  1. Re:Heat and movement on When Continental Drift Was Considered Pseudoscience · · Score: 2

    And just look how big an idiot he is!

    ;)

  2. Re:Uhm, so we're at war now with Iran? on Obama Order Sped Up Wave of Cyberattacks Against Iran · · Score: 1

    And if the next Democratic president were from, say, Toledo, then I'm sure suddenly being from the Toledo would be a tremendous mark against him.

    If Carty Finkbeiner is ever president, I will work actively for the Texas Secede movement.

  3. Re:Prior Art on Amazon Patents Electronic Gifting · · Score: 1

    Your inbox is full of 22 year old spam? You really need to take a day (week?) off and sort/delete some email ...

    ;)

  4. Re:Prior Art on Amazon Patents Electronic Gifting · · Score: 2

    They added: "With a computer."

    Totally not the same thing ...

  5. Re:Get a refill.. on Soda Ban May Hit the Big Apple · · Score: 1

    Eat recycled food. It's good for the environment, and not bad for you.

    Since we're quoting Stalone movies anyway

  6. Re:I'm hoping for microsoft on Microsoft's Office 365 For Government Heralds New Google Fight · · Score: 1

    Just an anecdote, but everyone I know with a Hotmail account has had it forever & just uses it as a spam account now. In other words, numbers aren't everything.

  7. Re:Salaries on IT Positions Some of the Toughest Jobs To Fill In US · · Score: 1

    I had to check the login, I thought my boss was posting on /. when I read it. They [good managers] are out there, just hard to find :)

  9. Re:False Dichotomy on Debate Over Evolution Will Soon Be History, Says Leakey · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Whilst I am not necessarily a fan of Romney's, I believe his view to be one of the most sane the right has offered. If God used evolution to create the human body, everyone is right. What he said did not preclude evolution in other species (ie fish evolving), simply that 'yes evolution appears to be happening' and 'God created Man(kind)' don't have to be in conflict. This is pretty close to my own view on evolution. I don't deny evolution happens, of course it does, I just believe it to be part of a greater plan of a higher power.

  10. Re:How odd on NASA To Future Lunar Explorers: Don't Mess With Our Moon Stuff · · Score: 1

    Why? The discussion is about the Moon.

  11. Re:More of this, please on Scientists Turn Skin Cells Into Beating Heart Muscle · · Score: 1

    You forgot to add "Spoiler Alert" - now we know how the movie ends!

  12. Re:Why is the solution to every problem on Senators To Unveil the 'Ex-Patriot Act' To Respond To Facebook's Saverin · · Score: 1

    I moved here (Texas) from Utah. Lots of people I know here moved here from other states that are more expensive to live in. Sure, I hate that we get the bulk of our energy from coal (although I personally pay a premium to get mine from wind farms) and the idiots that plan highways seem to fund them by the linear foot (read: they are narrow, typically 2 lanes each way) and we can't open carry, but otherwise it's not bad. It's the difference (for me) between raising my kids in apartments (all we could afford in SL valley) and owning a house in a nice neighbourhood.

  14. Re:40 Million? on General Motors: "Facebook Ads Aren't Worth It" · · Score: 2

    No, no, you're doing it wrong. I'll do it for 45M. It is even more than GM is currently spending, so it must work better!

  16. Re:Not all Patents are the Same on Ask Slashdot: What If Intellectual Property Expired After Five Years? · · Score: 1

    ^^ This. 5 year personal, 15-20 year commercial. As vain and impatient as (most) people are, they aren't going to all of a sudden stop buying content until it has been out 5 years.

    I guess that's one way to get people to use Gimp ...

    Obviously that dictionary is wrong, when he says it "proscriptive" means "tells you what the word actually means"

  21. OT Warning: on The 30 Best Features of Windows · · Score: 1

    You made my morning (thank you!). I have hated that ever since starting to use Win7 (otherwise prefer it over XP).

  22. Slightly OT on NY Ruling Distinguishes Downloading, Viewing Child Pornography · · Score: 1

    Anyone seen NYCL in a while? I'm surprised to not see him posting on these stories.

    Use a quality lab. I use Adorama in NYC.

  24. Re:Multiple consoles on Why You Don't Want a $99 Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    ^^ This. My children do not get 4 hours a day to do a single recreational activity at home unless you count sleeping (yes, they get more than 4 hours sleep). Raising them to spend 4 hours a day or more on a specific recreational activity does not raise them to be well-rounded or productive (unless their hobby is intrinsically productive, like digging post-holes, I guess). This is not to say they do not get 4 hours of recreation a day, play time is important, but spending all of it doing 1 thing and always that same one thing* ... and they'll grow up trolling /. :)


    *If they want to spend 4 hours playing video games one day a week, no problem. As I do not have more than 5 kids, 1 shared computer can easily handle this.

  25. Re:They Never Even Said Those Things on Heartland Institute Learning To Troll On Billboards · · Score: 1

    I have aquagenic urticaria, you insensitive clod!



    I did an insensitive clod joke, someone please shoot me ...
