  1. Dude! on Tattoos For the Math and Science Geek? · · Score: 1

    Get one of those Fibonacci nautilus shells on the small of your back where chicks usually get butterflys!

  2. CUNT on ACLU Sues To Protect Your Right To Swear · · Score: 1

    Shit! What small vocabularies you fucking cunts have!

  3. LMFAO on Texas Schools Board Rewriting US History · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's time for the US to give Texas back to Mexico.

    Sure. You just have to get the okay from Texans, who'd probably go independent first. For that matter, they'd probably burn their own cities and salt every farm & ranch before joining Mexico.

    ..but wait, seriously, no country and western music?

  4. swat teams to inspect oil rigs.. wtf? on Can Oil-Eating Bacteria Help Clean Up the Gulf Oil Spill? · · Score: 1

    http://www.youtube.com/v/aegI9YCM0oA I'm not the only one this morning who thought the swat teams were fucking odd.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4DnU_8RhEg

  5. BAD SUMMARY on The Mystery of the Mega-Selling Floppy Disk · · Score: 1
    Claims to be about the "Mega-selling Floppy Disk", but the original article is about the floppy Diskette (3.5"). Currently there are no Mega-selling floppy Disks (5.25").

    I am shocked at /. for posting such an enormous error.

  6. Shit the Terrorists Win Again on Cleaner Air Could Speed Global Warming · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    So clearly the only answer to climate change is Repressive Legislation. Substance doesn't matter, as long as it sucks.

  7. Fuck You Global Warming on Cleaner Air Could Speed Global Warming · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    We tried all kinds of shit to satisfy your mythical existence and you just keep on whining. Going to buy two cases of Aqua-Net right now and spray em all night long.

  8. Bricking is not enough on Hard Drives Shipping with Star Trek · · Score: 1

    What's up with Seagate? They seem to be increasingly looking for ways to make paperweights. And they used to be the standard.

  9. Not Enough Time to Build an Arc on Tsunami Warning From Space? · · Score: 1

    I can only imagine the potential for religious experiences from a giant light from the sky occurring for those who had no foreknowledge of the system. Is it possible Moses & the Jews were just out of the loop on the existing pharaoh/reptilian overlords communications technology?

  10. The killer app on iPad Launches, FCC Teardown Leaked · · Score: 4, Funny

    a Newton Emulator.

  11. The Future of Programming must have Tatoos on The Struggle To Keep Java Relevant · · Score: 1

    WTF is this supposed to mean? The new COBOL? We need a hip new language that appeals to the bohemian hacker (flash/designer). Please.

  12. The first packets on Navy Wants Cyber Weapons That Shoot Data Beams · · Score: 1

    will say "Linksys" "Linksys". Then all the evil Matrix data will pour in and wreak havoc!

  13. How about Urban Terror? on Google Gets Quake II Running In HTML5 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since I can already play QuakeLive in a browser, I probably won't get too excited about Q2.

  14. Missing on Lawmakers Ask For FTC Investigation of Google Buzz · · Score: 1

    This post needs a 'share on Buzz' icon.

  15. End of New Solaris Customers on Solaris No Longer Free As In Beer · · Score: 5, Insightful
    If I were the head of any IT/company/initiative trying to decide on a platform for a new system.. Nobody in their right mind would now invest in a Solaris system anymore than they would start developing PowerBuilder or SQLWindows applications.

    It's been a fun ride Solaris.

  16. USPS has infected English on 9 MA Cyberbullies Indicted For Causing Suicide · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is saving 3 characters that valuable? MA is a postal designation for Massachusetts. It is not correct to refer to Massachusetts as MA. If you must abbreviate, use Mass. as even USPS used before they came up with state codes. You can still write Conn., Del. &c. in a mailing address, but they don't like it.

  17. Re:i had a bout of paranoia where i imagined this on New Malware Overwrites Software Updaters · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It is surprising that MS hasn't done this yet. I don't think every app should be required to go through through a package manager, but it just makes sense for the big ones. GNU/Linux has had this for years. And I've had it with Adobe.

  18. Well said on Netflix Streaming Arrives For the Wii · · Score: 1

    You mean I can finally watch 'Look Who's Talking 2' and 'Rocky V' on my Wii?

  19. Why is the President using Twitter? on Obama's Twitter Account "Hacked" · · Score: 1
    Seriously. Maybe for pr crap during his campaign, but now that he's in office? If he is going to need to tweet people in any official capacity, it certainly should not be using something like twitter.

    If they immediately arrested someone in France for 'hacking' into it, then I can only imagine it's because it is a medium of official business, else the consequences should be not taken any more seriously than if he had guessed my security question. I doubt police in France would respond quickly to my complaint to Twitter that someone is using my account.

  20. Rediculous Memory Consumption on Mozilla Plans Fix For Critical Firefox Vulnerability In Next Release · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I thought rats got in my computer and ate my sdram module, then I discovered it was just FF 3.6. Seriously, anyone one else having a huge memory gobbling problem with this?

  21. Re:Sheeple on Free Software To Save Us From Social Networks · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, social networking could also be the most effective tool for preserving freedom. It's all in the implementation, isn't it?

    My comment was based on the implementation that has taken place. So no, it will not preserve freedom.

  22. Sheeple on Free Software To Save Us From Social Networks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's a fabulous idea. Sign me up. However in terms of penetration, it will be the rare paranoid slashdot reader that values privacy enough to take such measures. Social networking is here to stay and is possibly the most effective tool for destroying freedom. Why should the NSA go after people when they can simply get the people to come to them?

  23. Re:Too much salt? on Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking · · Score: 1

    "Patriotism is bigotry." .. Huh?

  24. Reputable Medical Source on Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking · · Score: 1

    I can't take any medical expert seriously when there site hits me with Cheerios (that are good for your heart) and Splenda ads.

  25. Re:Too much salt? on Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking · · Score: 2, Informative
    I just did a search (probably the same one you did). Pretty easy to find more once you skip the 1st listing by mayoclinic.

    http://www.health-benefit-of-water.com/sea-salt.html

    Sea salt obtained from solar evaporation of sea water is entirely different from modern refined salt, and it contains a variety of minerals that play a role in keeping the body's electrolytes in a healthy balance. The Salt ConspiracyUnfortunately, the common table salt, we use today is primarily kiln-dried sodium chloride with anti-caking agents added. Trace minerals, as well as calcium, magnesium and potassium salts are removed in processing. Kiln-drying involves scorching salt at high heat to remove moisture. This refining process creates a product that is unnatural and hard on the body. It is the true culprit that contributes to high blood pressure, heart trouble, kidney disease and eczema, among other problems.
