  1. Re:Watches on Pebble Time Smartwatch Receives Overwhelming Support On Kickstarter · · Score: 1

    Once again, the simple answer is the right one.

  2. Re:Nothing important. on What Happens When Betelgeuse Explodes? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now you left me wondering about what's could possibly be the civilization's next paycheck.

  3. Re:"Rights Holders"? on Pandora Pays Artists $0.001 Per Stream, Thinks This Is "Very Fair" · · Score: 2

    So, does the money actually go to the artists, or just to the publishing companies?

    And with "artists" who do you mean? Those who compose and edit the songs? Or the ones who play it on instruments or using their voice.

  4. Re:100% reneweble? on Apple To Invest $2B Building Green Data Centers In Ireland and Denmark · · Score: 1

    So, from a concept expressed by: one number, the "%" sign, and one word, you managed to not understand the one word and make a stupid comment base on that lack of understanding?

    Congratulations on using the "anonymous coward" feature properly.

  5. Temporary on What If We Lost the Sky? · · Score: 1

    That solution is too permanent.

    1 - Send a 3D printer to the L1 Lagrangian point and feed it mass to build a large translucid shield that can be turned on and off (transparent opaque).
    2 - Threaten other countries with permanent night unless they pay the "Sun tax".

  6. Other green fuel sources. on Apple To Invest $2B Building Green Data Centers In Ireland and Denmark · · Score: 3, Funny

    which will use wind power and other green fuel sources

    Green fuel sources like, for example, soylent green.

  7. Re:Drone Harvesting... on NoFlyZone.org Aims To Keep the Airspace Above Your Home Drone-Free · · Score: 1

    Paintballs are visible. Airsoft shots can't be traced to the source.

  8. Re:Drone Harvesting... on NoFlyZone.org Aims To Keep the Airspace Above Your Home Drone-Free · · Score: 1

    Has anyone come up with a way of attracting drones and then downing and taking possession of them?

    Airsoft sniper rifles seem to be the chosen tool for drone stealing on a nearby park. I've always wondered how much do they break the drones. Maybe they only sell the cameras.

  9. Re:But the price... on Study: Smartphones Just As Good As Fitness Trackers For Counting Steps · · Score: 4, Funny

    As always, the best part of Slashdot isn't the news but the insight by the experts in each topic.

    Thank you for your feedback.

  10. Re:IXV ? on ESA's Experimental Wingless Space Plane IXV Ready For a Test Flight · · Score: 1

    No, 115.

  11. Re:So they are back to steady state? on Quantum Equation Suggests Universe Had No Beginning · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Do you take decisions based on what random children would think about them? Can you imagine yourself having thoughts on the line of "Should I buy a new home? Oh, maybe I shouldn't. My neighbor's six year old kid thinks this one is the bestest."

    If you don't, why do you think scientist care about whether the first chapter of a book speaks about the Big Bang?

    Just as you don't take decisions based on winnie the pooh, smarter people than you, don't take theirs based on your fantasies and belief system.

  12. Re:Not eliminating all "gunpowder" on The US Navy Wants More Railguns and Lasers, Less Gunpowder · · Score: 1

    Unless the projectile store all its energy in form of momentum instead of explosive.

    To do that, you just need to shoot your projectile at ridiculous speeds.

  13. Re:Lasers are easy to stop on The US Navy Wants More Railguns and Lasers, Less Gunpowder · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For steel walls 5km away you've got railguns.

    The laser is for 1/2" of aluminum flying at mach 3 in your general direction..

  14. Re: Uber is the problem! Let's ban it! on Uber Will Add Panic Button and Location/Journey Sharing In India · · Score: 2

    Don't be ridiculous.

    There are two possible solutions:
      - Censor any news regarding Uber rapes.
      - Ban India.

  15. Re:a wasted effort. on The Algorithm That 'Sees' Beauty In Photographic Portraits · · Score: 1

    We should be teaching machines to help us, not emulate our flaws and biases.

    What forces us to choose?

    We should be teaching machines everything we can. They might be our only way to conquer the universe.

    We should explore all routes, every corner, everything. The only useless knowledge is the perishable one, like how many atoms are in this precise sea wave. Everything else, we shall know.

  16. Re:conscientious beliefs... let's break that down. on Mississippi - the Nation's Leader In Vaccination Rates · · Score: 1

    Constipation - Antipack
    Conquest - Antihunt

    Yep. It works.

  17. Why do we want semi transparent smart devices?

    Because they are newer than opaque smart devices.

  18. Re:Hot, dry climates such as deserts, on The "Cool Brick" Can Cool Off an Entire Room Using Nothing But Water · · Score: 2

    Obviously the solution is to cover the house with a large cupola, with solar powered freezing, that would condensate the evaporated water and recover it in a container so it can be reused by the 3d printed walls.

  19. Re:its not about the ring, its just a lesson. on Texas Boy Suspended For "Threatening" Classmate With the One Ring · · Score: 4, Funny

    the school is teaching the kid that threats have consequences.

    What's the consequence of threatening boys with suspension for imaginary witchcraft?

  20. Re:This is Texas! on Texas Boy Suspended For "Threatening" Classmate With the One Ring · · Score: 5, Funny

    "And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger." - Chronicles 33:6

    I don't understand why they let the boy go. He should have been executed for wizardry.

    Or whatever means of punishment they use in Texas.

    Oh, wait. It IS execution. Now it makes even less sense.

  21. Re:*cough* bullshit *cough* on The "Cool Brick" Can Cool Off an Entire Room Using Nothing But Water · · Score: 4, Funny

    You seem to have a sore throat. You should consider buying a 'health brick'. 3d printed with a specially engineered ceramic lattice, 'health brick' uses basic concepts of medicine, it holds water like a sponge, takes in contaminated air and converts it into healthy air.

  22. Re:MSFT ON BSD! on Microsoft Launches Outlook For Android and iOS · · Score: 2

    Calling Android "Linux" is absurd.

    ... Because Android has no sentience and won't understand why you're calling it names?

    I can't find another way to make sense of your comment.

  23. Re:What? on Canada Upholds Net Neutrality Rules In Wireless TV Case · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's the Time Machine Quantum Experiment!

    They were playing with forces no human being should meddle with!

    Reality is unravelling!

  24. How is this news? on The Quantum Experiment That Simulates a Time Machine · · Score: 5, Funny

    This isn't news. They already did the same experiment in January 2015.

  25. Re:Science, not a product on Deep-Frying Graphene Microspheres For Energy Storage · · Score: 1

    Has been the same for, what, 11 years now?

    [...]

    At the moment, I have more products dependent on quantum interactions and radiation

    And, as we all know, quantum physics were developed way later than... 2004.
