  1. Ob on Vote To Eliminate Leap Seconds · · Score: 1

    The proposal calls for a 'leap-hour' in about 600 years
    So we should have had around ten so far?
  2. Re:Not to mention... on 10 Great Snake-Oil Gadgets · · Score: 1

    the problem is to find one of the aforementioned phd chicks dumb enough
    It is possible to do a PhD in that arts, er, I mean social sciences

    Dyed in the wool materialists
    The phrase you're looking for is "sane people".

    Or, more to the point, the ones who have big boobies?

  5. Bennett Haselton on Judge Rules That I Own Slashdot · · Score: 1, Funny

    Am I the only one who thinks the name Bennett Haselton sounds like a hedge fund, or maybe a purveyor of fine quality marmalades which grace the breakfast tables of the discerning?

  6. Re:About Bloody Time on Losing Personal Info On A Laptop Could Get You Charged · · Score: 1

    Government spending provides crappier roads.
    Crappier than all the ones you've built?
  7. Re:About Bloody Time on Losing Personal Info On A Laptop Could Get You Charged · · Score: 1

    Personally, I've lost more flash sticks than I can count.
    You probably dropped them in the fryer.
  8. Re:Tesla won but... on The Last DC Power Grid Shut Down in NYC · · Score: 1

    Each individual sentence is fine, but they simply don't make sense as a whole. I'm not even sure what you're trying to say. I suspect you don't have a clue what the post you're replying to said.

    To go with your biological analogy, it seems nature didn't select for one or the other; most higher animals have males and females - perhaps business needs geeks and suits?

  9. Re:uh on The Last DC Power Grid Shut Down in NYC · · Score: 1

    A republic is where everyone votes but the power and law are implemented by representatives.
    Britain is a republic? So who's that woman who keeps appearing on TV with all the hats?
  10. Re:uh on The Last DC Power Grid Shut Down in NYC · · Score: 1

    Capitalism is the system where man exploits man ... Socialism however is the other way around.
    In Soviet Russia ... nah, I'll let someone else do it.

    You can have a 10,000 volt current and it won't kill you if there is no amperage.
    That could only occur if you had infinite ohmitude.
  12. Re:This will on New York's Slap to the Facebook · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you should look up 'dead' and 'incarcerated' before making stupid comments. You could also try and explain how someone in either of those conditions is able to reoffend.

  13. Re:one problem on A Giant Step in Cloning · · Score: 2, Funny

    Reminder to self: Breathe in. To Do. Cause stomach muscles to pulsate. Reminder to self: Breathe out. OMG!!!!, Atria contract, venticles contract, atria contract, ventricles contract. That was close! What was I doing again? Oh yes, Reminder to self: Breathe in, breathe out.

  14. Re:Technology Worth It? on Meshnet Digital Armor To Protect Tanks · · Score: 1

    AFAIK Israel doesn't really want Lebanon or other countries
    If they'd wanted them, they'd have had them 20 years ago.
  15. Re:Birds on Telegraph Wires on Hidden Music Claimed In Da Vinci Painting · · Score: 1

    Except I don't live in the US, so chances are I don't watch PBS. I have visited, but I didn't really watch much TV (surprise, it's not what I went for), and I'm pretty certain I read, rather than saw it.

    I suppose, in a way, it's a fairly obvious idea and more than one person could have used it [insert your own comment on IP law here]

  16. Re:This will on New York's Slap to the Facebook · · Score: 1

    sex offenders have the second lowest recidivism rate of convicted offenders in the US; murderers being the lowest.
    Perhaps that's due to the fact that they often die in the slammer, either as a result of natural causes during a very long sentence or sitting in the plug-in armchair?
  17. Re:This will on New York's Slap to the Facebook · · Score: 1

    for some reason or other, after spending years in jail, with a child molestation credit on your rap sheet, you are more likely to get into fights...
    A shame, and completely avoidable; all you had to do was to not fuck a baby in the first place.
  18. Re:Let me play "Devil's Advocate" on that one... on New York's Slap to the Facebook · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    accessibility of this media is growing at an exponential rate.
    It is? Care to provide the equation?

    Or is it possible that in reality it's just growing fast, and you wanted to look clever?
  19. Re:So... on GOOG-411's "Biddy-Biddy-Boop" Sound Backstory · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sorry...
    You cannot view this page because this group has exceeded its bandwidth quota.
    It sounds fairly slashdotted to me...

  20. Re:Why are slashdotters on Hidden Music Claimed In Da Vinci Painting · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have an idea in my head, whenever I see birds on telegraph wires (it's on the Lotus Notes splash screen), that some composer saw the notes he wanted from the pattern they made, but I cannot find a reference for it. Google, of course, just brings up loads of Leonard Cohen hits. Anyone know the piece in question or am I just a crackpot?

  21. Re:Money... on NASA Knows How To Party · · Score: 1

    Updating every few years is not a bad thing.
    Does that much change at the basic level? We're talking highschool here; physics is F=ma, not string theory.

    Printing the books is, however.
    Couldn't they just send out stickers every year to update the obsolete information? 6001, 6002 ...

  22. Re:The question we're all thinking. on Babelfish Sparks Minor Diplomatic Row · · Score: 1

    So what's Dutch for "Oy vey already"?

  23. Re:No sympathy for Ghery in Minneapolis on MIT Sues Frank Gehry Over Buggy $300M CS Building · · Score: 1

    Oh, and about the skin.. it's badly wrinkled, due to "unforeseen" issues with thermal expansion and contraction.
    Hey, don't be so harsh. Aluminium's tricky stuff. Even spelling it's an effort! And who could have known that Minneapolis has temperature variations - after all, cold and really cold are both cold, aren't they?
  24. Re:architects vs civil engineers on MIT Sues Frank Gehry Over Buggy $300M CS Building · · Score: 1

    Trouble is, architects (being, you know, creative types) don't like having their visions constrained by mundane concers such as Young's moduli or tensile strengths or gravity. Those are for square old daddies.

  25. Re:Food? on Chefs As Chemists · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Assuming the order is greatest quantity first, woukd you expect the actual food to be in the top half?
