  1. Re:Don't cry for me Seattle on In Midst of a Tech Boom, Seattle Tries To Keep Its Soul · · Score: 1

    Just like with people, the fact that your problems aren't as bad as someone else's doesn't mean your problems aren't real ones that need to be addressed. Sure, a tech boom is great and something to be appreciated, but that's no reason to just let it mess up the housing and economy of your city.

    Personally, I am interested in hearing how Seattle handles it.

  2. Re:Uber is paying slashdot. on London Mayor Boris Johnson Condemns Random Uber Pick-Ups · · Score: 1

    I don't know about anyone else, but each time I see an article with such obvious, heavy-handed bias, it makes me favor the other side.

  3. Re:Problem: Humans are dumb on EFF Joins Nameless Coalition and Demands Facebook Kills Its Real Names Policy · · Score: 1

    Facebook requires real names.

    If you want a service that doesn't require real names, why are people trying to use Facebook for that purposes?

    Damn straight. If there's something you don't like about a service you use, you should just slink off and find a different service.

  4. Re:What will be funny... on China Beats US In Early Cuban Internet Infrastructure Investment · · Score: 1

    The problem behind the state of US internet access doesn't exist; there are many problems. Building proper infrastructure for an area the size of the US is still an enormously greater undertaking than doing so for an area the size of Cuba, though. The fact that US cities have lousy access is due to a number of other issues and in no way changes the reality that covering 3,805,927 sq mi is a bigger deal than covering 42,426 sq mi.

    Well, in fairness, Cuba does have slightly less area to cover.

  6. Re:Entrees??? on Scientists Discover How To Get Kids To Eat Their Vegetables · · Score: 1

    It isn't meant to imply multiple burgers make up a single entree. It's just a food that is often referred to in the plural.
    'I like steak.'
    'I like burgers.'

  7. Re:Nothing Surprising Here on Scientists Discover How To Get Kids To Eat Their Vegetables · · Score: 4, Informative

    What is sad is that scientists got paid to "figure" this out. Parents have know this forever.

    There are lots of things that 'everybody knows' that are wrong. Actually studying these things, even though they're 'obvious' lets us weed out the ones that were just bad assumptions and often refine the ones that actually do have some basis in reality.

  8. Re:Let's face it... on Scientists Have Spotted the Signs of Flowing Water On Mars · · Score: 1

    Does this mean Christianity is now falsifiable?

  9. Sentence on Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme Operator Pleads Guilty To $150M Fraud · · Score: 2

    In further news, Trendon Shavers has just received 20 consecutive 41 month prison sentences.

  10. Automation on The First Talking, Artificially Intelligent Surveillance Camera · · Score: 1

    Just think how much money could be saved by installing these at construction sites to make catcalls and lewd comments at passing women!

  11. Delivery on Google To Deliver Groceries · · Score: 1

    Out of carrots? Fire up Google and search for some. They might just show up at your house.

  12. Re:Not falling for it on Google To Deliver Groceries · · Score: 1

    Of course not. But what about this nice, juicy fishoid?

  13. Warnings on TSA Luggage Lock Master Keys Are Compromised · · Score: 2

    To be fair, I don't think we can really blame them for not warning us about the leaks. I mean, this is the TSA we're talking about--they probably still don't know about them.

  14. Re:Any possibility that sunscreen causes cancer? on Miami Installs Free Public Sunscreen Dispensers In Fight Against Cancer · · Score: 1

    Give them time.

  15. Cool on New Russian Laboratory To Study Mammoth Cloning · · Score: 1

    He is.

  17. Re:The market for this on Self-Driving Golf Carts May Pave the Way For Autonomous Cars · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but remember, you're talking about engineers. These are the sort of people who say, "I wonder what happens if I..."

  18. Re:What would be really nice... on Ashley Madison Source Code Shows Evidence They Created Bots To Message Men · · Score: 1

    I'd rather think it was done by members of PETAI, to free the enslaved bots.

  19. Re:The bots are real and will message anything on Ashley Madison Source Code Shows Evidence They Created Bots To Message Men · · Score: 2

    Personally, I'm amazed that smallpenis 1 through 639 were taken.

  20. Framing on More Cities Use DNA To Catch Dog Owners Who Don't Pick Up Waste · · Score: 1

    Sounds like it'd be pretty easy to frame someone whose trash is accessible (or uses a public bin). And it's not like there's much someone could offer in the way of defense.

  21. Circle on You Can Now Be "Buried" On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Well, I guess that's one way to opt out of the circle of life.

  22. Re:Exceeds state authority on California Bill Would Dramatically Limit Commercial Drones · · Score: 1

    But is there an existing federal law that this would conflict with? If not, then according to what you listed, the state law would stand.

    You actually can hug a child with nuclear arms. But only once.
