  1. Re:100% distrust on Biofuels From Corn Can Create More Greenhouse Gases Than Gasoline · · Score: 1

    I had no idea such a thing as a "corn lobby" existed.

    Weird times.

    They were involved, under many layers, in the celery/bacon fiasco.

  2. Now that I've heard that... on Click Like? You May Have Given Up the Right To Sue · · Score: 1, Insightful

    ...it just makes me want to sue them on principle.

  3. Re:No. on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In any case, changing the Constitution is straightforward, if not "easy" : amend it per the steps provided. Good luck with that.

  4. Re:Hulk hogan could code too on Michael Bloomberg: You Can't Teach a Coal Miner To Code · · Score: 1

    I expect that unemployed coal miners could find success in opening "boutique" coal shops in revitalized downtown areas. This hand-picked coal is lovingly taken from small mines that have a limited impact on the environment.

  5. Re:Were the typos intentional on 93 Harvard Faculty Members Call On the University To Divest From Fossil Fuels · · Score: 1

    Hey, at least they got some punctuation in there.

    And : the, more; the... better!

  6. Re:Who? How? on Five-Year-Old Uncovers Xbox One Login Flaw · · Score: 4, Funny

    Which makes me appreciate all the thought that Slashdot put into its security. For example, did you know if you accidentally type your own password into a comment, it stars it out for you? Example:

    ***********

    Neat, huh?

  7. The Gay Mafia... on Brendan Eich Steps Down As Mozilla CEO · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...bags another head.

  8. Re:Projections on UN Report: Climate Changes Overwhelming · · Score: 1

    Ouch! You said "Koch" and "big oil", and both my knees went out of joint. Spread that shit around a little.

  9. Re:Projections on UN Report: Climate Changes Overwhelming · · Score: 1

    How often do they put out a "We're all going do die" report like this?

    As often as it takes until people like you listen?

    SCIENCE, BITCH!

    I fucking love science!

    There, does that help?

  10. Re:anonymous coward on The Myth of the Science and Engineering Shortage · · Score: 1

    Thanks Obama!!!

    Partisan moron is a moron.

    This meme is used so often it's hard to separate first order sarcasm from the second order sarcasm.

  11. Re:How hard is it? on China Using Drones To Spot Polluters · · Score: 1

    Particulates jam the drone's intake... Drone stalls and dies... Pollution found!

  12. My site won't get Slashdotted... on Lies Programmers Tell Themselves · · Score: 1

    And if it does, at least that's a good problem to have.

  13. Re:900 years ago on First Mathematical Model of 13th Century 'Big Bang' Cosmology · · Score: 1

    It took a few hundred more years before they discovered the Higgs Bison.

  14. Re:This is more than a little bit naive. on Environmentalists Propose $50 Billion Buyout of Coal Industry - To Shut It Down · · Score: 5, Funny

    For two, the cost of shutting that industry down does not cover the cost of starting new energy industries to replace it. Or were we just going to go without 37% of our electricity?

    I picture vast fields of hipsters pedaling bolted-down fixies with generators attached.

  15. Re:Schadenfreude on Senator Accuses CIA of Snooping On Intelligence Committee Computers · · Score: 1

    You'd think it sucks to be spied on or something.

  16. Re:Feinstein only a hypocrite ? on Senator Accuses CIA of Snooping On Intelligence Committee Computers · · Score: 1

    Hitler was a traitor?

  17. Re:Summary of Thread on Stanford Bioengineer Develops a 50-cent Paper Microscope · · Score: 1

    This is really the only Slashdot post I'll ever need again.

  18. Re:ice on Ice Age Fossils Found During Los Angeles Subway Exploration · · Score: 1

    baby

  19. Re:Yeah, but women want it all on All Else Being Equal: Disputing Claims of a Gender Pay Gap In Tech · · Score: 1

    The way you put things, yeah that might be interpreted as sexist...

    Honestly (and this is just my opinion), I don't think women want to look at it as "effort/time put in = money". They see the position, it is basically the same "tier" for a man and a woman, and the woman makes less. Never mind that particular man may have worked X more years and puts in Y extra hours.

  20. Re:Because men don't quit to have children on All Else Being Equal: Disputing Claims of a Gender Pay Gap In Tech · · Score: 1

    I know, troll. But I'm serious. It's a factor in manpower planning, especially in smaller teams.

    Right. It ain't called "womanpower" planning. Amirite fellas?!

  21. Re:On the bright side on How An Astronaut Nearly Drowned During a Space Walk · · Score: 2

    Well there was a "turd on the run" on Apollo 10. Tellingly, no one owned up to it.

  22. Re:Is it edible on Ancient Chinese Mummies Discovered In Cheesy Afterlife · · Score: 2

    I can see this on my pizza.

    Ask your mummy to make you one.

  23. Re:Can someone explain this theft? on Mt. Gox Shuts Down: Collapse Should Come As No Surprise · · Score: 2

    So, the reason for my question is that when I first heard about this, it was presented as a theft by an entity outside of Mt. Gox. These explanations seem like it was inside job. Is that the thinking now?

  24. Can someone explain this theft? on Mt. Gox Shuts Down: Collapse Should Come As No Surprise · · Score: 1

    I don't understand Bitcoins in general, but I *really* don't understand the process where they could be stolen. Could someone please explain it? Car analogies OK.

  25. Re:the difference? on Facebook Debuts New Gender Options, Pronoun Choices · · Score: 1

    I just realized that "Bigender" is meant to be "bi-gender", not "big ender".

    So I guess that answers the question I had about "Littleender".
