  1. I'd like to make them not exist, if they can help all the better.

  2. BTSync to friend/family/neighbor if only on Ask Slashdot: What's The Best Way To Backup Large Amounts Of Personal Data? (foxdeploy.com) · · Score: 1

    It would be great if BTSync (now Resilio Sync) had an encrypt end folder feature or something like that, imagine backing up to another persons place for only the cost of direct connect storage or NAS (on their system, assuming you don't exceed data caps).

  3. Won't be uncommon in 70 years on 'Longest Living Human' Says He Is Ready For Death At 145 (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Although there a many doubter, to me it doesn't matter whether this one person reached that age (his relative may argue or not), what matters is that it won't be uncommon in 70 years (those in their 50 and 60 could go beyond that). A number of technologies are reaching their tipping point.

  4. The new format is terrible to me, it doesn't give you enough info.
    Example: iOS 9 1K people talking about this
    Previously it would give you a little more about what is trending like iOS 9 Root Exploit Bug Discover, etc

  5. In need of a solution on New Mexico Nuclear Accident Ranks Among the Costliest In US History (latimes.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Maybe they should just let these go to town on the cleanup?

  6. Re:Deadpool suceeded, SS failure on Suicide Squad Fans Petition To Shut Down Rotten Tomatoes Over Negative Reviews (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Having seen SS today in IMAX 3D, I can say, wow, bad, bad movie, although the last 20-30 minutes were better.
    Now could I have done better, probably not (or definitely not) but the way the story unfolded (or didn't as the case may be) left me thinking to myself repeatedly, WTF, WTF...

    DC Comics please bring in some fresh talent (or old new talent) to do something, Marvel is kicking your @ss

  7. Re:Can't wait... on Galaxy Note 7 Iris Scanner Explained (androidauthority.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Samsung's copying others now, Microsoft put it in the Lumia 950/XL almost a year ago, and ZTE's Grand S3 had about 18 months ago.

  8. Re:Deadpool suceeded, SS failure on Suicide Squad Fans Petition To Shut Down Rotten Tomatoes Over Negative Reviews (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Soooooooo true, brainless lemmings (although well paid).

  9. Deadpool suceeded, SS failure on Suicide Squad Fans Petition To Shut Down Rotten Tomatoes Over Negative Reviews (variety.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    From what I understand Deadpool was created without input from studio executives, Suicide Squad was just the opposite and was actually recut to try and copy Deadpool humor. Maybe getting rid of the committees that make so many bad movies will bring us more entertainment.

  10. Re: Medical establishment vs low cost options on Elizabeth Holmes Finally Releases Theranos Data, Including A 'miniLab' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    "It's not like silicon valley." and that's why it's slow and takes decades if not centuries to develop and release anything new. Theranos was FDA approved, it didn't just pop up and start doing things, they went through there same hoops just with a large number of Washington insiders pushing it.
    Keep posting and hiding behind Anonymous Coward.... It shows nothing beyond a 110.

    Moron, wow, your narrow assumption then is that no new technology will ever be created that will be cheaper, more effective and more efficient , you do realize you are on a tech site?

  12. Medical establishment vs low cost options on Elizabeth Holmes Finally Releases Theranos Data, Including A 'miniLab' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 0

    I've got a bucket of popcorn and I'm cheering on Theranos because it's only companies like this that are going to shake up the current medical pricing model. I think it's stupid that they screwed up so badly on the first round, but I'm still hoping they can turn it around.

  13. The vagus nerve runs from the brain to every major organ in the body is is referred to as the brain gut highway and is thought to help control the biome in the gut. That biome being out of wack is currently believed to be responsible for obesity, diabetes and a large number of auto-immune diseases

  15. Vagus Nerve Stimulation going to be big money on Google's Alphabet and GSK Forge $715 Million Bioelectronic Firm To Fight Diseases Without Meds (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    A couple companies are dipping their toes into the Vagus Nerve Stimulation market, with it potentially curing a number of auto-immune disorders (RH, UC, Crohn's), epilepsy, etc.

    The fun part is you can already do the treatment without electrical stimulation, but it may be better to have clear testable scenarios.

  16. I'm shocked, leader push their agenda on WikiLeaks Releases Hacked Voicemails From DNC Officials (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I bet anyone, that in the last 40 years that the leaders of each political party in the US have pushed for their favorites to be nominated and elected. The whole point of super delegates in the Democratic Party was to ensure that some extreme candidate didn't get the party nomination (cough, cough, Trump via the Republicans..) and create chaos.

    The system is far from perfect and Bernie Sanders did a great job of getting people thinking, but until the presidential election is tax payer funded (and Citizen United overturned ) and open (2-8 parties based on some equation) we will be stuck choosing between the lesser of two instead of the greatest of two or more.

  17. Pornhub should be the default page on Avast Suckers GOP Delegates Into Connecting To Insecure Wi-Fi Hotspots (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    All web browsers should have pornhub be the default landing page, make it easy on everyone.

  18. If they don't remain competitive, a new technology will come along and they will be gone.
    That may still happen :-)
    But this is just like going to the government and asking for tax breaks to build something you have to build.

  19. Jails would be full on Password Sharing Is a Federal Crime, Appeals Court Rules (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    The number of employees that share passwords (and usernames) is huge, the jails would be overflowing... Oh wait, they are with drug related crimes already.

  20. See under definition "geek" on Red Hat Exec Marries A Couple At Red Hat Summit (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    This is truly a geek moment, and double landing on slashdot

  21. More US H1B visas are the solution on Age-Discrimination Suit Against Google Seeks Class Action For Engineers (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    It's ageism but it's also about pay, the companies don't want to pay older skilled workers when they can claim a shortage and get cheap labor.
    Every company should report on workplace diversity include age, race and sex.

  22. Not a fan of Spotify or Apple Music on Apple Slams Spotify For Asking For 'Preferential Treatment' (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 2

    It really sounds like Spotify is feeling financial pressure so they are trying to negotiate better terms by claiming Apples behavior is all about pushing Spotify out of business, when the truth is Apple benefits from Spotify being successful (the more they sell the more Apple makes). The only question in my mind is, does Apple make more net profit from that 30% of Spotify revenue (for just hosting) or does it make more with Apple Music (where it has to code, test, support, advertise, host and pay labels/artists)?

  23. The main reason the web needs to remain open on Elizabeth Warren Says Apple, Amazon and Google Are Trying To 'Lock Out' Competition (recode.net) · · Score: 3, Informative

    If ISP put restrictions on ports etc, it will make it harder for the next Amazon, Apple or Google to prosper and grow. You look at Comcast, they advertise that they block port unless you pay twice as much for half the speed.

  24. Took 9 years to find a lawyer on Florida Man Sues Apple For $10+ Billion, Says He Invented iPhone Before Apple (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    It actually took 9 years to find a lawyer that was willing to waste time and money on something that is a joke

  25. Justice is blind and buggy on Wisconsin's Prison-Sentencing Algorithm Challenged in Court (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    In the US there are already way too many people in jail, letting buggy software sentence people is a joke.
