  1. Re:Urine! on 100 Years of Chemical Weapons · · Score: 1

    No Bullshit. It really happened.

  2. Urine! on 100 Years of Chemical Weapons · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Many Canadian troops outwitted the Germans during WWI by urinating on a cloth and holding it over their face to neutralize the effects of chlorine gas.

    Our troops are awesome!

    It's just too bad that we can't give the same respect to our "leaders".

  3. The End on NSA, GHCQ Implicated In SIM Encryption Hack · · Score: 1

    These "intelligence" agencies should be sued, fined and prosecuted until they are completely out of business.

  4. Re:What if... on Inside the Mind of a Schizophrenic Through Virtual Reality · · Score: 1

    I was not "peddling" anything. I just said 'what if'.

  5. Re:What if... on Inside the Mind of a Schizophrenic Through Virtual Reality · · Score: 1

    The sparrows are flying again.

  6. What if... on Inside the Mind of a Schizophrenic Through Virtual Reality · · Score: 3, Funny

    What if there were beings or entities that existed just outside our range of perception, that we are not aware of?

    Much like a dog whistle, which humans cannot hear. What if some people were 'sensitive' to other energies - sounds, lights, etc. that were outside the normal realm of human perception?

    What if schizophrenic people weren't "hallucinating", so to speak, but were able to actually "perceive" these energies or beings?

    Ahh, what then?

  7. One way trip? on Mars One: Final 100 Candidates Selected · · Score: 1

    Isn't that what happened to the crew of the space shuttle Challenger?

    And wouldn't the moon be a more logical choice, considering it is closer? Sorry, but this just looks like empty promises and a money grab to me.

  8. Re:GOTO is a crutch for bad programmers on Empirical Study On How C Devs Use Goto In Practice Says "Not Harmful" · · Score: 1

    Ecstatic.

  9. Re:A new tech leader? on Tech Industry In Search of Leadership At White House Cyber Summit · · Score: 1

    Please don't use Snowden and Suck-a-turd in the same sentence.

    One is a hero; the other a weinerhead.

  10. Re:A new tech leader? on Tech Industry In Search of Leadership At White House Cyber Summit · · Score: 1

    Sadly, you are probably right. It's quite the mess in America these days.

  11. Re:GOTO is a crutch for bad programmers on Empirical Study On How C Devs Use Goto In Practice Says "Not Harmful" · · Score: 1

    Sure.

  12. An idea... on Study: 8 Million Metric Tons of Plastic Dumped Into Oceans Annually · · Score: 1

    Let's make the companies who unnecessarily over-package their products with ridiculous amounts of plastic be responsible for their pollution.

  13. A new tech leader? on Tech Industry In Search of Leadership At White House Cyber Summit · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I nominate Edward Snowden.

    Let's do the right thing here - grant him clemency and welcome him home.

  14. Re:GOTO is a crutch for bad programmers on Empirical Study On How C Devs Use Goto In Practice Says "Not Harmful" · · Score: 1

    You obviously have much more time on your hands.

    Do you realize how absolutely ludicrous that is? Demonstrating readability in "ALL" cases?

    Sorry, but I have better things to do than entertain naysayers.

  15. Re:GOTO is a crutch for bad programmers on Empirical Study On How C Devs Use Goto In Practice Says "Not Harmful" · · Score: 0

    Why? My point has been made.

  16. Re:GOTO is a crutch for bad programmers on Empirical Study On How C Devs Use Goto In Practice Says "Not Harmful" · · Score: 1

    Fundamentally, perhaps, but in actuality, no.

    If there is no goto keyword then there is no goto usage.

  17. Re:GOTO is a crutch for bad programmers on Empirical Study On How C Devs Use Goto In Practice Says "Not Harmful" · · Score: 1

    "What would you propose as a better alternative..."

    A switch/case statement, or function calls.

    Using "goto" is akin to using global variables, imho.

  18. Design "Bug" on Microsoft Fixes Critical Remotely Exploitable Windows Root-Level Design Bug · · Score: 0

    Hahahahahhahahaha... breathe.. hahahahaha

  19. Re:Delusional or a scam. on Hobbyists Selling Tesla Coil Kits To Fund Drone Flight Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    Nice! Thanks for sharing :)

  20. Why? on Neil Armstrong's Widow Discovers Moon Camera In Bag · · Score: 1

    If we went to the moon in the sixties, then why haven't we gone back in the last 40-50 years?

  21. Easy! on Ask Slashdot: What Will It Take To End Mass Surveillance? · · Score: 1

    My custom made parabolic tin-foil hat gives me +5 save vs. surveillance.

  22. Re:Seriously? Look at History on Ask Slashdot: What Will It Take To End Mass Surveillance? · · Score: 1

    A little Islamophobic, are we?

  23. Re:Seriously? Look at History on Ask Slashdot: What Will It Take To End Mass Surveillance? · · Score: 1

    I agree with your first statement 100%.

    "...because we're the ones that elected these idiots..."

    These idiots were 'selected' not 'elected' by the powers that be. Elections only give the people the illusion of choice. For example, 'Dubya' was not voted into office by the American people; he was appointed by the "justice" department.

    However, I do agree that ultimately we are responsible because, elections or no, we have allowed these monsters to take control.

  24. What Will It Take To End Mass Surveillance? on Ask Slashdot: What Will It Take To End Mass Surveillance? · · Score: 1

    The exposition and prosecution of elite pedophiles.

  25. Why? on Report: Automakers Fail To Fully Protect Against Hacking · · Score: 1

    Why do we need wireless services in our cars? GPS I can understand (although I don't use it myself). Wireless? Internet? Why?

    Self driving, Internet-ready cars are a really bad idea, imho.

    I can just see some 13-year old script kiddie 'hacking' into your car and controlling it with his racing wheel. Better yet, testing his script on your car in an effort to work out the real-world bugs...

    No thanks.
