    That's pretty unusual. What has you there?

    Do I win?

    In the big picture, I'd say very much no.

    That would be in the butt, Bob.

  4. Re:Every Other OS on Microsoft Won't Bring Back the Start Menu Until 2015 · · Score: 3, Funny

    After a while, you really have to wonder why they keep doing this.

    Yeah, they should only release odd-numbered OS's!

  6. Re:Who gives a shit? on HR Chief: Google Sexual, Racial Diversity "Not Where We Want to Be" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have a few thoughts:

    1) I've seen nothing like that, and I've been in the business for years.

    2) How do you know that it's your sex that's turning them off, as opposed to something else? People can have remarkable blind-spots regarding their shortcomings.

    3) "I say this is her." It might be your command of grammar ;)

    I think Thomas Magnum would like a word with him.

    Ballmer will be throwing chairs from the courtside now.

    I think you beat about 50,000 Slashdot users to that thread of humor.

  9. Re:If he is such a believer of constitution... on In First American TV Interview, Snowden Talks Accountability and Patriotism · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If that is the case, why doesn't he or, rather didn't he, let the constitution he believes in so much, decide his fate by staying in the US and facing the judicial system ?

    I think you're begging the question. His whole point was that the government which would like to prosecute him does not follow the Constitution. Case in point, prisoners in Gitmo, or the CIA's torture victims.

  10. Wasn't there an Airwolf episode where they were walking through Archangel's lab workspace, and some researcher was controlling a model plane with his mind?

    Or maybe I'm thinking of an old Knight Rider episode.

    Boy, that escalated quickly.

    It could be worse. Someone could have brought up Hitler. ...

    Dammit.

    No worries, it doesn't count as a Godwin until you actually compare someone to Hitler.

    Carry on.

    What are you, some kind of meme Nazi???

  12. Re:Rinse Lather Repeat. on Misogyny, Entitlement, and Nerds · · Score: 1

    I have considered it from another perspective. I decided they were seriously wrong. I just didn't bother posting my conclusions to Slashdot.

    The irony is that Chu is attacking nerds for stereotyping all women. But in the process, he's stereotyping all nerds.

    So if we tell him about some geeks who are women, will he implode?

    Look Arthur, we're all really happy that you've got a GF who you think this stunt will impress. But throwing one group under the bus to stand up for another still results in just as many people getting hit by the bus.

    Yeah! Bro's before ho's!

    Oh, wait. Dammit.

    Under the Obama administration, the preferred form of entry into the U.S. is via the Mexican border. Once they cross by that border, they'll be untouchable by INS, and even committing serious crimes will not guarantee their removal from the U.S.

    Or, to summarize, visas are for suckers.

  19. Re: I'll get flak for this on Ask Slashdot: Communication With Locked-in Syndrome Patient? · · Score: 2

    Exactly my first thought, and I agree.

    I'm not dead positive it matters, but I suspect that it does. Perhaps not on any way we'll recognize on this life.

    But it's a risk I'm willing to take.

    I was just pointing out that we as Americans like to consider ourselves morally superior to our counterparts, but in reality we engage in a lot of the same practices.

    I believe that's a general human trait, and not specifically American.

    There's a reason we don't trust journalists to get science stories right. They allow hedlines which ignore issues like control groups.
