  1. So you need immune bone marrow? on German Doctor Cures an HIV Patient With a Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is there a way to create or replicate this bone marrow? Or will this immune donor be continually used for every AIDS patient in the world? How many natural immune donors are there? I think only a few. But still interesting.

  2. Re:Is this really news? on Small Asteroid On Collision Course With Earth · · Score: 1

    But only to the sudanese slashdotters, or what?

  3. Re:This is fucking cool on Google, Circa 2001 · · Score: 1

    In fact, you could take it literally as "I am a jelly donut", but it's the context that matters.

  4. Re:Second post on After 3 Years, Rockbox 3.0 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Trolls nowadays can't even count to 2?

  5. Re:Hmm... on Debating "Deletionism" At Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Vandalise what pages? The contributions of the admin who deleted the argumented page? I can imagine the angry Wikipedia proletarian mob with torches and pitch forks, clicking continuously on an entry about, like, chicken.

  6. Re:Hubble Windex: For that Deep [Space] Shine! on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 4, Funny

    You mean their SHAB, the Small Hadron Apart Breaker.

  7. Re:Unfortunately on Getting an Independent Project Started? · · Score: 1

    What if I really had an idea for "The Next Big Thing"? Something like the opposite of Virtual Reality, Real Virtuality? What if it were very ambitious, including a mix of new software and hardware and I didn't knew where to start? No one's going to be interested, if there's not already a small implementation of it.

  8. Re:More than scientific learning on LHC Success! · · Score: 1

    Again?

    I really didn't want to know, but the urge to google it was stronger: http://www.i-mockery.com/shorts/three-seashells/

    I am a clod you insensitive ass!

  12. Re:The language of engineers on Learn a Foreign Language As an Engineer? · · Score: 1

    So, employees at an american ice cream shop laughed at you for using English? That would be a good reason for me to never buy HÃagen-Dazs again. It's overated anyway.

  13. Re:Hormel just called on What Happens When You Reply To ALL of Your Spam · · Score: 1

    Juncker would probably blackmail Luxembourg to accept Spam or else he would resign as prime minister.

  14. Re:Run for the hills! on Tsunami Spotted on the Surface of the Sun · · Score: 1

    That's 2 million km/h. I'm astonished by this speed. I'd have thought that this much matter would take a much longer time to travel over the sun. I just calculated it: it's 0.0019 of the speed of light. Still fast.

  15. Re:The Martian Asks: on Tsunami Spotted on the Surface of the Sun · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...followed by an Earth-shattering silence?

  16. Re:April Fewls on IBM Suspended From US Federal Contracts · · Score: 4, Informative

    Don't click on the above link, page contains Virus! (This is _not_ a joke!)

  17. Re:52 buttons on The Curse of Knowledge Bogs Down Innovation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The worst part is that all these 52 buttons probably have a "shift" function, so there are in fact 104 buttons! And what's with the labels? Does anyone really understand (without looking in the guide) what "DTY", "AND" and "NOR" do mean?

  18. Re:URL? on China Anti-Corruption Web Site Crashes On First Day · · Score: 1

    Corruption goes with cronyism.

    Fortunately, when you're in orbit, it won't weigh anything.. Hyperinflation in hyperspace?
  20. Re:Goddamnit on Space Money Invented For Space Tourists · · Score: 5, Funny

    A science fiction term needs the word "space" somewhere in there.

    What about "Space Quasi Universal Intergalactic Denomination"?

  21. Re:Good thing? on The World's Languages Are Fast Becoming Extinct · · Score: 1

    You can't be sure of that. Perhaps my conviction changed the moment when I learned the real meaning of that word.

  22. Re:Good thing? on The World's Languages Are Fast Becoming Extinct · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. As a non-native English speaker, this was the meaning, I was told in school. Perhaps in another context. Thanks for the explication. But the difference between German/English and the French version stays the same.

  23. Re:Good thing? on The World's Languages Are Fast Becoming Extinct · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I know exactly what you mean. Take the expression "to earn money" (as in working for and getting money). In English you "earn" (inherit) it. In French it's "gagner de l'argent", which means "to win money", in German you have "Geld verdienen", you have to "work for it". It's all a question of a certain mentality expressed through language.
