  1. Re:Got to love it... on CDN Forces Reactor Online Against Safety Regulations · · Score: 1

    The reactor is practically in the middle of nowhere, and it's not an energy producing reactor. So even if it was near me, I'd be fine with it.

  2. Re:Hmmm... on Can Time Slow Down? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yes. And my ability to predict your future with my tarot cards, for some reason, can't be replicated in a controlled environment either. But come to my office, and let the cards tell you your future...

  3. Re:My thought process was as such... on Microsoft Giving Away Vista Ultimate, With a Catch · · Score: 1

    It also contains potassium benzoate... that's bad...

  4. Well, these companies show their true colors on Ogg Vorbis / Theora Language Removed From HTML5 Spec · · Score: 4, Insightful

    MSFT isn't the only one who pulls crap like this. AAPL and NOK would gladly do the same things if they can get away with it.

  5. Why not make some more nuclear plants? on UK Wants Huge Expansion In Offshore Wind Power · · Score: 4, Interesting

    France does it quite well. In fact they're a net energy exporter.

  6. Re:And? on The 305 RAMAC — First Commercial Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Yeah, especially when the feds take it away from you...

  7. Re:Makes sense on some levels on Copy That Floppy, Lose Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Sort of. Animals are a finite resource. You kill one, and that animal won't be replaced for a while.

  8. Re:Default Administrators on Microsoft Disses Windows to Sell More Windows · · Score: 2, Funny

    Please turn in your Slashdot ID and nerd card. Also, please unholster and return your pitch fork.

  9. Re:Nicest device at present on Linux To Take Over The Low-End PC Market? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nice, but does it play Ogg???

  10. Re:Fitting cartoon to the subject on Former Anti-Nuclear Activist Does A 180 · · Score: 1

    Quite a fitting cartoon actually. Frankenstein's monster was really a misunderstood creature in Shelley's book. On the other hand, Godzilla did save us from aliens too. So now I'm confused...

  11. Re:Well shit. on Brawndo, It's Got Electrolytes. It's What Plants Crave · · Score: 1

    China would not have because of their one child policy. Probably not Japan either since they don't have much land.

  12. Re:Easy workaround on New Seagate Drives Have Real Difficulties With Linux · · Score: 1

    That's because people don't know how to use the 'underrated' moderation.

  13. Re:Consumer reports MUST be standalone on Making a Buck Online - Without Ads · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why very good, what with all this Ford stock I just bought!

  14. So, how will the creationists spin this one? on The Role of Retroviruses in Human Evolution · · Score: 0

    The article mentions how HIV can infect other primates but not cause disease, and even gives a molecular explanation. So how will this be spun?

  15. Re:Genetic databases of individuals... on Gene Found to Explain Repeated Mistakes · · Score: 1

    It's quite clear that all men are not created equal as a result of genetics. Clearly someone with Down syndrome, compared with someone without Down syndrome, is less intelligent, more prone to Alzheimer disease, and more prone to certain types of cancers.

  16. Re:Genetic databases of individuals... on Gene Found to Explain Repeated Mistakes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well that does pose an interesting question. Should people with genetic predisposition to disease have higher insurance rates? Should women with the BRCA mutations pay more? What if they get profilactic surgeries?

  17. Re:If you want a good laugh, go into repair on Unusual Data Disaster Horror Stories · · Score: 3, Funny

    Or go into medicine. You wouldn't belive the things people put in their rectum and how it got there...

  18. Re:Shouldn't be a problem on Western Digital Service Restricts Use of Network Drives · · Score: 2, Informative

    With regard to option 1, here's a good site

  19. Shouldn't be a problem on Western Digital Service Restricts Use of Network Drives · · Score: 1

    1) Someone might figure out how to get Linux to run on this thing (if it isn't already running Linux) or
    2) Those who know will avoid this thing and get something else.

  20. Re:Cattle...? Thanks! on YouTube Breeding Harmful Scientific Misinformation · · Score: 1

    It's truthiness!

  21. Re:Wake up on Old Software or Open Source? · · Score: 1

    You mean like how MS redid the interface for their new office application? The new interface that, given time, actually does work better than the old one, but which the old-timers are still resistant to change because they're used to the old interface?

  22. Re:999 euros?! on German Court Rules iPhone Locking Legal · · Score: 2, Funny

    I had thought selling a phone for $500 is insane, I might have yet to see everything...

    Have you seen a dwarf do a fat chick? No? So indeed you haven't seen everything...
  23. Re:Bummer on Erratum Plagues Quad-Core Opterons, Phenoms · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hmmm... I suppose that I should disconnect this Phenom-powered computer running Windows from this nuclear power station I'm working at...

  24. Re:Hang on... on AT&T To Decommission Pay Phones · · Score: 2, Funny

    Riiight... and next you're going to tell me that Christopher Columbus wasn't the first person to discover the Americas, that there's a NEW Mexico, that there's no Santa Claus...

  25. Re:farewell, anonymity on AT&T To Decommission Pay Phones · · Score: 1

    Pay phones are still present. AT&T just won't be in charge of them. Verizon still has quite a few of them.
