  1. Not allowed to play with Russia on NASA To Send SpaceX Resupply Capsule To ISS Despite Technical Problems · · Score: 2

    Prolly cause Obama doesn't want NASA to play with the Ruskies anymore.

  2. Re:You should have known better on The Best Parking Apps You've Never Heard Of and Why You Haven't · · Score: 0

    Hmm, I was totally amazed that some geeks do buy apps. They should all have their geek cards repossessed.

  3. Re:Obama could issue an Executive Order on Obama Says He May Or May Not Let the NSA Exploit the Next Heartbleed · · Score: 1

    No, Ohbumma can't do squat, due to the large file the NSA has on him.

  4. Re:It's been politicized on Study Rules Out Global Warming Being a Natural Fluctuation With 99% Certainty · · Score: 1

    Real science over 6000 years, eh? The last ice age was more than 10,000 years ago and before that, there were hundreds more. What caused these cycles? Dinosaur farts? Do you really think that since there were hundreds of swamp/ice ages before, that they have anything to do with us and they will magically stop occurring now, just because we are here? The problem with the climate alarmists is that they are hopelessly short sighted. Five hundred years isn't even a blip in geological time. The climate variability problem is much bigger than the alarmists think and there is bugger-all we can do about it.

  5. Re:Why so much resistance to climate science? on Study Rules Out Global Warming Being a Natural Fluctuation With 99% Certainty · · Score: 1

    On a geological time scale, the swings in climate were enormous. The earth changed from a sweltering swamp to a giant snow ball, many, possibly hundreds of times. We had nothing to do with that, since we didn't exist then. At the moment, the earth is warming up following the last ice age 10,000 years ago and it may be due for another ice age in a few thousand years. The cavemen must have burned fantastic amounts of non-existent wood to casue the end of the last ice age don't you think and what caused the end of the previous ice ages? Dinosaur farts?

  6. Re:Deniers - mammals stabilize climate on Study Rules Out Global Warming Being a Natural Fluctuation With 99% Certainty · · Score: 1

    OK, now you try to explain how coal was formed and why we get ice ages. There were no humans back then. If you look at temperature evdence on a geological time scale, then mammals have a stabilizing influence on climate.

  7. Smoking rope on 93 Harvard Faculty Members Call On the University To Divest From Fossil Fuels · · Score: -1, Troll

    They should go back to wearing hemp clothes and smoking rope to stay warm.

  8. The centre of the visible universe on Scientists/Actress Say They Were 'Tricked' Into Geocentric Universe Movie · · Score: 5, Funny

    The earth is the centre of the visible universe and thanks to Einstein's relativity, everything moves around us. So there is absolutely nothing wrong with the geocentrist idea, it just complicates the orbital mechanics equations when you want to fly a space ship to Mars somewhat, that's all.

  9. Not in Canada, eh on Australia Declares Homeopathy Nonsense, Urges Doctors to Inform Patients · · Score: 0

    In Canada the debate is about whether the practitioners have to speak in English to their patients, not about whether the snake oil works or not. However, since it is mainly Chinese using this quackery it doesn't matter all that much...

  10. Re:It's a start on Windows 8.1 Update Released, With Improvements For Non-Touch Hardware · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...and the granddaddy of them all: Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs on DOS. I'm getting old, sorry...

  11. Re:Not available on Meet the Diehards Who Refuse To Move On From Windows XP · · Score: 1

    SQL Ledger has a rather large, international user base.

  12. Re:Interesting, but they admit low-current capabil on Nanodot-Based Smartphone Battery Recharges In 30 Seconds · · Score: 1

    ...because I don't want to drive off with someone else's $20,000 dud battery...

  13. Re:Too long, didn't read. on Judge (Tech) Advice By Results · · Score: 1

    Well, obviously the sucker needs to install both McAfee and Norton, just to make sure his machine will be pest free for a few days...

  15. Printed circuits... on 3D-Printed UAV Can Go From Atoms to Airborne in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see them print the electronics.

  17. Re:Good. on How the Internet Is Taking Away America's Religion · · Score: 0

    OK, so here is a one liner for you that is equally ancient: Can god make a stone so heavy that he cannot lift it?

  18. Re:Dump kernel to serial printer on Linux Developers Consider On-Screen QR Codes For Kernel Panics · · Score: 3, Funny

    Bah. Punch cards are so much better. You young, know nothing, whipper snappers with your newfangled hoosammawhatsits...

  19. US containment designs are uselessly weak on Under Revised Quake Estimates, Dozens of Nuclear Reactors Face Problems · · Score: 2

    The US nuke designs are very weak when compared to the French. The French containment buildings are incredibly strong concrete and steel domes, built on top of huge shock absorbers.

    Penny wise, pound foolish...

  20. Re:No mention of... on CryptoPhone Sales Jump To 100,000+, Even at $3500 · · Score: 1

    If the export requires an export license, then you can be sure that: a) The NSA will modify it before it gets to the user or b) It is so bad that the NSA can't be bothered to modify it.

  21. You don't really need it. Linux != Windows on Ask Slashdot: User-Friendly Firewall For a Brand-New Linux User? · · Score: 0

    Firewalls are mostly a Windows thing. You don't really need one on a Linux desktop.

    You don't even need one on a server either. A server just needs a single rate limiting rule.

    That is why Ubuntu ships with no firewall rules.

  22. Start your own business on Ask Slashdot: the State of Open CS, IT, and DBA Courseware in 2014? · · Score: 1

    Rather than wasting more money on useless universities, buy some books, read them and start your own business.
