  1. Re:Which one? on Earth's Constant Hum Explained · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Humans are deeply curious, and the desire to know is independent of the knowledges applicability. Are you a cyborg?

  2. Re:Nothing at all on Using Technology to Improve Kindergarten? · · Score: 1

    Thats funny, I don't remember saying that Correlation = Causation, I only noted a correlation.

  3. Re:Nothing at all on Using Technology to Improve Kindergarten? · · Score: 1

    There was an article recently in the SF Chronicle which said a correlation exists between autism and increased time kids spend in front of the tv. I think your suggestion is spot-on.

    "And we learned of a sharp tooth snail that lives IN OUR NOSES and will cut off any fingers that end up inside."

    Too bad, it has been since learned that by ingesting wind-born particles through the stomach (eating boggers), the immune system learns not to over react to them with a histamine response.

    Don't get your knickers in a twist, the person asked for an opinion and they are getting them: just what they wanted!

  6. seeds? on Space Potato Hits the Streets · · Score: 1

    "that sweet potato seeds sent to space as a part of China's Shenzhou VI mission are hitting the streets"

    I have never eaten sweet potato seeds, has anyone? Not to nitpick, but is thinking before writing optional now? Or has it always been optional?

  7. Re:Overreaction of course on Cartoon Network CEO Resigns Over Aqua Teen Scare · · Score: 1

    What freak moderated this guy troll? Is the outrage that the police didn't take this casually so great that you can't even express a well thought out contrary opinion?

  8. Sorry, but on Cartoon Network CEO Resigns Over Aqua Teen Scare · · Score: 1

    when people are running around screaming "They've got guns! They've got guns!" only a moron pulls out a plastic gun and waves it around.

  9. Re:According to courtroom reporters... on Woman Wins Right to Criticize Surgeon on Website · · Score: 1

    In reality I knew what you were driving at, I was just having an 'I can be a jerk' moment, sorry.

  10. Re:According to courtroom reporters... on Woman Wins Right to Criticize Surgeon on Website · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "What do you expect when you make such a serious decision on such short notice while admittedly depressed?"

    Are you saying that under these circumstances one should expect a shitty job? What, does your depression somehow affect the surgeon?

  11. Re:An ounce of prevention on Study Show Link Between IT Sabotage, Work Behavior · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    People will hang out with you as long as you have stuff, but none of them will be friends.

  12. Re:No problem on Low Earth Orbit Junk Yard Nearly Full · · Score: 1

    That sucks!

  13. Re:The ultimate problems? on Want to Take On An Open/Unsolved Problem? · · Score: 1

    "Where do socks go in the laundry?"

    My brothers cat steals socks from the neighbors laundry, maybe he has some of yours.

  14. Re:Tall poppy syndrome on Google Sought To Hide Political Dealmaking · · Score: 1

    That 89 million means nothing to Google but could go a long way to assist the state.

    As for "if you want to attack "evil" there are plenty of targets, corporations that lay the planet to waste ..."

    How many of them have 'do no evil' as a slogan?

    And do we need to create an evil ranking and no one can attack any but the most evil by ranking?

  15. Re:How can anybody be banned from internet? on MySpace Worm Creator Sentenced · · Score: 1

    "But why wouldn't I want to fuck with MySpace? Where else on the net could I find a bigger group of clueless individuals to mess with?"

    And that attitude is exactly why we have laws and punishment. They give you a reason to behave in ways acceptable to the society as a whole.

  16. Re:The Mail Nazi! on Lycos Deletes Emails and Says 'Too Bad!' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    One is only a freak when one is out of the mainstream, which now applys to you. Get used to it freak. You will probably be a freak for a long time since your friends fucked up so bad.

  17. Re:Science is *NOT* a contest, and reality cares n on The Role of Prizes In Innovation · · Score: 1

    Do you have a problem with irony? His point was perfectly lucid and I appreciated the reminder.

  18. Re:Prizes are nice but what of losers? on The Role of Prizes In Innovation · · Score: 1

    That's what I though when I read

    "...an important piece of shifting risk from inside the walls of the company and moving it out to the solver community,"

    So depleting the solver community is for the benefit of the "company", why didn't I guess that?

  19. Re:Not Quite on US Attorney General Questions Habeas Corpus · · Score: 1

    You are so far off base I don't know where to begin or even if I should bother. Alberto Gonzolas is attempting to undermine the Constitution. If this does not constitute treason I don't know what does.

  20. Re:Wow. on The Grassroots Blogging Provision's Real Purpose · · Score: 1

    This is news. Is it the fact the Slashdot was HAD that bothers you?

  21. Re:Not Quite on US Attorney General Questions Habeas Corpus · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When Alberto attempts to do an end-run around the Constitution, he becomes the enemy, like a fifth column, and is certainly "giving them Aid and Comfort"

  22. Re:GW Bush is not that dumb. on MIT Labs Moves Ahead In Synthesizing Spider Silk · · Score: 2, Funny

    So in your world there is a correlation between political achievement and intelligence?

    My god, which world is this you are from? If this is true it must be a paradise on Earth! If we could but all live there.

  23. Re:Camera Phones Suck on How the Camera Phone Changed the World · · Score: 1

    "Actually its acadamia who controls the liberals. Think about that one..."

    I did and nothing comes to me, what are you driving at?

  24. And so the worlds' population on Wave-Powered Desalination · · Score: 1

    is enabled to keep climbing...climbing...climbing...

    Am I the only one who thinks pushing back all natural forms of population control in the face of mankinds inability to control its' population voluntarily is not such a good thing?

  25. Re:Major misconception on The Web 2.0 Conundrum - How Much Control is Too Much? · · Score: 1

    Your analogy applies to the analog world only. Anything digital can be taken back with the right software. The posters point is that this software has not been made available. Thus while the poster of a comment may 'own' the comment, in fact very little having to do with ownership is present. If I 'own' something I should be able to: throw it away, change it, give it to someone else etc etc, but these ownership properties are not available with 'ownership' of a post.
