  1. Re:Well color me surprised! on Fish Raised On Land Give Clues To How Early Animals Left the Seas · · Score: 1

    The Danish expression for tax evader is "tax eel", so maybe it's possible...

  2. CS is innocent... on Statistics Losing Ground To CS, Losing Image Among Students · · Score: 2

    I think the problem is that statisticians have small, unconnected habitats and overly complex mating rituals.

  3. Drag the remaining 60% through the legal system on 40% Of People On Terror Watch List Have No Terrorist Ties · · Score: 1

    ... so they can have terrorist suits to go with their terrorist ties.

    I think the Anonymous Coward account is compromised. Look over his posts, it's mostly complete crap.

  5. Re:Load of Horse Shit on Why Morgan Stanley Is Betting That Tesla Will Kill Your Power Company · · Score: 1

    I have a modern thermostat and I set the low point to 72 degrees and the high point to 76 degrees and let the system figure out how to keep the house in that range.

    Is that Fahrenheit or do you live an a sauna?

  6. Re:Quantum mechanics is real, like it or not. on More Quantum Strangeness: Particles Separated From Their Properties · · Score: 1

    It doesn't just apply to atoms and electrons, but to rocks, people, and planets.

    Are you saying I can enter two slits at the same time?

  7. Re:Seems logical... on Metamason: Revolutionizing CPAP Masks With 3D Scanning and 3D Printing · · Score: 1

    There is prior art. My company has been scanning ears and printing hearing instrument shells for at least ten years.

  8. Re:Other consequences on France Cries Foul At World Cup "Spy Drone" · · Score: 2

    I most civilized countries the use of fire arms for this purpose would be illegal. Just make protection drones that force the intruding drones down. It would be fun to watch the drone wars.

  9. Re:Should Microsoft X? Should Microsoft Y? on Should Microsoft Give Kids Programmable Versions of Office? · · Score: 1

    Maybe not a decifuck, but at least a few centifucks...

  10. Re:Ellis Island Syndrome on TSA Missed Boston Bomber Because His Name Was Misspelled In a Database · · Score: 1

    These are patronyms from various Nordic countries. Andersen is Danish or Norwegian. Anderson and Andersson are Swedish. Anderssen is the only example of Ellis Island Syndrome.

  11. Re:Elegant Code? on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Consider Elegant Code? · · Score: 2

    Well, it looks like we're not all racist bastards.

  12. Not elegant at all on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Consider Elegant Code? · · Score: 1

    I've often com across this: if (b) return true; else return false;

    KeepAss?

  15. Re:Why Didn't He Just Drink the Water? on How An Astronaut Nearly Drowned During a Space Walk · · Score: 1

    That's something else. It says "Couldn't he just have DRANK the water". This is a question of whether (or weather as another thread says) he could have DRUNK it.

  16. Re:Quarts? on How An Astronaut Nearly Drowned During a Space Walk · · Score: 5, Funny

    Mouthfuls

  17. Re:Tamper-proof screws? on Inside Boeing's New Self-Destructing Smartphone · · Score: 2

  18. Re:Here in Western Europe... on Who's On WhatsApp, and Why? · · Score: 1

    You cannot generalize for Western Europe. I bet the market penetration is proportional to the price of sending SMS in each country.

  19. I'd never heard of it before the acquisition on Who's On WhatsApp, and Why? · · Score: 1

    Most plans in Denmark have free SMS, so that's the messaging application of choice.

    politiken.dk.

  22. Re:Sign the petition on Australia OKs Dumping Dredge Waste In Barrier Reef · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If the shit was not "Waste" before it was scooped up and moved to another spot, then it's still not "Waste".

    The wrapping around you chocolate bar is not waste, you peel it off, eat the chocolate and it's still not waste?

    You buy a roll of toilet paper, wipe your sorry ass with it and it's still not waste?

  23. My method... on Yep, People Are Still Using '123456' and 'Password' As Passwords In 2014 · · Score: 1

    I skip all the vowels, then assign an integer to each consonant, p is 1, s is 2, w is 4, r is 5 and d is 6. If a letter is repeated I add 1 to the original integer. So now password is 123456, and I fooled all the bad guys.

  24. Free speech on Scientists Glue Sensors To 5,000 Bees In a Bid To Better Understand Them · · Score: 5, Funny

    I believe in free speech, I would rather glue 5000 bees to a censor.

  25. Re:The Thermostat by H.L. Mencken, 1931 on Google Buys Home Automation Company Nest · · Score: 1

    Ahh, I did the old factor 10 error. Sorry about that. DaTrueDave (obviously an imperial storm trooper) is right, it's about 20 by 20 meters.
