  1. Re:Am I the only... on Digitally Filtering Out the Drone of the World Cup · · Score: 1

    really? did you watch Brazil today? they know how to play no matter the sound. I think you people need to get out more.

    From wikipedia:

    The sound level of the instrument has been measured at 127 decibels contributing to football matches with dangerously high sound pressure levels for unprotected ears. A new model, however, announced on 14 June 2010, has a modified mouthpiece which is claimed to reduce the volume by 20 dB

    Really? you mod this insightful?? Modders, read the replies.

  4. Re:They should hire better PR. on NASA Warns of Potential "Huge Space Storm" In 2013 · · Score: 1

    deliberately not saying exactly 2012 makes it more interesting and suspicious, otherwise it would seem like the same old FUD for 2012.

    this builds up further journalism in the future.

  5. Re:don't use swap, doofs on Knuth Got It Wrong · · Score: 2, Funny

    non-sensationalized takeaway: "remember swap is slow; try not to use it."

    Not really. Closer to "Remember, swap is slow. Think about how you use it."

    "Your response has exactly the same length as the parent's quote. Interesting"

  6. Typical /. on Bionic-Eyed Man Wants To Stream Eye Video Online · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've read the comments on the linked article "Film maker working on a bionic eye" and the comments read "fascinating future" "imagination" "great stuff" etc.

    Now the comments here read "Bad idea" "Privacy issues" "Police state" etc.

    So what the heck do you want?

  7. Re:have they bought "Beyond Pitiful" yet? on BP Buys "Oil Spill" Search Term · · Score: 1

    but they've showed no interest in keeping the public informed

    there is a freakin public website with online streaming from the ROVs showing LIVE what happens underwater

  8. Re:have they bought "Beyond Pitiful" yet? on BP Buys "Oil Spill" Search Term · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Listen. Yesterday i did type "oil spill" in google search and got into the bp website, where i found that they have a suggestions page and a volunteer page and I could actually participate for solving this problem. I think it is much more helpful for everyone if bp handles these search terms.

    Or do you prefer to get a massive amount of hate webpages from bloggers that would actually do no difference to the actual problem?

  9. Re:Oil cleanup method on Quantifying, and Dealing With, the Deepwater Spill · · Score: 1

    maybe you should provide this proposal on the bp suggestions website: http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/go/doc/2931/541843

  10. Ask slashdot on Prosecuting DDoS Attacks? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does this mean DDoS is a fairly safe crime to conduct?

    Oh I see "someone" is very interested in DDoS attacks for "research" right? Dude, listen, just give the link here and your problems will be solved.

    Exactly, at least in poker you know you give about 10% as rake and that's basically it. The rest of the money goes to good poker players.

    1) Replace all coal power plants with nuclear

    I enjoy how everyone thinks nuclear energy now, but I wonder what is everyone going to say after the first nuclear energy accident...

  14. Re:Makes sense on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1

    I was wondering. Some things I was taught in school about religion actually make sense in scientific terms.
    For example:


    God creates heaven and earth in 7 days and finally makes human (Big-bang theory stars formation etc)
    God creates life from water, fire and air (maybe these needed for life to evolve?)
    God creates Eve from the ribs of Adam (I always remembered how the amoebae divides into two)
    ...
    So, did they know about amoebae back then? Or the big-bang theory? Or is it just me that I see these relations?

  15. Re:Makes sense on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1

    wtf? do you really take the bible literally?

    In another note:

    God creates the heavens and Earth. The rest was made in China.

    When you write an acronym, it's nice for your readers to mention what the acronym stands for.

    wow I wonder if 1 billion of /.ers can keep a secret...besides we don't have any friends to tell, do we?

  22. Training on Rest In Peas — the Death of Speech Recognition · · Score: 1

    speech recognition requires training because it lies on Machine Learning algorithms. Nobody has time to train their computer. I mean, even us humans need 2-3 years of such "training" in order to start recognizing words.

    yes, but imagine Google was logging car plate numbers together with the address location they are parked and then published all that information on the web. Anyone could find where you live just by looking at your car plate numbers...Is this safe?

    And yes, your car plate number and your home address are both public already, but at least they are not published on the Internets are they?

    Too many Muslims seem anxious to take over Allah's job of punishing unbelievers. It's like they don't trust him to do the job properly or something.

    no they believe it's their job to do so because they are serving Allah. Some Muslim can explain better?
