  1. Re:Wrong perspective or different existance... on Volunteers Simulate Mission To Mars · · Score: 1

    After I'm done, I can add 'NASA Mars Expedition Lab-Rat/Test-Monkey' to my resume!

    And be pretty much guaranteed never to get an office with a window once they find out what that actually entailed.

  2. abused on Cellular Repo Man · · Score: 1

    Yeah because some pimple-faced kid isn't going to get bored and start killing peoples netbooks for fun.

    This is an early April Fools day joke right ?

  3. Re:I'm compensating. on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1

    Definately going to remember that one.

  4. Slavery on IBM Tries To Patent Offshoring · · Score: 1

    Would slavery count as prior art ?

  5. Re:Stickers... on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1

    Yeah....and when YOUR 11 year old daughter asks you "Dad what are those on that truck?" please let us know how you respond.

    You say, "Honey, I want you to take a good hard look at those, and I want you to remember them, this moment, and this conversation."

    That should buy you a few extra years of her not getting knocked up due to the sight of nuts triggering old memories and turning her off.

    They'll be able to tell it's not your baby.

  7. Re:I'm compensating. on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh I get it. So their sexual inadequacy is that the place where they have all of their sex is inadequte so they buy a bigger car to compensate, and you buy a smaller car to compensate for the inadequte amount of sex you're having ?

    Brilliant !

  8. The strong silent type on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1

    I walk around with a raging boner most of the day.
    Nobody notices my netbook.

  9. Re:Standard on Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The difference it makes is that if you've never had kids then you can only reliably argue half the facts, meaning your argument is flawed from the get-go.

  10. Re:Standard on Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Do you have kids ?

  11. Standard on Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Where's the line going to be drawn on that law ?

    I understand the need to keep an eye on the perverts who pass themselves off as artists, but guys, myself included, routinely joke about checking ID before sleeping with a chick for good reason.

  12. Re:What about... on Growing Plants In Lunar Gravity · · Score: 1

    Well in that case, keeping with the theme of the experiment, I guess now is a good time to say try this at your own risk.

  13. Re:Why? on Growing Plants In Lunar Gravity · · Score: 4, Funny

    But hey, smarter people then me

    Speak for yourself, I just don't have access to a lab and all of those cool gadgets. :)

  14. Re:Rapid growth on Growing Plants In Lunar Gravity · · Score: 1

    What if we can get rid of leaves and somehow get the roots to product fruit ?
    Without the leaves the fruit could be sucked into a vaccuum or sorts because there would be no need for the Co2 for the leaves.

  15. Re:What about... on Growing Plants In Lunar Gravity · · Score: 2, Funny

    There's a way you can find out.

    Normally if you held your head over a desk and jumped into the air gravity would would make you crack your head on the desk when you came down. Now, if instead of jumping up you just thrust your head straight down to the desk your head would be in zero gravity and gravity wouldn't cause you to crack your head on the desk.

    I for one am interested to see how this plays out, be sure to let us know if you try it. :)

  16. Re:My brain must be going stupid on Growing Plants In Lunar Gravity · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well if it makes you feel any better, it took me 3 tries to find the difference between yours and the real title.

  17. Rapid growth on Growing Plants In Lunar Gravity · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Has anyone else ever wondered if it would be possible to grow something almost instantaniously if the conditions were absolutely perfect ?

    I would think that plants would grow faster with little to no gravity.

  18. CAPTCHA on Are Long URLs Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    But how much is being wasted on CAPTCHA challenges ?

  19. Re:slashdvertisements on Sun Puts Data Center Through 6.7 Earthquake · · Score: 1

    thats what sun is spending money on before its taken over?

    Don't worry, they'll get to the important stuff like multi-million dollar bonuses for executives soon.

  20. I for one on Finding Twin Earths Is Harder Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    ... am looking forward to welcoming our new "Flip That Planet" overlords.

  21. Re:Laws and stuff on Piracy Case Could Change Canadian Web Landscape · · Score: 1

    Just wait until someone downloads your song, then, clobber them in the head. You'll probably get off with probation.

  22. Life inprisonment on Kentucky Officials "Changed Votes At Voting Machines" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Conviction for tampering with election results should be met with life inprisonment. The scope of things affected by gaming elections warrents nothing less.

    Death would be better, but sometimes we get the wrong guy and at least with inprisonment we can let them out of jail and make sure they live well with a fat stack of cash for the rest of their life.

  23. Don't treat them like children on How To Get High-Schoolers Involved In Real Science? · · Score: 1

    If you want them to get involved in "real" science, let them do "real" things with it. Practical things they would actually get paid for in the "real" world.

    Sure you learn a lot from disecting a frog, but I'm still waiting to see a job listing that has frog disection as a skill requirement.

  24. Re:The simple one. on What Filters Are Right For Kids? · · Score: 1

    Here's a thought, how about we come to the sad realization that no matter what we do, it's going to happen. It's probably better to browse around with the kids so they can see how we, as role models, react to this surprise content instead of relying on a digital babysitter that's going to undoubtably fail sooner or later anyway.

  25. Temp tag on Cities View Red Light Cameras As Profit Centers · · Score: 1

    Looks like it's finally time to quit white-outing and remarking the expiration date on my temp tag. It's been a good run.
