  1. Re:Don't make him angry! on Bruce Perens: The Day I Blundered Into the Nuclear Facility · · Score: 1

    Mr. Fantastic, actually. Unstable Molecules.

  2. Re:So... I read the article. on Bruce Perens: The Day I Blundered Into the Nuclear Facility · · Score: 2

    I guess cancer is kind of like a super power.

  3. Re:ah, Ender's game on The Sci-fi Films To Look Forward To In 2013 · · Score: 2

    What a twist!

  4. Devoid of human life on The Sci-fi Films To Look Forward To In 2013 · · Score: 1

    But is there ape life?

  5. Re:SHIT GOLD BRICKS on Super Bacteria Create Gold · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought that was leprechauns. You get their chamber pot of gold if you catch them.

  6. Head injuries on To Encourage Biking, Lose the Helmets · · Score: 1

    "injuries" during ladder climbing or taking a bath... Are they head injuries? I think there's a reason why helmets are required for cyclists. Of course I had two head injuries from cycling as a child without a helmet so maybe I don't think as good as I think.

  7. If a game show host can be an agent on Glenn Beck Reports CIA Plot Between Embassy Killing and Something Awful · · Score: 2

    An eve online dude can work for the CIA too.

  8. Re:Copycat suicides on A Suicide Goes Viral On the Internet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When a society is successful, it finally has the luxury of protecting its weakest members. You may have your cause and effect reversed.

  9. Re:In America ... on Sugar Batteries Could Store 20% More Energy Than Li-Ions · · Score: 1

    In America, first you get the sugar then you get the couch, then you get the diabetes.

  10. Re:Really bad in Canada on Apple CEO Tim Cook Apologizes For Maps App, Recommends Alternatives · · Score: 1

    Maybe Apple bought bargain basement 5 year old data?

  11. He has shown weakness! on Apple CEO Tim Cook Apologizes For Maps App, Recommends Alternatives · · Score: 0

    Pile on!

  12. Re:Jerk-Faced Butthole on What Should Start-Ups Do With the Brilliant Jerk? · · Score: 2

    My bet is on "jerk-faced" being unrelated, stemming instead from "[beef] jerky" as a way to insult a leathery skinned person.

  13. Re:Ignore this story. on Facebook Denies Leak of Users' Private Messages · · Score: 1

    This story is actually important. Maybe not for /. users, but I have friends who are still spreading the PM FUD on FB.

  14. Re:Yawn on Japanese Scientists Produce Element 113 · · Score: 0

    I always use 14 people (until later when I get an avenger). When you're clearing out a terror site or capturing an alien battleship, you need the raw numbers to sweep the area. One or two guys get stuck with "motion sensor" duty, and the rookies are useful for opening suspect doors (where you know 2-3 aliens are lurking inside). Also, if the soldiers are tougher and the terror sites are smaller, there's little chance for fear. Also, I was wrong; it's a 4 soldier limit that can be expanded to 6 with add-ons.

  15. Re:This happened a long time ago on DNC Salute to Vets Featured Backdrop Of Russian Warships · · Score: 1

    Incorrect. I also listen to Rush Limbaugh. This was brand new to me.

  16. Re:This happened a long time ago on DNC Salute to Vets Featured Backdrop Of Russian Warships · · Score: 1

    I for one have never heard of this. I'm betting a lot of people haven't.

  17. Re:Yawn on Japanese Scientists Produce Element 113 · · Score: -1

    Is it still planned to have small terror sites and only six squaddies per mission? If the sizes are increased to be much bigger, I might buy it (depending on DRM).

  18. I'm seeing a lot of Gentoo-Ubuntu on Ask Slashdot: What Distros Have You Used, In What Order? · · Score: 1

    Is it just the timing of when gentoo and ubuntu were first released (flavor of the month), or were people getting sick of gentoo's peculiarities and just wanting a Linux that worked immediately after install?

  19. Re:Why not use tools that help do it? on Ask Slashdot: Should Developers Install Their Software Themselves? · · Score: 1

    /bin/sh ./configure
    /usr//bin/make
    /usr/bin/make install

    If the make fails, a non-advanced linux guy will freak out, call an advanced linux guy who will promptly ask why they absolutely must have feature $foo in the latest version of $app instead of using the stable version in the distro's repo. If the answer is good, advanced linux guy will install the missing headers (or correct some broken C code). Otherwise, the stable app will be installed via apt or yum.

  20. Re:Incidentally... on Beer Is Cheaper In the US Than Anywhere Else In the World · · Score: 4, Funny

    i rather drink water than american beer lol

    That's like saying you'd rather eat bacon instead of something that came from a pig.

  21. Re:Huge increase in total travel time on Tesla Reveals Charging Station Sites In 3 US States · · Score: 1

    Unless they're battery replacement stations, but those won't fly until there are a whole lot of them (in case you get swapped a dud).

  22. Re:Good luck with those new map service. on iOS 6 Adoption Tops 25% After Just 48 Hours · · Score: 1

    No, Google Maps for iOS 5 and earlier does not have turn by turn directions. Not even mute ones. It has routes between two points, drawn on a north upward 2D map. There's no indicator saying what direction you need to take at the next junction.

    Yes, it does. I use it whenever I take a trip. You have to tell it when you've turned, but it shows you a new map up to the next turn. If you can't understand a north-upward 2D map, then you've got problems.

  23. Re:No thanks on Apple Reportedly Luring Ex-Google Mappers With Jobs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Glad I'm not the only one who imagined Steve Jobs' corpse tied to a string and being dragged along the sidewalk in front of Google's headquarters.
    "Oh, hey, Look! A Steve Jobs free for the taking!"
