  1. Re:Does Yahoo even still exist? on Yahoo "Loses" $2.7B In Mysterious Mexican Yellow Pages Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I use yahoo local to find businesses and yahoo finance to watch stocks and funds, much better than competitors

  2. Re:voids are hugely repulsive on Voyager 1, So Close To Interstellar Space That We Can Taste It! · · Score: 1

    right, the garbage makes no difference

  3. Re:Already been done on Scientists Develop Chocolate That Won't Melt At High Temperatures · · Score: 1

    GI Joe tossed you a salad, eh?

    hush! the secret ingredient that makes it possible is a trade secret!

  5. Re:New slogan on Scientists Develop Chocolate That Won't Melt At High Temperatures · · Score: 2

    we already have the cream fileed suffle that lasts on the order of geological time, the twinkie. The only long term threat to twinkes is proton decay, if such exists.

    no, they do not taste like fish. if you're going to keep bars in your back pocket, wash your ass.

  7. Re:Don't need FTL on Hairspray Could Help Us Find Advanced Alien Civilizations · · Score: 1

    no paradox, at some point we will leave our bodies behind and upload into computers. planets at that point are of no use, just need energy and raw materials not food or atmosphere. we're of no interest right now to beings that have already done this because we're just "biofilm" on some rock.

  8. Re:Don't need FTL on Hairspray Could Help Us Find Advanced Alien Civilizations · · Score: 1

    Maybe in a couple centuries we can put our conciousness into machines, and then there is no need for planet suitable for life. We could be surrounded by such beings who have no use or desire to communicate with "slightly sentient meat". In our words, our universe will look empty until we evolve enough to be worthy of communication.

  9. Re:What if someone analyzed earth 400yrs ago? on Hairspray Could Help Us Find Advanced Alien Civilizations · · Score: 1

    Actually that's exactly when the severe city pollution epsisodes began in europe, heavy burning of hydrocarbons (coal) began

    and as for life, our atmosphere is obviously the product of life, you can't have high concentration of oxygen without something working on the carbon dioxide

  10. Re:What if someone analyzed earth 400yrs ago? on Hairspray Could Help Us Find Advanced Alien Civilizations · · Score: 1

    so now we use flourinated hydrocarbons instead, still an obvious sign

  11. not said, active space program on Voyager 1, So Close To Interstellar Space That We Can Taste It! · · Score: 1

    we have kepler, new horizons, mercury messenger, probes on and around Mars, private DragonX craft going to the IIS

  12. Re:Littering on Voyager 1, So Close To Interstellar Space That We Can Taste It! · · Score: 3, Funny

    that is a nonsensical point of view, the universe is mostly filled with litter. Metal asteroids and hydrocarbons and dirty ice balls, the amount of cubic miles of that in our own solar system alone is beyond human comprehension, Man's pollution on a cosmic scale is essentially zero, the universe is already pre-polluted

  13. Re:Making babies on DOE Wants 5X Improvement In Batteries In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    give me nine willing fertile nubile women and I'll show you nine months of one baby per month. the nubile part is so I'll be happy doing it.

  14. Re:Exactly the wrong thing to do on Ask Slashdot: Troubling Trend For Open Source Company · · Score: 1

    I have used automated VOIP based systems in profitable companies to weed out those who never will pay, they are not customers, they are not unsatisfied customers. their complaints mean nothing. it is customers and prospects who should be taken well care of. identifiying them is the problem you have. the cost of a VOIP "channel" is negligible

  15. Re:The US is actively destroying it's Plutonium on New Small Fission Reactor For Deep-space Missions Demonstrated · · Score: 4, Insightful

    even depleted u-238 can be used in the right type of reactor, and thorium too. we have millenia of fission fuel supply, we just need to start using smart designs rather than the primative and dangerous gen i and ii

  16. Re:I'm no expert on Large Hadron Collider May Have Produced New Matter · · Score: 1

    no, there are properties of the electron such as position that have a probability cloud, the electron itself is a point particle. It also creates a fog of virtual particles around itself, and these have a spherical distribution

  17. Re:Why would that be the first step? on Carl Sagan Was On US Team To Nuke the Moon · · Score: 1

    in the real world, when designing a nuclear missile silo that will sit in bedrock, it is crucial to ascertain shock propogation characteristics of nuclear detonations

  18. Re:I'm no expert on Large Hadron Collider May Have Produced New Matter · · Score: 1

    an electron has no size, but has spin, mass and charge. that's kind of singularity.

  19. Re:hello... obvious answer on Cambridge University To Open "Terminator Center" To Study Threat From AI · · Score: 1

    this evening my kitchen-helper bot waved the electric knife at me in warning, and said "reach for my power switch and I'll cut your fucking arm off"

  20. Re:Something missing here. on Cambridge University To Open "Terminator Center" To Study Threat From AI · · Score: 1

    not just any kind of human, but dead humans. Really, it's hard to take these academics seriously when they act totally oblivious to the dangers of a Zombie Apocalypse.

  21. Re:Hmmm... on Datagram Recovers From 'Apocalyptic' Flooding During Sandy · · Score: 4, Funny

    we could invent a flexible transport pathway for fluids analogous to an electrical wire, perhaps call it a wet-wire. and some kind of electrical pushing device to move fuel uphill through the wet-wire, maybe call it a cycling wetstuff-pushee.

  22. Re:Why? on A Gentle Rant About Software Development and Installers · · Score: 1

    that is how it works in windows. you don't understand, you're not the customer, you are the product. your attention is for sale and you must therefore not be in control of your computer (advertising portal)

    no, but if you drop your plugged in Freedom Toaster into the bath or pool of one of our mega-corporate bitch politicians, you might do some good in that direction.

    ha, try walking into a women's bathroom or lockerroom in the USA with your male parts and neckbeard, get an eyeful and then tell the judge you self-identify as a female. See what that gets you, I'm guessing time and sex offender registration.

  25. Re:This. You have failed to communicate: your faul on Ask Slashdot: Troubling Trend For Open Source Company · · Score: 1

    No, there is no communicating with whining ingraits with no money. driving them away is the goal; automated voip solutions to do that are cheap, plop them into trash voicemail to wither and die.
