  1. Don't bother looking in Washington D.C. on Researchers Try To Identify the Intelligence Gene · · Score: 1

    They wouldn't find an intelligence gene in DC in the last 50 years regardless of party affiliation.

  2. Idiots on Japan To Be Without Nuclear Power After May 5 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Had the backup generators been built & placed correctly, had the power company taken the suggestions of the reactor builder, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Congrats Japan for stepping back in time to the dark ages. Enjoy this summer of brown outs, no AC, rolling black outs. You did this to yourself. The anti-nuke at any price/global warming/enviro-nuts must be really proud of themselves!

  3. More but still "global warming" on Emperor Penguins Counted From Space · · Score: 0

    Amazing....MORE of something but, still they keep up with the "man made" global warming BS.

  4. Nothing compared to what... on Statistical Analysis Raises Civil War Death Count By 20% · · Score: 1

    is about to take place. The U.S. government will most likely slaughter millions to achieve its goal of total control over the population. It doesn't matter if they have an R or a D in their title, the ruling class will stop at nothing for absolute power.

  5. SUNSPOTS on 1981 Paper's Predictions for Global Temperatures Spot-On · · Score: 2

    And if you take pretty much the same data, over time, and show when the sunspot activity grew & shrank, I bet you would show that the temperature rise pretty much is spot on with the rise in geomagnetic activity from the sun, which is what heats & cools this rock we call a planet! But, considering the stupidity of "modern" man, the only thing they will read out of this is that temperatures are rising! Back when I was in high school in the 70's, they were talking about a mini ice age....but unless you read into the article, they finally mentioned the LACK of sunspots & the cooling of the sun at the time.

  6. You will never fix Africa on Ask Slashdot: How To Feed Africa? · · Score: 1

    Several reasons. 1. They live in a DESERT. Kind of hard to grow food in sand. 2. They are mostly uneducated. 3. Too many "kingdoms" and warlords 4. They've lived that way pretty much since the world was created. Until you change #1 & #2, nothing will change.

  7. It's what scientist DON'T know that scares people on 13-Billion-Year-Old Alien Worlds Discovered · · Score: 1

    So, what they are saying is that scientist don't know everything? Color me surprised!

  8. Root on Free Apps Eat Your Smartphone Battery · · Score: 1

    Root it, use a ad blocker & block em.

  9. Stupid governments on Connecticut Considers Digital Download Tax · · Score: 1

    Tax everything! I'm surprised they haven't figured out a way to tax the air we breathe, to help combat "global warming".

  10. How about this photo? on Baumgartner Completes 13.5-Mile Free-Fall Jump, Aims For Record · · Score: 2
  11. Joe Kittinger on Baumgartner Completes 13.5-Mile Free-Fall Jump, Aims For Record · · Score: 3, Informative

    What's really cool is the Col. Joe Kittinger (who has the record of 102,000+ feet since I was 2) is his biggest fan & supporter. Joe did it old school...just throw on a G-suit, space suit, parachute and jump. When he landed, he popped out a lighter & smoked a cigarette LOL. Times have changed. That HQ photo of Baumgartner standing on the edge of the capsule is my unlock screen on my phone. Cool picture. Hope they do one at 120K feet.

  12. You need to move on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 1

    from whatever fantasy world you live in, and move to REALVILLE! You think anything short of murdering every last jew, homosexual, non islam believing person in the world is going to shut Iran up?

  13. I don't buy it on Bring Back the 40-Hour Work Week · · Score: 1

    Does the article suggest that the only cost to an employer is the wage they are paid? You have training, health care and other expenses involved. Overtime is less expensive to an owners bottom line, than hiring a bunch of new people. But, in our socialistic driven agenda, profit is bad. You "occupy" clowns just don't get it do you. How many poor people have given you a job? Plus, how many poor/homeless are that way BY CHOICE. I see them every day. Standing on the corner with a sorry look on their face, dirty clothes with one of those will work for food signs. Usually they put god bless, a cross or some other symbol on it, just to tug at your emotions. Time and time again, you see stories where so called homeless people are not homeless and are not poor. They even caught one guy who was "homeless" holding up one of those signs, and the police ran him off, and he was spotted getting into an almost new car. And you have that "human wi-fi" article that was posted a few days ago, and some homeless people said they would NOT do it, since they make more money from welfare & panhandling than they would for the wi-fi gig. It's all non taxable income.

  14. One way on Russia Has Sights Set On Manned Moon Landing By 2030 · · Score: 1

    LOL, maybe they will be one way missions? God knows the USA couldn't land on the moon anymore. It takes them months just to figure out what color to paint the stupid things! Too many suits screwed up NASA.

  15. BE CAREFUL! on Campaign Urges People To Send MPAA and RIAA Copied Currency · · Score: 1

    Be careful if you are going to do this. Some stand alone scanners won't allow you to scan currency. Some color photocopiers at FedEx or the UPS store will lock up if you scan currency. Most newer machines have a "black box" that looks for stuff like that. If it locks, then whoever owns the machine may have a visit from someone to unlock it. The workaround that some use is if you scan it in b&w mode, or scan it at 75% under size or over 125% over size. I've seen my fare share of photocopiers over the last few years lock up because some church group wanted to print "fake money" for some sort of event. They got a visit from the manufacturer, and the government to unlock it.

  16. LOL...so much for drug research! on Indian Gov't Uses Special Powers To Slash Cancer Drug Price By 97% · · Score: 1

    Keep garbage like this up, and you will KILL research. Yeah, they'll do it for the common good of mankind LOL. Companies will do it if there is a PAYOFF at the end. It costs millions of dollars to research ONE drug, and bring it to market. 1 in 1000 "adverse reactions" and you'll see countless "if you or a loved one took xxx drug, you may be entitled to compensation. Call xxx-xxx-xxxx". That would cost a company billions. Drug research is a risk, and if there is no chance of a payoff, they will just stop doing it.

  17. Dead tree anything is just DOA on After 244 Years, the End For the Dead Tree Encyclopedia Britannica · · Score: 1

    Far from me to be called a "tree hugger", but in the 21st century, we are still reading PRINT material? Maybe its a generational thing...most my age (mid 50's) probably still read from dead trees, but I stopped a few years ago. Magazines, newspapers, books, reference material. It's EASIER to find something in a pdf or online publication than from something printed. Maybe in 10 years or so dead tree printing will pretty much go the way of the horse & buggy.

  18. Fool, meet money, soon to be departed. on The Lytro Camera: Impressive Technology and Some Big Drawbacks · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone buy one of these IN THEIR CURRENT mode? It's an idea in search of a purpose. I've been shooting photos for almost 40 years. Unless you are drunk, can't hold a camera steady, what's the use? If you are serious about photography, don't waste your time on this toy.

  19. They will go after the trucking industry on After Legal Fight, NCI Researchers Publish Study Linking Diesel Exhaust, Cancer · · Score: -1, Troll

    So, the next target will be the trucking industry...you just watch! Socialist/progressive/liberal/save the whales nuts won't be happy until we are naked, hiding in caves again.

  20. Government education! on Scientists Say People Aren't Smart Enough For Democracy To Flourish · · Score: 1

    I blame lack of parenting & the dumbing down of education. Instead of trying to bring the dumb ones up to the level of the smart ones, we are bring the smart ones down to the dumb level. Outcome based education, political correct education, taking god completely out of the classroom, single parent families, teen pregnancy and on and on. Ask kids about any "save the whales" program, and they can recite it chapter & verse. But, ask a high school student to name 2 supreme court justices, how a bill becomes a law or if we are a representative republic or a democracy, and 8 out of 10 students would probably respond: "dude...I have no clue". Bringing the vote age BACK up to 21 would be a good start. Bringing it down to 18 just promotes stupidity in the electorate. 18 to 22 year olds are in COLLEGE. In other words, NOT TAXPAYERS. (for the most part) Property owners should be the ones allowed to vote. They are the ones with a stake in the game. Not the welfare bums who's only existence is governed by "where is my check & free stuff!"

  21. carry two hard drives on Ask Slashdot: Using Company Laptop For Personal Use · · Score: 1

    If you can get the hard drive out, just carry one personal drive, and the work drive. If that isn't possible, just fix up a bootable thumb drive with Ubuntu or something similar.

  22. Not only no...but H*LL NO! on In Theory And Practice, Why Internet-Based Voting Is a Bad Idea · · Score: 2

    I would NEVER be in favor of online voting. It's too easy to hack the system, no matter how much security you put in place. Yes, paper ballots can be forged, but, there is a PAPER TRAIL. I do not like the argument that "it allows for greater participation" because it makes it easier to vote. Listen Jack...voting is a precious RIGHT. Get up off your lazy bum a** and vote.

  23. Don't buy it! on North Korea Agrees To Suspend Nuclear Activities · · Score: 1

    And when the food is gone, they will start up their illegal activity....and we'll give them more food to stop, which they will use up and start the cycle again.
