  1. They had their own LHC on Astronomers Record Mystery Radio Signals From 5.5 Billion Light Years Away · · Score: 2, Funny

    Congratulations, another civilization just won the Intergalactic Darwin Award.

  2. I need that on FDA Approves Implantable Vagus Nerve Disruptor For Weight Loss · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have a Vegas Nerve. Lost a lot of money on blackjack and hookers.

  3. Take pics with Tron Guy on President Obama Will Kibbitz With YouTube Stars · · Score: 1

    FoxNews would have a field day

  6. Re:Fastest Probe? [Re:Exciting stuff] on Analysis Suggests Solar System Contains Massive Trans-Neptunian Objects · · Score: 1

    by firing a shaped-charge nuclear bomb behind it every three seconds for ten days straight.

    That's a lot of nukes.

  7. Fastest Probe? [Re:Exciting stuff] on Analysis Suggests Solar System Contains Massive Trans-Neptunian Objects · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the fastest possible chemically-propelled-rocket probe is? If the probe was made small and compact to do little more than take photos and spectrographic analysis, how fast could the bugger be made to travel using existing rocket tech?

    If it records the pass-by data and sends it back later at a slower pace, somewhat like New Horizons, then it doesn't need that big of an antenna.

  8. More probing needed? on Analysis Suggests Solar System Contains Massive Trans-Neptunian Objects · · Score: 0

    You mean there is something up Uranus?

  9. Re:Indians being unscrupulous...i'm shocked! Shock on Micromax Remotely Installing Unwanted Apps and Showing Ads · · Score: 1

    They learned well from their USA capitalist teachers.

  10. Re:White dot directly above on the image on Lost Beagle2 Probe Found 'Intact' On Mars · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it did hit the ground fairly hard, which caused it to unravel in a way that somewhat resembles the intended landing configuration.

  11. Re:design flaw with placement of antenna on Lost Beagle2 Probe Found 'Intact' On Mars · · Score: 1

    It's a pretty clever design, in terms of being compact, if everything had clicked into place.

    It would have been the first direct life-detection experiment since the Viking probes of the 1970's.

    It's a bummer how they got all the way to 3rd base when things went kafooey.

  12. Re:Quick someone on Lost Beagle2 Probe Found 'Intact' On Mars · · Score: 1

    That command is "BEETHOVEN"

    Where am I supposed to go for support for my TRS-80 Color Computer now?

    Cuba or N. Korea

  16. Imbalance on IEEE: New H-1B Bill Will "Help Destroy" US Tech Workforce · · Score: 1

    Importing cheap labor is not "technology". Plus, many countries that send visa workers have protectionist rules at home for our product and services. They want the benefits but not the downsides. It's one of the reasons why we have a fat trade deficit and why the rich get richer but the middle gets screwed.

  17. Re:STEM on IEEE: New H-1B Bill Will "Help Destroy" US Tech Workforce · · Score: 1

    Because the author lacks education.

  18. Bribocracy on IEEE: New H-1B Bill Will "Help Destroy" US Tech Workforce · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, majority of campaign contribution dollars...

  19. Re:Lazarus on Ask Slashdot: Linux Database GUI Application Development? · · Score: 1

    Tools often assume or are built around certain patterns or ways of doing things. If you force it outside of those ways, odd things happen. It just may be that Qt more closely fit your original vision than Lazarus.

    I remember working with Oracle Forms. If you do things according to its assumed look-and-feel, things go smooth. However, when we tried to force it to act like a more modern desktop GUI, it balked and the work-arounds triggered oddities.

  20. Re:About time (correction) on Obama Unveils Plan To Bring About Faster Internet In the US · · Score: 1

    correction: should be "single competitor".

  21. Re:Jesus Christ on PHP vs. Node.js: the Battle For Developer Mind Share · · Score: 1

    This would be the worst movie ever.

    Not necessarily. Consider a flick about Jar Jar vs. Wesley Crusher. If they both die in glorious shame at the end, it could be the greatest geek hit ever.

    Human language _is_ a tool...Dumbass.

    Hmm, I wonder if the invention of cussing helped tool-making by making errors more memorable.

  25. Instant R.Y.O. language? on Exploring Some Lesser-Known Scripting Languages · · Score: 2

    How about a "language" that makes it easy to generate a language how I personally want it so that I'm not stuck with somebody else's goofy preferences:
