  1. This article was bait and you fell for it... on Ask Slashdot: Any Smart Phones Made Under Worker-Friendly Conditions? · · Score: 1

    Was the author going to purchase one of those friendly phones? Nope, more free press time for Apple. And I'll leave with another note. When I say that I'm tired of America, I get people who say, "It's still the greatest country in the world." Really? So, everything they do is OK. NOPE. Any company, crapple or otherwise, has no pride in its products if they make them in this fashion. Still working with the maker revolution.

  2. Raiders of the Lost Ark effect?!? on Scientists Build Graphene From Scratch, Atom By Atom · · Score: 1

    It'll get shoveled on down to all the 'important discoveries' warehouse like the Ark did at the end of the movie. There will be no more important discoveries that aren't raped by a corporation first.

  3. Re:Mother of different species? on South Korean Scientists Prepare To Clone Wooly Mammoth · · Score: 1

    Clearly you have not watched the movie Splice. I mean, they should take that route. You have to look at all the sides of the equations. Create a wooly mammoth? = profit!!! Having sex with it = Profit!!! Commissioning all the drawings that the furry porn industry will demand? PROFIT!!!!

  4. Re:Mass production on South Korean Scientists Prepare To Clone Wooly Mammoth · · Score: 1

    Yes, but what about the Sid and Diego units? The re-tooling would take a great deal of effort

  5. proof that young people are stupid on Business Cards the Latest Internet Casualty · · Score: 2

    Make the best of the situation. Start trading them like Pokemon or Yugi O! Only this time, the monsters are REAL!!!

  6. I'm going to get loaded off of this~ on Robot Firefighter To Throw Extinguisher Grenades · · Score: 1

    1. Wait for government refinement, speculation, manufacturing, and development 2. Becomes unclassified. 3. Blueprints available on the Internetz 4. Re purpose into a sexbot 5. Profit!!!!!

  7. The object of their desire for sure... on 'Of Course We Are In a Post-PC World,' Says Ray Ozzie · · Score: 1

    Kill the PC. Reinvent the wheel all over again so they can charge for a new platforms development. Sorry suckers. Think I'll stick to something that I can make useful, not you.

  8. Re:There is one thing we can do... on What To Do About an Asteroid That Has a 1 In 625 Chance of Hitting Us In 2040? · · Score: 1

    Uhm, this plan is seriously flawed, there is always the threat of freezer burn.

  9. Re:Build a ship for the best and brightest! on What To Do About an Asteroid That Has a 1 In 625 Chance of Hitting Us In 2040? · · Score: 1

    Relax. At first it seems like a tangible nightmare. But all you have to remember is..; They have no real practical skills to produce. So in the end, lacking sustenance, they will turn on one another and eat each other until they are all gone. Now doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Happy dreams!!!

  10. Re:Set a reminder for 20 years from now on What To Do About an Asteroid That Has a 1 In 625 Chance of Hitting Us In 2040? · · Score: 2

    No No NO, silly. He will be to busy hunting not 1 or 2 or 3 stones. But 4. 4 STONES!

    Why waste good press. I say he burns them in the middle of a pentagram. Puts it on youtube.

  13. I hate crapple. on Google, Motorola Ordered To Provide Android Info To Apple · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    So, with its endless war chest of digitized dead presidents, Crapple pursues the intent of A. Ruining the ability to have a choice, and B. Patent Trolling. RIP Steve, and thanks for GMOing a tree that grows great looking apples that are just plain rotten on the inside. You know what? That Judge didn't fall far from the tree, either.

  14. The Pride of Chanur on Ask Slashdot: Good, Forgotten Fantasy & Science Fiction Novels? · · Score: 1

    CJ Cherrhy's work. Her skills vastly improved over time. The depth of the main character develops in this series as well. 5 books in all I think. What I enjoyed a little though was a non 'human' centric main character. There are very few comical moments, although the few there are are pretty good. And, its pretty easy to dissolve oneself into the atmosphere she creates. Pierce Anthony's Bio of a Space Tyrant was also interesting.

  15. Re:Visionaries see into the future, not the presen on Rob Malda (CmdrTaco) Joins the Washington Post · · Score: 0

    What else CmdrTaco missed was a over zeaolos fandom/fetish. That is why Brannon has to keep taking his idols back to the Apple store to have them cleaned of 'spilled liquids' in all the ports.

  16. Re:see, here's the fatal flaw with this idea... on Speech-Jamming Gun Silences From 30 Meters · · Score: 1

    What? I can't understand a word your saying!

  17. Hey, thanks for the link. Does DEET work on these things?

  18. Re:ask a mechanic on Have Bad Cars Gone Extinct? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I still drive a Fiero. 85 gt. It's had its share of maintenance probz but i'll tell you what. same motor, I beat the hell out of it every time I drive it. Starts even on the coldest mornings. ALL CARS are junk. If you don't believe that then the automaker of your choice has you fooled. And besides, if you are ditching a car before its even payed off you are losing. Period.

  19. Re:Duh on Why Corporate Cloud Storage Doesn't Add Up · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I would guess, this was some wort of deal cooked up by 'media' industries to get your stuff off your computer and out somewhere that it could be searched for infringements. They tried to make it look 'cool' by using the Apple model. I'm glad to say, most people I know aren't stupid enough to buy into it..

  20. REAL combat?? on Ask Slashdot: What Would Real Space Combat Look Like? · · Score: 1

    You would never see it. If you were involved in a fight the speeds involved would be so great the only reasonable method of tracking a fight would be virtual. Unless it was a boarding. In that case, frankly something like outlaw star then at close ranges, with grapplers and assault rams, capable of penetrating hulls. It would be of little value to use lasers within visible spectrum. Missiles would be so fast you wouldn't see them either. Exo atmospheric fighters would find no purposes in wings or other lifting devices, unless being used as radiant heat sinks. I'm pretty sure battles in space will be robotic. Little point in wasting energy on life support, and the resources in making cabins. Yeah, if you were human and had the misfortune of being there, I would say you wouldn't have seen it coming. Targeting probably won't use optics, preferring something capable of covering long, and medium range sensing. Something probably left up to SAR. Sorry to be disappointing you. I'd a imagine, there would be an abstraction interface, completely customizable. Where a computer would assign some representative graphic to everything involved in the battle. I think I would assign HELLO KITTY to represent missiles. :)Of course one would beg the question, why would you be looking forward to it? I suppose, in the future, there will still be people duped into believing that anarchists idealize an impractical theology. Instead choosing the more believable ideologies of narcissism. It's much more efficient to just kill your enemies to take their finite resources for yourself than working together to find better alternatives where everyone gets to be happy.

  21. BEEP! on DARPA Researches Avatar Surrogates · · Score: 1

    I would try staring at the sun. For long periods of time. That MIGHT help you rid yourself of that annoying affliction.

    I'm junk here anyways. Becoming a tech loving criminal just seems the next obvious step in my evolution.

  25. Re:Lax attitudes toward child pornography on Reddit: No More Suggestive Content Featuring Minors · · Score: 2

    I had a buddy go to prison for this very act. She was 16 and he turned 18. 8 years in prison. Of course, his demeanor didn't help him in court. I liked him, but he was a mouthy bastard. Also what happens when you have a family that has cops as friends.
