  1. Re:What was it? on Text Message Brands Quebec Man a Terror Suspect · · Score: 5, Informative

    Considering this story was about Canada, you must be really paranoid!

  2. What kind of algorithm ... on How Face Recognition Can Uncover SSNs · · Score: 1

    did they use to get past all the duckface and tongue hanging out pictures?

  3. Cyber temper tantrum on PBS Web Sites and Databases Hacked · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Say what we like or we'll stamp our feet and hack your site! What happened to freedom of information? Or is it just WikiLeaks approved information?

  4. What about wind? on A New Human-Seeking Drone, Much Cheaper Than a Predator · · Score: 1

    How high do wind speeds have to be to make this thing ineffective?

  5. What's new? on Doctors Are Creating Too Many Patients · · Score: 1

    Chiropractors have been doing this for years. Hang on - I think one of my legs is longer than the other!

  6. What we have to look forward to on Draft Proposal Would Create Agency To Tax Cars By the Mile · · Score: 1
  7. Re:kind of like the police on The Internet's New Alternate Reality · · Score: 1

    You are right - I believe beaten wife syndrome is covered in Leviticus, if I'm not mistaken. And you might want to look up hermaphrodite in the dictionary. Relax - I don't care about your atheism, you shouldn't worry about my beliefs.

  8. Re:Did more for Democracy in the Arab World on Julian Assange To Be Extradited To Sweden · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute - I thought it was the Twitter Revolution!?!

    Now I'm all confused.

  9. Re:Lunar Lander on X Prize $30 Million Robot Race To the Moon Is On · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should ask Buzz Aldrin about it. Be sure to duck after you do - he throws a mean punch!

  10. Re:typo on Wikileaks Booted From Amazon · · Score: 1

    Instead of pissing and moaning on a web forum, how about this:

    If you are a US citizen, vote, protest, write your elected officials, or run for office.

    If you are not a US citizen, get your own house in order before complaining about anyone else.

    In either case, you sound like a little kid that teases a chained up watch dog - nothing will happen to you, but it makes you feel like a tough guy.

  11. Re:I expect more of /. :( on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    I am not sure which Slashdot you have been reading, but like every other public forum on the internet it is full of conspiracy nutjobs. Any story that involves the US, politics or the military draws them like flies from both sides. Why consider simple coincidence as an explanation when a complex conspiracy theory will do instead? Just think of all the time and brainpower wasted coming up with a lot of this crap. The internet has turned into an international soapbox for nutcases, little more than a rumor mill.

    But, that's enough of my yackin' --- let's boogie!

  12. Oh feldercarb!!! on BSG Prequel Series Caprica Canceled · · Score: 1

    Now we won't get to hear frak used in every other sentence. So much for it making the OED.

  13. Re:Warm River Cave on West Virginia Is Geothermically Active · · Score: 1

    What rapier wit! I'll bet if Shakespeare were still alive, he would be working that one into his next play. Bravo!

  14. Re:Elementary my dear Watson on FBI Prioritizes Copyright Over Missing Persons · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute - I thought the Bush family was part of the race of lizard people that is ruling the world. Now I am so confused!

  15. Conspiracy! on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 1

    For a group that jumps all over people that have religious beliefs that can't be proven, you guys are ready to believe any wild theory about Republicans "stealing" elections at the drop of a hat. As one of your favorite PACs puts it: Move on!

  16. A better experiment on Experiment Cuts Off Online Junkies from Internet · · Score: 1

    Deprive people of cell phones for 14 days. Thousands of glassy eyed people, shuffling around mumbling "Where you at?" to themselves would be rather disturbing.

  17. Re:Of course.. on Patriot Act Used to Enforce Copyright Law? · · Score: 1

    Envy? No, they would just have you shot. Big difference between that and a court case.

  18. And eye surgeons on Phone As Your Next Computer? · · Score: 1

    will reap tremendous profits as millions of eyeballs pop out trying to read those tiny little screens.

  19. Re:Just like you.... on Best Results From Bartering Computer Services? · · Score: 1

    Wow - what a scam! You effectively get nothing of real value, and he gets free computer work and the chance to screw the insurance company! I'll tell you what - I'll do your astrological chart in exchange for you cleaning out my gutters. Deal?

  20. Re:Benefits. on Best Results From Bartering Computer Services? · · Score: 1

    Ho ho. Get some new jokes - and a life.

  21. Re:The reason why proportional voting is bad. on LUG Pres Resigns Over Military Linux Use · · Score: 1

    This is why the Senate has 2 members per state.

    Which was to entice the slave-holding states to join the Union. Not a ringing endorsement.


    Do a Google search for the Great Compromise or the Connecticut Compromise, and then try again. The conflict was between big and small states, not slave holding and non-slave holding states.

  22. Re:Clear Channel on 2004 Jefferson Muzzle Awards · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How has Howard Stern's right to free speech been violated? He can grab a soapbox and say whatever he likes. Clear Channel is not required to carry anything they don't want to.

  23. Re:If it's not acceptable to say in the office -- on FCC to Regulate 'Profane' Speech · · Score: 1

    Wow - a pretty big jump from getting tired of foul mouthed TV to reinstituting slavery.

    I would suppose that in your ideal world, the minority of people who are murderers should be allowed to kill at will. Cannibals are a minority... lets supply human flesh at the grocery store.

    Do you see where I am going with this?

  24. Re:We need Mars on O'Keefe Under Fire for Hubble, ISS Decisions · · Score: 1

    Party politics does indeed matter. In whose state the science will be done or equipment will be built has a lot to do with what gets funded.

  25. RC = Radio controlled? on World's Smallest Homebrew RC Unit · · Score: 1

    Where is the radio?
