, Troll

    I would posit that the American people would rather embark on a learning adventure than be lectured ... I think this is why Bill Nye (yes, I know he wasn't the original) appealed to me so much as a kid.

    Not so much lately. Calling global warming skeptics "almost unpatriotic" and claiming we can feel climate change "in our hearts."

  17. Re:Knee-Jerk Reaction on Egyptians Find New Ways To Get Online · · Score: 1

    It's funny how the same slashdotters who had a cow about W wanting to wiretap suspected terrorists without a warrant are OK with Obama shutting down communications without a warrant. You see, the bill explicitly excludes "judicial oversight".

  18. Re:Knee-Jerk Reaction on Egyptians Find New Ways To Get Online · · Score: 1

    Wow... and here I thought elections went on as planned, and W was legally replaced by Obama in 2009. I didn't know that W had installed himself as Chancellor.

  20. Re:What does communist have to do with it? on Did the Chinese Military Use Top Gun Footage? · · Score: 1

    That should tell you something about where our federal government is headed. "Small" and "limited" are probably not adjectives I would use.

  21. Re:Nationalize the Banks on Official — Economic Crash Not Computers' Fault · · Score: 1

    After a few months they'd find a buyer for the bank and sell it.

    I'm not very confident that will happen. And by buying the bank, everyone who has investments in that bank will lose them just like with the GM "reorg". There go the 401Ks again.

  22. Re:Science is being bullied on Teachers Back Away From Evolution In Class · · Score: 1

    If you don't tech them creationism exists, then you are making them ignorant. You are part of the problem. I'm sure that a good teacher (optimistic, I know) will have no trouble showing why evolution is more correct.

  23. Re:Science is being bullied on Teachers Back Away From Evolution In Class · · Score: 1

    In lieu of sufficient data, the origin narrative of Genesis was indeed taught as evolution is today. Assuming that it's in error still does not exclude ignoring it as if it never existed. If that is the case, then we also need to ignore earlier erroneous conclusions: phlogiston, the four elements, the geocentric theory, perpetual motion, and the centrifugal force. Let's just ignore them, because I'm sure that the children being born today are highly evolved little supergeniuses that won't benefit from learning from our mistakes.
