  1. Re:I weep for my country on Survey Reveals a Majority Believe "the Cloud" Is Affected by Weather · · Score: 4, Funny

    "How the fuck should I know? I'm a biological engineer, not a goddamn weatherman!"

    Is his last name "McCoy" by any chance?

  2. Re:not needed on Can Data Mining Win a Presidential Campaign? · · Score: 1

    ron paul just says logical arguments and listens to what people have to say.

    And how is that working out for him?

    We'll let you know once he gets started.

  3. Re:Happy Monday from the Golden Girls! on Stanford Researchers Discover the 'Anternet' · · Score: 0

    I'm gonna start modding it up.

  4. Here's a "Don't", IMO on Ask Slashdot: Explaining Role-Playing Games To the Uninitiated? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Please don't start with the example of "remember when we were kids, and we played Cops & Robbers?". I've heard well-meaning role-players start with this, and it just seems to me that it infantilizes the experience.

  5. I'm wondering about the other side on Wikipedia Edits Forecast Romney's Vice Presidential Pick · · Score: 2

    I'm wondering who Obama's running mate will be.

  6. Re:Awesome! on Australian Billionaire Wants To Build Jurassic Park-Style Resort · · Score: 1

    Maybe he's thinking of them as intended consequences.

  7. Do he now!

  8. It's always been TOO LATE on Is There Still a Ray of Hope On Climate Change? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It seems to me ... and I cannot provide references ... that it's been "too late to do anything" for ten years or more. This always seemed to be a counter-productive way to evangelize. If it really is too late, we need to put resources more toward mitigation (which I suspect will be the case anyway).

  9. Re:so... on Discovery Channel Telescope Snaps Inaugural Pictures · · Score: 2

    If you’ve got a telescope -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

    -- Barack H. Obama

  10. Re:VBA? on JavaScript For the Rest of Us · · Score: 0

    What the hell is "tonnes"?

  11. Re:Reminds me of IPP on Varnish Author Suggests SPDY Should Be Viewed As a Prototype · · Score: 0

    The Internet Printing Protocol is a wierd mash up of HTTP and a proprietary binary format. God knows what they were smoking when they dreamt it up.

    They were eating rotisserie chicken.

  12. Re:cause and effect vs commonality on Why Mark Zuckerberg Is a Bad Role Model For Aspiring Tech Execs · · Score: 1

    Just to be sure, better go to a school that gives you a free car for each degree you earn.

  13. Re:stopped using it? on Why Microsoft Killed the Windows Start Button · · Score: 2

    Exactly - Microsoft puts a few on there, the OEM / vendor quite a few more, then everything they install is " [X] Create icon on my desktop".

  14. Re:Participant Psychosis? on Ask Bas Lansdorp About Going to Mars, One Way · · Score: 1

    Exactly what kind of laughter did you have in mind?

    Heeeeere's Johnny!

  15. Re:hello? on New Signs Voyager Is Nearing Interstellar Space · · Score: 1

    That is one new overlord I would welcome!

  16. Re:Ask a better question on 'Inventor of Email' Gets Support of Noam Chomsky · · Score: 1

    OP mentions it in his reply...

    Which of course the AC could not see.

  17. Re:Ask a better question on 'Inventor of Email' Gets Support of Noam Chomsky · · Score: 1

    Hack like Chomsky? Really? He reinvented linguistics. His influences reach out from compilers to AI to psychology. Hack? Don't judge the man by (your opinion of) his political views.

    Where did the OP mention anything about Chomsky's political views?

  18. Good! on LinkedIn Password Hashes Leaked Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe I can find mine, I can't remember it!

  19. Re:Party afiliation not important on New Jersey Mayor and Son Arrested For Nuking Recall Website · · Score: 1

    I looked him up expecting to see he was an R and was quite surprised. But you can rest assured if he was a proper GOP guy, his mug would show up on Fox with a big, fat D behind it. Whoops, no idea how that happened.

    Fox News is awful! If they can do that in your imagination, think about what they can do in real life!

  20. Re:Options trading on Facebook IPO Stumbles Out of the Gate · · Score: 0

    (The mechanics of genuine Shorts are too ugly for my taste.)

    That's what she said.

  21. Witnessing History on Ask Slashdot: Best Option For Printing Digital Photos? · · Score: 5, Funny

    This may be the first and only Slashdot story where Costco and Walmart are mentioned in positive light.

  22. BASIC Programming, old school on Study Suggests the Number-Line Concept Is Not Intuitive · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Did anyone else think about older versions of interpreted BASIC first?

  23. Re:I bet $100... on Facebook Purchases 650 AOL Patents From Microsoft · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sorry, you are in violation of my patent "placing a wager on an Internet forum". My lawyers will be in touch.

  24. Re:Don't laugh *too* hard on 30 Years of the TRS-80 Model 100 · · Score: 3, Informative
