  1. but expand again? on Artificial Muscles Pack a Mean Punch · · Score: 1

    If it can only contract once, then it won't be very useful.

  2. Re:Translation please? on House Subcommittee Holds Hearing On TSA's "Scanner Shuffle" · · Score: 1

    He sez: Homeland security be disbanded. CIA an FBI are cool froods and shoulda be funded.

  3. Re:Wow... on Artificial Wombs In the Near Future? · · Score: 2

    "Am I the only one around here that read each god damn book at least ten times?" Probably yes. Most people around here will remember the iptables man page after reading it a mere 3 times.

  4. Re:jobs program on US Air Force Scraps ERP Project After $1 Billion Spent · · Score: 1

    No, if you get the contract it wont get done either, since you'll spend the next ten years in meetings for 120h per week, while your flunkies try to figure out what the hell they are supposed to do and then it will get cancelled at a cost of 10 billion. The Pentagon never learns and their never ending meetings management process never changes.

  5. Well, duh. on Cyberespionage For Everyone · · Score: 1

    Welcome to circa 1970.

  6. Re:Another - run away, fast on Ask Slashdot: AT&T's Data Usage Definition Proprietary? · · Score: 1

    How will you ever hit a usage limit on 1 Mbps?

  7. Re:Take them to court on Ask Slashdot: AT&T's Data Usage Definition Proprietary? · · Score: 0

    Satellite service should be available too, from multiple providers.

  8. Re:1k increments on Ask Slashdot: AT&T's Data Usage Definition Proprietary? · · Score: 2

    No, the pictures and linked crap and not requested and doesn't get sent to you. Using Adblock and Noscript is the only way to browse the web over a dial-up modem. If you were correct, then browsing with a modem would be impossible.

  9. Re:App permissions on App Auto-Tweets False Piracy Accusations · · Score: 0

    What is this Twitter/Facebook everyone is yammering about?

  10. Re:Official confirmation... on Windows Chief Steven Sinofsky Leaves Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Doesn't matter what MS wants - computer store staff are already telling people to stick with Win7.

  11. Re:Rats. on Windows Chief Steven Sinofsky Leaves Microsoft · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sinofsky was fired for making a mess of Win8 just like the bloke who got fired for making the mess that was Vista. We'll probably be stuck with Win7 for the next 15 years and will have to keep 64 bit Win7 running in compatibility mode on 512 bit processors well into mid century.

  12. Re:Rats. on Windows Chief Steven Sinofsky Leaves Microsoft · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So, I take it that you would prefer descriptive names like Edlin, Excel, Outlook or Lotus123?

  13. Re:What is CO2 doing up there? on Global Warming Felt By Space Junk and Satellites · · Score: 1

    Yup, that is one of the reasons why the sky is blue. The ozone likes to settle in a layer up there.

  14. Re:Global warming causing global cooling... on Global Warming Felt By Space Junk and Satellites · · Score: 1

    I'm Canadian eh. Global warming means that one can farm the tundra in Canada and Russia and will enable the planet to sustain a few billion more people. It is generally a good thing.

  15. Fascist on Man Arrested For Photo of Burning Poppy On Facebook · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It seems that fascism is alive and well in Kent. Do they have a statue of Franco, Mussolini or Hitler in the central square?

  16. Re:Enough said... on Global Warming Felt By Space Junk and Satellites · · Score: -1, Troll

    Nope, it is global cooling you got to be afraid of now. Global warming is passe: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/09/peat_ice_age_coming_only_co2_can_save_us/

  18. Global warming causing global cooling... on Global Warming Felt By Space Junk and Satellites · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yeah, well, no, fine. My BS detector smelled a rat.

  19. 29998 not used for anything important though on The Cyber Threat To the Global Oil Supply · · Score: 1

    Since 29998 were used only to access Facebook this wasn't a big problem. The problem was the 2 used to access Slashdot...

  20. Ice Age is Coming on Brainstorming Ways To Protect NYC From Real Storms · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, the next ice age will freeze up the ocean and stop the hurricanes: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/09/peat_ice_age_coming_only_co2_can_save_us/

  21. Re:We'll run out of oil by the year 2000. on Climate Change Could Drive Coffee To Extinction By 2080 · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, once the planet warmed up sufficiently so that ferns are growing everywhere, they will capture said carbon into a coal seam and the CO2 problem will be fixed in a couple 100 million years or so.

  22. Re:Toshiba to Customers: Drop dead. on Toshiba Pursues Copyright Claim Against Laptop Manual Site · · Score: 1

    You have my condolences. I also have a dead Tosh in a closet. Won't ever buy one again.

  23. Re:Mmmmnnn... on Discovery of Early Human Tools Hint at Earlier Start · · Score: 0

    More than that. The implication is that that something wonderful happened 5 billion years ago when their god created himself from nothing.

  24. Re:NOW I'm moving to Canada on Canadian Copyright Reform Takes Effect · · Score: 4, Funny

    You mean: Sorry to bother you, eh.

  25. No additional war on Barack Obama Retains US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Good. If only because each new US president considers it his sacred duty to wage war against some unfortunate small country in order to get his name into the history books. So we are spared one more war for the next few years.
