  1. Re:The rich and wealthy on China Secretly Clones Austrian Village · · Score: 1

    Possibly, yes. Probably, no.

  2. The rich and wealthy on China Secretly Clones Austrian Village · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't worry about the copy staying similar to the original for too long.

    The wealthy chinese soon will grow tired of the "common looking" of the houses, and will want to "improve" them. Preferably with lots of red and golden colors. And some neon lights.

  3. God did it on What Struck Earth in 775? · · Score: 1

    That's the logical explanation when you can't find any other logical explanation. Ask any religious person.

  4. Re:No wonder Chrome is gaining users on Google Chrome Becomes World's No. 1 Browser · · Score: 0

    The reasons you give are anecdotal. It is just a better browser (especially better than IE).

    > Your excuses, they ring hollow.

    All rings are hollow. Otherwise you would not be able to put your fingers in them.

  6. Re:How RedHat's Linux Can Defeat Micr$oft's Windoz on Linux 3.4 Released · · Score: 1

    "Linux has some neat features, but there's a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt in the community about its legal future."

    Gee. How much do you make by CTRL-c CTRL-v ing Microsoft's propaganda? At least take the time to change the text a little bit.

  7. I would not wear one of those again on Ask Slashdot: Wrist Watch For the Tech Minded · · Score: 1

    Unless it had a LASER to cut through metals or something, I don't see the point.

  8. Yes on Photographers, You're Being Replaced By Software · · Score: 1

    It will eventually happen.

    I'm not clear about the timeframe, though.

  9. We need the money. on Engineer Thinks We Could Build a Real Starship Enterprise In 20 Years · · Score: 1

    Banks need that trillion to "get saved", you insensitive clod.

  10. Re:From what I see on UK Home Secretary Bans US Martial Arts Expert · · Score: 1

    Well, if a Law says "You can't teach how to kill", unless otherwise specified, that includes people trying to kill you, yes. But anyway, that's just technicalities.

    In reality though it seems a combination of two things. He had already done a course like that once in the UK and created a bit of a fuss. The authorities were pissed, so they looked for a way to get rid of him, and found that law. So, they had an excuse to kick him away, and they used it.

    Had he done his first course without the bad publicity, no one would have cared.

  11. Re:From what I see on UK Home Secretary Bans US Martial Arts Expert · · Score: 1

    The complete sentence is "defend yourself by killing others".

    There problem is not with the "defend yourself" part, but with the other.

  12. From what I see on UK Home Secretary Bans US Martial Arts Expert · · Score: 0

    They are turning him down because what he wanted to do something illegal in the UK.

  13. Re:Completely unnecessary on Russia Threatens Pre-emptive, Destructive Force On US Missile Defense · · Score: 1

    Canadians are also North Americans. _

    But they don't need no shields. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police can catch those pesky missiles. With their horses.

  14. Well, I'm sure on Russia Threatens Pre-emptive, Destructive Force On US Missile Defense · · Score: 1

    The americans will find a way to be prepared to pre-emptively address the pre-emptive attacks pre-emptively.

    The US has a great arsenal of pre-emptivelies, and history shows they know how to use them. Before they use them. Because they are pre-emptivelies.

  15. Thunderdome on Apple's North Carolina Data Center Will Feature Biogas Generators · · Score: 1

    A thunderdome will be installed to quickly solve technical disputes.

    Or an iThunderdome, if they invent it fast enough.

  16. Did any of the dummies survive?

  17. Re:WTF am I supposed to call this thing? on New Particle Discovered At CERN · · Score: 1

    Well, aside for the "you moron" bit, it wasn't modded Troll.

  18. Re:Can we just get it over with. on Hobbit Film Underwhelms At 48 Frames Per Second · · Score: 1

    I will not if cinemas start charging more because "hey, in glorious 48fps".

  19. Re:Just whiners on Hobbit Film Underwhelms At 48 Frames Per Second · · Score: 1

    "People have decided that 24fps is "cinematic" since that's what movies have been for so long and so they expect it and hate on things that aren't"

    People have decided that 2D is "cinematic" since that's what movies have been for so long and so they expect it and hate on things that aren't. They need to STFU and just take some time to appreciate a more real format.

    No?

    I thought so.

  20. I thought this was common knowledge on Pigeons May 'Hear' Magnetic Fields · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I've known since my childhood that pigeons (and other birds) had to have some kind of compass inside their heads. Migrations would be impossible without those.

    Wow, that's even stronger than asdfg. Because you have to move your fingers up! Genius!

  23. Numbers are not natural on Study Suggests the Number-Line Concept Is Not Intuitive · · Score: 1

    They don't "exists". They are inventions that we make to try to explain the world. This doesn't make them any less useful, by the way.

    But yeah, trying to call them "natural" or even "intuitive" misses the point. Don't confuse the map with the terrain.

  24. Re:Fuck this. Fuck EVERYTHING about this on Europe Agrees To Send Airline Passenger Data To US · · Score: 4, Funny

    > The German PP for instance seems to be torn by scandal and internal conflict.

    And you say they have no political acumen? That's pretty much what the "regular" parties do.

    No, because they don't have oil.
