  1. Kirk style, eh? on Why Atheists Need Captain Kirk · · Score: 1

    Sure, we'll do all your preacher daughters and all green space babes encountered.

  2. Re:Great idea! Let's alienate Science even more! on Why Atheists Need Captain Kirk · · Score: 1, Troll

    The Creation Museum was founded by an Australian.

    The USA tends to attract nuts from other countries, including Rupert Murdoch and Ted Cruz. It's not about where they come from, but having a place that nurtures and expands such nuttiness.

  3. Re: Eh... on The Future According To Stanislaw Lem · · Score: 1

    No, that's Michael Jackson you are thinking of.

    I'm still waiting for them to take Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber back.

  4. Re:Eh... on The Future According To Stanislaw Lem · · Score: 1

    Why would any intelligent creature want anything to do with us?

    because we have Elvis and Beethoven, and they don't.

  5. Re:unlikely on The Future According To Stanislaw Lem · · Score: 2

    No, they'd outsource that work to engineered squids.

  6. Sauced in the Saucer on The Future According To Stanislaw Lem · · Score: 1

    The existing UFO sightings are consistent with an advanced civilization who observe us, perhaps even tinker with us, but generally stay out of sight. The "high" ones may be the numskulls who crash in New Mexico deserts.

  7. High as a Unidentified Flying Kite on The Future According To Stanislaw Lem · · Score: 1

    advanced civilizations are more likely to spend their time getting high

    I've seen one in my attic

  8. Re:We'll of course it will on Robot Operating System To Officially Support ARM Processors · · Score: 1

    That's boring; give them tentacles instead. Is there a TENTACLE chip?

  9. Re:Thanks Jerry Mahoney! on The Challenges and Threats of Automated Lip Reading · · Score: 1

    I'm glad I learned ventriloquism as a kid.

    Who said that?

  10. Re:HAL 9000 on The Challenges and Threats of Automated Lip Reading · · Score: 1

    Why didn't Slashdot editors use the HAL eye icon (eyecon?) instead of the lock? I'm disappointed and will increase my trolling 35% in protest.

  11. Bubbles 101 on Harvard's CompSci Intro Course Boasts Record-Breaking Enrollment · · Score: 1

    They should take Economic Bubbles 101. In the past whenever there was a spike in CS enrollment, a bubble burst. We had the vid game bubble in the early 80's leading to the "ET cartridge landfill", the AI bubble that popped at the start of the general '91 recession (unemployed Lisp programmers are a scary lot), and then the Dot Com bubble.

  12. Re:Call the Auto Club! on Curiosity Rover Arrives At Long-Term Destination · · Score: 1, Funny

    Your club is known as a Clue Stick.

  13. Re:Wrong, wrong wrong on Congress Can't Make Asteroid Mining Legal (But It's Trying, Anyway) · · Score: 1

    to clarify the rules for US Corporations

    Mitt: "Corporations are astronauts, too"

  14. Re:2 years and nine kilometers... on Curiosity Rover Arrives At Long-Term Destination · · Score: 1

    DC traffic: bumper-to-bumper with lobbyists. Joy. I'd rather be on Mars.

  15. Re:Knee-jerk reaction on Curiosity Rover Arrives At Long-Term Destination · · Score: 1

    That would suggest they redefined the boundary after the criticism came out, like a politician would.

    Actually, I've read they were getting fairly close before the critical report even came out.

  16. Re:Too late for the flare -- the *CME* comes Frida on X-Class Solar Flare Coming Friday · · Score: 3, Funny

    it's more than just an electro-magnetic pulse ... it actually has mass associated with it.

    So, to put it in layman's terms, the Sun farted at us.

  17. Maybe someone should just do a courtesy mass-mailing based on the list.

    A Nigerian prince has already completed that task. I just hope he also mails me my loan back.

  18. Odd name on Rosetta Hunts For Comet Touch Down Site For Philae Lander · · Score: 2

    Is it just me, or does the lander name sound a bit, uhhh, personal?

  19. Re:Move To China on When Scientists Give Up · · Score: 1

    Or move to India, and "insource" your services as an H1B for 1/3 the cost of an American scientist to underbid the competition.

  20. Re:Easy solution on When Scientists Give Up · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just find a way to link global warming to your thesis

    Yes, suggest you are disproving it and Exxon will fund you up the wazoo.

  21. Re:I smell a hype gamble on UK's National Health Service Moves To NoSQL Running On an Open-Source Stack · · Score: 1

    They typically call those "network databases", "hierarchical databases", or "navigational databases".

  22. Re:Old Time Religion on UCLA Biologists Delay the Aging Process In Fruit Flies · · Score: 1

    Did NASA use the wrong unit again? Tsk tsk tsk.

  23. Re:Great... on UCLA Biologists Delay the Aging Process In Fruit Flies · · Score: 1

    It's okay, peeing is overrated.

  24. Trade-off? on UCLA Biologists Delay the Aging Process In Fruit Flies · · Score: 1

    I bet there is some trade-off in organ or body ability. I doubt there is a "free lunch".

    In most organisms there is an inherent trade-off among efficiency, metabolism, and entropy.

  25. Re:How quickly will they run back to Oracle? on UK's National Health Service Moves To NoSQL Running On an Open-Source Stack · · Score: 2, Funny

    anyone who works with databases in industry knows that "NoSQL" has come to mean inconsistent data, corrupted data, and silently lost data
