  1. KFC Makes Breakthrough on Scientists Regrow Chicken Wing · · Score: 1

    Now we can harvest the delicious wings from the chicken, and leave the chickens in their pens to regrow their wings for future harvests.

  2. Don't Blame the Students, Blame the Schools on Are College Students Techno Idiots? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This should not come as any surprise, where most students are from the failed government schooling system, and most colleges are little more than glorified trade schools or propagators of the latest wacky idea en vogue.

  3. Re:Don't Blame the Machines on Man's Vote for Himself Missing In E-Vote Count · · Score: 1

    I suspect the miscount is due to human intervention, who have taken the vote count from the machines and counted the votes their own way.

  4. Don't Blame the Machines on Man's Vote for Himself Missing In E-Vote Count · · Score: 1

    I think it's worth pointing out that the machines themselves don't appear to be at fault, but rather a person or persons that counted the votes, so to speak.

  7. You Can Delete the Logs Present Now... on German ISP Forced To Delete IP Logs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...but what happens when the user logs on again, after the IP log purge? Are they back in the records from that point on?

    Mmm, Brazil!

  9. How Can These Be From the Future? on Gadgets From the Future · · Score: 1

    They're just tired retreads of existing products. Future should mean completely original and innovative. This is just future as next Sunday AD.

    ..and 99.99 million of them are crap.

  11. FireFox 2 Rendering Speed Compared to IE7 on Ask a Mozilla Person About Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Dear Chris Beard, I have used Firefox since before 1.0, and one thing that Internet Explorer has always beaten FF on is rendering speed. With the release of IE7, Microsoft has made IE at least feel faster than before, and it certainly has adopted many features that made FF such a stand-out, security not withstanding. I would like to know if Mozilla has made it a priority in the past to give FF a rendering speed competitive with or faster than IE, and if we will see FF becoming competitive with or faster than IE in rendering web pages in future releases? Thanks.

  12. Re:Turn-About is Fair Play on Venezuelan Interest In U.S. Voting Software · · Score: 1

    Well, that's technically true, but in a parliamentary system, whichever Party has the most votes generally is able to place itself in positions of power, and voters don't vote directly for a PM, Chancellor, etc. Hitler was appointed chancellor after the National Socialists had won 43.9% of the vote in March, making the National Socialists the largest and most powerful Party in the Reichstag. Prior to the election, Hitler was head of the National Socialists. In effect, he was democratically elected as head of the Reich.

    I know I'm falling into a trap, but so was Hitler. Sort of torpedoes your point.

  14. Turn-About is Fair Play on Venezuelan Interest In U.S. Voting Software · · Score: 1

    Somewhat amusing that after some Democratic partisans carped about electronic voting machines stealing elections for the GOP, now there's a federal investigation into one of the electronic voting machine companies for its ties to leftist dictator Hugo Chavez.

  15. Re:Scholars Already Lost Before They Joined on Can Wikipedia Ever Make the Grade? · · Score: 1

    No, citations are often either ignored, or if in print and not readily available on the internet, taken as nonexistent.

  16. Scholars Already Lost Before They Joined on Can Wikipedia Ever Make the Grade? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Scholars joining Wikipedia in the hopes of fixing the thing is a mistake. The great migration(s) from Wikipedia have been primarily experts who are chased off by griefers. Getting a new batch involved will just set things up for another exodus.

  18. My List, US Won't Let Me Go All That Easily on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    I would go to nations that are more economically free than the United States, that also have comparable levels of personal freedom. These nations are Singapore, Ireland, Estonia, Australia, and possibly Denmark. I have not left the United States out of sentimental loyalty to my State, not the entire Empire, and out of fear of making such a drastic change in my life. Also, the national government of the United States cruelly and unjustly prevents an American from voluntarily discharging their citizenship for a period of seven or so years, I believe, in which the US insists on the power of taxation and control over that individual.

    Personally I just crank the tunes.

    Good job, you boorish oaf. Now you've contributed to the problem, and your co-workers probably hate you. Or you're using headphones, and going deaf.

  21. Humans Only Have Power When They Can be Blamed? on What Earth Without People Would Look Like · · Score: 1
    What if every human being, all 6.5 billion of us, were suddenly abducted and the planet was left to fend for itself? The planet would heal.

    This coming from the eco-hystericals who focus entirely on humans as being solely responsible for anything that happens on the entire planet, which is usually bad. That's some lopsided power.

  23. Slashdot a Wee Bit Insinuatory on YouTube Accused Of Censorship · · Score: 1
    It's also worth pointing out that WorldNetDaily could be described as just wee bit conservative

    Um, so? Slashdot is a wee bit liberal. The issue is if YouTube is censoring videos whose politics they disagree with or not. Bashing the source for its politics irregardless of factual accuracy is shameful.

  24. Re:What's wrong with Wikipedia on A Look Inside Citizendium · · Score: 1

    I've noticed that in the uber-parent's blog link, the author says he's never seen any vandalism on Wikipedia. Why are we posting links to blogs from people who for some reason are pretending to be experts on Wikipedia when it appears he's never used the thing?
