    Leave the keys under the doormat please. I know some hard working families who need affordable housing.

  3. So... on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 1

    we would really be voting for the vice president as president?

  4. Re:the worst summary for the worst proposal. on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 1

  6. Calorie counting doesn't work. on Coca-Cola To Fund Research That Shifts Blame For Obesity Away From Bad Diets · · Score: 2

    Until you actually try it. Then when the weight starts dropping after a couple weeks, you wonder why you denied the obvious for so long.

  7. Re:Fat? It's not your fault! on Coca-Cola To Fund Research That Shifts Blame For Obesity Away From Bad Diets · · Score: 1

    You forgot to blame Obama.

  8. Re:Frogs on Amid Agony, Scientists Discover World's First Venomous Frog · · Score: 1

    In this case it makes a big difference. "Injectors" are for predation (snakes, spiders, etc.) "Spines" are for defense (frogs, fish, rays, etc.)

  9. The fist case in history on Tesla's Creepy 'Solid Metal Snake' Robotic Charger Slithers Its Way Into Model S · · Score: 1

    where being fast is preferred.

  10. Vendor lock-in on Windows 10 Start Menu Wins IDSA Design Award · · Score: 1

    '...the new menu makes it easy to access files across platforms, as it brings together [Windows] PCs, tablets, and phones...'

    The criteria for the award is that that the interface is effective at locking users into Windows hardware devices they don't want? Did it make the desktop interface better? No. It just compels you to buy other Windows devices.

  11. Reddit technology monopoly on Reddit Updates Content Policy, Bans More Subreddits · · Score: 4, Funny

    If Reddit shuts off the supply, how will anyone express an opinion on the internet? Nobody has the capability to reverse engineer the decades or proprietary research and technology that enables posting comments on an internet forum.

  12. Don't upset academics on USC Vs. UC San Diego In Fight Over Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 1

    They'll take you to school.

  13. Re:Question for user community on LibreOffice 5.0 Released · · Score: 2

    You may reach a level of professional success and responsibility where you measure cost not in dollars but in total time required to get from start to finish.

    Money is fungible, time is precious. This is why many "free" alternatives really aren't. I support the principals of FOSS and eagerly adopt FOSS tools wherever they pass an honest cost/benefit analysis. I think the FOSS community would have more success if they stopped thinking "free" is their main advantage. Cost is measured in time/hassle/fuss.

  14. Facebook will do what is best for its stock price. on Facebook Allows Turkish Government To Set the Censorship Rules · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Period.

  15. Re:Winter? on Will Autonomous Cars Be the Insurance Industry's Napster Moment? · · Score: 2

  16. Re:Ha, lower rates lol on Will Autonomous Cars Be the Insurance Industry's Napster Moment? · · Score: 1

    Agreed, we should get rid of crumple zones and go back to rolling battering ram frames. Funerals are way cheaper than auto repairs.

  17. I support this motion on Cameron Tells Pornography Websites To Block Access By Children Or Face Closure · · Score: 1

    to remove British porn from the internet.

    Wait... that's not what they are proposing?

  18. Won't some one PLEASE think of the children on Cameron Tells Pornography Websites To Block Access By Children Or Face Closure · · Score: 1

    .. and not our lack of leadership regarding issues of poverty, income inequality, education, criminal bankers, revolving door lobbyist appointments, pollution, global warming.

    I thought this type of wedge issue diversion was mostly an American political tactic.

  19. OP has a point on Ask Slashdot: Everyone Building Software -- Is This the Future We Need? · · Score: 1

    Hardware speed has improved exponentially for decades. Application speed, capability, and quality has not.

  20. But any embarassing data after age 18 on UK Campaign Wants 18-Year-Olds To Be Able To Delete Embarrassing Online Past · · Score: 1

    should haunt you in perpetuity?
