  1. I've heard it said, that on The Obesity Epidemic — Is Medicine Scientific? · · Score: 1

    "A waist is a terrible thing to mind."

    One of the /. quotes at the bottom of the page, IIRC.

  2. Rational Choice Theory on How Much is Your Right to Vote Worth? · · Score: 1

    It might be wise to take the million. There is an argument out there for non-voting being the rational decision. Please see Rational Choice Theory.

  3. donttagmebro on Half a Million Database Servers 'Have no Firewall' · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yes, off-topic but... whoever keeps tagging this stories with a variation of "don't tase me bro," cut it out! What's it going to be for this story? Don't expose me bro?

  4. Re:that's awesome on Russia Honors the Spy Who Stole the A-Bomb · · Score: 1

    They killed civilians to show off their military capabilities. By this time everyone knew that strategic bombing did not work. They did not have, nor did they think they'd have, extra nukes to 'soften up' to beach heads ahead of an assault.

  5. YouTube Link on Multitouch Without Touch Using Wiimote · · Score: 3, Informative
  6. Who would have thought... on Multitouch Without Touch Using Wiimote · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That we'd get our first glimpse of those cool minority report interfaces from a game console. I always figured it would be thanks to porn.

  7. pfft on Predator-Style Helmets Allow Pilots to See Through Planes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Jerks have been using these things in first person shooters for years.

  8. exciting on Brain Regions Responsible for Optimism Located · · Score: -1, Redundant

    How exciting! Things are looking up!

  9. Re:CmdrTaco's in the basement mixing up the medici on Subterranean Slashdot Email Blues · · Score: 1

    Well done! Who are you?

  10. CmdrTaco's in the basement mixing up the medicine on Subterranean Slashdot Email Blues · · Score: 5, Funny

    KDawson's on the Pavement, posting about the government. CowboyNeal's in the trench coat, poll out, laid off

  11. twilight zone on IU's Choice of Search Engine ChaCha "Explained" · · Score: 2, Informative

    I ran a search for "serving ferrets", when asked if I needed feeding them, I responded with "not so much" and had my session ended by the ChaCha Guide almost instantly.

  12. I for one... on New Telescope Array Goes Live For SETI · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...welcome our new alien overlords.

    It's so nice when that meme fits without having to be stretched. This certainly is exciting news (about the telescopes too).

  13. Percentage revealed on Google To Monetize Content From Consenting YouTubers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A certain percent is split with the video's creator(s). What percentage? Zero!

  14. Re:acronyms on MS's Hilf Named Windows Server Marketer · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe this T-shirt could shed some light on it.

  15. We are one step closer... on Virtual Robots Fooled By Visual Illusions · · Score: 5, Funny

    to being able to upset them with goatse. Maybe that is what starts the robot uprising...

  16. Re:Damn... 1 Messy Alley on Klingons to Take on Furries in Bowling Match · · Score: 1

    Have you ever tried to get a Klingon off...

    No.

  17. Re:So that means... on MMO Bans Men Playing As Women · · Score: 4, Funny

    What is to stop a guy that plays a female character in RPGs from just getting his girlfriend or wife from helping?

    I'd think that playing female characters in RPGs would be a good enough deterrent.

  18. I wouldn't say... on Academics Speak On 'Life After World Of Warcraft' · · Score: 0, Troll

    That it captured the imagination of anyone. It has certainly attracted the interest of bunch of players, but the game is not imagination-grabbing by any stretch of the... oh you know.

  19. I go to school down the street from Full Sail... on What Are the Advantages/Disadvantages of Game Schools? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I attend UCF, about 5 miles up the road. We're one of the biggest universities in the country, so we really dwarf Full Sail, but the proximity affords us a nice bunch of gamers to pick on for the local LAN centers. "Stick to making these things," is effective trash-talk.

  20. why did it have to be... on Realtime ASCII Goggles · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...Moscow? Moderators, set your phasers to redundant.

  21. Star Wars winning out over Star Trek on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: 1

    The OV-101 'Enterprise' was orginally set to be named 'Constitution' but fans of Star Trek convinced the powers that be to use another name. Bringing a Star Wars artifact up is a sin! They should be bringing some Trek relic, like one of those old Klingon disruptors, or Michael Dorn.

  22. Re:Can't it be both? on New York Taxi Drivers To Strike Over GPS · · Score: 1

    How is it invading a cabbie's privacy to know where he is when he's at work?

    I was not trying to make the arguement for the drivers' right to privacy at work here, I was merely pointing out that it could be both an aid and an invasion. That said, it is invading on his privacy at work.

  23. Can't it be both? on New York Taxi Drivers To Strike Over GPS · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "The TLC claims that the technology will not be used to invade drivers' privacy but will provide real-time maps and help passengers recover lost property." While it may provide real-time maps and help passengers recover lost property, none of that means that it will not be used to invade drivers' privacy.

  24. taking all bets... on Another Way To Erase Memories · · Score: 1

    ...on how long it takes for this article to hit the main page again.

  25. As a UCF Student... on Bad Movie Physics Hurt Scientific Understanding · · Score: 1

    The University offers a course titled "the physics of super heroes." I have not taken it, but as I understand it the class is setup to teach non-science majors some physics basics (that they somehow missed in grade school). A lot of people seem to really enjoy it.
