  1. Re: I believe this is the first on Drone Photos Lead to Indictment For Texas Polluters · · Score: 1

    Do you think these laws would stop government and corporate drones as well? We already have Google Street View vans & drones and others used for mapping, police drones, and the DHS and three-letter spook agencies will have them soon if they don't already. If laws won't be put in place to stop those as well then I say leave the playing field level.

    Looks more like a sample of the Randroid to English dictionary to me.

  4. Re:Economic Remedy? on The New Ethanol Blend May Damage Your Vehicle · · Score: 1

    I thought you were referring to potential damage since that's the topic of this discussion.

    Damage aside, you're right that it would be better for the local economy to "in-source" some fuel production.

    Higher temperatures? Ethanol burns cooler than gasoline...

  7. Re:It isn't the engine that's being harmed... on The New Ethanol Blend May Damage Your Vehicle · · Score: 1

    Flex fuel cars can actually adjust for a range of gasoline/ethanol mix using a sensor that detects the fuel mix, it's not just a handful of different "profiles."

    I'm going to hook up a flex-fuel sensor to my sports car next year but it's more for longevity than performance, I just run whatever pump gas is available and the compression ratio isn't high enough for any meaningful gains.

  8. Re:Maybe Facebook does not want help. on The Trials and Tribulations of a Would-Be Facebook Employee · · Score: 1

    Wow and I felt bad because my company's had a small handful, but I'm about as good as all of Apple's web devs combined it seems. Imagine if they actually motivated me to get shit done with money.

  9. Re:It's just training for future geekery on Has Lego Sold Out? · · Score: 1

    I'd always build the thing according to the manual, enjoy it for a bit, then deconstruct it, adding the parts to the lego reservoir to build more original stuff. The same will be done today, so these people are whining over nothing unless they're concerned about the higher number of "special purpose" parts (which could be an issue).

    Lego sold out before they got started anyways, by ripping it off from a small company whose owner went broke and killed himself, and then Lego bought out that company:

    Yes everything you enjoyed as a kid has a dark and horrible past, even Lego.

    Where did he admit to manipulating the data? And don't bring up "hide the decline" because that's been done to death.

  12. Re:Heh on Ask Slashdot: Do You Test Your New Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    That's sort of the test IMO. They imediately get loaded up with data that's verified in some way afterwards. And I usually run a SMART test early on.

    The suggested relationship between these facts and the topic at hand is erroneous as pointed out by numerous sibling posters, I can ignore them for the purpose of this argument.

    every time I point this out about Gore I am then called a bigot (because Obama agrees with Gore and he is black).

    Hahaha no fucking way, either you made this up, or Fox News did and you believed it.

    BTW the whole "climategate" incident is in no way relevant to actual climate science. It's about academic transparency.

  15. Not an FPS, a card game on Game On War In Syria Explores Ongoing Conflict · · Score: 2, Informative

    Replying off-topic but the summary doesn't mention this very relevant bit of information: The game is not an FPS, it's a card strategy game. Like Magic or something.

    Which is disappointing, I was hoping it was an FPS and that some Russians and Iranians could play from the rebels' point of view.

    This is why I fucking hate Al Gore. He practically gave birth to the denialist movement through his dishonesty and hypocrisy.

    I don't apologize for that shitstain. He's an energy-wasting greedhead who doesn't give a rat's ass about the environment.

    I was really hoping that this had finally broken the NRA, and that they were going to disband or at least accept some gun controls. That it wasn't all trolling and that they weren't going to come out guns blazing and crazier than ever.

  24. Re:Great! on Drawings of Weapons Led To New Jersey Student's Arrest · · Score: 1

    When I was a kid in the early '90s we had Lego and some interlocking cubes in the classroom, and one of the rules was that we weren't allowed to make any guns with them. I remember I got reported one time for using the cubes to make a simple L shape. I wish I'd tried making some swords to see what happens.

    And I remember one time I made a working skateboard. Those old-school legos were fuckin' tough!
