  1. Re: Yes, but other property is increasing in value on Sea Level Rise Already Causing Billions in Home Value To Disappear (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually, flood insurance is its own problem in America. John Oliver on last week tonight explains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  2. The summery was very surprising to me, I didn't know terrorists and pedophiles were working together.

  3. Re:Why are we fighting the government? on Judge Rules That Inglewood, California Cannot Copyright Public Videos · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You're saying that when the Judicial Branch does its job properly and curtails idiots getting out of hand, you should over throw the government?

  4. Re:4/5 in favor on Finland Considers Minimum Income To Reform Welfare System · · Score: 1

    One thought of gaming would be to claim you live unemployed in Finland for the money but actually live elsewhere and making money. Think any system can be and probably is gamed in some way.

  5. Re:LifeStraw on 'Drinkable Book' Pages Clean Dirty Drinking Water · · Score: 1

    The drinkable book is its own container. And at a glance the biggest difference would be price, Lifestraw is selling for 20$, they say the book will be worth pennies. Could be lifestraw has a cheaper run for the poor areas but overall the biggest stumbling block for these purifier options (And there are quite a few) is their ability to scale. Its trivial getting a filter option for an individual or family, but when you get to city level or provincial they can't keep up or cost gets prohibitive.

  6. Re:A better solution on "Happy Birthday" Hits Sour Notes When It Comes To Song's Free Use · · Score: 1

    The 'Step 1 - something, Step 2 - ?, Step 3 - profit' is a meme from south park. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomes_(South_Park)

  7. Re:Get on topic, cut the ad hominem attacks on Telomere-Lengthening Procedure Turns Clock Back Years In Human Cells · · Score: 1

    I didn't prove you wrong, as I didn't make any comments on hosts, the program directly, or advocate alternatives. Didn't do any down modding, have that turned off for myself as it tends to be more opinionated.
    No, my comment was completely about your character, and as your post shows, It is spot on.

  8. Re:Learn to read... apk on Telomere-Lengthening Procedure Turns Clock Back Years In Human Cells · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't really matter if your Host Engine was magical and did my taxes for me, in addition to all the security claims. The problem is that you, the author of it, come off as crazy. You spam your message across all of slashdot looking for the slightest mentioning of hosts/adblock, you hound anyone that speaks ill of you or the program and post messages in reply trying to pretend to be other people that support your 'message'. And lastly, anyone that you are hounding that starts to ignore you instead of respond you take as if they had finally admitted you were right. All in all, not a good sign.

  9. Re: Actually you're getting more than you pay for. on In-Flight Service Gogo Uses Fake SSL Certificates To Throttle Streaming · · Score: 1

    I was curious what he meant by subsidized as well, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_Deregulation_Act seems to pretty much say government wanted out from anything like that. The only other thing I found was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_Air_Service but was just for small airports not travel in general.

  10. Threat level alpha omega on Syrian Electronic Army Takes Credit For News Site Hacking · · Score: 2

    Syrian Electronic Army has truly shown that they are a force to be reckoned with by inconveniencing a handful of websites.
    I haven't really heard of them, but apparently they are a thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Electronic_Army

  11. Re:Child prodigies on Interviews: Ask Adora Svitak About Education and Women In STEM and Politics · · Score: 2

    She wrote and published a book at the age of 7. What did you do at the age of 7? Eat some crayons?

  12. Re:Every week there's a new explanation of the hia on Cause of Global Warming 'Hiatus' Found Deep In the Atlantic · · Score: 1
  13. Re:well.... on Fotopedia Is Shutting Down; Data Avallable Until August 10 · · Score: 1

    While it wasn't without warrning sort of thing, something related would be when Microsoft shutdown the PlaysForSure music service (http://macdailynews.com/2008/04/23/microsoft_to_shut_down_playsforsure_drm_services_strand_customers/) which had the effect of locking music bought to whatever current allowed pcs and no others due to DRM.

  14. Re:Since when are rights deserved? on Does A Company Deserve the Same Privacy Rights As You? · · Score: 1

    No, not a troll. It was pointing out the absurdity of the general statement that rights are for all or none. Either the original post was, as you seem to be saying, a definition/concept of 'rights' in general then it was a off topic post of its own and served no real purpose. Or, as I had thought when I read it, it was a statement that corporations should be allowed this right as all are allowed this right. Then my post is no more silly (Which I will state it was quite silly) and no less off topic.

  15. Re:Since when are rights deserved? on Does A Company Deserve the Same Privacy Rights As You? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    So, by this logic, dogs can now vote?

    Official paperwork is required to transport an urn filed with ashes.

  18. How sad. on Google To Remove "Inappropriate" Books From Digital Library · · Score: 1

    The only thing worse then burning books is not reading them.

  19. Re:Why are we still discussing this?! on Single Drive Wipe Protects Data · · Score: 1

    About the same strength if not stronger. Though I'm curious what you mean by the hard drive magnets self-destructing with a few of them together. Sounds like something to try and see.

  20. Re:Pointless chrome on Preview the New MythTV User Interface · · Score: 1

    I had a similar problem that my hardware didn't work with MythTV/Linux. So I went with BeyondTV for Windows http://www.snapstream.com/products/beyondtv/, had for awhile now and works great for me. If your still looking for something to do TV on your computer should give it a try, however it costs about 80$ which is a turn off for some.

  21. Re:Is It Hard Being Number One? on Ask Blizzard Employees About Things That Matter · · Score: 1

    Suppose you could argue by going on about it being the largest in North America, but not largest world wide. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maplestory )
