  1. Re:Look at the source on AAPS Doctors Run Survey On Hillary Clinton's Health (prnewswire.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I thought when I saw it was AAPS.

  2. Wrong question on Slashdot Asks: Have You Experienced Ageism? (observer.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course everyone over a certain age in today's corporate culture has experienced ageism. The question is do you realize you've experienced ageism?

  3. Re:Signalling on For Businesses, the College Degree Is the New High School Diploma · · Score: 1

    It also decreases the intelligence required to be that "person looking to hire."

  4. Re:Gasoline is an Imported Commodity on Gas Prices Jump; California Hardest Hit · · Score: 1

    Although this obviously made a good platform for you to launch a tangential rant, this happens to be a case where supply and demand are at work. There was a pipeline problem and there was an electrical power failure to a refinery, the combination of which has left CA with a short term gasoline supply shortage. It also appears you have no idea that the three QEs are fundamentally different and have had little impact on oil futures prices compared to the essentially negative interest rates now offered on government bonds.

  5. Here's my surprised face on Fox News Ties 'Flame' Malware To Angry Birds · · Score: 1

    What? Fox "News" misleads its viewers with a story filled with misinformation and innuendo? I'm shocked! SHOCKED I tell you!

  6. Re:Show me the money on Groupon Not Doing So Well On Wall Street · · Score: 2

    There is nothing on the horizon for them that can pump up the price short of people (new suckers) thinking they'll get to flip it to someone else.

    Congratulations. You've just defined Wall Street in a nutshell.

  7. Re:Automated job killing on US Military Moving Closer To Automated Killing · · Score: 1

    Killing job job killing robots?

  8. We're doomed on Malware Is a Disease; Let's Treat It Like One · · Score: 2

    When you're too stupid to properly name the problem you're trying to address then just BOAKYAG. I doubt there has been any threat from a virus in a decade; today's threats are trojans and worms.

  9. This just in! on Apple Camera Patent Lets External Transmitters Disable Features · · Score: 1

    Apple patents the infrared remote control. Film at 11.

  10. Even more obvious question on Are Graphical Calculators Pointless? · · Score: 1

    Why are we teaching students how to use calculators?

  11. Beat by TV? on Workers Will Smash Their PCs To Get an Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Wasn't this already covered this season on The Office?

  12. YAMH on 30 Years To Clean Up Fukushima Dai-Ichi · · Score: 0

    The headline is quite misleading. It won't take 30 years to "clean up", it'll take 30 years to scrap the plant. "Clean up" will take, oh, a thousand times as long.

  13. Re:Nuclear economics on 30 Years To Clean Up Fukushima Dai-Ichi · · Score: 2

    I for one am convinced. If it appears in a blog on Typepad then it must be true.

  14. Re:goatse g oatse go atse goa tse goat se goats e on 30 Years To Clean Up Fukushima Dai-Ichi · · Score: 1

    You're just itchin' to see Tokyo destroyed for real aren't you?

  15. Re:Summary is wrong. on Google Pulls 21 Malware Apps From Android Market · · Score: 1

    It's trying to install its partner, "dice-it".

  16. Are we still beatin' that horse? on How Your Username May Betray You · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Give it up. Privacy is gone.

  17. Re:Hmmmmm on Why Published Research Findings Are Often False · · Score: 1

    There's a difference between statistics and repeatability. If you can't produce the same result repeatably on demand then it ain't science.

  18. Obvious to the most casual observer on Crookes, RIAA, MPAA, ICE — 'Linking Is Publishing' · · Score: 1

    Fascism is as fascism does.

  19. Surprise, surprise on IE6 Addiction Inhibits Windows 7 Migrations · · Score: 1

    That's what happens when you write to the browser rather than writing to the standards. We've never had that problem because we write to the standards then tweak to IE.

  20. Re:Correlation Causation on Study Shows People In Power Make Better Liars · · Score: 1

    For some reason people will always believe what they want to hear.

    As Paul Simon famously asserted, "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."

  21. Re:TiVo invented timeshifting? on The Sad History and (Possibly) Bright Future of TiVo · · Score: 1

    I "time shifted" the audio portion of the Ed Sullivan show the night the Beatles first appeared by setting up my reel-to-reel with a microphone in front of the TV set speaker. Why do that? Well, being (a child of) a good Southern Baptist, I was at church at the time.

  22. Re:TiVo invented timeshifting? on The Sad History and (Possibly) Bright Future of TiVo · · Score: 1

    Just a quibble (that's what /.'s for, right?). JVC didn't copy Sony. The companies worked together to create working conceptual models and VHS was the first version. Beta was the second, hence the name.

  23. Re:-1 Troll and Uninsightful on Health Insurance When Leaving the Corporate World? · · Score: 1

    This guy is not going to move out of the USA simply because of health insurance.

    Some people do. E.g. the daughter of the guy that flew his plane into the IRS building in Austin.

  24. Maybe I'm missing something on Suggestions For a Coax-To-Ethernet Solution? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Why not just use the existing coax to pull cat5 into place?

  25. End of Twitter? on Two Scoops of Buzz · · Score: 1

    We can only hope.
