  1. Re:Statistics on No, the Earth (almost Certainly) Won't Be Hit By an Asteroid In 2032 · · Score: 1

    not really, three percent of the earth land is covered by cities. but that is of 29% of earth covered by land. We'll thus probably go for hundreds of thousands of years before a city gets hit by "city-destroying" asteroid. boring.

  2. impossible on Elon Musk Making a Working Version of James Bond's Submersible Car · · Score: 1

    slashdot's software would never allow a post long enough to list the reasons why it is totally impossible to turn this car into a submarine. It is somewhat like my Dad's joke of "jack the radiator cap up and slide another vehicle under it".

  3. Re:Shouldn't the researchers... on No, Oreos Aren't As Addictive As Cocaine · · Score: 1

    my birth certificate doesn't say "rubycodez" on it

  4. Re:They do on Should Google Get Aggressive About Monetizing Android? · · Score: 1

    quite right, Google monetizes the users, they are product. Android is just one thing that helps monetize users, its a fish hook for various bait called apps.

    whomever wrote this article is clueless about Google's business model

  5. Re:Cookies on No, Oreos Aren't As Addictive As Cocaine · · Score: 1

    oxtail soup? bangers and mash? fried fish and "chips? we can't make fun of British cuisine, there is none to be found. just like British architecture. the other side of the channel they have gourmet food and beautiful buildings.

  6. Re:Shouldn't the researchers... on No, Oreos Aren't As Addictive As Cocaine · · Score: 1

    I'm not into uppers/stimulants. I'd rather do a line of oreos off a hookers ass any day of the week. but then, I'd rather do the hooker than the oreos. proving women are more addictive than cocaine or oreos

  7. Re:rice cakes on No, Oreos Aren't As Addictive As Cocaine · · Score: 1

    there are also good with cheese, jelly, tuna, other meat....not altogether at once. conclusion: rice cakes are making me fat

  8. Re:11 parts sugar, 89 parts lard on No, Oreos Aren't As Addictive As Cocaine · · Score: 1

    Half of "white sugar" in the USA is cane sugar which has to go through a filtering step (beet sugar does not) where it goes through activated charcoal. Half the time that charcoal is made from animal bone instead of plant matter. So there is 25% your bag of sugar was filtered through the carbon that came from bones. But quite frankly I'd argue to vegan that the plant itself grew from soil with animal matter in it anyway

  9. Re:(un)Fair and (un)Balanced on Uneven Enforcement Suspected At Nuclear Plants · · Score: 2

    what exactly happens? these are violations that pose very low risk. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (what NRC means in the industry, not your use of the initials) has an inspector and office in each and every plant. what "overseeing themselves" are you talking about?

  10. Re:Really on Oracle Attacks Open Source; Says Community-Developed Code Is Inferior · · Score: 1

    No, Linux is not the more stable and secure OS. the BSD do better in terms of evolving and testing rather than throwing in new bleeding edge tech all the time. And for real security and stability there are proprietray OS such as VMS (over 35 years old) that have much higher security ratings and more granular security.

  11. Re:FACT: Open Source is Usually Poorly Documented on Oracle Attacks Open Source; Says Community-Developed Code Is Inferior · · Score: 1

    Most of us that have looked at leaked windows code noticed how very bad and amateurish the code was, and how very poorly architected and inconsistent the system as a whole was. But there you are all excited over comments.

    "read the code, don't get suckered in by the comments". -- old saw

  12. Re:We're screwed. on Silicon Valley Stays Quiet As Washington Implodes · · Score: 1

    we probably only need one tenth the military to protect the homeland. projecting power and waging wars of choice is very expensive and gets hundreds of thousands of innocents killed. enough of that crap

  13. Re:real dichotomy on Silicon Valley Stays Quiet As Washington Implodes · · Score: 1

    you are naive and silly. you have been distracted by "hot button issues" that give the illusion of choice. both parties are megacorporate bitches. both parties are turning the USA into a police state. I'm criticizing your whole post because you watch the sideshow while the real threat closes its noose on you.

  14. Re:They get EVERYTHING wrong on Gravity: Can Film Ever Get the Science Right? · · Score: 1

    a pocket dimension of cryogenic liquid solves everything

  15. Gunpowder? on Dutch Police Recruit Rats To Sniff Out Crime · · Score: 1

    Is that a single, double or triple base gunpowder? Or black powder? be embarrassing to have the rats trained to find what the bad guy's aren't using in their pipe bomb.

  16. Re:New Season of Big Bang Theory on Scientific American In Blog Removal Controversy · · Score: 1

    click-whoring is promising some useful content but not delievering, only attracting clicks and views but giving very little or nothing in return.

  17. Re:The whole fucking summary is TROLL. on Obamacare Website Fixes Could Take Two Weeks Or Two Months · · Score: 1

    you're funny. Obama has violated more of the Constitution than even Bush and Cheney.

    It is "Obamacare", he used all his collateral to get that mess passed. He and the Democrat Congress owns it. And it's already failing.

  18. Re:Waste of money on Fighting the Number-One Killer In the US With Data · · Score: 1

    They probably consume much less soda pop (and not high fructose corn syrup in lieu of cane sugar), but french use love sugar in their baked goods. they also drink a lot of wine. maybe the wine explains something

  19. Re:New Season of Big Bang Theory on Scientific American In Blog Removal Controversy · · Score: 5, Funny

    so Biology-online is mostly what we'd call an urban click-whore?

  20. Re:Old age is a killer on Fighting the Number-One Killer In the US With Data · · Score: 1

    why bother with the suicides and homicides when the accidental death rate is more than 2.5x either one?

  21. Re:Waste of money on Fighting the Number-One Killer In the US With Data · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Utter rubbish. The French eat meat and have a high fat diet, but have a very low incidence of heart problems

    Your link is to a fad-diet site.

    wrong. if your check box is off that merely means you disabled it prior to this announcement, probably when you joined, but look it up, FACT the default has always been for that setting to be ON when you joined gooogle+. it is ON by default..
