  1. Navy ship? on Mariners Develop High Tech Pirate Repellents · · Score: 1

    The problem, as I understand it, is that there are so few Navy ships in such a big ocean. So why not put a couple aircraft carriers there? A fighter wing could reach a ship in trouble way faster than a battleship could.

  2. Re:Living, is a very dangerous activity . . . on Hawking Expecting To Make Full Recovery · · Score: 1

    . . . no one has been able to survive it yet.

    Close to 6.8 billion people would beg to differ.

  3. Re:Of course we don't need running shoes on Do We Need Running Shoes To Run? · · Score: 1

    Its merely the result of monogamy laws.

  4. Re:Of course we don't need running shoes on Do We Need Running Shoes To Run? · · Score: 1

    it must be for running towards prey.

    Yup, the most dangerous prey of all.... Hey it all makes sense now!

  5. Re:Unfortunately I'm a Bit Skeptical on Quantum Theory May Explain Wishful Thinking · · Score: 1

    I caution you that people in the future might look back on this and laugh that such crude research could in any way conclude that quantum mechanics is at work.

    Sure, the waveform could collapse that way. We should apply for funding to calculate this probability.

  6. Re:Canada Big, Slovenia Small on Bell Proposing Usage-Based Billing · · Score: 1

    But then again, US national debt is more than the number of stars in the Universe, so astronomical is not what it used to be.

    Hmm, I'd've thought we'd've gone bankrupt once debt reached the first $sextillion....

  7. Re:Different from wearing a mask? on Using Net Proxies Will Lead To Harsher Sentences · · Score: 1

    They do wear dark sunglasses though.

  8. Re:How do I opt my website out? on Amazon To Block Phorm Scans · · Score: 1

    They mean that the contents of your site's robots.txt file will be used to generate robot ads.

  9. Re:So what? on Obama Taps a 5th Lawyer From the RIAA · · Score: 1

    The same applies to Mafia hitmen. The Secret Service, NSA, CIA, and FBI need more men with that kind of experience.

  10. Re:Now let the RIAA find replacements on Obama Taps a 5th Lawyer From the RIAA · · Score: 1

    Great, so now these will be the guys defending warrentless wiretaping and even more intrusive spying on U.S. citizens.

  11. Re:Lawyers represent their clients on Obama Taps a 5th Lawyer From the RIAA · · Score: 1

    How about he hire Bernie Madoff as the new Treasury Secretary? I mean the guy is obviously the cream of the crop when it comes to understanding money, right?

  12. Re:Same behavior in humans too on Chimpanzees Exchange Meat For Sex · · Score: 1

    A non geeks requirements for a girl are far less. Will they have sex with me? Yes. Do I want to have sex with them? Yes.

    "Far less"? I have yet to find a girl that fulfills that first requirement!

  13. Re:This needs to get press. on EFF Says Obama Warrantless Wiretap Defense Is Worse than Bush · · Score: 1

    Where are the posts comparing Obama to Hitler?

    Dude, anyone who would compare Obama to Hitler is obviously deranged.

    Obama is not the new Hitler. Obama is the Anti-Christ.

  14. Re:Oh great. on New ICANN TLDs May Cause Internet Land Rush · · Score: 1

    Ask him if he would be less confused when it ends with ".webaddress".

  15. Re:I'm not impressed on Star Trek Premiere Gets Standing Ovation, Surprise Showing In Austin · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The Star Trek fans did exactly the same at the end of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and that is one of the worst movies of the franchise.

    Well, they had nothing to compare the movie to other than the series itself....

  16. I only forsee one problem in the movie on Star Trek Premiere Gets Standing Ovation, Surprise Showing In Austin · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When even I look at the new Spock, I see Sylar. I'm all for actors branching out, but Sylar is just too strong a character for me to forget him quickly, no matter how good the acting is.

  17. Re:nah. on Could the Internet Be Taken Down In 30 Minutes? · · Score: 1

    In the olden days, the Borg were taken out by Microsoft's lawyers. It should be much easier to handle the Cylons today - just send an anonymous tip to **AA.

  18. Re:other potential things on Nine Words From Science Which Originated In Science Fiction · · Score: 1

    Before, it used to be called Speculative Fiction.

  19. Re:This is bullshit on Conviction of Sen. Ted Stevens Is Thrown Out · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Procedural mistakes should not overturn convictions that are this overwhelming.

    How are you going to judge what is overwhelming and what isn't? It is far more in societies interest that prosecutors and cops start going by the book, even if it means some potentially guilty parties go free.

    The practice of law used to require one book, when we found this nation maybe a 100 now there are 10's of thousands of books involving the law in various aspects and it has gotten to be too much. We need to reboot the justice department by rewriting the laws so they are prudent, consistent and concise.

    I agree with you there. But if you RTFA you'll see that it wasn't a simple mistake of ignorance of some obscure passage in a book. These were basic rules that the prosecutors broke.

  20. Re:Phoenix has done screwed up. on Phoenix Police Seize PCs of a Blogger Critical of the Department · · Score: 1

    You say that now, but as soon as some vigilantes show up, you and your hippie palls take to the streets with "Badges, not Masks" signs. Fucking hypocrites....

  21. Re:WWOOOSSSHHHH!!! KKRRCK-BOOOOMM!!!! on NASA In Colbert Conundrum Over Space Station · · Score: 1

    FOX, having totally given the show the shaft during its short run, refused to give up their TV rights to anyone else.

    Which makes you wonder, why in the Infinite Hell Dimensions did Whedon agree to do Dollhouse for FOX? Did they put a horse head in his bed or something?

  22. Re:WWOOOSSSHHHH!!! KKRRCK-BOOOOMM!!!! on NASA In Colbert Conundrum Over Space Station · · Score: 1

    some bubblegum space opera made for teenagers, which pays only lip service to scientific fact and theory

    Dude, dissing Firefly on slashdot is almost as bad as critiquing The Empire Strikes Back.

  23. Re:Oh on Why Toddlers Don't Do What They're Told · · Score: 1

    Toddlers are bigger than slugs. You obviously needed to use more salt.

  24. Re:You mean the volume button will finally work? on ABC/Disney Considering Hulu · · Score: 1

    he volume button is autistic, and the continue feature in which you are forced to hit a button to acknowledge that you watched their ad is recognized as a clickjack by modern browsers.

    Hmm, I use the volume control on my speakers and IE6 to use their player. No wonder I haven't had any problems watching Scrubs and Better Of Ted.

  25. Re:It happens? on Huge Supernova Baffles Scientists · · Score: 1

    No, this clearly proves that someone has already developed the Sun Crusher. We're losing the interstellar arms race here, people! Let's get cracking!
