  1. Re:Of course on Ask Slashdot: Can Yahoo Actually Stage a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    If it had been a man, would have you even commented? I'll admit its not a term i would have used, but only because of the distraction you are providing my white-knighting it.

    Why not? Would you have objected to a similar insult to a man?

  3. Re:I look forward to hearing about why this will f on Microsoft Unveils Xbox One · · Score: 1

    They went with One because they couldnt go to 4 and One signifies it as a 'unifying' experience. Its basically Microsoft hubris at its finest.

    It IS a PC. Please stop with the 'consoles are hyper-optimized' bullshit.

    Xbox and PS4 are going to be roughly identical hardware wise. The game devs demanded it.

    IT was time that did it. MS HAD to get xbox360 out the door before Sony. At the time PS2 was a monster and no one knew that Sony was going to drop a $599 egg.

    It has HDMI in and out. It will overlay what you have

  8. Re:But I like guns! on House Bill Would Mandate Smart Gun Tech By U.S. Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    Cars kill people through NEGLIGENCE and human error. Calling them accidents wipes away the human fault. It would make FAR more sense to work on automated cars then self-limiting guns.

    This is in development, catastrophic failure is part of the process. Would you like to see some NASA development fiascos?

    All it has to do is be able to stream local content and not be completely locked to google and we will have a winner.

  11. Re:I want one on After Kickstarter Record, Pebble Smartwatch Lands $15M From VCs · · Score: 1

    Thats interesting. I too made the 'cellphone is pocketwatch' observation. I even bought a prop pocketwatch to explore making it into a modern device.

  12. Re:No possible way this goes anywhere on FBI Considers CALEA II: Mandatory Wiretapping On Every Device · · Score: 1

    THe fact that the other powers that be arent screaming "THAT IS ILLEGAL" is what is scary. There is no way to pass this law without an amendment.

  13. Re:Sheesh on FBI Considers CALEA II: Mandatory Wiretapping On Every Device · · Score: 2

    SO you are saying that if you were a signals intelligence person you would blatantly ignore the Constitution? You are the reason shit like this happens. There is no law Congress can pass short of an amendment that would make this activity legal.

    Why does it have to be nefarious? I have a real desire to be able to record everything i encounter if i desire. It opens up some very interesting possibilities It is not nefarious to collect photons in public.

    Google Glass is merely the public facing tip of a very large iceberg. Wearable cameras arent going away.

    Your 'reconnaissance of vulnerable targets' is why i cant take pics of bridges anymore without feeling the chilling effect on my neck. You REALLY should study the meaning of Liberty.

    I know so many people who would roast babies for a living if it was socially acceptable and paid well.

    This clap-trap is insightful? Wouldnt it be nice if we could evolve to a point where we dont feel the need to trample our peers to survive? At our level of intelligence, cooperation is FAR more productive then competition.

  23. Re:The Haystack on Florida Activates System For Citizens To Call Each Other Terrorists · · Score: 1

    The problem here is getting the U.S. military to fire on US citizens en masse. Try telling a B-2 pilot he has to go carpet bomb Kansas City.

    Because we shouldn't be telling people that they need to look for terrorists everywhere. THe odds the average american are going to meet an actual terrorist are incredibly slim. This is simply a road to hell.
