  1. All sources I have seen on Do Antibiotics Contribute To Obesity? · · Score: 1

    indicate obesity is caused by the mouth.

  2. He needed therapy? Must have been a neophyte to the Internet, I'm sure he could claim PTSD and get disability though =)

    Side note: Maybe I'm the one that needs therapy, I can watch someone get decapitated while eating my lunch... *shrug*

  3. Hmmm on And Now, the Cartoon News · · Score: 2

    I wonder if one day there will be little writing done and mostly video/photo with icons to tell you what's going on, like something you might see on an Egyptian temple, symbols not an alphabet or writing as we know it currently.

    Side Note: When I turned to youtube for some tutorials I found myself losing patience with video because (to me any how) it just plods along, I could read a tutorial much faster than I can watch it.

    That is all, let the dumbing down continue.

    No it isn't.

  6. The DEA on DEA Lack of Data Storage Results In Dismissed Drug Case · · Score: 4, Informative

    Is underfunded because they aren't there to stop drug trafficking, but rather to stop "unapproved" drug smugglers, some one/group in political power makes a lot of untraceable money by selling drugs, this is why they can not be made legal, the drug money finances black ops with money they don't have to ask congress for or get any approval on.

  7. Laugh on Scientists Inducted Into Chemistry "Hall of Fame" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is one of them the inventor of LSD?

  10. It's useful on Why Is Wikipedia So Ugly? · · Score: 1

    The way it is, aesthetics use more bandwidth and create more technical issues.

    Leave it alone.

  11. Except on Bill Gates: the Traditional PC Is Changing · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's new device is a laptop with a flimsy keyboard and a touch screen, and most of the other "tablets" have add on keyboards.

  12. What about malware? on Ask Slashdot: Are Smart Meters Safe? · · Score: 1

    Smart meters (the ones in my area) use a mesh network and communicate with each to deliver you usage, there has been a proof of concept malware (Google it) written for my smart meter mode that could propagate via the mesh, since my power can be shut off with a signal from the provider how hard would it be to code a time bomb that
    A: Shuts off everyone's power at the same time, or
    B: Pulses the power on and off, what would this do to the grid?

    No other solution.

  18. I'll make it simple on Committee Offers Scenarios for Japan's Energy Future · · Score: 1

    Nuclear, because nothing else is going to run places like Tokyo.

    Start looking at the modern tech, I'm sure you will find your safe nuke tech because Japan has always been able to solve challenges.

  19. Bummer on Inside the Death of Palm and WebOS · · Score: 1

  22. Re:Treaspassing on Whose Cameras Are Watching New York Roads? · · Score: 1

    Behind at home, implying if you're off to do crime don't be stupid and take your cell with you or block the signals if you do.

  23. The first mistake on No Intelligent Aliens Detected In Gliese 581 · · Score: 1

    is having Australian's look for intelligence.

  24. Re:Treaspassing on Whose Cameras Are Watching New York Roads? · · Score: 1

    If you're trying to hide why would you even have your phone on you? That's how brain washed people are they can't bear to leave heir cells behind.
