  1. Re: Just skin? on Researchers Accidentally Discover How To Turn Off Skin Aging Gene · · Score: 3, Informative

    My grandfather is one of those old farmers, and he definitely doesn't heal as quickly as he used to. In addition, his skin is getting very thin. This is very similar to every other old farmer I've ever met. So while yes, diet and exercise will likely influence the rate of aging, it is incorrect to assume that the effects are a result of poor diet and just sitting around.

  2. Re: a fucking waste on Sony Hacks Continue: PlayStation Hit By Lizard Squad Attack · · Score: 1

    There's no sun here. None I can get this time of year without serious frostbite, anyways. That being said, I agree with the idea behind the words, that this should be an annoyance at most, and if it goes beyond that a serious reevaluation of priorities is in order.

  3. Re:Join the slashdot farewell: on Customer: Dell Denies Speaker Repair Under Warranty, Blames VLC · · Score: 1

    That sums up my situation. UID is a rough guide, not an absolute measure.

  4. only cell phones? on Cell Phones: Tracking Devices That Happen To Make Calls · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure they knew where you were when you were making call with your land line, too. Heck, even when you weren't making a call, they knew where your phone was. Apparently the conspiracy goes waaaaaay back.

  5. simple on Coffee Consumption Strongly Linked To Preventing Alzheimer's · · Score: 1

    i guess i just have to hope i don't forget where i put my coffee cup....

  6. Re:Pub, social, dollars on Single-Player Game Model 'Finished,' Says EA Exec · · Score: 1

    Wow! A 60 hour turd! You'd better have a good multi player game to keep you from getting bored in there.

  7. Re:Good to know. on Why Apple's iPad Has Been Good For Sprint · · Score: 1

    One big difference is spectrum rights. Sprint has a (comparatively) massive swath of spectrum in their "4g" bands which should make it pretty easy for them to handle a pretty large uptick in data use.

  8. Re:Nothing has changed on Colleges Struggling With the Digital Bathroom Wall · · Score: 1

    If PARENTS can't teach to their students that gossip is best ignored, then we have more things to worry about than the gossip itself.

    That works a little better, methinks.
