  1. Re:the bat on Ask Slashdot: The Very Best Paper Airplane? · · Score: 1

    hm throwing from a building, that's a great idea.

  2. the bat on Ask Slashdot: The Very Best Paper Airplane? · · Score: 5, Informative

    http://www.instructables.com/id/Awesome-paper-plane!!/

    due to its erratic flight, it let you use the full gymnasium, much more exciting than anything that flew in a straight line....

  3. Re:There should be a law... on F-18 Fighter Jet Crashes Into Virginia Apartment Complex · · Score: 1

    Early reports indicate the pilot was tweeting while coming in for a landing...

    just because it sounds like a bird doesn't mean it....

  4. we need this to happen more often on TSA Shuts Down Airport, Detains 11 After "Science Project" Found · · Score: 1

    to show how useless TSA is.

  5. Re:Soooo ... "exposed wires"? on TSA Shuts Down Airport, Detains 11 After "Science Project" Found · · Score: 3, Funny

    pshaw, I've seen movies, kid, movies with explosive devices. They always look electronic and have exposed wires. Usually you cut the blue one.

  6. Re:Son, you are SO fucking grounded! on TSA Shuts Down Airport, Detains 11 After "Science Project" Found · · Score: 1

    AND TEH PLANES. I am GROUNDING THE PLANES until further notices. Because I am their parent too I can ground them :D

  7. Re:why do you have a northern accent? on Why Are Fantasy World Accents British? · · Score: 1

    Lots of planets have a North*!

    *Arguably, this one could go either way.

    (Doctor Who and grammar. We all need our little obsessions.)

    no then it would be a 'south'

  8. Re:trashing Christians is your only comment on thi on NASA's Kepler Discovers 11 Systems Hosting 26 Planets · · Score: 4, Insightful

    this is one of the reasons slashdot doesn't garner the traffic it used to. People don't care if you're pissed off at christians, in fact they find the incessant complaining quite obnoxious.

  9. Get over it on NASA's Kepler Discovers 11 Systems Hosting 26 Planets · · Score: 2

    the only thing more annoying than the fundamentalist arguments are the people who complain about them.
    Seriously, it's why reddit has an Atheism section where all that shit goes, so that people can remove it from their list of subscriptions. People are tired of hearing you're pissed off. You don't matter that much. Get over it.

  10. If it's in the sky you can build an antennae on The Pirate Bay Plans Servers In the Sky · · Score: 1

    and connect to it.

  11. push it to the cloud on The Pirate Bay Plans Servers In the Sky · · Score: 1

    I wish there was a -1 retarded mod because you, sir, are a fucking retard.

    you want more clouds they help you virtualize

  12. Re:Music on Government Should Ban Skinny Models To Curb Anorexia, Say Researchers · · Score: 1

    The problem is not that these body images are harmful, but that girls are trained to think that their appearance is their most important attribute.

    This is not improving, this shallow culture is being promoted to men and boys as well, perhaps in order to stave off charges of sexism, but more likely it's just a realisation within these cosmetic and fashion industries that they are missing out on a potential market.

    nobody likes looking at a fat ugly person. Someone more attractive ATTRACTs attention to the advertisement.
    No conspiracy here folks move along...this is a flametrollbait article...

  13. Re:OPT OUT on Female Passengers Say They Were Targeted For TSA Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    hahahahaha.

    Linking to Fox News is only not credible if what Fox News is reporting is not credible.

    wait, what? never heard that one before.

  14. legislation and free market on Flash Memory, Not Networks, Hamper Smartphones Most · · Score: 1

    At some point in the future your legislation would be a good thing but for now the only reason AT&T has dumped ~$10B into upgrading their network in the last 6 months to a year is because there are people willing to pay the $80/month.
    Once we hit LTE-Advanced (1gbit/s from tower to stationary devices...shared between all devices but 1gbit/s between 250 devices is still 4mbit/s which is plenty fast for even HD netflix) we'll see the return of unlimited data, until then these $80-100 plans are financing the rapid progression towards this cellular singularity.

  15. Re:Choose two... on Flash Memory, Not Networks, Hamper Smartphones Most · · Score: 1

    apple chooses all 3 at the expensive of some other ones you didn't list like "openness" or "freeness" or something

  16. Re:Cut back a little on Flash Memory, Not Networks, Hamper Smartphones Most · · Score: 1

    DDR3-1600 latencies are twice that of DDR2-800 latencies because the clock speed is twice as fast.

  17. Re:A truly stupid comparison on Flash Memory, Not Networks, Hamper Smartphones Most · · Score: 1

    Not even close to correct.

    snarkiness like that makes slashdot a sore to read, and the author probably a sore in real life as well. Can't we all be more polite?

  18. television on Man Digs Out Basement Using Radio Controlled Toy Tractors · · Score: 1

    people have too much entertainment these days to go around being productive doing things like this.

  19. Re:Look we are all the same, expect for them and . on Global Christianity and the Rise of the Cellphone · · Score: 1

    the system architecture is largely the same, only difference being in the words chosen in presentation of the stories. Minor UI differences.

  20. Re:Bible translation is already a big help on Global Christianity and the Rise of the Cellphone · · Score: 0

    What? Christians are evil and there's no way they're doing anything beneficial for the world such as bringing reading/writing education to aborigine tribes.

  21. they actually pushed as far north as Spain on Global Christianity and the Rise of the Cellphone · · Score: 0

    (coming across Gibraltor of course).
    This is well known among the educated academic community to have been one of the main reasons that the Catholic Church went on the Crusades. Justifies it? No. Makes your Christians seem less crazy? Yeah.

  22. Re:My guess on Eye of Tiger Composer Sues Gingrich To Stop Campaign From Using Song · · Score: 1

    Beyond that, someone has achieved the owning of ideas and expression. That was never the goal.

    Yes, actually, it was.

  23. Re:Arrested for knowledge? WTF? on Man Who Downloaded Bomb Recipes Jailed For 2 Years · · Score: 1

    considering how much people love government and the free stuff it gives them, I find your comment funny.

  24. Re:Arrested for knowledge? WTF? on Man Who Downloaded Bomb Recipes Jailed For 2 Years · · Score: 1

    right, if there were a plan he would be in prison for life.
    As it is he's only in for a couple years.

    why wouldn't they have done this already?
