  1. Re:Stop focusing on the fads on Low-Protein Diet May Extend Lifespan · · Score: 1

    In some parts of the world it's called eating "food".

  2. Re:Atkin's Diet on Low-Protein Diet May Extend Lifespan · · Score: 1

    Sorry. he was not even remotely obese. Cite maybe?

  3. Cerberus and Lookout for Android pretty much do this already. I believe Apple has the same thing in iCloud. Verizon will not activate a phone if it's been reported stolen.

  4. Oddly no application number is cited on Inventor Has Waited 43 Years For Patent Approval · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If this guy's really been at it for 43 years without ever appealing a patent office rejection, he doesn't really want a patent. He's another Lemelson looking for somebody to sue.

  5. Re:Why single out Whole Foods? on Whole Foods: America's Temple of Pseudoscience · · Score: 1

    Plenty of iodine in seafood. The only reason we have iodized salt is because people decided to move into the interior of a large continent, devoid of said essential trace element. There most certainly is iodized sea salt available, you can google it.

  6. Re:Can someone explain this theft? on Mt. Gox Shuts Down: Collapse Should Come As No Surprise · · Score: 1

    Just about any scenario where money is held as cash or a deposit in a bank account could apply equally to Bitcoin. You give a stack of $100 bills to a bank, they give you a slip of paper showing they have your money and will give it back when you ask. If the bank president or a crooked teller then puts everyone's stacks of $100 bills in a suitcase and disappears, your slip of paper isn't worth much.

    In the case of the Pirateat40, it was a classic Ponzi scheme. The fact that it was done with Bitcoins instead of pieces of paper with pictures of dead Presidents and statesmen on them doesn't change much.

    This would be a good analogy if you substituted "some guy in an alley" for "bank".

  7. Re:Hate speech, and Libel/Slander on South Park Game Censored On Consoles Outside North America · · Score: 1

    I'm not your friend buddy!

  8. Look at the bright side on Oklahoma Schools Required To Teach Students Personal Finance · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I saw "Oklahoma" and "required to teach". I thought it was going to be intelligent design.

  9. Another Sample on Harold Ramis Dies At 69 · · Score: 1

    Egon: Venkman, get a stool sample. Peter Venkman: Business, or personal?

  10. They already have such a machine on Speedier Screening May Be Coming To an Airport Near You · · Score: 1

    It's called a metal detector.

  11. Re:Video of toothpaste bomb on TSA: Confiscating Aluminum Foil and Watching Out For Solar Powered Bombs · · Score: 1

    That bomb would not take down an airliner. It didn't even take out the roof on that wreck. It would do some damage but not take down the plane. At any rate, why does the TSA concentrate on a toothpaste tube. Any container could be used. If this type of bomb was a real threat it would have been used long ago.

  12. Re:They still have not caught a single terrorist. on TSA: Confiscating Aluminum Foil and Watching Out For Solar Powered Bombs · · Score: 1

    So he wouldn't just blow something else up instead? There are no terrorists. The US has been chasing the bogeyman since 9/11. Sad.

  13. Re:Lousy argumentation on TSA: Confiscating Aluminum Foil and Watching Out For Solar Powered Bombs · · Score: 1

    Nor do they feel up children's crotches.

  14. Re:"What the internet was designed for" on Killing Net Neutrality Could Be Good For You · · Score: 1

    Pipes? I thought the internet was a series of tubes.

  15. Tough times on 1870s Horse Flu Epidemic Brought US Economy To Its Knees · · Score: 1

    Ah, remember it like it were yesterday. The ride through at the McDonald's was deserted for years.

  16. Re:Attorney client privilege on NSA Ally Spied on US Law Firm · · Score: 1

    Um wtf? This was a law firm involved in a trade dispute with a third world nation. This is a matter for the National Security Agency?

  17. Re:Can't say I didn't see this one coming. on Venezuelan Regime Censoring Twitter · · Score: 1

    In addition, don't forget that the NFL is officially a nonprofit and pays zero taxes.

  18. Re:This just in! on NSA: Others Implicated in Making Snowden Data Leaks Possible · · Score: 1

    The METRO runs in Hawaii?

  19. Bing will never be relevent on This Isn't the First Time Microsoft's Been Accused of Bing Censorship · · Score: 1

    Nobody's ever going to say "you should Bing that".

  20. I for one welcome our new Beta overlords on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    Not.

  21. Re:nobody is excluding them on Getting Young Women Interested In Open Source · · Score: 1

    Excellent point. Similarly, I can't figure out why parents in general want their kids to do shit that they don't want to do to be "successful". Wouldn't you just want your kid to be happy?

  22. Re:Simple - A person can be smart, people are dumb on How Voter Shortsightedness Skews Elections · · Score: 1

    Can you give us a rationale for this? Not seeing it.

  23. Ape on Can Wolfram Alpha Tell Which Team Will Win the Super Bowl? · · Score: 1
