    Don't worry, must of the jokes on slashdot tend to sink before they cause any real damage.

    Yeah, they only have to figure out how not to have them burn up from the orbital velocities.

  5. Re:How sad on Curiosity Rover Makes First Foursquare Check-In On Another Planet · · Score: 1

    If you don't hear about something happening, how are you going to be interested in it? This drives home the point that mars is a real location and it makes people feel more connected as it now relates to their daily lives. I think it's arrogant to call people uneducated for not showing an initial interest in the topics that YOU show interest in. Different motivators for different people.

  6. Re:Rosetta Stone on Gold Artifact To Orbit Earth In Hope of Alien Retrieval · · Score: 1

    Maybe these aliens are so hyper-intelligent that they've completely forgotten the concept of integers and have been using something else for thousands of years?

  7. Re:Paging Lawrence Fishburn on $1 Billion Mission To Reach the Earth's Mantle · · Score: 1

    You can't forget the part about the secret alien research facility which has been guiding the evolution process... that is.. until the neo-rex bit the hand that fed it.

  8. Starting a Business from Scratch on Ask Steve Wozniak Anything · · Score: 1

    I hear that you and some guy Steve started a successful company from the ground up. Do you have any advice for those of us hoping to do the same?

  11. Re:Do licenses matter? on EA Makes Minor Tweaks To FIFA 12 For the Wii, Releases It As FIFA 13 · · Score: 2

    Would you rather play a game with your favorite team and players? Or with fake names and fake players? You have to understand a sports fan first to understand why it matters.

  12. Re:Medical applications? Nope. on Scientists Invent Electronics That Dissolve In the Body · · Score: 1

    This will be even more effective because it can gradually bring someone to the verge of death, then disappear weeks before they die.

  13. Re:It lasts more than a day on a charge on Teardown Finds iPhone 5 Costs Apple About the Same As Did 4S · · Score: 1

    With decent usage from this morning at 7, (5 now), it's still at 75% here.

  14. Inside Job on Did Microsoft Know About the IE Zero-Day Flaw In Advance? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft released this flaw on themselves so they'd have an excuse to invade multiple innocent computers with security essentials. You're living in a policed antivirus society. Wake up! There was actually a third exploit that you can see being silently removed by Norton before anything hit. You think this is a coincidence?

  15. Bootleg on China Unveils Yet Another Stealth Fighter · · Score: 0

    It's not only in the same class, it's probably the same fighter. Many of "China's" fighter parts can fit directly into US fighters without issue.

    Yes, strategically place JPG artifacts caused by known compression techniques to create a readable barcode.

  19. Re:grind it on Are You Gaming For the Right Reasons? · · Score: 2

    You seem to be equating "hard work" with labor intensive work.

    Are you telling me a chemist can't work hard unless he's hauling containers back and forth? Are you telling me an administrator can't bust their ass with the only physical work being that of going to the file cabinet and back?

    That depends.. is he running?

    So if you found NIGNOGS written in your code. Is that racist or just inappropriate? What about if written by a black programmer?

    If racist, ask yourself what the difference is between this and BIGBOOBS.

    After all, even a motorcycle helmet can do a lot of damage if you swing it at someone.
