  1. and this is on slashdot because...? on Two Years In Prison For Using Infrared Contact Lenses To Cheat At Poker · · Score: 2

    oh, yes - an expensive gadget was used in a crime. news at 11

  2. Re:No one see's a problem with this? on US Military Working On 'Optionally-Manned' Bomber · · Score: 1

    Yes, we have reports of Taliban groups intercepting video streams from current surveillance drones, but there's no suggestion that they have access to the control links in any fashion.

    No, of course not. ...No, wait - the Iranians only hijacked a surveillance drone, not a remotely operated nuclear bomber. no problem then... http://bit.ly/vVkpes

  3. How to install it? on Obayashi To Build Space Elevator By 2050 · · Score: 1

    even when technology is mature enough to manufacture a carbon nanotube cable of this magnitude, how can it be set into the required position? An outline that is confirmed to work once it is built is nice, but I have seen no plan how to actually install it... How does one get started to place the first part of the cable?

  4. Re:don't believe it on Artificial Brain '10 Years Away' · · Score: 1
    from the article: "...may also give researchers new insights into diseases of the brain."

    yes, but these are insights into diseases of the artificial brain. I'd rather call this "debugging" followed by far fetched conclusions...

  5. Re: I do care how it works on A Look At Google's Email Spam Prevention · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ...because it's actually not working - Gmail spam filter recently became very ineffective - i have to classify about 5-10 Viagra spams daily. (Google, have you heard of it? geez!) then it occurred to me that a while ago Gmail captcha was cracked, so I imagine spammers send themselves hundreds of spams only to classify them as "non-spam". - as a consequence, spams are now slipping through the crowd-sourced filter because the crowd is infiltrated. c'mon google this can't possibly that hard to fix!

  6. Re:Important? on UN Attacks Free Speech · · Score: 1

    As the UN is not important, why would any media concern itself with this vote?

    Because this gives UN member states that are on the fence on this issue an excuse to stifle free speech and adopt laws outlawing criticism of "their" religions.
