  1. Bye-Bye Java on Court: Oracle Entitled To Copyright Protection Over Some Parts of Java · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ... and good riddance to bad rubbish, say I.

  2. Re:Getting attention at the expense of 3D printing on Cody Wilson Interview at Reason: Happiness Is a 3D Printed Gun · · Score: 1

    ...only illegal if the INTENT at the TIME OF CREATION...

    You mean, like, 6000 years ago?

  3. Re:Let it die on How Cochlear Implants Are Being Blamed For Killing Deaf Culture · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Not to forget how modern antibiotics is killing leper culture!

  4. Re:Here's the key phrase on Hacking Charisma · · Score: 1

    You mean: she stares at the camera?

  5. Re:The real benefit is ... on Stanford Bioengineer Develops a 50-cent Paper Microscope · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but if you have corrective lenses, then you can see the malaria coming and get out of the way!

  6. Re:Strava heat map on Data Visualization: Key Routes and Communities In London's Bike Rental Network · · Score: 1

    Maybe they are not so commonly stupid (or self-absorbed) as to post their bike trips on the inter-webs.

  7. Re:Mental handcuffs on Sochi Drones Are Shooting the Olympics, Not Terrorists · · Score: 1

    Well, in the military sense, a drone was just a towed (unmanned) target to be blasted away for practice.

    The current actions are just the drone` revenge!

  8. Huh on Obama To Ask For $1 Billion Climate Change Fund · · Score: 1

    Why does he want to change the climate? It was good enough for my father, it's good enough for me!

  9. Re:Hooray for common sense on House Committee Approves Bill Banning In-Flight Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    All I can add is: Thank You.

  10. Taking a semi-tropical place and turning it into an expensive, barely working winter wonderland is a very stupid idea. Implementing it is even stupider.

  11. At Walnut Creek? on Slashdot PT Cruiser Spotted In the Wild · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, is it used to cart CD-ROMs around?

  12. Re:Tiger nuts? Not meat? on Extinct Species of Early Human Survived On Grass Bulbs, Not Meat · · Score: 1

    Here's a picture of them.

  13. Re:Mostly meaningless on Credo Mobile Releases Industry's First Transparency Report · · Score: 1

    I don't necessarily disagree, but I do wonder why the government felt the need to make requests directly to CREDO.

  14. Hack the system with an algorithm that kills the deployers, of course!

  15. Re:Poor Han on Iowa State AIDS Researcher Admits To Falsifying Findings · · Score: 1

    He will, however, be the darling of pharmaceutical and private medical clinics for his research methodologies.

  16. Right on Huge Pool of Ice-Free Water Discovered Under Greenland Ice · · Score: 2

    Sorta like the bulk of the oceans remain liquid under the ice that forms in the northern oceans.

  17. Re:The Solution is Obvious on Microsoft's Ticking Time Bomb Is Windows XP · · Score: 1

    FTFS:

    Pingree has a suggestion for Microsoft. ""If it's such a big problem, maybe they should offer an 'Extended Life' [support] subscription and charge for it.""

  18. Re:First... on Microsoft's Ticking Time Bomb Is Windows XP · · Score: 1

    The only decent spiced rum I've found (for sale) has been that produced on Saba. They also put it in used bottles, so there's no real labelling. Hence, I suspect that it will never be available elsewhere :(

  19. Healthiness on Healthcare IT's Achilles' Heel: Sensors · · Score: 1

    'Despite the hype about data's ability to improve peoples' health.'

    Healthiness, here's how:

    Eat real food (mostly vegetables and meat/dairy. Not too much grain. Not too much in all).

    Get plenty on outdoor activity.

    Drink moderate amounts of alcoholic beverages (about 1.5 - 2 times the "recommended levels").

    Don't smoke.

    Have an engaging and intellectually challenging hobby.

    Brush your teeth.

    Do fun things.

  20. Re:Tough luck.. on Thieves Who Stole Cobalt-60 Will Soon Be Dead · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but as they beat people (the truck drivers, in this case) in order to carry out the theft, I have lost any sympathy that I might have had.

  21. Re:Arthur C Clarke strikes again! on Is Europa Too Prickly To Land On? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nuke the landing site from orbit! Next problem?

  22. Re:Why does positive thinking work? on Gene Variant Can Cause Nattering Nabobs of Negativity · · Score: 1

    ... for some perverse definition of progress :(

  23. Re:"miniscule" on Team Oracle Penalized For America's Cup Rules Violations · · Score: 1

    ... and (what's really shocking) penalized!

  24. Re:The book is written by math enthusiasts. on Ohio State Introduces Massive Open Online Calculus · · Score: 1

    ...; it's not really helpful in a general way.

    This also covers all sports, almost all games, pretty well all art, music, and literature, and just relaxing in the sun.

    Personally, I only do the "helpful" stuff as a means to be able to do the important stuff.

  25. Re:Would not have expected? on Members of Parliament Demand Explanation For Detention of David Miranda · · Score: 1

    '...and demanded justification for the incident from the police.'

    It should be noted that the law, as passed by Parliament, explicitly does not require any grounds or reasonable suspicion for detention.

    Hence: no justification is required and any "justification" (no matter how silly) will do.

    So, for Parliament to demand anything is both hypocritical and mere posturing.
