  1. There are NO safe reactors. NONE on Congressmen Pushing To Reopen Yucca Mountain · · Score: 0

    As Fukushima showed, "safe" nuclear power is myth and a lie.

  2. TEPCO's press release said same about Fukushima on Congressmen Pushing To Reopen Yucca Mountain · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why should I believe this assurance of safety when the Nuclear Industry's track record shows they ALWAYS lie about safety and potential risks. ALWAYS.

  3. You have Sarah Palin's mind for science on Congressmen Pushing To Reopen Yucca Mountain · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Religious extremists should not be allowed near discussions of science policy.

  4. Can't forget Bill Gates didn't finish college on Bill Gates On Energy · · Score: 0, Troll

    Bill Gates is smart and has a whole lot of field-specific knowledge about PCs. He's not well educated outside his field.

    Let's let the let the guys with the PhDs in science, math, and engineering figure out energy policy.

  5. Repost of $99 per kid license sales brochure on Why Johnny Can't Code and How That Can Change · · Score: 1

    This is not a story. This is the 2nd time in week this 99$ per kid sales promotion has been posted here.

  6. Ladies tell guys... on Human Eye Protein Senses Earth's Magnetism · · Score: 1

    ..to use their eyes to look at a map, and see if they can sense what way is north now?

  7. Computerized flight controls. on An Entirely New Class of Aircraft Arrives · · Score: 1

    Great if you have error-free computer system to run it on. Not so good if you do not.
    Mid flight rebooting not a good idea.
    Looks like it unpowered, it'll fly like bricked i-phone

  8. Steven Harper arrested 900 in Toronto at G20 on Using Crowdsourcing To Identify Vancouver Rioters · · Score: 1

    Largest mass arrest in Canadian history at the Toronto G20 is good place to look for a reason.

    More bystanders arrested by police than protesters.

  9. Steven Harper-ordered Toronto G20 police abuse on Using Crowdsourcing To Identify Vancouver Rioters · · Score: 1

    Better remind yourself what Canadian PM Harper did to Toronto when the G20 was there.

    G20 arrests surpass 900, making Toronto site of largest mass arrests in Canadian history

    The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has denounced the sweeping arrests made by police at the G20 protests in Toronto.

    More than 500 people have been taken into police custody.

    In a statement on its Web site, the CCLA said today (June 27) it appears that "the presumption of innocence has been suspended during the G20".

  10. Looking at Spideroak right now on Open Source Alternative To Dropbox? · · Score: 1

    On first glance, it looks like what the original request is looking for. Thanks for sweet utility site tip, water and sewer ;)
    Someone give the Spideroak tip some karma.

  11. Maybe cheating bastard staff at CCP Games thang on EVE Online Targeted By LulzSec · · Score: 1

    Remember...some cheating bastard staff at CCP Games both referred and played Eve Online for a LONG time

    Took such advantage of their positions as both staff referees and skewed results so badly one can reasonably suggest the game was irreparably broken by them.

  12. You rationalize away child molestation... on Terry Pratchett Considers Assisted Suicide · · Score: 1

    ..you lose your Good Shepherd credentials.

  13. Agent Sheets 3: $99 per licence per kid !?! on Programming Is Heading Back To School · · Score: 2

    My dear old great-grandmother had this saying from the old country. It went something like this..
    "$99 bucks per license per kid. Go Fuck Yourself!"

    I had a cool great grandmother. Like she said, this is exact reason charter schools and privatization of public schools is nothing but legalization of theft of public property.

  14. Until the general strikes begin on First Challenge To US Domain Seizures Filed · · Score: 1

    They are not that far off at this rate.

  15. Just dump your US domains. on First Challenge To US Domain Seizures Filed · · Score: 1

    All those domains that do not end in .com work just peachy.

  16. also great opportunity in anti-virus near you apps on Adobe's CTO Pitches 'Apps Near You' Concept · · Score: 1

    :)

  17. Leicester, use Olympic plan for US Tea Baggers. on English City Council "Not Ready" for Zombie Attack · · Score: 1

    Leicester can just use the plans they came up for the coming Olympics for dealing with visiting American Tea Party dignitaries.

    Not enough difference between zombies to tea baggers to bother with the extra expense. Close enough for government work, anyway.

  18. Researchers see results & wave over collegues. on Using Averages To Bend the Uncertainty Principle · · Score: 1

    ...to see the results themselves, and blow the whole experiment.

  19. Once Bitten, Twice Shy on AC/DC Music Attracts Great White Sharks · · Score: 1

    My, my, my

  20. How many Federal laws did HB Gary break there? on NATO Report Threatens To 'Persecute' Anonymous · · Score: 1

    How many US Federal felonies counts should HB Gary personnel be getting charged with in that incident? 12-13?

  21. In Soviet Tokyo... on The Next Phase of Intelligent TVs Will Observe You · · Score: 4, Funny

    TV watches you. ;)

  22. Fire Comcast! on Ask Slashdot: Are You Streaming-Only For Home Entertainment? · · Score: 1

    Lots of other options out there for internet service. Comcast provides zero tech innovation. They only repackage what they buy from others, and charge you triple for it.

  23. Re:Reagan saved us from the godless metricians on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget communism.

    The metric system is clearly communism.

  24. Fire Comcast! on Comcast's 105MBit Service Comes With Data Cap · · Score: 1

    Be honest. What are you spending hundreds of dollars a month on Comcast that you couldn't get for a fraction of the cost somewhere else.
    Comcast is raping it's customers, and don't even add anything to the service. There no technical innovation at Comcast whatsoever. All Comcast brings to the table is a few NHL and NBA teams games. That's it.

    Comcast is nothing but legalize theft from consumers.

  25. Re:It's the NUKE CODES! on FBI Releases Document Confirming Roswell UFO · · Score: 1

    Which leaves me wondering if this is a distraction from attempts people are making to research what happened at Building 7 of the World Trade Center?
