  1. Re:Women's grandmaster? on 16th World Computer Chess Championship In Progress · · Score: 1

    You label me a troll because I hold a point of view contrary to yours.

    No, he labeled you a troll because you drew an invalid conclusion that was inflammatory and based it on no evidence. I mean, the article you linked to even shows that men have higher IQs. IQ tests have their flaws just like everything else in this world, but it's evidence nonetheless.

    Unless you mean to imply that those of us who took Diebold's promise to deliver 2004 to Bush (and did so) at face value somehow count as conspiracy theorists.

    The exact quote was, "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

    I guess that rules out a film version of Jeff Foxworthy's game show.

    At least they'll like the slender lorises on the cover of the O'Reilly book.

    I don't like internets, they take days to deliver. They're not a truck you can just dump stuff onto, you know!

  8. Re:pick the cat on Now Google's CAPTCHA Is Broken · · Score: 1
    The article says:

    Added the ability to recognize the captcha type as "click on image with the cat"

    ... which is a lot different from actually picking the cat. Either this is BS, or that program is about to become self-aware.

  9. Re:Fuck the police on MI6 Terror Photos, Data Accidentally Sold On Ebay · · Score: 1

    I like how the concept of personal property is worthy of a troll mod here. Apparently property is wrong in the Slashdot moral system-- except when it's one's own house, car, computer, phone, etc.

  10. Re:Natural device? on Removing CO2 From the Air Efficiently · · Score: 1

    But largely not to the air, which is where CO2 is allegedly a problem.

  11. Re:Natural device? on Removing CO2 From the Air Efficiently · · Score: 1

    How long does a tree live? How much of its mass becomes gaseous? Like the GP said, it doesn't evaporate. If it did, it would be a lot easier to haul away.

    Intriguing! Really; there were millions.

    I see the troll was just trolled.

    Parasites and non-human predators kill quite a few, as well. Not billions, but neither do humans: because your statement is a bald-faced troll with absolutely nothing behind it.

  15. Re:yes and no on Strong Methane Emissions On the Siberian Shelf · · Score: 1

    So if I posted a video of Al Gore on Youtube, he'd also become an instant hack? Sorry, trick question.
    I'm not quite sure which fallacy your "rebuttal" uses: "appeal to ridicule" or "poisoning the well." I'll look it up and get back to you.

  16. Re:Don't worry about global warming on Strong Methane Emissions On the Siberian Shelf · · Score: 1

    You can see there's no real need to worry about global warming. If the "explosions and conflagrations" don't get you, the smoke and dust might cause global cooling. Or global warming, it could go either way.

    Which is like a meteorologist giving a 50% chance of rain. He looks competent either way.

    I like being reactionary, then, because it is impossible to have a democratic communist society. The foundation of democracy is this: life, liberty, and the pursuit of property. Socialism eliminates the third, greatly reduces the second, and treats the first almost as badly as fascism (a form of government with which the philosophy is quite compatible.

    Maybe you would have to prove that an individual's carbon emissions actually have any sort of impact on the climate. Maybe athletes have to pay more because they burn more calories. Would you penalize poorer people who have to drive to work in less efficient cars, or would you force them under threat of imprisonment to ride the bus?
