  1. Re:It's not really a problem on Possible Collision Between Cube-satellite and Old Space Junk · · Score: 1

    It could be worse, what if its mission was to probe soil samples 8-(

  2. Re:Terrorists win again on Terrorist Murder In London Could Revive Snooper's Charter · · Score: 1

    If governments would stop making terrorism so incredibly effective then maybe people would stop doing it.

  3. Re:Fuck you for bringing in political correctness on Curiosity Rewarded: Florida Teen Heading to Space Camp, Not Jail · · Score: 2

    Although it's never happened before, theoretically a white civil rights group could exist and be an actual non-racist civil rights group rather than just another thinly veiled hate group.

    It would just be the most unnecessary and probably idle civil rights group that ever existed.

  4. Re:Sad legitimate researchers on A Cold Look at Cold Fusion Claims: Why E-Cat Looks Like a Hoax · · Score: 2

    As a side note.... you thought global warming was bad with coal plants and such, just wait until everybody is turning out gigawatts of energy on a personal basis and wondering where all of that heat is going after it has been used for something else!

    Huh? Production of heat in the atmosphere would have very little effect compared to augmenting the atmosphere's ability to retain heat. Your hypothetical scenario would more likely solve the problem of global warming instantly.

  5. Re:Mains humm can help, for once on Ask Slashdot: How To Determine If a Video Has Been Faked? · · Score: 1

    It might work for a battery-powered camcorder if it can visually pick up the hum from indoor lighting.

  6. Very cool on Quadcopter Drone Network Will Transport Supplies For Disaster Relief · · Score: 1

    And very useless. The only thing crappier than the payload of a quadcopter is its range while carrying a full payload.

  7. Re:Software Robotics?!? on Immigration Reform May Spur Software Robotics · · Score: 5, Funny

    At our office we use software hardware. It really saves on the hardware hardware costs.

  8. Re:Requires more metal on Working Handgun Printed On a Sub-$2,000 3D Printer · · Score: 3, Informative

    You don't understand how they work. They work more like radar than a magnetic sensor, non-ferrous metals don't stand out as much but they're still very much detectable.

  9. Re:Requires more metal on Working Handgun Printed On a Sub-$2,000 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    Around December last year, entering a convention center where politicians often speak.

  10. Re:Requires more metal on Working Handgun Printed On a Sub-$2,000 3D Printer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Both use a metal firing pin and are designed with the non-functional metal piece, the Lulz version also uses some screws for structural strength that would be much harder to replace with something non-metallic.

  11. Re:stratasys lies about strength? on Working Handgun Printed On a Sub-$2,000 3D Printer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When a marketing claim conflicts with real-world-testing-based claims by tinkerers, I consider the marketing claim to be false until proven otherwise.

  12. Requires more metal on Working Handgun Printed On a Sub-$2,000 3D Printer · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Lulz Liberator uses more metal parts than the original Liberator...so at least this would be harder to sneak past a metal detector.

  13. Re:A win for me on Web of Tax Shelters Saved Apple Billions, Inquiry Finds · · Score: 2

    But it only controls a compound in the capital. The rest is practically ungoverned.

  14. Re:Did they break any laws? on Web of Tax Shelters Saved Apple Billions, Inquiry Finds · · Score: 1

    Coca-Cola has an office in Somalia that they use for this...it's resident in Somalia, 0% tax of any kind.

    I could see a new Ugland House being built in a well-guarded compound in Somalia if governments were to ever close these loopholes...or maybe even if they don't.

  15. Re:No keyboard, no care. on Jolla Announces First Meego Phone Available By End 2013 · · Score: 1

    Maybe one of the changeable back modules could have a hardware keyboard.

  16. Re:Who gets root? on Jolla Announces First Meego Phone Available By End 2013 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's what I want to know too. With device owner root and a hardware keyboard this could be an N900 replacement.

  17. Re:First terrorist on Florida Activates System For Citizens To Call Each Other Terrorists · · Score: 1

    The Dictator was good. Not as funny as Borat or Bruno, but by no means a stinker.

  18. Re:What? Again? on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 1

    So what comes after social interaction and entertainment? How much potential is there for more trivial work?

  19. Re:What? Again? on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 1

    Oh I see you're a Gen. X'er who saw some benefit. Well not all of you benefitted, and now Gen. Y has to bear the brunt of the consequences (so far).

  20. Old School B-) on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With a Fear of Technological Change? · · Score: 2

    Stay cool, don't be a fool.

  21. Re:Buy American? on How European Startups Are Battling Labor Laws For Developers and Programmers · · Score: 1

    Is that a strawman or did you misread my comment?

  22. Re:What? Again? on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd look at the last 30-40 years for an example of what will happen: Less jobs, stagnant pay, more ludicrous wealth for a select few.

  23. Re:Buy American? on How European Startups Are Battling Labor Laws For Developers and Programmers · · Score: 1

    Because conservatives think poor people have the intelligence of wild animals, it's a recurring theme.

    Or the Mary Beth Sweetland principle if you prefer.

    About as good as any other weapons market willing to sell to whoever is the highest bidder...
