  1. Reality follows Fiction on The Police in UK Want AI To Stop Violent Crime Before it Happens (newscientist.com) · · Score: 0

    I wonder if the people calling for this have seen the American tv show, "Person of Interest". That was basically the plot.

  2. Indeed there is. on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Alternative to Facebook? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 0

    My advice, Go out and meet people face to face. Concerts, bars, clubs, look for things like http://www.eventsandadventures... get exercise whilst meeting new people and enjoying life and really being social. beats the hell out of text, memes, and hundreds of "friends" that probably don't really care about you. Life is out there, you just have to find it.

  3. media player on Windows 10 Update Removes Windows Media Player (betanews.com) · · Score: 0

    CCCP = win..and if you think I am talking about Russia, think again.

  4. All of this so plant management could save face by not admitting that they needed help, admitting that there were problems on their watch.

  5. A pardon wont help Snowden on WikiLeaks Calls for Pardons From President Obama -- Or President Trump (wikileaks.org) · · Score: 0

    If he reenters the country, a pardon wont stop the NSA or CIA from disappearing him to a deep dark hole where he will never be seen again.

  6. "urged to be vigilant." on US Intel Officially Blames the Russian Government For Hacking DNC (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    "Yes, help us cover up our nefarious and illegal horseshit shenanigans." -The Democratic Party

  7. Can I filter out anything with the word "triggered" in it so I don't have to look at all the stupidity?

  8. There is a theory on Why Is Gravity the Weakest Force? · · Score: 0

    I have heard about a theory that gravity is sort of leaking into other dimensions that we are thus far unable to detect, making it seem weak to us, but in this other dimension of space/time it would be far stronger. I'd cite a source but I was unable to find the video I watched that talked about this.

  9. Something you're all forgetting on Intuit Charges More For Previously Offered TurboTax Features, Users Livid · · Score: 0

    1: self employment tax forms should be in the version of the software that is meant for self-employed people. I am not defending intuit, being that they likely did this for money reasons, but it does make a bit of sense.

    2. fees paid for tax prep can be deducted. so you're getting the money back anyways. Most people who are self employed or have such income are going to be doing itemized deductions. so why complain about it so much if you're getting all the money back anyways?.

  10. Re:Problem? on The Internet Is Killing Local News, Says the FCC · · Score: 0

    That is most unfortunate.

  11. Problem? on The Internet Is Killing Local News, Says the FCC · · Score: 0

    So long as Fox News is the first to go, I fail to see a problem here.

  12. Re:Time on Turning Your E-Reader Into a Cheap Tablet · · Score: 0

    I have noticed the video issue as well as a couple others. ONLY on my nook color with cyanogen does the nook app not find my books I purchased already, and the google talk app does not show received messages, only sent. Its quite frustrating.

  13. Re:Ridiculous on Texas Bill Outlaws Discrimination Against Creationists In Academia · · Score: 1

    from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster "According to Henderson, since the intelligent design movement uses ambiguous references to a designer, any conceivable entity may fulfill that role, including a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Henderson explained, "I don't have a problem with religion. What I have a problem with is religion posing as science. If there is a god and he's intelligent, then I would guess he has a sense of humor." Your point is hereby vindicated.

  14. Not Surprised. on White House Wants New Copyright Law Crackdown · · Score: 1

    There's been an FBI warning on DVD's and VHS for years saying that it is not for public screening, punishable by fines and/or jail time. I fail to see how streaming is different from public screening. I am by no means in support of our government in its attempt to strange the average joe over movies and mp3s, but it is what it is.

  15. Re:seen this movie already. on Scott Adams Says Plenty Would Choose Life In Noprivacyville · · Score: 0

    so much for people having a sense of humor. It all references the government having far too much control. lighten up before your dingle berries turn into diamonds.

  16. seen this movie already. on Scott Adams Says Plenty Would Choose Life In Noprivacyville · · Score: 0

    SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!

  17. LAME on Microsoft Bans Open Source From the Windows Market · · Score: 0

    Its this kind of underhanded BS that destroys healthy competition in the free market.

  18. Re:Can someone explain this guy's logic to me on Electric Company Wants Monthly Fee For Solar Users · · Score: 1

    Perhaps people in this situation should just put some backup batteries in their basement to charge with their excess power generation to use on rainy days and at night so they can just forgo the whole power company bs :)

  19. Re:Can someone explain this guy's logic to me on Electric Company Wants Monthly Fee For Solar Users · · Score: 1

    Seriously. How can they charge someone for NOT using their power? that's absolutely ridiculous. Were I in the situation of the customer with the Solar Power, I would seek another power company. That has got to be unconstitutional. I wonder if anyone has spoken to a lawyer about this.

  20. Book Reccomendation on Good Physics Books For a Math PhD Student? · · Score: 1

    Anything by Dr Michio Kaku. I am not even a physics student and I always find his stuff a good read.

  21. Copyright Naysayers should be silent on LittleBigPlanet Creations Raising Copyright Questions · · Score: 1

    Didn't anyone teach these people that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Its free publicity. "where did you get that nice design?" "oh its from _____, I like that show/movie/comic/etc so I made a tribute" I fail to see how this scenario or many others infringe on anyone's copyright.

  22. slight of hand on The Stigma of a Tech Support Background · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I would just say that the last 2 years of employment was just to keep you afloat and none of it was relevant so you left it off your resume. Seems ok to me.

  23. Intelligent Design is not Science on Louisiana Passes Intelligent Design Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For something to be science, it must be testable. You have to be able to experiment with it to either prove or disprove it. You cannot do this with intelligent design, therefore it has no place in school classrooms. Anyone who calls this science is daft and needs to have his/her head examined. I a not saying that science and religion should be mutually exclusive, because this is not true. If there is indeed a God, what better way is there to show our appreciation than to strive to understand the universe around us that he created?

  24. Re:IC what? on ICQ Starts Blocking Alternative Clients · · Score: 0

    How would I do this using Pidgin?

  25. Re:FFS on Spore, Mass Effect DRM Phone Home For Single-Player Gaming · · Score: 1, Interesting

    This is nothing short of ignoring anyone who is not always online. It is rude, callous and blatantly giving their fans the finger. I have now withdrawn my preorder.
