  1. Re:IBM+1 on AI Pushing the Boundaries of Space Exploration · · Score: 1

    HAL 9000 was not an IBM machine

  2. Re:Back to the actual Science... on Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli's AGW Witch Hunt Continues · · Score: 1

    Can I get a citation on that, I've heard that emails were always a bit whatever, and that the real meat was in the source code, which never gets talked about for whatever reason.

  3. Re:WTF? on Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli's AGW Witch Hunt Continues · · Score: 1

    And the most insightful comment in this thread gets ignored.

    If you call someone a Nazi you get called out on Goodwin's Law, but if you call them a Teabagger ...

  5. So why didn't he patent it? on Why Geim Never Patented Graphene · · Score: 1

    Or did he already own the island?

    If he simply discarded it I would assume that the FBI would just go directly to the device and not talk to the kid.

    Slashdot has the most intelligent comments of any news aggregation site

    Claw grip is better than palming it anyway

  9. Re:Stop using fuel guzzling vehicles on US Military Orders Less Dependence On Fossil Fuel · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the Australian's do use a diesel engine in their M1 tanks because it makes more sense for their supply lines.

  10. Re:So probably 2,000,000,000 hole in economy. on 1,200 NASA Layoffs, Shuttle Fuel Tank Plant Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    Do you want to know what it is "suppose to be" or "is"?

    Oh wow that's harsh

  12. Re:"appear"... "virtually"? on Non-Embryonic Stem Cells Developed From Skin Cells · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah why not, and the best part is they have the same DNA as I do so it would be highly unlikely that my body would reject them.

  13. Re:Victim of Language? on Non-Embryonic Stem Cells Developed From Skin Cells · · Score: 1

    True it does refer to the life cycle of the cells but at the same time there is really only one source for embryonic stem cells, which is human embryos.

  14. Apple Encryption vs BB Encryption on BlackBerry's Encryption Hacked; Backups Now a Risk · · Score: 1

    >Apple devices act differently; the data is encrypted on the device and never leaves it in an unencrypted form. The Apple desktop software (iTunes) acts only as a storage and never encrypts/decrypts backup data.

    The article says that but I was under the impression that the iPhone encryption was worthless because it never lets you access data in an encrypted format. What I mean is there was a race condition where you could have an iPhone plugged into a computer and turned off and when you turn the phone on it would allow you to mount the device before it activated the security and the phone would unencrypt the data as it was accessed. Also if you use a jailbreak attack you can dump the phone in its unencrypted format.

    Was this patched, or is the article wrong?

  15. Re:Abrams A1 Tank on Jaguar's Hybrid Jet-Powered Concept Car · · Score: 1

    Actually the engine can run off of diesel but the USA uses JP-8 (Jet fuel)to simplify logistics, however the Australians use diesel because of their logistical needs. Apparently it is also quieter than a diesel of the same output.

    Agreed clicked the link immediately after seeing the title then read the summary or started to read it.
