    Yes, yes, oh my God yes!

  2. Re:no good on Terabit Ethernet Inches Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    So would your wife.

    You just blew my mind. I fucking love you.

    Well then feed it to a rat and get your ass to Mars.

  5. Re:Whew, that's a relief. on Court Rules Autism Not Caused By Childhood Vaccine · · Score: 1

    Didn't Wakefield try and patent a yearly, single-use vaccine before leading the scientifically-flawed study that would call into question the joint MMR vaccine? I'd say that's a glaring conflict of interest right there.

  6. Re:Vaccinations harm people on Court Rules Autism Not Caused By Childhood Vaccine · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A study of 10,000 non-Amish people found that none of those people had seizures after the vaccine. To me that is all the evidence I need right there.

  7. Re:Inevitable tags for this story on Court Rules Autism Not Caused By Childhood Vaccine · · Score: 1

    Except all of the 'non-serious' tags that were festooning this story 5 minutes ago have been 'disappeared'. What's up with the tag-slaying lately?

  8. Re:this geek is clearly breaking the rules... on Man Robs Convenience Stores With Klingon "Batleth" · · Score: 1

    Actually, criminals are quite popular with the ladies - even serial killers have loads of female fans. This geek's chances of scoring just went up a sizeable amount (of course, capture and incarceration damages those chances considerably, unless the 'scoring' is an all male affair).

  9. Re:nVidia is doomed. on Ion Platform For Atom Tested With Games, HD Video · · Score: 3, Funny

    and that's going to leave nVidia for what?

    Asking for a bailout?

    I wish I could have a girlfriend like you do.

  11. Boycott on In Finland, Nokia May Get Its Own Snooping Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My mobile phone is due for an upgrade. It looks like Nokia join Sony-Ericcson on the blacklist; they can all get fucked. I guess it's a Samsung this time. If only all the 13 year old girls sending a million texts a month and those jackasses constantly yakking into their mobiles actually cared about corporate ethics, then such a boycott may actually be meaningful.

  12. Is this really new? on Scientists "Teleport" Quantum Information One Meter · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I watched a BBC documentary 'Visions of the Future' online a couple of days ago, and a team in Vienna had already teleported information between photons years ago. See here, about 50 minutes in. (I recommend watching all three programmes, it's an interesting documentary). The professor in the video states that the record stands at 600 metres. I'm no physicist, so could someone explain what is so different about what has been achieved in the article? Is the difference between teleporting information between photons and atoms so distinct?

  13. Re:Substantial Threat to Society? on Confessed Botnet Master Is a Security Professional · · Score: 1

    Ah, the old nippleless female human. A rare specimen, or so I've heard.

    First they came for those whose phones did not click when taking a picture, and I did not speak up because I did not own a phone that did not click when taking a picture.

    It's from Dream Cheeky, a company that seems to specialise in USB-powered anything...

  18. Re:Note the distinction on First Human Embryonic Stem Cell Study Approved · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but is not refusing to not answer not the same thing as not being not sure?

  19. Re:Political BS on First Human Embryonic Stem Cell Study Approved · · Score: 1

    But the statement the AC originally claimed was a 'bullshit political jab' explicitly referred to federal funding. So, like the GP, I have to ask how exactly is it bullshit to say that scientists expect the Obama administration to release federal funding for new cell lines? Is that such an outlandish assertion? I'm genuinely curious.

  20. Small version on DIY LED Array Marquee For Your PC · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My boss gave me a USB-powered LED screen as a Christmas present, aimed as one of those endless throwaway novelty USB gadgets (other one was a whack-a-mole game. It's far smaller than the one in TFA though, about the size of a pack of smokes. Still, it scrolls text and displays bitmaps pretty niftily. The font and configuration files are stored in plain text (the scroll speed was a fun one to tweak) so the option for even-triggered (e.g. server in trouble) scripting is there.

    Granted, there's no geek cred from building it yourself, but at least the soft aspect is similar. Now if only there support calls would stop coming in so fast that I had time to play with the thing...

    Yeah, but that's completely different. With computers, there's no risk of crashing and causing endless pain and suffering to you and others around you.

    "No".

  24. Slashdot on The Ouroborus · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You aren't Digg. Stop trying to be. You are better than that. Slashdot does not need colour-coded, user-rated stories that you 'digg up' and 'bury' and, above all, does not need single image 'stories' for people to LOL over. Have some dignity.

  25. Re:Free Speech on Collateral Damage as UK Censors Internet Archive · · Score: 1

    Out of interest, what law would you specifically be breaking if you yell fire in a crowded theatre when it isn't actually on fire? Public endangerment or something along those lines?
