  1. A Quandary on Study: An Evolutionary "Arms Race" Shaped the Human Genome · · Score: 4, Funny

    I know that since this is Slashdot, evolution = good, arms race = bad, so I don't know how to process the headline.

  2. Re:Of course it does. on Solar System's Water Is Older Than the Sun · · Score: 1

    Well I just made some water this morning, and I'm pretty sure it's not older than the sun. As a matter of fact there are some relatively young Rolling Rocks that predate it.

  3. Re:Emma Watson is full of it on Emma Watson Leaked Photo Threat Was a Plot To Attack 4chan · · Score: 4, Insightful

    False. Completely false. Why do you persist in this nonsense? Women, in the same career field as a man, almost always makes less. They only place it's close is in a wage controlled environments. Where a person doing X classification makes the same by contract. Even in those case women rise through the class slower then men. This is a real problem. Why does this scare you?.

    This is just not true. Once you factor in time & effort on the job, the gap nearly closes. Women choose to place domestic priorities higher than men. Why does this scare you?

  4. Re:The pot calling the kettle black on Obama Presses China On Global Warming · · Score: 1

    I like this guy.

  5. Re:is that an iPhone in your pocket? on Users Report Warping of Apple's iPhone 6 Plus · · Score: 2

    Bend different.

  6. Re:Good. IndieGoGo should do it too on Kickstarter Lays Down New Rules For When a Project Fails · · Score: 4, Funny

    But other than that, what have the Romans done for us?

  7. Re:DING DONG! on Oracle CEO Larry Ellison Steps Down · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tsk - it's called Myanmar Shave now.

  8. Re:Similar to "Runaround" in I, Robot... on Developing the First Law of Robotics · · Score: 1

    I have not yet read "Runaround". The story reminded me of the Star Trek: Voyager episode, Latent Image

    The Doctor eventually discovers a conspiracy by the crew to keep him from remembering events that led to the holographic equivalent of a psychotic break. The trouble started when a shuttlecraft was attacked, causing several casualties. The Doctor was faced with making a choice between two critically injured patients - Ensign Jetal and Ensign Kim - with an equal chance of survival, but a limited amount of time in which the Doctor could act, meaning that he had to choose which of the two to save. The Doctor happened to choose Ensign Harry Kim; Jetal died on the operating table. As time passed, the Doctor was overpowered by guilt, believing that his friendship with Harry somehow influenced his choice

  9. Re:Actually a good thing. on Kickstarter's Problem: You Have To Make the Game Before You Ask For Money · · Score: 1

    I agree. Some kind of prototype for computer games, or (physical) card, board, RPG, etc. games, should not be an undue burden.

  10. Re:um, ok. on Scientists Capture the Sound Made By a Single Atom · · Score: 1

    Maybe if it's a noble gas.

  11. Re:Is the brain even required for intellegence? on Massive Study Searching For Genes Behind Intelligence Finds Little · · Score: 1

    I would be afraid to tell him.

  12. Re:In other words nobody is born smart on Massive Study Searching For Genes Behind Intelligence Finds Little · · Score: 2

    I thought one of the most remarkable studies was the one that showed conjoined twins tend to live in the same city. That blew me away.

  13. Re:Words on Book Review: Architecting the Cloud · · Score: 1

    They're verbing again.

  14. Re:A body in motion etc. on Welcome To Laniakea, Our New Cosmic Home · · Score: 1

    It replaces the new grouping in much the same way Einstein replaced Newtonian mechanics.

    No it does not and that analogy is complete bullshit.

    Don't waste your precious analogies on Slashdot; they'll only be torn to pieces.

  15. Re:I like... on U.S. Senator: All Cops Should Wear Cameras · · Score: 1

    I like the idea, but this is not a federal government issue.

  16. Re:Are we, America, butthurt? on Fermilab Begins Testing Holographic Universe Theory · · Score: 1

    Yeah? Well you guys may have the LHC, but our cutting edge tech is run out of a trailer!

    And it may turn out to be a simulated trailer.

  17. Re:Here's the rub... on New HP Laptop Would Mean Windows at Chromebook Prices · · Score: 1

    And it's an HP.

  18. Re:Take the , on Fighting Invasive Fish With Forks and Knives · · Score: 1

    Henny Youngman : Take my , please!

  19. Re:$200MM on Samsung Buys Kickstarter-Funded Internet of Things Startup For $200MM · · Score: 1

    I think it's a Slashdot editor trying to spin 500rpm in an office chair and publish articles at the same time.

    Or 500RPMM.

  20. Re:So, such rules are bad for keeping people worki on California May Waive Environmental Rules For Tesla · · Score: 1

    AND ESPECIALLY RABBITS!

  21. Re:Good on Hotel Charges Guests $500 For Bad Online Reviews · · Score: 2

    I hated paying the $500, but it was totally to BURN them with my review!

  22. Re:Libertarians, discuss! on Hotel Charges Guests $500 For Bad Online Reviews · · Score: 1

    Take it easy there, Hit Girl!

  23. Re:Uh... on Barry Shein Founded the First Dialup ISP (Video) · · Score: 1

    And when it finally happened, that's the day that the Internet transformed from something great into the ghetto of spam, scams, and ads that it is today.

    Another great invention for the masses ruined by the masses.

  24. Re:Vaccine is coming on US Army To Transport American Ebola Victim To Atlanta Hospital From Liberia · · Score: 2

    I actually don't like this kind of race-baiting, but this is a joke:

    Experts: Ebola Vaccine At Least 50 White People Away

  25. Re:Wow ... on A 24-Year-Old Scammed Apple 42 Times In 16 Different States · · Score: 1

    Just like hacking* into the system in an 80s movie:

    PASSWORD?
    >> OVERRIDE PASSWORD

    ACCESS GRANTED

    * I know "cracking" is the preferred word among hackers; I just cannot bring myself to use it.
