  1. Re:interesting on Fracked Shale Could Sequester Carbon Dioxide · · Score: 2

    If the CO2 gets into the ground water (which is where your pumping it), it will turn the water acidic. Do you really want acidic water running through our limestone deposits?

  2. product not idea on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Sell an Algorithm To Venture Capitalists? · · Score: 1

    Venture capitalists are not interested in algorithms, they are interested in a business plan they can believe it. Come up with a way to make money using the algorithm and "sell" it too them.

  3. Re:Oh good, undersea mining on Major Find By Japanese Scientists May Threaten Chinese Rare Earth Hegemony · · Score: 5, Funny

    They could wake up Godzilla

  4. Your getting paid to do a job, do it. on Ask Slashdot: How To (or How NOT To) Train Your Job Replacement? · · Score: 1

    If they are paying you your rate, WTF do you care if its teaching someone or coding? Do you honestly believe that your all that? Get over yourself, and do your job. Last job I quit, they called me for a year with questions. Simple shit, as long as it was less than an hour I didn't even charge them.

  5. Re:iGoogle on Ask Slashdot: Which Google Project Didn't Deserve To Die? · · Score: 1

    Agreed, I use this so many times per hour its ridiculous.

  6. links or it didn't happen! on Ask Slashdot: Undoing an Internet Smear Campaign? · · Score: 1

    links or it didn't happen!

  7. Re:Waste of money. on Stanford Team Developing Spiked Robots To Explore Phobos · · Score: 1

    No, but I would hope there would be a better use of our very limited NASA budget.

  8. Waste of money. on Stanford Team Developing Spiked Robots To Explore Phobos · · Score: 1

    Given that Phobos is most likely a captured body, this does not seem like a good return on the investment.

  9. The employer has to own the invention on Should Inventions Be Automatically Owned By Your Employer? · · Score: 2

    I cannot run my company, if I have to bargain for the invention that I paid my employee to develop. Now that being said, if I the employee developed the invention completely separate from the company then he certainly should own it.

  10. Re:Why not on Red Light Cameras Raise Crash Risk, Cost · · Score: 2

    Apparently you don't live in New Jersey; we employ the homeless to hold signs at all the intersections, advertising all of the furniture stores doing their weekly going out of business sales. For some reason that no one understands the stores never actually go out of business, its just one of those mysteries.

  11. Turduckenen-duckenen on Ask Slashdot: Geekiest Way To Cook a Turkey? · · Score: 3, Funny
  12. should have rickrolled them on Google Bars Site That Converts YouTube Songs Into MP3s · · Score: 2

    Redirecting YouTube-MP3.org to the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" would have been more appropriate.

  13. If I had to be honest... on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    I switch to Linux in 1993 because Windows was an unstable disaster. Now I am so comfortable with Linux I could never change, even if Windows became a better solution. So if I had to be honest I would have to admit that I am a Linux guy and will never switch for the same reasons that most Windows guys would never consider Linux. Its just inside their comfort zone.

  14. Dude! Stop now! on Preserving Memories of a Loved One? · · Score: 1

    Stop with the video, stop with the blogs, stop with the pictures. Just try to live the remaining time as full as possible. YOUR families memories of the good times is enough, make sure you have lots of them.

  15. You gave them them contract... on Sidestepping A-to-D Convertors For Town Government's Cable TV? · · Score: 1

    Your town gave them contract, they are trying to change the terms after the fact. Inform them this is unacceptable, and will require a renegotiation in their contract. They will cave in instantly, if they lose the contract for your town it will be a huge loss to them. Walk down the hall and inform the council about this.

  16. Muhammad on Slashdot on Pakistan To Scour Google, Yahoo For Blasphemy · · Score: 1

    Here is my drawing of Muhammad: :) There now Pakistan can block Slashdot too.

  17. password aging == weak passwords on Please Do Not Change Your Password · · Score: 1

    Software setups that require password aging force me to use simpler and simpler passwords so I can remember them. At my last job my original password was "DepletedUranium1sH3avy", once they implemented password aging it became "passwordXXXX" where XXXX was the month/year. Which do you think is easier to crack?

  18. Re:Increase econmy 10-25% on 50% Efficiency Boost From New Fuel Injection System · · Score: 1

    Hydrolicly controlled clutches rarely need clutch changes, I typically go 100,000 miles before even looking at the clutch now. Automatics are only close to MT's in mileage at cruise, they still lose a lot during acceleration (prior to lock up). Look at the consumer reports site, they show the numbers. I do however agree that MT's are being marketed in lower end vehicles in the US (not so much true else where).

  19. Increase econmy 10-25% on 50% Efficiency Boost From New Fuel Injection System · · Score: 1

    Buy a manual transmission vehicle. You get an automatic 2-5mpgs better, plus the initial cost and maintenance costs are significantly cheaper.

  20. Milky Way from the Sargasso Sea on One Fifth of World's Population Can't See Milky Way At Night · · Score: 1

    I will never forget the first time I saw the Milky Way, on a cloudless, moonless night from the Sargasso Sea. The view was indescribable. Try to imagine a band of clouds illuminated by a electroluminescent light source, but not where the clouds are in our atmosphere, but as a back drop to the stars above. Its humbling.

  21. Its a lie on WarCloning, the New WarDriving? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Author claims you can read the SSID and reprogram another tag with this SSID. This is not true. The SSID is not a R/W field. While technically you could create an active device to pretend to be a tag with the fake SSID, it certainly is not trivial.

  22. Java programmers? on How Do I Manage Seasoned Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Since when do we call Java writers, programmers?

  23. Re:Wait, who had 480i streaming video? on Why the Olympics Didn't Melt the Internet · · Score: 1

    same here, I haven't been able to view a single frame of content.

  24. Land of the Oppressed, and Home of the Afraid. on Senate Passes Telecom Immunity Bill · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This just pisses me off. I think we should repeal every law that was passed since 9/11.

  25. Natual Selection on YouTube Breeding Harmful Scientific Misinformation · · Score: 1

    YouTube is increasingly a resource people consult for health information Its supposed to happen that way, its called natural selection.
    Idiots get their health info. from idiots, they die off and evolution continues.
