  1. Space weapons platform.

  2. Water has been discovered to be Wet, and the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West!

    More on this breaking news later!

  3. Sorry but the whole thing smells badly. I have seen the TSA xray of my ipad pro and you cant hide shit in these devices without setting off the detectors. They could even see I had a SD card inserted.

  4. Depends... on Ask Slashdot: What's The Easiest Linux Distro For A Newbie? · · Score: 1

    Does that newbie want to just be a user or does that newbie want to learn?

    User? Ubuntu hands down or it's variants like Mint.
    to learn to become an expert in linux? Slackware, because you have to learn how to configure everything with minimal di it for you tools.

    Slackware you will have a far FAR better understanding about linux once you get going.

  5. RPG will take that out in a heartbeat. on Terrifying Anti-Riot Vehicle Created To Quash Any Urban Disturbance (boingboing.net) · · Score: 2

    The police wants to escalate to that level, Then the Unrest will also.

    Cops with full battle armor are a danger to society, it means the ones that think they need to defend themselves from the police will up their game to a 308 high power hunting rifle that will rip through Military armor like butter, or start using Armor piercing 5.56/7.62 home made rounds.

    Want to keep a crowd calm, you don't freaking roll in like storm troopers hell bent on extermination.

    In he countries it's built in, RPG's are not hard to come by, hell even a home made IED would take that thing out.

  6. But then the police here think they need Tanks, M16A4 fully automatic weapons, drones, bombers, orbital strike platforms......

    When in reality, 90% of the police can barely handle a small caliber pistol safely, and they are so poorly trained they are not much better than a roaming gang of thugs.

    easy solution, raise the taxes. if your taxes are not high enough to pay for Fire,Police and road maintenance then you should absolutely pay more.
    If your taxes are not being used for that but instead, holiday decorations, more pay for someone to choose to buy more decorations then it's time to start voting for officials more wisely.

    Yes, Yes, I know the irony of an American saying to vote more wisely to another country.... I'm not happy with our Toddler in Chief, but then he is not much different than the ones we have in congress and local government all over here. Recently in my home town we had one of the commissioners demand that a law be passed so that anyone in government can not be criticized or go to jail.

    It seems that we either elect very evil people, or stupid ones that have never read the constitution. From my experience, it's the latter, only the dumb want to be in political office.

    No you cant. Because you are claiming you are a represenative of Sonos and you are not in any way. In fact your speakers dont even come with a warranty unless you are going to give me free replacements for 5 years because Sonos voids all warranties sold by people like you.

    So many sellers that use the name of the company of the product they are selling that are NOT actually that company. Sorry, but SONOS is not selling Sonos speakers under the name "Sonos Speaker Depot" and they need to insta ban those users doing that crap.

    Same reason they want thinner and lighter. Because the general public is really stupid and when you market at them properly they will lap it up.

    I want a phone that is 2X as thick as available today and has a 4 day battery life. Single day battery life today is only because of stupidity. we should be at the 1 week of battery like we had with the Razr flip phone.

    "The voice from the telescreen was still pouring forth its tale of prisoners and terrorisim and slaughter, but the shouting outside had died down a little. The waiters were turning back to their work. One of them approached with the gin bottle. Winston, sitting in a blissful dream, paid no attention as his glass was filled up. He was not running or cheering any longer. He was back in the Ministry of Love, with everything forgiven, his soul white as snow. He was in the public dock, confessing everything, implicating everybody. He was walking down the white-tiled corridor, with the feeling of walking in sunlight, and an armed guard at his back. The long-hoped-for bullet was entering his brain."

    You need a netbook.

    PC's are Not adequate because software today is complete shit, almost none of it is written well for multi threading.

    Again, mostly because programmers coming out of colleges are poorly trained, and then companies want them to bang out trash and not well optimized code that takes advantage of the hardware.
