  1. Re:For the love of VIDEO... on A Credit Card-Sized, Arduino-Based Game Device (Video) · · Score: 2

    What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?

  2. My next car? on Will Your Next Car Be Covered In Morphing Dimples? · · Score: 1

    Since my next car is likely to be a mid-2000s sedan, probably not.

  3. Re:soddering on Researchers Successfully Cut HIV DNA Out of Human Cells · · Score: 1

    I think I've soldiered through this thread long enough.

    May be a few Americans lining up for that job...

  5. Re:Sometimes I am jealous on China Plans Particle Colliders That Would Dwarf CERN's LHC · · Score: 1

    Funny thing is, journalist Thomas Friedman is jealous of China's "one party autocracy." Except he would use it in America to unilaterally shut down industries he sees as contributing heavily to AGW.

  6. Re:a question.... on Oso Disaster Had Its Roots In Earlier Landslides · · Score: 1

    Sorry, if I can't blame Republicans or corporations, I'm outta this topic.

  7. Re:Climate Change on Slashdot? Bring on the fun! on Blueprints For Taming the Climate Crisis · · Score: 1

    However, more interesting is the idea that every new car sold in America will be electric. For that to happen, it would mean electric cars are cost competitive with gasoline cars. I can't see from the paper why they think it will happen within that timeframe.

    Nope. Obama just issues an executive order, Congress sits on its hands, and John Roberts declares it a "tax", and we're done!

    As long as Pauly Shore doesn't get locked in.

    In that case all you have to do is reverse the polarity... Then the universe fills up like a balloon and... something bad happens!

  10. Re:yes but...yes in fact. on Wireless Contraception · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'd boycott Hobby Lobby, but we never shop there anyway...

    Why don't you boycott the Supreme Court? That's what I've been recommending to all my liberal/progressive friends.

  11. Re:What if we include dead programmers? on The World's Best Living Programmers · · Score: 2

    No, their productivity has slumped precipitously since certain life events.

  12. Re:Dupe... on YouTube Issuing "Report Cards" On Carriers' Streaming Speeds · · Score: 1

    Can anyone submit anything and it gets onto the feed, or do you have to include special keywords?

    Hah, I dunno! My last two submissions have been accepted, though. I don't have any special help that I know of.

    Submitter here... let me apologize, it was submitted in ignorance. I just saw the story today.

  14. Re:Blaming Google on Following EU Ruling, BBC Article Excluded From Google Searches · · Score: 2

    You should let Alcoa know. Pretty embarrassing having the the name of one of their corporate directors wrong.

    They can always ask for it to be removed.

    Thank you for a non-smartass answer.

    I would be delighted if it were.

  17. Re:But now... on U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Religious Objections To Contraception · · Score: 1

    People should remember what Citizens United v. FEC was about : they were barred from advertising their movie (Hillary : The Movie). The law sought to clamp down on "advocacy advertising" 30 days before a primary election, or 60 days before a general election. The FEC construed the movie promos were such advertisements. And that is crap. Could a far reaching FEC construe newspaper editorials as advocacy advertisement and censor them?

  18. Re:Supreme Court did *not* say corps are people .. on U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Religious Objections To Contraception · · Score: 1

    No one is being deprived of medical benefits. The individual is of course free to pursue these things outside of the employer plan. I did actually see a tweet where a guy was wondering if a manager at Hobby Lobby saw a woman taking a morning-after pill in the break room, could he smack it out of her hand. I have no idea if he was serious or not.

    You can see what kind of mess might be made by looking at what some progressives would like to do - restricting speech rights for corporations, but with an exception for media corporations, so that freedom of the press is not curtailed. Just think about that - government deciding what "corporations" (basically any enterprise bigger than 2 guys and a website or photocopier) are real media companies and which are not.

    Three out of four of the above comments are jokes. But AGW proponents apparently have no sense of humor about this.

    If your parents had unit testing you never would've been born.

    I would still have been born, just not so buggy.
