  1. Maniac driver on Why Letting Your Insurance Company Monitor How You Drive Can Be a Good Thing · · Score: 1

    I drive like a complete idiot. But I've never been in a wreck. So I sent Progressive their little thingy back after connecting it to my grandmother's car for a month.

  2. Lithium on Cosmic Microwave Background: Google Earth Style · · Score: 2

    Awesome. But I still can't find the missing lithium.

  3. Prediction -- not. on Brain Scans Predict Which Criminals Are More Likely To Re-offend · · Score: 1

    This isn't a prediction. For that you'd have to be able to prove that the repeat offenders actually did something heinous. Like became politicians.

  4. Re:If consumers didn't want big phones on Don't Super-Size My Smartphone! · · Score: 1

    This doesn't explain the Bieber phenomenon.

  5. Live by the CLI, die by the CLI on Obama's Portrait of Cyberwar Isn't Complete Hyperbole · · Score: 1

    To wit: Stuxnet

  6. Sensationalism is dead! Long live sensationalism! on Is Email 'Bankrupt'? · · Score: 1

    My shock isn't with the imminent demise of email. But with the hard-hitting journalism of the "liberal" Washington Post.

  7. Take on Bush on Chess Grandmaster Kasparov Versus President Putin · · Score: 1

    Now, if only Bobby Fisher would take a stab at taking down Bush.

  8. One bias down, aleph0-1 to go on NY Times Tries to Untangle Analysts and Shills · · Score: 1

    The Times should be lauded for attempting to "remove bias" (on the face of it, an impossible task) for this one topic. If only they could address their own political biases. I suggest not making your next exhalation so contigent.

  9. Re:Who is scuttlemonkey? on Flash EULA Doesn't Fit the Times · · Score: 1

    Oppose censorship? Put your monkey where your mouth is: publish this. (It was rejected by you and your esteemed colleagues.)
    Slashdot advertiser Yahoo!(TM) has been identified by Reporters Without Borders as helping Chinese state security officials of convicting Shi Tao of "illegally providing top state secrets to overseas organizations." From [0]: "He was convicted on 30 April of sending foreign-based websites the text of an internal message which the authorities had sent to his newspaper warning journalists of the dangers of social destabilisation and risks resulting from the return of certain dissidents on the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre." This continues the saga of Yahoo!(TM)'s complicity in censorship by repressive governments, well documented here and in the press.

  10. Re:Turtles theory on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1

    I know where you want to go here. Difference is, "your" turtle theory? I think the shuttle and ISS occupants can discredit that one with a glance. And that's the essential point: there's nothing like a glance or a very close look that can refute or add credence to ID. You're required to take it on faith.

  11. not superfluid, perfect on Data Suggests Early Universe was Superfluid · · Score: 1

    Superfluid=single quantum state
    Perfect fluid=no viscosity Different.

  12. Re:The moral of the story: on Tracking Your Taxes · · Score: 1

    Maybe the emphasis should be on "no better."

  13. UPC symbols are next on FDA Approves Implantable RFID for Patients · · Score: 1

    On the back of the neck or right out in front, on the forehead. Your choice.

  14. Wear are we going? on Jerry Falwell Wins Dispute Over Fallwell.com · · Score: 1

    [Sarcasm alert!] Yes, because it's a URL people can no longer discern between differently spelled words.
