  1. Change is bad. Tom Lehrer on Shapeshifting: Proposal For a New Periodic Table of the Elements · · Score: 1

    will have to revise his elements song. And you'll now have to sing it in rounds.

  2. Turtles on Ask Slashdot: What Will IT Departments Look Like In 5 Years? · · Score: 4, Funny

    all the way down.

  3. Double Take on Saudi Arabia Blocks Viber Messaging Service · · Score: 1

    I originally read the article title as "Saudi Arabia Blocks Vibrator Messaging Service".

  4. A 90 Day Erection on Chinese Firm Approved To Raise World's Tallest Building In 90 Days · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is something to be wary of.

  5. Augmented reality? on Space Diving: Iron Man Meets Star Trek Suit In Development · · Score: 4, Funny

    You're hurtling to your demise at past the speed of sound in atmospheric conditions that would literally make your blood boil. How much more extra sense of realism and stimulation do you need at that point?

  6. The ultimate laissez faire capitalist technology on Bitcoin's Success With Investors Alienates Earliest Adopters · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is selling out to the highest bidder. How dare they.

  7. Re:Aw,... on Hubble Discovers 'Planetary Graveyard' Around White Dwarf · · Score: 1

    I have a bad feeling about this...

  8. Now cash-strapped students on Coursera Partners With Chegg To Offer Gratis, DRMed Textbooks for Courses · · Score: 1

    Can throw a chegger.

  9. If the audience is VC's on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Sell an Algorithm To Venture Capitalists? · · Score: 1

    There would be exactly one powerpoint slide that goes something like this:

    1. Take the consumer's crappy video.
    2. Run it through our patent pending thingy and make it look nice.
    3. Profit!

  10. Girlfriends on Interview: Ask John McAfee What You Will · · Score: 2

    Is having two simultaneous girlfriends as awesome as it sounds?

  11. Simple solution on U.S. Senate's Big Immigration Bill Seeks Centralized Database For H-1B Jobs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why not just mandate a H1B be paid at least $100,000 a year, no exceptions. If they're really so good, they deserve the money and $100k would be a bargain.

  12. Re:We're all going to die! on Organic Pollutants Poison the Roof of the World · · Score: 1

    Don't panic. Just know where your global-sized organic compound absorbent towel is.

  13. Spain on Iran Plans To Launch an 'Islamic Google Earth' · · Score: 1

    So will Spain be replaced by the Caliphate of Córdoba?

  14. Moral of the story on IRS Can Read Your Email Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    Be careful about what you put into writing; if it will be read your bestest friend, it will also be read worstest enemy. Tried and true security strategy used for millennia.

  15. Because you need that addiction on Firing a Laser Into Your Brain Could Help Beat a Drug Addiction · · Score: 1

    Like you need a hole in the head.

  16. Re:Alternate headline on The RFP and IT Logistics For Washington's "Pot Czar" · · Score: 1

    Joint pot czar cloud workflow leaves $7800 up in smoke.

  17. What is the advantage of this on Yahoo Buys UK Teen's Smartphone News App · · Score: 1

    As opposed to a news corporation dutifully maintaining a good RSS feed?

  18. DDOS vulnerability on Should Congress Telecommute? · · Score: 1

    If congress can stage DDOS attacks against itself, why shouldn't it add telecommuting to its repertoire?

  19. Re:Just wait for the news media to pick this up. on Growing Consensus: The Higgs Boson Exists · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd prefer to hear about a truce between ardent atheists and fundamentalists where the former stops trying to disprove the existence of a divine creator and the latter stops trying to ban the teaching of evolution.

  20. As Seen On TV on NASA Restarts Plutonium Production · · Score: 2

    Maybe if NASA is really good Santa will bring them some plutonium.

  21. Perhaps Douglas Adams Was Right on Ukrainian Attack Dolphins Are On the Loose · · Score: 2

    Apparently they swam away from their trainers ostensibly in search of a 'mate"' out in open waters.

    Dolphins make love, not war. Mabye they really are the smartest creatures on earth.

  22. Re:3 days on Japan Extracts Natural Gas From Frozen Methane Hydrate · · Score: 1

    Frozen methane is already melting due to global warming and is theorized to greatly accelerate the global warming process. Making using of the stuff and burning it is probably more environmentally friendly than just leaving it there.

  23. My first thought on Defcad.com Wants To Be the Google of 3D-Printable Guns · · Score: 4, Funny

    is who would name their kid "Code". My second thought is "duh, I'm on Slashdot".

  24. A matter of taste on Scientists Grow Replacement Human Teeth In Mouse Kidneys · · Score: 1

    Would the teeth be considered less disgusting if they were grown in a cow's buttocks? Besides, plenty of people in western culture eat kidneys already. Your steak and kidney pie will probably taste better coming off of a fork with teeth than coming out of a straw.

  25. Re:Export Controlled Tools on Swimming With Spacemen In NASA's Giant NBL Pool · · Score: 1

    "As for the rest of the astronauts' tools"

    Don't go there, girlfriend.
