  1. She FOUNDED RedX on DARPA Hypersonic Vehicle Splash Down Confirmed · · Score: 1

    along with her father (who still runs it). She doesn't rule on contracts they're vying for though; she delegates that to her direct underlings. The very definition of Conflict of Interest.

  2. Exactly on Accused Teen Bomber Finds FBI Surveillance Team's Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Their normal ID is two_guys_from_quantico_pizza .

  3. Yup on Malicious Spam Spikes To 'Epic' Level · · Score: 1

    I've gotten spam in the last three days for the first time in many, many months. Ubuntu/Thunderbird/POP

  4. Cue the protests on Virtual Lab Rat Saves Human Lives · · Score: 1

    from Virtual PETA.

  5. Any objections to this ruling on Judge Dismisses Google's Complaint Over Android Code Viewing · · Score: 1

    are to filed at the courthouse in Redmond, WA.

  6. Citation on The FCC Says ISPs Aren't Hitting Advertised Speeds · · Score: 1

    The Democratic administration just promulgated proposed rules that would have a small farmer lose his farm if he's ever caught taking a pee on the side of the road.

    Citation most definitely needed.

  7. In related news on FTC Probes Android and Google Search · · Score: 0

    Apple has finalized their purchase of the FTC.

  8. 2nd Cameron Proposal on Scotland Yard Confirms It's Using Facial Recognition Tech · · Score: 1

    Make the sale and possession of hooded shirts illegal.

  9. In about ten years on US Energy Panel Cautiously Endorses Fracking · · Score: 1

    the entirety of Appalacia will look like fucking Mordor.

  10. Social = Sold on LinkedIn Hurries To Address Privacy Stumble · · Score: 1

    How much longer before everyone finally gets this through their ADHD-addled brains?

  11. Slow down! on Iron Man-like Exoskeleton Nears Production · · Score: 1

    I'm not done with my hookers and blackjack yet!

  12. "Avatar, the battery is dead" on Dashboard Avatar To Replace Car Owner's Manuals · · Score: 1

    "Avatar?"

    "AVATAR!!"

  13. Re:"Walmart will keep its DRM servers online" on Walmart To Close Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    "Walmart will keep its DRM servers online"

    For how long?

    Until someone in the break room unplugs it to use the microwave.

  14. Adenoviruses on New Drug Could Cure Nearly Any Viral Infection · · Score: 1

    Aren't these harmless viruses being used to transport treatments to target sites such as cancer? Maybe just proposed, I can't recall, but it seems like this drug could wipe out this form of treatment entirely. This could be a massive breakthrough drug, but it could also be the Mother of all Unintended Consequences. Genies out of the bottle very soon, I bet - at least for the very rich and powerful. Though it would be sublime karmic justice if they were the first to find out about the side effects.

  15. Nanoparticles not Nanomachines on Terrorist Target Mexican Nanotechnology Professors · · Score: 1

    That is what should be worried about: particles already on the market that are so small, they easily get past the blood / brain barrier.

    At one time, asbestos seemed miraculous too.

  16. Priorities, people on CERN To Tap Unused Desktop Power To Help Find Higgs Boson · · Score: 1

    This should be a seriously distant second to any similar projects in the medical sector (i.e., Folding@Home). Yes, this stuff could result in things like superconductors or the holy grail of sustainable power-producing nuclear fusion. Maybe. Someday. A far distant third place would be helping to find alien civilizations (Don Henley: "They're not here, they're not coming").

  17. Don't worry on 4G and CDMA Reportedly Hacked At DEFCON · · Score: 1

    the carriers will fix this by rolling out... 5G!!!

  18. Protip on Orange Goo Invades Alaskan Village · · Score: 1

    I'd avoid picking up any 'Alaskan Caviar' from Whole Foods for a while. Same goes for the orange sherbet soon to be available at Long John Silvers.

  19. My TiVo and my Blu-ray player run Linux on Old Arguments May Cost Linux the Desktop · · Score: 1

    My TiVo and my Blu-ray player run Linux.

    And yet, you will never be allowed to run these selfsame Linuxen ironically enslaved to the Content Lords.

  20. HOW MANY TIMES on California DNA Collection Law Struck Down · · Score: 1

    Does it have to be pointed out (on Slashdot, no less!!) that duplicating DNA to plant at the next crime scene or in the evidence locker is a million times easier than duplicating fingerprints, FFS!!

  21. With Scalia and his shadow on California DNA Collection Law Struck Down · · Score: 1

    this police state law will be upheld. #RIPUSA

  22. Deputy Fife on Anonymous Vows To Destroy Facebook · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it is a distraction from a different target they intend to hit on the same day,

    This left me with the impression of Barney Fife being deployed to the wrong part of Mayberry when the unsmiling Yankees in suits roll into town. Thank God for Opie.

  23. Rather insulting on Ask Slashdot: What OS For a Donated Computer? · · Score: 1

    Be ready to do some real support. You may not find it very different form Windows but they will.

    Implying that kids are no different than beat-down, corporatized, cubicle dwellers that are told not to think for themselves. Kids are still unfettered by exposure to hide-bound companies run by dicks asking about the TPS reports, so they won't need as much hand-holding as you seem to imply. In fact; the less exposure to Windows they have, the more quickly they will excell (no pun intended) with Linux.

  24. Typo on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 1

    Blaming the Messanger

    Obviously, I meant to write 'Merganser'.

  25. Literally on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 1

    Blaming the Messanger.
