  1. Re:Women in the drivers seat`? on Online Creeps Inspire a Dating App That Hides Women's Pictures · · Score: 1

    She liked my ''take it or leave it' attitude

    Congrats on puling that off when you basically had no other options!

  2. Re:Minimum specs mean nothing on Lost Opportunity? Windows 10 Has the Same Minimum PC Requirements As Vista · · Score: 1

    That CAN operate on a minimal amount of resources. It is also important that Windows can and does ramp up resource use when it is available to increase response time.

  3. Of course nobody wants to see that happen? on Could Maroney Be Prosecuted For Her Own Hacked Pictures? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Really?

    Because it seems to me that if I can be put on a sex offender registry and/or jailed for up to the rest of my life (possibly really short and painful life) simply for owning a phone or email address to which a picture was sent, or god forbid browsing a porn site and they happen to be in the gallery, then the creation and distribution of said photo better be illegal. It better be very very illegal.

  4. Re:Story title needs a warning! on Could Maroney Be Prosecuted For Her Own Hacked Pictures? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I didn't realize she was under-age when I saw the headline. A few tissues later, and I'd unwittingly accessed what counts as child porn.

    Serious, Slashdot editors, this title needs a fix to include a warning, like instantly.

    Fixed that for you.

  5. In Theory? on Could Maroney Be Prosecuted For Her Own Hacked Pictures? · · Score: 2

    There is no theory, no question, there is precedent. Yes, absolutely she broke a law and unless given special treatment because celebrity, based on precedent, she would be treated and jailed as a paedophile and producer of child pornography.

  6. Why does everyone use Digital? on Back To Faxes: Doctors Can't Exchange Digital Medical Records · · Score: 1

    Does the law actually differentiate between how the electronic records are stored? If the system used ternary numbers doctors would be in the clear?

  7. Fax on Back To Faxes: Doctors Can't Exchange Digital Medical Records · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure FAX is still digital. Regardless of if it automatically prints the digital record or not, is likely not in the law.

  8. Public Access on The $1,200 DIY Gunsmithing Machine · · Score: 1

    Too expensive. What we need is for someone to setup a network of DIY workshops that you can just go in, maybe pay a nominal fee, and use stuff like this.

  9. That's no Moon on Earth Gets Another Quasi-Moon · · Score: 2

    Obligatory quote.

  10. Re:FP? on David Cameron Says Brits Should Be Taught Imperial Measures · · Score: 1

    In the real world you do not go around converting everything. You do not convert a yard to a mile, you just buy x yards of fabric (insrtead of x.xxx meters) and convert it into a shirt

  11. Human Nature on Are the World's Religions Ready For ET? · · Score: 1

    Religion will not cause any significant changes. There is not a religion that exists that is not used to constantly shifting their narratives to fit current events. Sure some of them will predict that they exists, and others will state, no their is no possibility any other life exists, and others will have no opinion. And when and if they are found their will be huge intense philosophical debate on if they have souls, but none of it will dictate on how we interact. Human Nature on the other hand will dictate that will fear and hate them, and either enslave, hunt/harvest, or eradicate them; Or at least try to do one of these three things.

  12. Re:Science_afficionado doesn't understand science on Are the World's Religions Ready For ET? · · Score: 1

    We cannot even tell if there is life on Mars or Titan. We haven't even the faintest clue beyond that we think that it is possible, if not necessarily plausible.

  13. Just Wait ... on The Executive Order That Redefines Data Collection · · Score: 1

    ... For the Executive order redefining PI as 3.2.

  14. Re:Some content should be avoided... on Grooveshark Found Guilty of Massive Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    Does precedent not actually effect charges that happened before them, even when brought to court after the precedent is set?

  15. Re:Agreed. on New Research Casts Doubt On the "10,000 Hour Rule" of Expertise · · Score: 2
  16. Re:911 on Miss a Payment? Your Car Stops Running · · Score: 2

    Police and taxis don't come for people without any money.

  17. Re:They are doing it wrong ... on Where Whistleblowers End Up Working · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Except the government is still going out figure out who it was. You just get to decide if you are the random unknown civilian who has a car crash during his morning commute or the famous whistle-blower barricaded in an embassy.

  18. So basicaly on Irish Girls Win Google Science Fair With Astonishing Crop Yield Breakthrough · · Score: 3, Funny

    It is just doing one tiny part of what soil fungus would be doing naturally if they did not spray fungicide?

  19. Don't put tablets in your pockets. on Users Report Warping of Apple's iPhone 6 Plus · · Score: 1

    Obviously do not put thin sensitive material in your pockets. It would not matter if was made of solid steel, something that thin and high is going to be quite easy to bend.

  20. Re: Read Slashdot on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Job After Completing Computer Science Ph.D? · · Score: 1

    look deeply into what doors that expertise opens

    It is a PhD in CS. Like others have already said, no doors are opened by useless esoteric skills. Perhaps he could tutor children, or make minimum wage with some tmp part time lecturing gig.

  21. McDonalds on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Job After Completing Computer Science Ph.D? · · Score: 1

    Have you tried any of the local Mcdonalds?

  22. Re:Not a chance in hell on Service Promises To Leak Your Documents If the Government Murders You · · Score: 1

    Probably not with state secrets.

  23. Science is not the pursuit of Truth. on How Our Botched Understanding of "Science" Ruins Everything · · Score: 1

    It is a method that may be used in a pursuit of a truth. In fact that is just a quote taken from every religion on the planet.

  24. Re:Only 5 years of retirement on Bioethicist At National Institutes of Health: "Why I Hope To Die At 75" · · Score: 1

    No one said it has to, just in the world of averages 95% of the time retiring means starting to die. Many people, do not even make it past the first year. I believe a lot of the statistics point to 18 months life expectancy, in a lot of cases.

  25. Re:Only 5 years of retirement on Bioethicist At National Institutes of Health: "Why I Hope To Die At 75" · · Score: 1

    Most people get a lot less.
    This guy is being pretty optimistic that not only will he even last to 75, but that he will be mostly functional at that point.
