  1. Re:The most important lesson in life being taught on Florida Thinks Their Students Are Too Stupid To Know the Right Answers · · Score: 1

    Just as many spit at your twisted sense of humanity.

  2. Re:The interesting thing on Scientific Cruise Meets Perfect Storm, Inspires Extreme Wave Research · · Score: 2

    Ever heard of "confirmation bias"? Myths very rarely indeed end up being "scientific fact".

  3. Re:God, westerners are so iggernant. on Iraq Emerges From Isolation As Telecommunications Hub · · Score: 1

    Replace the blood-drinking with just being around it, and there you go.

  4. Re:The most successful storage mediums of all time on 30 Blu-ray Discs In a 1.5TB MiniDisc-Like Cassette · · Score: 1

    You didn't get the joke, it seems. Awkwaaaard.

  5. Re:"while some of the plugins may remained closed" on Light Table: A New Spin on the IDE · · Score: 1

    The same people who are more than happy to code for, say, Windows or OS X.

    Colour? Ha!

    Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. It is *never* to be trusted as a source, along with all other encyclopaedias. You have to check the cited sources, as you did, so there's no need to cry foul of Wikipedia doing what's expected of it.

  8. Re:Extend the lifespan of B-52 beyond 2040? on Sixty Years On, B-52s Are Still Going Strong · · Score: 2

    "Muzzies"? Grow the fuck up.

    No, it would look substantially different, even if it's just due to the materials used in construction, the engine types and fuel requirements, operating ceiling differences, different ordnance requirements, etc. etc. etc. it will look different. Humanity has learned a lot about building and flying aircraft since the B-52 was designed, strangely enough.

  10. Re:Also known as on FCC Wants To Fine Google $25K For WiFi Investigation · · Score: 1

    It's none of those things. You really don't know what you're talking about.

  11. Re:Because, Lord knows... on Facebook Says It Has 'No Intention' To Abuse CISPA · · Score: 1

    But cookies are sent willingly...

  12. Re:Wow! on Expect Hundreds of Thunderbolt Devices, Says Intel · · Score: 1

    You really should read what something actually does before trying to make a joke about it and winding up looking like a muppet.

  13. Re:Sleep among the racks on Data Center Staff Will Sleep Among the Racks For London Olympics · · Score: 1

    The same can be said about London, which I think was his point...

  14. Re:advances come with tragedies on How the Sinking of the Titanic Sparked a Century of Radio Improvements · · Score: 1

    You should read about the radio targeting used in WWII. It really was rather accurate.

  15. Re:Well... on End of Windows XP Support Era Signals Beginning of Security Nightmare · · Score: 1, Troll

    Windows 7 runs rather well on older hardware.

  16. Re:Surprisingly, not all of them. on Tennessee "Teaching the Controversy" Bill Becomes Law · · Score: 1

    You seem to really fail at understanding various important aspects of science, which would definitely explain why you are arguing that strange point.

  17. Re:Bad Slashdot on Zimmerman Charged With 2nd-Degree Murder · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. If the "stuff that matters" related to "news for nerds", then an en dash would be used.

  18. Re:Firing in US on Interview With TSA Screener Reveals 'Fatal Flaws' · · Score: 2, Informative

    You seem to have no idea about Europe. Strange.

  19. Re:Euwww! on Windows 8 Metro Theme Created For Rooted Android Tablets · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's actually very usable. You might not like it, but please remember your likes and dislikes are not necessarily representative of those of others.

    You sure were talking like someone with no idea, my apologies.

    The same take-over of Libya which still hasn't happened. Great logic, sparky. Let it go. You just don't like a brother in the white house.

    You cited a Daily Mail article, and expect to be taken seriously :) You appear to be doing your opponent's work for you.

    You are making massive generalisations which can't possibly be true, illuminating the apparent fact that you are speaking out of your asshole, and either don't care that you are doing so, or completely unaware of said fact. Either way you are bringing nothing to this discussion.

    Because you're a fucking idiot who doesn't understand the value of education.

    I flew to LA on 9/14/2001, and I was sat next to three guys dressed in what I can only assume was the same "Muslim garb" this asshole was crying about, and I wasn't scared for shit. Fuck it. It just doesn't make any sense. I can't get my head round the ability of some assholes to simply ignore logic and reason whenever they feel the slight desire to do so, then get all uppity when people call them on their illogical bullshit.
