  1. -1 not funny,disagree, stone this guy to death on UK Politician Arrested Over Twitter 'Stoning Joke' · · Score: 1

    could make a catchy mod option!
    i for one would welcome our new rock bearing overlords.

  2. CPUID registers ? on Research Inches Toward Processor-Specific Malware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    seems a lot easier to me for the majority of cases. a little ASM goes a long way. When in doubt, ASK!
    ok, now you can list all the architectures that don't specifically use CPUID, But they all (even PLC's) report what they are.

  3. Re:describing a family is family unfriendly? on TV Tropes Self-Censoring Under Google Pressure · · Score: 0

    Well it starts and ends like this: Family is basically the principal institution for the socialization of children. When you start forming family units that are no longer capable of producing the primary mission, you are the one that has fucked up
    Just because you accept it, means I should too? I think not. I am not sure what Google's motives are, I wouldn't have clicked the link to begin with. I suggest you take your superior moral outrage with you on your way to BING.

    There is a difference between tolerance and acceptance.

  4. Re:Our F***ed-up Criminal Justice System on Former Student Gets 30 Months For Political DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    C'mon guy, this is Slashdot. She really wasn't your girlfriend was she ?
    On a side note, I bet if mr computer genius had come up with the money to cover the damage he caused, he would've gotten off a lot easier. Being rich and stupid is irritating, Being poor and stupid is intolerable.

    Yes, but the 10% or so that are capable will rule you.
    it is the beloved acceptance of ignorance and mediocrity that society depends on to function as it does now.

  6. Re:Data Sets on Recently Discovered Habitable World May Not Exist · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If, however, U.S. analysis of the Swiss data sets similarly yields a no planet result, and Swiss analysis of U.S. data sets yields a planet exists result, then you can conclude...

    that neither group is good at metric conversions!

  7. Re:Why is this news? on Small Asteroid To Pass Close To Earth Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I only believe half of what i read.
    You: Second, because this is actually passing much closer than the lunar orbit and is thus not a daily event.
    TFA: A five-meter-sized near-Earth asteroid from the undiscovered population of about 30 million would be expected to pass daily within a lunar distance,
    Guess which half?

  8. Finally we get our flying car ! on Small Asteroid To Pass Close To Earth Tomorrow · · Score: 1
    FTA:

    A newly-discovered car-sized asteroid will fly past Earth early Tuesday.

    Don't complain about stupid jokes. In space no one can hear you, on Slashdot no one cares.

    Someone needs a new lawyer, a new agent, or a new life.

  10. Re:first_post on Mexican Senate Votes To Drop Out of ACTA · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I was going to mod you up, being the first to post is quite difficult and requires skill and quick reaction time. But A/C's don't count for first post. Don't you realize it takes longer to login and then join a discussion?
    You didn't really want to write the first post, you just wanted to claim first post. Your cheating, Play fair

    Yes you can, yes I am, yes I did.
    Now just chuckle.

  12. ¥240,000 on Toshiba To Launch No-Glasses 3D TV This Year · · Score: 2, Informative

    They'll cost around ¥120,000 (US$1,430) and ¥240,000 respectively.

    and for the math challenged that works out to US$2,860 for the 20 inch model. :)

  13. Re:So the Internet worked as it should... on Army DNS ROOT Server Down For 18+ Hours · · Score: 1

    I think the problem is something not exactly unlike Army's root server was down for 18 hours.
    and all you can say is DON'T PANIC !?
    wait, what was the question again?

  14. Re:Not Justifying The Actions ... on US Copyright Group — Lawsuits, DDoS, and Bomb Threats · · Score: 1

    >>>0.001% of humans are nutters
    I estimate your math is off by at least one order of magnitude.
    Although I admit the country of origin may influence what qualifies as a nut job.

  15. Re:Time dilation woes. on Earth-Like Planet That Could Sustain Life Found · · Score: 1

    halved if you pick up your matter in the form of space dust on the way.

    which is the next problem you get to solve, after you solve the problem of getting to about .2c (or anywhere close to where the density makes it work) you'll find lot's of holes in whats left of your incredibly hot, flaming spaceship that's hopelessly irradiated by the surrounding red shifted space.
    anti-matter is the easy part.

    i used to dream about going into space. now i read slashdot. I am dying.

  16. Re:Only 20 light years??? on Earth-Like Planet That Could Sustain Life Found · · Score: 1

    More like trying to locate a single grain of sand on all the beaches of planet earth.

    I am pretty sure I can find a single grain of sand on any beach.

  17. Re:Time dilation woes. on Earth-Like Planet That Could Sustain Life Found · · Score: 1

    Your math for time is fine. Now go back and calculate how much fuel (don't care what fuel source - just mass) you are going to use.
    P.S. The rest of us would appreciate it if you keep our moon in it's present orbit. Have a nice trip!

  18. It's the Chinese on CD Sales Continue To Plummet, Vinyl Records Soar · · Score: 1
    They must have figured out some secretly horrible use for them we overlooked.

  19. Re:The checks and balances don't work for software on Most Software Patent Trolls Lose Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    what alternative do you propose to Law?

    Not to be rhetorical, but in my country's history (and others), regardless of politics, guns seem to do well whether enforcing or abolishing "law".

  20. say goodbye to Title 47 CFR Part 15 on FCC White Space Rules Favor Tech Industry · · Score: 1
    Does anyone else see a rush of manufacturers making *absolutely everything* out of cheap leaky components and jamming them into this band? Next you'll have to pay to read the official white list, and pay even more if you want some white space created for you.
    Exactly how much power do i have to pump through my wireless microphone or my guitar hero, or my router to to get it considered as a broadcast device?

  22. the best government is no government on NSA Chief Wants Internet Partitioned For Government, 'Critical' Industries · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    FTA

    the country's critical infrastructure, 85 percent of which is owned by private companies. He said the agencies may need additional powers to take action during a cyber attack.

    Seems to me the best way to improve security on the nations privately owned networks would be to cut the cable to the NSA. If the government want's to improve their internal networks, tell them to stop issuing laptops to morons who "lose" them.

    I wonder what "additional powers" he has in mind? Isn't the Patriot Act draconian enough? When it comes to nationalizing private resources, I suppose this administration is warming up to Cuba more than ever :).

  23. Re:Forward thinkers on When the Senate Tried To Ban Dial Telephones · · Score: 2, Interesting
    That's what they said about ATM's right before they started charging you to use them.

    Of course if I have to put up with one more cashier that can't count and can't speak I may use self checkout more.
    Or shop somewhere else.
