  1. Re:The story title is wrong ... on Swine Flu Kills Obese People Disproportionately · · Score: 2, Funny

    It takes no more 5 minutes to do 30 pushups and 60 crunches -

    Damn...it's taken me over 40 years to manage that many!

  2. Citation needed.... on How Heavy Is a Petabyte? · · Score: 1
  3. Re:I'm anal (and not in the fun way) so... on Bing Gets Porn Domain To Filter Explicit Content · · Score: 1

    BDSM? Isn't that some kinda operating system...?

  4. Turns out on Japanese Astronaut Tests Stink-Free Underwear · · Score: 1

    Turns out Idle is pants after all.

  5. Re:neodarwinism on Darwinism Must Die So Evolution Can Live · · Score: 1
    You conflate maths and physics with experience and conciousness.

    Differential equations describe or model. They do not govern.

    Saying the outward behaviours of organisms are governed by amazingly complicated differential equations is a nonsense.

    Having two oranges and getting two more means you have four oranges. Maths does not govern this, it's just a fact. Differential equations do not govern anything, just reflect reality.

    Conciousness is. Maths don't make it so.

  6. Re:TV Shows on UK Proposes Broadband Expansion, Plus a Music and Film Tax · · Score: 1

    And how about a cut for the pornographers? We all know they do a great job and should be rewarded by everyone with a broadband connection.

  7. Re:Uncle Sam wants YOU to use P2P!!! on Dutch Study Says Filesharing Has Positive Economic Effects · · Score: 1
    Interesting.

    I go out of my way to steal. I also like to indulge in petty vandalism, drop litter, speed while over the limit, burn stuff and shoot at passing helicopters and planes. My motives are purely humanitarian; my actions keep people employed and help stimulate the economy.

    On the strength of this article and your post I'll be downloading with the best of them and I'm thinking of a career change. The City seems like a sector where I could really do some good for others.

  8. Re:Do I mind if the government keeps my DNA on fil on Human Rights Court Calls UK DNA Database a 'Breach of Rights' · · Score: 1

    People who wear glasses? PEOPLE who wear GLASSES?! Specky little bastards; make me sick!

  9. Re:Neuroscience, creativity and the brain on Pinpointing Creativity In the Brain · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the link to Windows Task Manager there. I can't believe I've been hanging out on /. for so many years and no one's mentioned it before! Such a wonderful resource, how did I ever cope with out it before?

    In the spirit of reciprocation; did you know Windows comes with a built in Calculator. Marvelous stuff.

    You can access it by clicking on that Start do-hicky and erm...Programmes and...well you sound like an intellegent sort of guy, you'll find it.

    Why is a duck?

    Because one of it's legs is exactly the same of course!

    Sheesh! It's not rocket surgery!

  11. Re:No they didn't on Geoengineering To Cool the Earth Becoming Thinkable · · Score: 1

    No article can erase the memory of the people watching their televisions during the 70s and early 80s.

    No but two decades sat in front of the box will probably do it!

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

    They make tuna safe for dolphins now? Blimey, the seas are more toxic than I thought.
    I can't believe people take it out of the mouths of the poor, poor dolphin. They should issue them with lasers.

  13. Re:"Has Google Redefined Beta?" on Has Google Redefined Beta? · · Score: 1

    Quick, everybody add the tag; (tagging beta)

  14. How about and error message with... on The Thirteen Greatest Error Messages of All Time · · Score: 1
    ...no message; just a small dialogue with two buttons:

    |[Yes] [No]|

    Can't remember the context. Wish I'd got a screen shot.

    I'm going to slashdot hell for this but as you mentioned WGA, here's my contribution to the party:

    Photoshopped Error message for WGA and Photoshop

    Note to self: Slashdot is not fark

  16. Re:does he own in? on Computer With UK Bank Customer Data Sold On eBay · · Score: 1

    would. :-)

  17. Re:Well, you gotta hand it to the guy... on 8 People Buy "I Am Rich" iPhone App For $1,000 · · Score: 1

    I don't get it...what has a political view on the state and individuality or something along those lines got to do with a clear business motive to appear professional and able to provide quality products at reasonable prices? I think the app is genius and applaud this guys acumen but if I was running apple I'd yank it.

  18. Re:Value of online adversing on New Search Engine Cuil Takes Aim At Google · · Score: 1

    I'd be more interested in how much income a link in a slashdot post makes.

  19. Re:As long as the onus is on them to prove you did on Big Six UK ISPs Capitulate To Music Industry · · Score: 1

    But they will pay for it in the end wont they? If they can't get it for free over the internet they'll pay £1 to £3 at a car boot sale or from Dodgy Eric from down the estate. That just pays those that have no legitimate claim over the money and is no real solution is it?

    The one thing I don't hear from all this is what are they going to do to get the generation brought up on free music, interested in a legal way to get music at a sensible price, unencumbered by DRM? You don't make 'em want what you've got to sell by bashing them over the head.

    It's all stick and no carrot.

  20. Re:As someone who has Vista Ultimate on No XP Reprieve; Windows 7 Release Set · · Score: 1

    why would you read Slashdot unless you were a hardcore geek? For the 'you must be new here' jokes, 'suddenoutbreakofcommonsense' tags, having my outraged indignation at the RIAA's behaviour confirmed and general Microsoft bashing...You insensitive clod!
  21. Re:Those seven words... on George Carlin Dead of Heart Failure · · Score: 1

    But she's great in the sack!

  22. Re:Linux has been business-desktop ready for years on Microsoft Free, One Year Later · · Score: 1

    While we are on the subject; Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel and ImgBurn will both work off a pendrive. Lovely.

  23. Re:Totally geeky on goosh, the Unofficial Google Shell · · Score: 2, Informative

    I use "search for text when I start typing" as default. Lets me surf with minimal use of the mouse, capturing all keyboard input as search would break that for me.

  24. Re:Maps of human travel on earth on Ancestry Surprises From New Genetics Analysis Method · · Score: 1

    I was looking for those maps sometime ago and couldn't find them. I did find this though which I found interesting: National Geographic
