  1. most obvious explanation on Battle of the Bush Bulge · · Score: 1

    I'm curious why no one has come up with the obvious answer: the bulge is the casing protecting the parastic larval cacodemon that taps directly into his spine.

  2. Chewbacca Defense on Climate Data Re-examined (updated) · · Score: 1

    Ah, the beloved Chewbacca Defense: if we don't like your science, we'll take you into a fractal realm of debate over increasingly small issues. This issue is - at least on this page - now hopelessly muddied, which is what they wanted: they can now say "see, there's no consensus."

    Here's some clarity: global warming projections are not based on one paper, nor on one excel spreadsheet. Those who dispute the theory of human-induced warming are outnumbered by those who used to dispute it. Scientific debate increasingly supports the viewpoint, and the only remaining force opposing it is money.

  3. why would such vulnerability be tolerated? on Cell Phones and Air Safety · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If a cellphone can interfere with flight electronics, then it's a short step to building a cellphone-like device that deliberately does so, putting the plane and its passengers in danger. It could look like a phone, a walkman, an electric shaver - anything. Why would such an achilles heel be tolerated? Unless all this heightened security is just a sham to make people feel more secure. But that's just unthinkable, right? Guys?

  4. Re:Hey Ho on Firefly Premieres Tonight · · Score: 1

    You have *got* to be kidding. The music was integral - and fantastic.

  5. Re:look at slashdot get worse every day... on ICANN Board Election Results · · Score: 2

    So, has MS set up a bot to respond to any MS-related article with "Slashdot sure sucks nowadays" or some variation thereof? I've seen it a lot lately, but this one seems totally egregious.
