  1. Re:The total storage capacity is 620 GB. on The Raid-Proof Hosting Technology Behind 'The Pirate Bay' · · Score: 1

    I was surprised it was so humongous. I think Wikipedia is like a tenth that size and it is based on hosting its own content.

  2. Re:Traffic is up? on The Raid-Proof Hosting Technology Behind 'The Pirate Bay' · · Score: 2

    I would say sort of the opposite. It became the best place when pretty much every single one of its competitors was raided or threatened out of the business. I burned through a few I liked more before TPB was the only left.

  3. Re:Becuse it is small on Why the iPhone 6 Has the Same Base Memory As the iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    Yes, and would increasing it 13 percent really make a difference? I would say at one point, when you have such a small amount it does not really matter if it is doubled it is still too small for your entire data storage needs, so better to use than money somewhere else.

  4. Re:Name on Why a Chinese Company Is the Biggest IPO Ever In the US · · Score: 1

    I keep reading it as Alabama.

  5. Re:why does the CRTC need this list? on Canadian Regulator Threatens To Impose New Netflix Regulation · · Score: 1

    I think the point is that they should provide x% of Canadian movies/tv shows and feature it in such a way that Canadian viewers are likely to watch it.

  6. Re:Study Questions on Science Has a Sexual Assault Problem · · Score: 1

    Have you ever personally experienced ... other jokes, at an anthropological field site?

    Umm. So did the studier notice that they ask the subjects if they have ever experienced jokes at an anthropological field site?

  7. Re:Study Questions on Science Has a Sexual Assault Problem · · Score: 1

    comments about cognitive sex differences.

    So everytime someone says something about women being superior or smarter I am being sexually harassed?

  8. Re:Free Willy! on Scotland Votes No To Independence · · Score: 1, Troll

    OK, so they can vote for which British lord rules over them? Woopty f***en do . Since they are not ruled by a Scottish government they are still enslaved by a foreign power.

  9. Re:Known for a long time on Study: Chimpanzees Have Evolved To Kill Each Other · · Score: 1

    The Cat is bringing you the dead thing to eat. Not his fault if you don't.

  10. Re:If You are Too Incompetent on High School Student Builds Gun That Unlocks With Your Fingerprint · · Score: 1

    Yes.
    Well nothing is fool proof, but the likelihood of losing control of your gun better be pretty insignificant and inconsequential, or you are incompetent.

  11. Re: I never thought I'd say this... on FCC Chairman: Americans Shouldn't Subsidize Internet Service Under 10Mbps · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yes, but then the cost of living in the city is subsidised by cheap food from the country, and from materials like wood, rock, and metal.

  12. Re: I never thought I'd say this... on FCC Chairman: Americans Shouldn't Subsidize Internet Service Under 10Mbps · · Score: 1

    You would still need to subsidise. Businesses are only interested in providing a product when it is profitable, and it simple is not in rural locations to run 50 miles of cable for 3 guys.

  13. How Does this Effect Rural? on FCC Chairman: Americans Shouldn't Subsidize Internet Service Under 10Mbps · · Score: 1

    So how is this going to effect rural Internet?
    We do not get anywhere close to that, so are all of our substitutes going to disappear and half the country go dark?

  14. Re:Easiest solution... on Ask Slashdot: Remote Support For Disconnected, Computer-Illiterate Relatives · · Score: 1

    There should be a service like this!

  15. Your Relatives should not be on the Internet on Ask Slashdot: Remote Support For Disconnected, Computer-Illiterate Relatives · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They ... click on everything they receive, and take delight on sending their information to any Nigerian prince that contacts them, "just in case this one is true".

    Your Relatives should not be on the Internet. Not only will they be scammed out of possibly every cent they have, but they are probably sending spam and viruses to all of us.

  16. Re:Why math? on ISIS Bans Math and Social Studies For Children · · Score: 1

    Particularly strange since most of our current understanding of mathematics was discovered in Allah worshipping countries. Hell they are called Arabic Numerals for a reason.

  17. Re:they will defeat themselves on ISIS Bans Math and Social Studies For Children · · Score: 1

    Well the vast majority of people make no use of physics or math to begin with, but even if we assume that the entire country is to be devoid of theses things, in a global economy like we have, as long as they have resources they can get any arms they want.

  18. Re:trust on Why Is It Taking So Long To Secure Internet Routing? · · Score: 1

    "So from now on I guess the operational phrase is 'Trust no-one.'" "No. Trust Ivanova, trust yourself, anybody else: shoot them."

  19. Re:I, Robot from a programmers perspective on Developing the First Law of Robotics · · Score: 2

    Yes, which is great. Except that it was not just some edge cases, it was not just hard to think of plausible edge cases. It was every single edge case, so much so that, like I said, none of his robots would last 5 minutes in the real world.

  20. I, Robot from a programmers perspective on Developing the First Law of Robotics · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Don't get me started on Asimov's work. He tried to write allot about how robots would function with these laws that he invented, but really just ended up writing about a bunch of horrendously programmed robots who underwent 0 testing and predictably and catastrophically failed at every single edge case. I do not think there is a single robot in any of his stories that would not not self destruct within 5 minutes of entering the real world.

  21. Re:Lucky them on Court Rules the "Google" Trademark Isn't Generic · · Score: 2

    googleing is shorter than "performing a web search". Go google it, is quick than "go perform a web search on that".

  22. Re:Lucky them on Court Rules the "Google" Trademark Isn't Generic · · Score: 5, Informative

    That is how the word is used now, and the summery even states that the ruling takes this into account. They know that googleing is a generic word, but Google is not. A search engine is not called a google, only Google is called Google. This does not change just because googleing is a generic term for performing a internet searching.

  23. Re:First world problems. on Apple Outrages Users By Automatically Installing U2's Album On Their Devices · · Score: 2

    I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

  24. Smart Guns for Stupid People on High School Student Builds Gun That Unlocks With Your Fingerprint · · Score: 1

    Does little Bobby Tables Jr. keep wasting your ammunition? Did your dog shoot itself while rummaging in the closet?
    Then Inteligun is the gun for you!

    - "Intelligun. Smart guns for stupid people."

  25. If You are Too Incompetent on High School Student Builds Gun That Unlocks With Your Fingerprint · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you are too incompetent to control the use of your own gun, then you should not have one. Period. Take the money you were going to spend on this smart gun and take a basic gun safety class.
