  1. Re:Here's a question: on Interviews: Ask Stephen Wolfram a Question · · Score: 1

    Any kind.

    I'd imagine since it is now his brand, it'd be hard to get away from even if he really wanted to.

  2. Re:Whats really going on... on Verizon About To End Construction of Its Fiber Network · · Score: 1

    Probably correct.

    Asshats....

  3. Re: Not such a big problem on Blue Shield Leaks 18,000 Doctors' Social Security Numbers · · Score: 1

    They also pay an arm and a leg for malpractice insurance, that would become obsolete with a single payer system. I have an uncle that's an OBGYN, and he pays roughly 400k a year in malpractice insurance.

  4. Re:Good news though on Blue Shield Leaks 18,000 Doctors' Social Security Numbers · · Score: 1

    An authenticator in this day and age makes sense to connect to SSNs.

    How trite. A Faux News watcher that hasn't heard how backwards and blatantly untrue this sentiment is.

  6. I for one... on Chinese Company '3D-Prints' 10 Buildings In One Day · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Await the long foretold coming of out robot servants! Who of course then become our overlords, but can't have everything.

  7. Last Line on Zenimax Sues Oculus Over VR Tech · · Score: 1

    The older stories I read talked about it being over John Carmack, and though that was BS.

    If the last line is correct, I think they have every right to sue.

  8. Re:Software doesn't age on Game of Thrones Author George R R Martin Writes with WordStar on DOS · · Score: 1

    Might be why MS is trying to get a subscription model for Windows going. You get your unchanging software, and they get to make money.

    Become bug zapper repairmen. Also, rodent and creeping bug removers.

  11. Re:Skynet? on How the NSA Plans To Infect 'Millions' of Computers With Malware · · Score: 1

    Actually, no. I dissent all the time.

    Do I incite riots? Nope.

  12. Skynet? on How the NSA Plans To Infect 'Millions' of Computers With Malware · · Score: 0

    Is there any way to avoid such a thing short of cutting my net connection?

    Generally I am not too worried about the NSA. I think it is BS what they do as far as invasion of privacy. But I personally have nothing to hide.

    But this has completely changed the small amount of reluctance I had in becoming a "ZOMG da sky iz fallinz!" type.

    Burn these fuckers.

  13. Hate speech, and Libel/Slander on South Park Game Censored On Consoles Outside North America · · Score: -1, Troll

    Anything to incite civil unrest against a group of people(no, the government doesn't count) and lies to discredit people.

    Those should be disallowed.

    Anything else should be free game.

  14. Re:Isn't it obvious? on Ask Slashdot: Anti-Camera Device For Use In a Small Bus? · · Score: 2

    Hmm, I though a tetrahedron was the proper shape.

  15. Re:Your point of view means nothing. on South Carolina Education Committee Removes Evolution From Standards · · Score: 1

    You got that too huh?

    I didn't take any of the religion courses, but they did indeed shoot themselves in the foot many times.

    Too bad I didn't take the hints more to heart sooner. Lost many years of my life to BS.

  16. Re:Protect Our Monopolies! on Utah Bill Would Prevent Regional Fiber Networks From Growing · · Score: 2

    Except that UTOPIA is basically publicly owned. They only build out when they get a contract with a city, and so far the cities more or less own the networks when they are finished.

    Citation: I am a UTOPIA user, and have been an avid follower of their plans for over 10 years.

  17. Re:ignores reality on Will Electric Cars and Solar Power Make Gasoline and Utilities Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    Assuming my townhouse has a roof that is optimal to get full coverage from an optimally angled 100% efficient photovoltaic cell that is 16 square meters in size, on a clear day my solar array would produce on December 21st a bit over 10.6 kWh on average. So 254.4 kW per day on the worst day of the year.

    The Tesla S uses 85 kW/h. I could drive 3 hours a day, assuming no household use and perfect transference/storage.

    Or more realistically, 1 hour a day, and that leaves 269.4 kW for household use. Since the average household in the US of 1500 sq.ft. uses 864 kWh per month, I'd have an excess part way through the third day to "sell" to others.

    So even at 50% efficiency, I'd have plenty of power, assuming clear skies, and the worst day of the year to gather every day.

  22. Re:Letter o' the Law on UK Retailer Mistakenly Sends PS Vitas, Threatens Legal Action To Get Them Back · · Score: 2

    Hmm, looks like to me that section (c) would apply. So, unless the customer said they were being returned, no legal obligation to do so.

  24. Re:Google sure does like to dabble. on Andy Rubin Is Heading a Secret Robotics Project At Google · · Score: 1

    I don't think it is an aside from Google's only real business model: Advertising. You get cars with billboards of cheap text books, or robots that have loudspeakers shouting about the great properties of this new diet pill.
