  1. Re:Does anyone find it strange on Profile of a Real-Life Jedi Academy · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia... http://criticalbelievers.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=mma&action=display&thread=11373

    Scroll past the Kiai master vs MMA video for the equally retarded Russian equivalent.

  2. Re:Whatever happened to cat captcha? on Researchers Break Video CAPTCHAs · · Score: 1

    You'd need a lot of pictures and videos of cats. Good luck finding that on the internet!

  3. Re:Cyberbullying on Is Santorum's "Google Problem" a Google Problem? · · Score: 1

    No, I think blowback is correct. The more forceful blowback, the more santorum there is.

  4. Re:On the other hand, it killed community cinephil on Tapeheads and the Quiet Return of VHS · · Score: 0

    Going to a cinema like this is like going to a jazz club. You won't get the usual crowd of idiots, but likely have a great opportunity to meet some interesting people and have an intelligent conversation.

    Oooooh, so the jazz (or "music") is played as if someone hooked up a saxophone to a horse and tortured it to keep out the kids? It makes so much sense!

  5. Re:Curious on Ask Slashdot: Are Daily Stand-Up Meetings More Productive? · · Score: 1

    You could be even more productive by combining 3 and 4.

  6. Re:Health issue is a red herring on Maine Senator Wants Independent Study of TSA's Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    Can't we do both?

  7. Re:Technically, they're not U-2s anymore... on Aging U-2 Will Fight On Into the Next Decade · · Score: 2

    I prefer a more overt posterior.

  8. Re:They're going to frack a Volcano? on Pouring Water Into a Volcano To Generate Power · · Score: 2

    Uh... because nuclear reactors can be designed, modeled, and tested top to bottom and that's a rather hard thing to do with a volcano to ensure safety?

  9. This is what the Mayans predicted! on Symantec Looks Into Claims of Stolen Source Code · · Score: 1

    Computers all over the world will be infected with Norton by December and human civilization as we know it will cease to exist!

  10. Re:While we're at it... on Is Twitter Aiding and Abetting Terrorism? · · Score: 1

    You forgot God for creating them.

  11. Re:This is good on New Record High Temperature At South Pole · · Score: 1

    So... will it be a new country or a new US state?

  12. Re:as an American... on New Record High Temperature At South Pole · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Oh man! Thank GOD you beat that addiction. Fan dependence and ODing is a serious problem! Just ask any South Korean!

  13. Re:In a nutshell: on Christmas Always On Sunday? Researchers Propose New Calendar · · Score: 1

    You're missing the upside: actually being able to get news that day.

  14. Re:Occam's Razor on Was Russia Behind Stuxnet? · · Score: 1

    Unless Russia tested it in Israel. OoooOOOOOooooh...

  15. Re:11 Billion on Voyager 1 Exits Our Solar System · · Score: 1

    It's been a while since I took a math class but that's just 1.4^0^3 miles away! Oh, you exaggerator.

  16. Followed by weaponization? on Vaccine Developed Against Ebola · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I mean, sure, it's against some big ol' treaties but wouldn't the first step be to nullify its effect on your own troops/people?

    [/conspiracy]

  17. Re:It's human nature. on IEA Warns of Irreversible Climate Change In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    True that capitalism isn't at fault as much as nature. We found easy energy and gobbled it up like a puppy that found the 50 lb sack of kibble. That dog reproduced through mitosis so much that the house has become filled to brim and now those puppies are feeding on each other and shitting everywhere. It's only a matter of time before the owners come home and just set the whole thing on fire.

    I forget where I was going with this analogy.

  18. Re:great example of how on Google Tweaks Algorithm As Concern Over Bing Grows · · Score: 1

    I'm not so sure. Sometimes when I get a bug in brain where I remember part of something, probably out of the news, and only have a couple key words. I google and can't get anything out of the news older than six months.

    Then there's the live searches, website previews on mouseover, and other Bing shit Google copied that they shouldn't have bothered with.

  19. Re:Wait a minute... on The Weight of an e-Book · · Score: 2

    You mean the iTruck?

  20. Re:up the food chain on Fish Evolve Immunity To Toxic Sludge · · Score: 1

    Or the next link's numbers will be impacted depending on how much of their diet is from the fish.

  21. Re:What the hell is wrong with this country? on Weaponizable Police UAV Now Operational In Texas · · Score: 1

    The majority may not be thugs but they don't try to control, change, or oust them.

  22. Re:Sensationalist? I strongly disagree on How Microsoft Can Lock Linux Off Windows 8 PCs · · Score: 1

    Look, Microsoft is doing a far more good by killing of the boot-time rootkits.

    Far more good than what? You left unmentioned what other action Microsoft is doing you were (inadvertently?) comparing this to.

  23. Re:Bing Cashback on Microsoft Has Lost $5.5 Billion On Bing Since 2009 · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there some hoopla about websites giving different prices based on the Bing Cashback program? You know, being more expensive?

  24. Re:AR MMORG on Neal Stephenson Says Video Games Are the Metaverse · · Score: 1

    People are already wandering around, not paying attention, and getting in serious trouble with just text messages. That said, I doubt "active" playing will take off until it's either like holodeck but I imagine that a matrix like system would be more likely.

  25. Re:Can we have the same thing for government? on Senators Slam Firm For Online Background Check · · Score: 1

    You bring up a good point. Not only should the interviewer come clean but we need background checks and social media reports on employees of the company doing the screening. Maybe their values and social life doesn't match the company that hired them!
