  1. It's all well and good until on Russia To Establish Bases On the Moon · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Nuclear waste from Earth stored on the Moon's far side explodes in a catastrophic accident, knocking the Moon out of orbit and sending it and the Moonbase Alpha hurtling uncontrollably into space.

  2. I must be hungry on Inside the 2012 Loebner Prize · · Score: 4, Funny

    At first glance, I read it as "Inside the 2012 Lobster Pie".

  3. Imagine his power on Arrested CERN Physicist Gets 5 Years For Terror Plot · · Score: 1

    The ability tear this universe another black hole. I just shudder to think.

  4. Two birds with one stone on Researchers Model Pluto's Atmosphere, Find 225 Mph Winds · · Score: 3, Funny

    We should set up wind mill farms on Pluto, thereby avoiding the problem of adding to global warming and ruining the view of wealthy people who live on Cape Cod. Now, how to solve the electrical conduit problem...

  5. What is it with terrorists? on German Authorities Find Al Qaeda Plans Disguised In Porn · · Score: 5, Funny

    They seem to love stuffing things down their pants, from bombs to porno-packed digital storage. This eventually will not turn out well for the propagation of their cause.

  6. That's one of the things I like about Woz on Wozniak Praises 'Beautiful' Windows Phone · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He's not an Apple fanboy. He just likes good technology regardless of who makes it.

    The mill's closed. There's no more work. We're destitute. I've got no option but to sell you all for scientific experiments.

  7. Skyscrapers and any city on New Study Suggests Wind Farms Can Cause Climate Change · · Score: 2

    Skyscrapers and any large man-made structures also have an effect on regional climate. Is this any different? At least with wind farms, we're not dumping high levels of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and superheating the earth.

  8. There, fixed that for you on Why Apple's Next Revolution Should Be In Your Car · · Score: 1

    "Why Apple's Next Evolution Should Be In Your Car"

    --
    Shut up, you American. You Americans, all you do is talk, and talk, and say "let me tell you something" and "I just wanna say." Well, you're dead now, so shut up.

  9. Dilithium Crystals on Good News For US Fusion Research · · Score: 1

    That's the ticket, matey.

    --
    "Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who."

  10. ET? on Is Extraterrestrial Life More Whimsical Than Plausible? · · Score: 1

    Sure, why not? Let's see, if an alien civilization discovered how to travel at the speed of light, and they lived in the nearest solar system with earth-like planets, then it's only 44 trillion kilometers or 4.4 light years away. I can see traveling for 4.4 years in a small spacecraft in order to pick up farmers and mechanics on earth and probe them.

    No chance, English bed-wetting types. I burst my pimples at you and call your door-opening request a silly thing, you tiny-brained wipers of other people's bottoms!

  11. Re:I don't want a combination fridge/TV set on IKEA Announces Furniture With Integrated TV, Speakers, and Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    My wife and I have purchased several piece of furniture from IKEA and we're very pleased. Sure, they're not made from top notch materials, but how long are you going to own a couch? They're out of style in 6 or 7 years. And, frankly, I'm quite impressed with the construction of their furniture -- very sturdy and comfortable. We bought a couch, oversized chair and a book case from IKEA. We're pleased with all three. Would I buy their furniture for our family room, that gets used every single night, from IKEA? Probably not, but for our living room, it's perfect, and not expensive. That's my two cents. Oh, and I love their sticky buns.

  12. We already know on Baboons Learn To Identify Words · · Score: 5, Funny

    this is going to end with Charlton Heston on a beach cursing at the Statue of Liberty.

  13. More and more often I wonder on 200,000 Titanic-Related Documents Published Online · · Score: 2

    Do you think any of those 1,517 passengers who died ever imagined how famous they'd be simply because their ocean liner struck an iceberg and sank? I recently heard a really funny comment on NPR radio during the "Wait, Wait. Don't Tell Me" segment. "Titanic, the movie that spawed a real-life shipwreck."

  14. Well, it appears we have no choice on Waterboarding Whistleblower Indicted Under Espionage Act · · Score: 1

    John Kiriakou refused to be trained in torture tactics and he was the first CIA officer to call waterboarding "torture" Waterboard him.

  15. Re:Error My Ass on NBC Apologizes For Editing Zimmerman 911 Call · · Score: 4, Funny

    Someone blew up the Cars? Bummer. I loved that band.

  16. I know I won't be popular on Best Buy Closing 50 Stores · · Score: 1

    I love Best Buy. Not because it's the greatest tech retail store out there, but because I like brick-and-mortar stores. I can see, feel and test equipment. Sure, I still buy most of my tech online, but I like to make the occasional purchase in person, as well as being able to see stuff I may not buy that way.

  17. Never buy Google I/O on Google I/O Sells Out In 20 Minutes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Personally, I like PCIe for internal and fiber optics for external. I don't think Google is even a hardware or network service provider. It's no wonder it sold out so quickly.

  18. In the spirit of Pi on 10 Ways To Celebrate Pi Day · · Score: 1

    We're having a bevy of Pi Pies in my office today. Yum!

  19. Pretty random attacks these days on Anonymous Hacks Tunisian Islamist Sites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anonymous seems to just have its fingers in the wind these days, shifting its sites all over the placewith no real direction or purpose. I mean, they even took down the Boston Police Department's website because the city forced the Occupy Wall Street wackos out of Dewey Square after letting them squat there for months.

  20. Re:Two choices... on Ask Slashdot: How To Deal With Refurbed Drives With Customer Data? · · Score: 1

    What about SSDs? Does HDDErase work for flash?

  21. Re:No, no, no! on Pentagon: 30,000 Pound Bomb Too Small · · Score: 3, Informative

    Lockheed-Georgia C-5 Galaxy. Maximum Cargo Weight: 270,000 pounds. Cost: $179 million. http://www.globalaircraft.org/planes/c-5_galaxy.pl

  23. Re:What if Slashdot never happened? on What If the Apollo Program Never Happened? · · Score: 1

    And, I suppose we wouldn't have Tang.

  24. Re:Well, there goes *that* heroin shipment on Senator Rand Paul Detained By the TSA · · Score: 1

    And what kind of name is Rand? It sounds middle eastern to me -- perhaps even communist. Thank goodness for our alert TSA, now it's time for them to get back to patting down infants.

  25. Re:Suppose . . . on Russian Scientist Claims Signs of Life Spotted On Venus · · Score: 2

    Especially if they were scorpions that could withstand 900 degree temperatures and 1,508lbs of pressure. I'd believe we should defer to the old adage: "let sleeping scorpions lie".
