  1. Re:Confirmed by 80s teens. on Video Quality Matters Less If You Enjoy the Show · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Best. Matrix. Reference. Evar.

  2. In other news on Video Quality Matters Less If You Enjoy the Show · · Score: 5, Funny

    The quality of sex matters less if you're having it.

  3. Re:Slashdot on The Great Typo Hunt · · Score: 3, Funny

    Can you use the word "whoosh" in a sentence?

  4. Re:Life imitates art on The Great Typo Hunt · · Score: 1

    Why do they say "I before E, except after C"? Their weird.

  5. Re:Slashdot on The Great Typo Hunt · · Score: 4, Funny

    Their heads would explode reading Slashdot.

    You loose. Slashdot has it's own set of rules. Besides, you should of said "asplode".

  7. Re:Nice on New Spacecraft Set For Dangerous Jupiter Trip · · Score: 1

    Cool story, bro.

    We talked about this a month ago. Too lazy to look it up. Lots of jokes about sending tanks to Jupiter and such.

  8. Re:wait... what? on 60-Year-Old Glass Technology Finds Its Market · · Score: 2, Funny

    'scuse me while I kiss this guy

  9. Re:Footed? on Prankster Jailbreaks Apple Store Display iPhone · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm pretty sure they meant "fisted".

  10. Re:Sounds Like an Argument for Patents on 60-Year-Old Glass Technology Finds Its Market · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If it's been around for 60 years, any patents on it would have expired long ago, unless they've been keeping it "trade secret" all this time; and, given the amount of information in TFA, that doesn't seem likely. Personally, I'm wondering why other companies aren't competing on this (yet).

  11. Re:Finally on Obama Sets End of Iraq Combat For August 31st · · Score: 1

    So a position paper from the Cato Institute, a renowned far-right wing "think-tank", entitled "Does Barack Obama Support Socialized Medicine?" (not an inflammatory or pre-judgmental title at all), dated from before the election, NOT after the final bill was passed is "informative"??? Really? I guess that'll have to do, since there's no "clueless lying propaganda" mod.

  12. Re:So they plan... on Defeating Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So, perhaps if you took two entangled particles, and measured the momentum of one, and the position of the other, you could extrapolate the total state of one of them. JUST LIKE THE SUMMARY SAYS

  13. Re:Its not always needed on Should Professors Be Required To Teach With Tech? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I wouldn't want to take a math (or programming, for that matter) class that didn't have a big whiteboard in the room. Nothing beats the interactivity of a teacher with chalk in his hand.

  14. Re:Correlation with Magnetic Poles? on Antarctic Experiment Finds Puzzling Distribution of Cosmic Rays · · Score: 1

    ...neutrinos ... have no charge ... are not expected to interact with the earth's magnetic fields according to the current theory.

    Oh. Well, if it's according to current theory, that's OK then.
    For 30 some years of my life, I was told (by current theory) they were massless. Matter of fact, current theory still doesn't have a good number for neutrino mass.

    While the Standard Model might have a lot in the way of predictive power, it doesn't have a lot in the way of explanatory power. How about you just add this uneven distribution factoid to the list of things you can't explain and get back to us when you have a theory that works from first principles.

  15. Re:"Undeniable" on Global Warming 'Undeniable,' Report Says · · Score: 0, Troll

    Expect "DNS-and-Bind" and the other "it isn't happening, and even if it were, so fucking what, and a wizard probably did it anyways" crowd to be trolling through here any minute now.

  16. "Undeniable" on Global Warming 'Undeniable,' Report Says · · Score: 0, Troll

    Unless you're a Republican or a corporate shill, that is.

  17. Re:Time to develop.. on NASA's Top 10 Space Junk Missions · · Score: 1

    Methinks we need a Wile E. Coyote style ACME space-junk removing magnet!

    So when the inevitable big space junk collision happens with the ship will it spring back entertainingly like an accordion?

    Think of the "GULP .... AWWWW CRAP!!!" look you could give the camera just before you start to plummet when you step off in LEO.

  18. Re:Celebrities in New Zealand? on Pizza Lovers Suffer Data Breach From Hell · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't be in a such hurry to claim the Rutherford atom. I can't think of too many ideas (that won't go away from the popular imagination) that are the source of more wrong thinking. It's one of those ideas that actually impedes understanding.

  19. Re:SQL Injection on Pizza Lovers Suffer Data Breach From Hell · · Score: 5, Funny

    "I'd like to order a large, thin crust, double cheese, pepperoni and drop table..."

  20. A little reality please on Tennessee Town Releases Red Light Camera Stats · · Score: 1

    A police officer has reviewed the tape, and has issued a ticket that says you ran a red light. If you think any traffic ticket carries a presumption of innocence, then you've never been to traffic court. The only reliable way to beat a traffic ticket is if the officer doesn't show up at court. Otherwise, it's your word against his - and guess what? - his word always wins.

  21. Re:The summary's wrong. on Heat Ray Gun Fails Final Test; Nixed From War · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Bad summary. FAIL != NOT DEPLOYED

    Meanwhile, with it being about 1650 AD in that part of the world, I can see why commanders aren't keen on using this on civilian crowds.

  22. Re:Any sufficiently advanced technology... on Apple Launches New Magical Trackpad, 12 Core Macs · · Score: 1

    The fact that you're on Slashdot makes you Not The Target Market.

    If you didn't splooge when you read "Apple Launches New Magical Trackpad, 12 Core Macs", you're Not The Target Market.

  23. Re:I think they're right on Southwest Adds 'Mechanical Difficulties' To Act Of God List · · Score: 1

    As long as the eventuality is documented in the process binder, it's OK if it happens.

  24. I think they're right on Southwest Adds 'Mechanical Difficulties' To Act Of God List · · Score: 1

    Statistics should be considered an "Act of God".
