  1. Re:Is it worth going back to the lunar surface? on NASA's New Mission to the Moon · · Score: 1

    Though there is a certain precision and clarity to your brevity, a reason why would be helpful for the discussion. Something like: "We're messing shit up so bad here that we need a lifeboat", or "I personally would like to see what it's like to have the hiccups in low gravity". That's all.

  2. Re:Never Fear, Space Garbage is Here! on Asteroid Highlighted as Impact Threat · · Score: 1

    Better yet, NASA should use it's connections in the mafia to obtain a rocket and blast all of our trash at it.

  3. Re:How would I fix it? on Congress Tackles Patent Reform · · Score: 1

    I would mod that insightful if only I could.

  4. Re:Good! on YouTube Hands Over User Info To Fox · · Score: 1

    I'm more fond of when stupid people win over corporate greed. It's much more entertaining!

  5. Re:How can anybody be banned from internet? on MySpace Worm Creator Sentenced · · Score: 1

    Does it seem to anyone that the quickest way to get mod points by means other than "saying bill gates sodomizes dead goats while clubbing baby rhesus monkeys" is to put /. down?

  6. Re:Definitly.. on NASA Considers Plans for Permanent Moon Base · · Score: 1

    That won't work, because the moon isn't a type M planet, so it won't even be able to support roddenberries.

  7. Re:Penis.... er.... Data Envy? on Inside the Lucasfilm datacenter · · Score: 1

    This really has nothing to do with this discussion, but I feel it must be injected somewhere into it anyway:

  8. Re:Incoming lawsuits in: on Microwave Experiments Cause Sponge Disasters · · Score: 1

    -Why don't you try using water on the crops?

    -You mean, like, from the toilet?

  9. Re:read this book on What's the Problem With US High Schools? · · Score: 1

    Education has nothing to do with learning anything (including how to be good consumers). Instead it's all about getting grades and certificates. Neither of those things makes you more educated.

  10. I'm surprised! on Wikipedia's $100 Million Dream · · Score: 0, Troll

    Without a doubt what needs to be bought by the wikifoundation to be freed is windows!

  11. Re:Uh Oh! on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 1

    I think you have a strong point there. SO, if ~30% of Americans are obese, and Bush's approval rating is ~30%...

  12. Re:Oh please on IT and Divorce? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You know, the people who live on welfare and have lots of kids have the exact opposite problem you do. What's kind of scary is that they will end up contributing more to the gene pool than you.

  13. Re:WHOa on Google Buys YouTube for $1.65 Billion · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Languages change dickhead! Get over it! If you don't like it go ahead and kill yourself because nothing's going to change that! How do you think Spanish, French, Portugese, Romanian, Italian, and Catalan all came into existence? By people making "mistakes" in Latin. I'm so sick of assholes like you jumping down people's throats about shit like this. Did his "mistakes" keep you from understanding what was said? Did his "mistakes" hurt you? But you decided to be a dickhead to him anyway, over what? Go eat shit you grammar nazi.

  14. How come... on Weakness In Linux Kernel's Binary Format · · Score: 1

    How come every story that I find interesting gets tagged fud, notfud?

  15. Never done that but... on A GUI For Books · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...does anyone else has the taskbar at the bottom of their dreams from time to time?

  16. The Need for Lawyers on Citizen Journalism Expert Jay Rosen Answers Your Questions · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Legal intimidation will happen, and I'm sure there will be times when the bad guys will win.
    To me this illustrates the need for good lawyers. It's the corporate lawyers that really give lawyers a bad name, and try to smear other types of lawyers as "do-gooders" or "ambulence chasers" (granted there are a few of those). But the above comment shows that there is demand that needs to be met. There should be some profit in that, even if it isn't as much as representing a big corporation. I live in the same town that John Grisham practiced law in, and nearly everybody is a lawyer here, but nobody seems to be picking up on the fact that protecting freedom of speech can be somewhat profitable as well allowing you to look at yourself in the mirror.
  17. Re: Will the Next Election Be Hacked? on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    My wife's grandfather still harps on about how Kennedy stole the '60 election.

  18. Re:Give me a printout! on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    I'll go with that.

  19. Re:Why hack the election? on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    All the ways that you describe are what I call "vote shaving". Hacking the voting machines is just another way to go about it. You can't have all of your fraud in one place, then it's blatantly obvious. If you shave off some votes here and there and make it look like it was a close election than fewer people will suspect anything is going on.

  20. Re:why liberals lose on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It really says something about Bush's charisma when he has to steal elections from both Gore and Kerry.

  21. Re:Get it through your think head: on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    Bush can hide behind plausible deniabillity if he doesn't admit anything.

  22. Re:Give me a printout! on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    So let me get this straight. You have the computer do the tally, and then you count the paper ballots by hand?

    Wouldn't it be easier to leave the computer out of the equation?

  23. Re:The Christian Science Monitor?????? on The Mismatched 'MythBusters' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm an atheist too, but I'll be damned if the CSM isn't a good paper. You just have to ignore the last couple of pages. Yes Christian Scientists believe in crazy things, that doesn't mean that they can't hire good reporters.

  24. Re:The imporant question at M$ on Microsoft Launches the Zune · · Score: 1

    That's interesting, the other rumor going around about it is that it smells like it looks.

  25. I don't see what the problem with G is on Bayer Petitions For Approval of Biotech Rice · · Score: 1

    Is there any evidence to suggest that GM crops are bad for humans? I don't know, please somebody enlighten me. But knowing what little I know about genetics (undergraduate class on genetics) I don't see it being a big problem. What I see is the biggest problem is that they are using this GM crop so they can use a more deadly herbacide. Herbacides have been proven to be harmfull for humans and bad for the ecosystem in general.
