  1. This is stupid. on High School Students Forced To Declare A Major · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should try treating students with some dignity and respect. Considering the quote in the summary calls these high schoolers "youngsters", I'd say the students are going to leave no matter what these administrators do.

    Besides, many college students have trouble picking their majors. Having them pick majors that young will only hurt them later when they ask themselves, "What am I doing?"

  2. Re:So, where is everyone? on The Fermi Paradox is Back · · Score: 1

    We then promptly declare war on them for their oi... I mean, over their ties to Al-qaeda!

  3. Re:Cool! on MIT Finds Cure For Fear · · Score: 1

    It looks like you didn't get a placebo.

  4. Re:Looks like a pretty good summary to me on CBC News Interprets GPL - Poorly · · Score: 1

    Surely not. We know American, a specialized dialect of English. We gave up on real English a long time ago.

  5. Re:Therapeutic? on Scientists Move Closer to Human Therapeutic Cloning · · Score: 1

    I personally want a clone so I can harvest his organs. What's a little suicide between copies?

  6. Re:What a terrible path on Controlling Computers With the Brain · · Score: 1

    Do I get a silver mask with my Tallgeese?

  7. Re:Inside/outside on The Big Bang Vs. the Big Rumble · · Score: 1

    Have you ever taken a step back and asked yourself, "Is everything the way it is because that's the only way it would work?" Better yet, if your creator loves each and every one of us so much, why would he condemn any of us to suffering? Better yet, why would the supposedly desirable afterlife be run as a dictatorship? Really, I'd like to know how religion (made by humanity, corrupted by humanity) is logical at all.

  8. Re:Now, maybe on EMI, YouTube Strike Music Video Deal · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, that's not possible. The marketing department must have killed key people in the night and replaced them with dopplegangers. It's the only sane solution to this insanity.

  9. Re:Shredding not safe anymore? on Shredded Secret Police Files Being Reassembled · · Score: 1

    Then burn it, mash it into a power, and wash it down the sink. Be a little creative next time.

  10. Re:FP!!!! on Treating the Dead · · Score: 1

    I would prefer he didn't.

  11. Re:This was discovered in the US? on Treating the Dead · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I guess this proves the existence of god, since this conclusively proves miracles happen.

    And I lol3D.

  12. Re:There's no way it's 300 million years old on World's Largest Fossil Forest, and One of the Oldest · · Score: 1

    I was anticipating a jab at West Virginia. You disappoint me.

  13. Re:"Voice Calls Will be Blocked" on Cell SMS in Planes on Trial Down-Under · · Score: 1

    ORLY? OMG!

  14. Re:New meme on IPv6 Tested in Space · · Score: 1

    It's the comment ... of doom!

  15. Re:George, you let us down on SCOTUS Says EPA Can Regulate Carbon · · Score: 1

    Interesting thing is that judges tend not to care about what their appointing politicians think once they've been appointed. What's Georgie gonna do, put out a hit?

  16. Re:Viva Randomness! on Some Dinosaurs Made Underground Dens · · Score: 1

    For large definitions of "long" right?

  17. Re:Since when is the RIAA a company? on RIAA Wins Worst Company In America 2007 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, a company.

  18. Re:This is a hard lesson for the Industry. on CD Music Sales Down 20% In Q1 2007 · · Score: 1

    There's a band in Fairmont, WV called "The Skinnys" that I dig. Also, the singer/guitarist is a coffee shop owner, making the music more easily accessible.

    Otherwise, most of my favorite music seems to be coming from independents lately, like Jade Leary. Google him if you're interested or look on Magnatune.

  19. Re:easy as 1 2 3 on Is Assembly Programming Still Relevant, Today? · · Score: 1

    The future of electrical engineering in America is people who program microcontrollers in BASIC. Isn't that a nice thought?

    I know what you want the reader to say, but could you just quit begging the question and say no?
  20. This is a hard lesson for the Industry. on CD Music Sales Down 20% In Q1 2007 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "You're not entitled to my money" is that lesson.

  21. Re:adverstory on eSATA Connectors · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to see you're back from vacation. Funny thing is, you've missed all the slashvertisements. Hope you enjoy them as much as we don't.

  22. Re:bogus and reality check on File Sharing — Harmful to Children and a Threat to National Security · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry to respond with a question, but have you watched any movies recently? They're just the retelling of stories from a bygone time. There may be some differences here and there, but it really is all the same.

    Maybe future generations will be interested about how our people dressed twenty generations from now. They hopefully won't need to know about our mating habits.

  23. Re:Einstein's Equivalence Principle on Hawking to Take Zero Gravity Ride · · Score: 1

    It depends on the shape of the human mind.

  24. Re:Ninjas on Reflectivity Reaches a New Low · · Score: 1

    Dude, ninja had this stuff long ago. That's why no one's seen them for hundreds of years.

  25. Re:Nothing really unusual about it on Microsoft Vista, IE7 Banned By U.S. DOT · · Score: 2

    He's my second cousin and he doesn't like anything he can't derive.
