  1. Re:Moo on Was the 2004 Election Stolen? · · Score: 1

    Give me another reason why it is still a Tuesday.

    Give me another reason why it is not a national holiday.

    It's not FUD if it's entirely logical and rational. If you think there are no bad actors in Congress you are entirely deluding yourself.

  2. Re:Moo on Was the 2004 Election Stolen? · · Score: 1

    Nowhere in the US Constitution does it say that elections must be held on Tuesday, and I'm sure many people agree it's not such a great day to do it.

    It is done this way so that very low-income voters, who tend to vote Democratic and cannot miss a day of work to go vote, have more of a chance of being pushed out of the voting process.

    There is no other justification for it.

  3. This doesn't make any sense. on Vaporizing Garbage to Create Electricity · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why does my nascent understanding of physics and chemistry tell me this must be impossible? How can there be SO much more energy in trash than in this sludge waste product that it can actually power a power plant AND develop megawatts of power?

  4. Careful on Firefly Marathon on SciFi, September 18th · · Score: 1

    I'm as much of a leftie as you are, but there IS a conflict between us and the movement of violent Islamic extremism. Saying "you shouldn't believe in the war on terror" doesn't make any sense to a large majority of folks out there, and it isn't even really what you mean.

    Apropos of nothing.

  5. I'm not sure it deserved a ROFLOMGWTFBBQ on Firefly Marathon on SciFi, September 18th · · Score: 1

    but Stargate and Firefly are pretty much completely different shows.

  6. Yep. on Microsoft [to patent] Verb Conjugation · · Score: 1

    Prior art: expert systems.

    Next.

  7. rofl on Ohio LinuxFest 2006 · · Score: 1

    whiprush is an internet celebrity now. Gotta love it.

  8. Re:Horrible idea, but thats par for the course for on Vista Startup Sound to be Mandatory? · · Score: 1

    Mine mostly works, but after about 8 suspend-resume (or hibernate-resume) cycles I get a warning message saying "The API failed to complete because of a lack of system resources" and after that the machine pretends it doesn't know how to hibernate or suspend.

  9. How telling. on The Future of NetBSD · · Score: 3, Funny

    I love NetSBD

    Freudian slip, apparently.

  10. Cute, but on Single-Celled Species' Genome As Complex As Ours? · · Score: 1

    That's not really a "just" for a lot of people. I did this and it was great for me, but only because I had tremendous motivation at the time.

    Who the hell wants to be a slave of their DNA? I would much prefer the ability to self-define, thank you very much.

  11. winner on A Look at Debian Etch Beta 3 · · Score: 1

    My distro is more dapper than yours.

  12. Re:Like in humid environments - !not on How to Run a Computer in a Sub-Zero Environment? · · Score: 1

    The first thing I would do is build a test system and just run it in the cold environment sans any kind of help at all. Especially with a Netburst P4, computers generate so much heat that I doubt it'd get any colder than 40 degrees or so inside the case.

  13. Re:wtf, man? on LiveDrive vs GDrive vs Personal Data Storage? · · Score: 1

    Are you trying to say that if I was really hardcore, I would recognize 7 as being L?

    I've been on IRC for 11 years. NO ONE has ever used it that way.

  14. Meh on EVE Online Rocked by 700 Billon ISK Scam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The appalling dearth of PvE and story-driven content in EVE bores me. Plus it seems that "you learned your lesson, don't be so stupid in the future" is kind of a worthless thing to say to someone when you can potentially be busted down to next-to-nothing for making one little mistake, making it next to impossible to get back to where you used to be in anything resembling a reasonable amount of time.

  15. wtf, man? on LiveDrive vs GDrive vs Personal Data Storage? · · Score: 1

    "shut up foot?"

  16. Huh? on LiveDrive vs GDrive vs Personal Data Storage? · · Score: 1

    What American ISP bills by amount of data transferred?

  17. Re:Dumbass. on 2006 Fields Medalists Announced · · Score: 1

    What?

    Oh. No, not you, I was referring to the guy who rejected the prize in the first place. :p

  18. One word: on Biofuel Production to Cause Water Shortages? · · Score: 1

    Peanuts.

  19. Dumbass. on 2006 Fields Medalists Announced · · Score: 1

    Mathematics is abstract truth. Who gives a shit what the mathematical community thinks? He made the discovery and is under no obligations to interact with them should he accept the prize.

  20. No on Irish Company Claims Free Energy · · Score: 1

    Constructing the device (interestingly, it always seems to be described in roughly the same ways these days) appears to be pretty cheap. More or less anyone could build one.

    Money would just be *less important*. It would really revolutionize society. The cost of EVERYTHING derives from the supply of energy - food, housing, transportation, medical care. Free energy would more or less mean a classless society. It would pretty much be the next step of human evolution.

  21. Waste on Biofuel Production to Cause Water Shortages? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We pay farmers to grow nothing as it is. Pay them to grow fuel crops instead.

  22. Incredibly easy prediction: on Another Linux PDA to Challenge the Nokia 770 · · Score: 1

    This is far, far too cool to ever make it to the United States.

  23. Re:"I'd hit it" on Blue Pill Myth Debunked · · Score: 1

    No, but it IS a discriminator.

  24. Is this really Slashdot? on Blue Pill Myth Debunked · · Score: 1

    I can't believe no one has commented on the fact that she's female yet.

    I'd hit it, assuming she's as cute as she looks in that picture.
