    Someone can be standing outside your window listening all night too, but they are not. The difference with XBOX is that they *are* listening, not that they *can* listen.

    What is there to explain? Americans hate the idea of the UID *because* they all have direct experience with having a SSN. The way the SSN is, it is like having a password for very important things, but one that you have to give out to every street vendor to verify you as well. Identity theft nightmare for the owner.

  7. Re: Stupid article on British Spaceplane Skylon Could Revolutionize Space Travel (ieee.org) · · Score: 2

    Drag is a function of velocity. Rockets have to go fast in the atmosphere to build V to keep from wasting fuel fighting gravity. Skylon doesn't have to fight gravity the same way (it uses the atmosphere to fight gravity for it) and therefore doesn't have high drag by needing to punch straight through the atmosphere as fast as possible and where drag is the highest .

    Your thinking is akin to two grave diggers. One uses a shovel to cut the earth and remove dirt (Skylon) making it an easy job to reach 6', while you are trying to suggest that is worse or equivalent to someone trying to dig a grave out of holes from someone pushing a 6' pole into the ground repeatedly.

  9. Re:fighting carbon pollution? on Obama Rejects Keystone XL Pipeline (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "The oil will be used regardless."

    Oil will be used, THAT very expensive and polluting to extract oil will likely not be as long as the oil prices stay below what it costs to develop the tar sands.

    And jobs aren't *that* important. There are MANY things I'd rather not do despite what ever jobs they might create. Like restart slavery, or have government funded turd polishers, etc. There has to be a line drawn somewhere. The Keystone XL pipeline was bad for America (except for the many GOP Congresspeople who were investors in TransCanada) in EVERY way except for the bullshit 'jobs' excuse, which was a weak excuse to begin with.

  10. Re:fighting carbon pollution? on Obama Rejects Keystone XL Pipeline (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    "is obama and his administration fucking retarded? did he flunk basic math and science?"

    *Snickers* Really? After that first line doozy?

    Here's some basic math and science for you, transporting the oil pollutes a negligible amount compared to extracting it. The Keystone XL pipeline was designed to reduce the cost of developing the tar sands. Tar sands are expensive to develop because they are energy intensive and very polluting to extract oil from. By keeping the cost of developing the tar sands high, it raises the barrier for developing them, reducing pollution dramatically by only sourcing oil from easy (and therefore, low polluting) sources.

    Your thinking is akin to building a big bonfire out of a forest you just cut down, then bitching that it pollutes more for someone to wave the smoke away with a hand fan rather than hooking up an electric fan.

    Ridiculous.

    Canada gets a big deal out of the Keystone XL pipeline. The GOP (many of its members being investors tied to the Keystone XL project) make big money. America effectively whores itself out to another country without benefiting much of anything in return for the constant risk of and immediate environmental damage.

  11. Re: Environmentalism has to happen naturally! on Volkswagen Emissions Issues Spread To Gasoline Cars (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    That was one of the most convincing parodies I have seen on Slashdot in a while. Where it fell apart for me was when you suggested the EPA engineer or fund the technologies rather than fund a standard that engineers in the capitalist economy had to achieve. Nobody could be *that* stupid. If you had left it out, you would have made a pretty convincing crank.

    The U.S. is a big target because of high profile leaks exposing the programs, but it is pretty obvious given the level of cyber intelligence Intel shared between major world powers that every developed nation has similar programs.

    The feigned outrage is especially hypocritical with the E.U. since the world leader in mass surveillance, the U.K., is a member. They not only have mass cyber surveillance, but their population willingly submits to mass video surveillance as well.

    You're talking out of your asshole. I work on a large campus, and besides the fact that an EMT can't get through security to get on site or into the closed areas, we have full-time, actual doctors on site.

    The advice is to call the security in an emergency, as they can move people out of restricted access areas, provide first class first response, and move them into places where the ambulances can reach.

  18. Really? on Getting Over Getting Over Uber: Tim O'Reilly Does the Math · · Score: 2

    "Their rates are regulated and set; their pricing is transparent and can be double-checked (just look at the meter, which is itself regularly tested)"

    Oh how naive. The way taxis rip people off is by taking long routes and adding distance/time. That is specifically the scam that Uber avoids by route planning. If she thinks they are trustworthy just because they have a visible meter, she is an idiot.

    I bet she wholeheartedly agrees to see all the recommended specialists every time she goes to the doctor's office, and makes sure to get as many undercarriage coatings as she can from the car dealer because their pricing is transparent too.
