  1. Re:Double Duty? on Electricity From Salty Water · · Score: 1

    Which proves that thermodynamics, as cool as it is, sucks balls.

  2. Re:What will the control group be? on Want to Eat Chocolate Every Day For a Year? · · Score: 1

    the other components (lots of fat and sugar) are in general rather unhealthy

    If you avoid fats and sugars, you must have some weird-ass diet.

  3. Re:Badass on Early Abort of Ares I Rocket Would Kill Crew · · Score: 0, Troll

    That's the plan. They do the launch, if it goes wrong they turn the footage into a movie. If it goes right they stage a 'live' launch and broadcast the recordings.

  4. Re:That explains it... on Creativity Potentially Linked To Schizophrenia · · Score: 1

    I think a lot of people have conversations with imaginary personalities in their heads.

    Sure do. Not really different personalities, but

    • thinking the way smeagol talks (referring to myself as we) and
    • answering my own thoughts: -Hey, she's got the hots for me.. -No! This is nowhere near enough evidence, you're just making stuff up
  5. Why not? on Canadians Find Traffic Shaping "Reasonable" · · Score: 1

    Bell Canada executives revealed that the company "slows certain types of downloads [P2P] to as little as 1.5 to 3 per cent of their advertised speed during 9-1/2 hours of the day

    Hey, that's fine by me. Force people to download when it won't affect other people. It's either that or pay a small fortune for a service with guaranteed bandwidth.

  6. Re:Ironkey also supports Linux! on IronKey Unveils Self-Destructing USB Flash Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since I don't have any copies of that software, it pretty much doubles the cost of the drive

    Go to a cybercafe?

  7. Amygdala on Swearing Provides Pain Relief, Say Scientists · · Score: 1

    the amygdala, an almond-shaped group of neurons that can trigger a fight-or-flight response in which our heart rate climbs and we become less sensitive to pain

    It also happens to look like something out of Dragonball

  8. Re:Oblig. wiki-link on Memristor Minds, the Future of Artificial Intelligence · · Score: 1

    This is Slashdot. I think we should assume people are capable of locating Wikipedia on their own

    This is slashdot. I think we should assume people are too lazy to search wikipedia (even with a shortcut), let alone RTFA.

  9. Re:Global warming? on Researchers Enable Mice To Exhale Fat · · Score: 1

    The CO2 from your breath is not the problem. The CO2 from your tailpipe is

    I read this and started wondering at what point CO2 comes out of one's ass...

    Your tailpipe is different. The hydrocarbons you're burning come from fossil fuels

    fossil fuels!? Oh. Cars.

  10. Re:I can't believe it's not butter! on Human Sperm Produced In the Laboratory · · Score: 1

    Sperm is packed with mitochondria near the tail, they just don't pass on to the... thing that turns into a baby.

  11. Re:I smell venture capital PR on Gaze-Tracking Software Protects Computer Privacy · · Score: 1

    Read the part where it shows random text everywhere else. It's probably just meant to buy you time to tell any shoulder-surfers to fuck off.

  12. Re:Some things... on Why Amazon's Kindle Should Use Open Standards · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm not fat and I can bench nearly 300lbs

    [citation needed]

    So you can shove your fat american stereotypes up your starving little third world ass.

    I hope you were shooting for sarcasm

  13. Re:Can a programmer please write a google map to t on Space Station Marathon Starting This Weekend · · Score: 1

    Just use Heavens above.

  14. Re:Hopefully it will cut down on affiliate-link sp on Rhode Island Affiliates Banned From Amazon.com Sales · · Score: 1

    Thing is, the internet isn't like a pipeline, it's more like a series of (sewage) tubes.

  15. Re:Hopefully it will cut down on affiliate-link sp on Rhode Island Affiliates Banned From Amazon.com Sales · · Score: 1

    True, darned thing gets stuck in the tubes.

  16. Re:I don't have anything really smart to say on Doctors Baffled, Intrigued By Girl Who Doesn't Age · · Score: 1

    Well, it's a bit more involved than that. But being inmortal is probably not evolutionarily advantageous. (sp?)

  17. Re:What's PC now? on DNA Suggests Three Basic Human Groups · · Score: 1

    This isn't 1950 any more. There are no government agencies, statutes, policies, practices, or preferences that put a given DNA group at a disadvantage. Well, except white firefighters, apparently. And certain school applicants. This isn't about minorities, since there's no such thing in any meaningful way. Hey, I'm only one of two "white" guys in my entire neighborhood. If minorities do exist, then I'm one of them. How does it help to say so? It doesn't make a bit of difference. My neighbors are either great people or asshats, based on how they conduct themselves, just like in any neighborhood. The only difference is that if I went to my local county to apply for subsidized housing in my current neighborhood, they would treat me better - by policy - if weren't lilly white. Funny, but true.

    Bah, guess you're right, you're talking about affirmative action. It does make more sense to look into racism and discrimination (in all its forms) rather than just say "black and latin people get privileges".

  18. Re:Too many possible factors on How To Get Out of Developer's Block? · · Score: 1

    interruptions

    Jeez, what do you think this is, 1995? We're past the days of fiddling with IRQs in the BIOS

  19. Re:What's PC now? on DNA Suggests Three Basic Human Groups · · Score: 1

    There sure is. Just ask the guys who made the mistake of being the wrong color when they passed the New Haven fire department's promotion test.

    Sure, that sucks balls. But going from that to "minorities don't exist" is a stretch.

  20. Re:What's PC now? on DNA Suggests Three Basic Human Groups · · Score: 1

    Right, there is no such thing as discrimination in current society.

  21. Re:Anonymous Coward on OLPC Fork Sugar On a Stick Goes 1.0 · · Score: 1

    That's the point, the USB stick comes coated in sugar. To feed them until they can get their 419 business going.

  22. Re:NSFW on Hitler's Stealth Fighter · · Score: 4, Funny

    what with swastika flags and all. I'll be in trouble if someone has overseen my screen just then, being a german living in Britain.

    Speaking of which (and paraphrasing The Extras), where did these people get those huge swastikas?

  23. Re:australia is real on Mass Arrests of Journalists Follow Iran Elections · · Score: 1

    its where arnold schwarzenegger and freud and hitler and the sound music are from... its just below germany

    No you dumbass, that's austriala

  24. Re:Speaking of Astroturfing on Sothink Violated the FlashGot GPL and Stole Code · · Score: 1

    If you steal some Microsoft code, you have stolen from an immensely wealthy corporation who probably can't be hurt by the theft. If you steal from open source, you have stolen from humanity

    Depends. If you don't modify or improve your "stolen" code in any way, you can't argue you've harmed the developer in any way. You've merely disrespected his right to control the distribution of his creative output (i.e. copyright)

  25. Re:Weiss is borderline crazy on Kilometer-High Waves Flow In Saturn's Rings · · Score: 1

    So I either believe you, and this Weiss guy is a regular person, or I believe him, and he's (you're) an excentric who replaces words randomly.
    Yeah, I'll stick with the funny version. I suggest you do too.
