    The End

  2. Are you sure they're for sale? on UK Bookstores Found Selling Banned US Bomb-Making Handbooks (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    Maybe the NCA (UK's FBI) gets an alert to investigate you went you order them.
    The order gets canceled.

  3. Isn't that exactly what it means? on Tesla Tells Germany that 98% of Drivers Don't Find the Term 'Autopilot' Misleading (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    "as he felt the term implied that drivers could operate their vehicles without applying their attention to the roads."
    The only reason I'd want a car with autopilot is so I don't have to apply attention to the roads.
    I've seen videos of people with autopilot and their hands are hovering around the steering wheel and they look nervous.
    If that's how we're expected to use autopilot then that sucks. I wanted to be able to read a book, watch TV, surf the net, or work on my laptap.

  4. Re:so it wasn't so bad after all then? on Dungeons & Dragons Inducted Into Toy Hall of Fame (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    My mom definitely thought D&D was pure evil and I was brainwashed to believe it.
    To this day when I hear someone reference it I have a few milliseconds feeling of taboo.

  5. how about a sterility shot? on Male Birth Control Shot Found Effective (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Vasectomies don't sound that bad but my nether regions cringe just thinking about it. I'd rather have a shot. In the arm!

  9. here in the future we do this differently on MIT Invented A Camera That Can Read Closed Books (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Using this terahertz method, once you get deeper into the book the paper and print from previous pages get in the way.
    Here in the future we do things differently. We collide waves from two different directions that could permeate the paper and print unaffected, such that they intersect at the point of interest, and then emit some new wave with a characteristic dependent on the material in which they intersected (blank paper, air, or ink), which can also permeate the paper and print unaffected, and can be detected externally. I will give details at a later time.

  10. let go.

  11. real programmers don't stop coding on Programmer Automates His Job For 6 Years, Gets Fired, Realizes He Has Forgotten How To Code · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If he had nothing to do and didn't choose to code during work, he obviously doesn't enjoy coding.
    So he's all ready to find a different career.

    Aren't there enough scams out there that target the elderly? Now there are "fighting scams"?
    It's so frustrating I can't even RTFA.

  18. it's not just about academics on Ask Slashdot: Pros and Cons of Homeschooling? · · Score: 1

    Going to a school is where you learn how crazy the world is. You interact with kids that are good, bad, friends, enemies, jocks, dorks, geeks, chicks, tomboys, bitches, bullies, honest, liars, druggies, straight edge, spoiled, poor, genius, idiots, boys, men, girls, women. You have teachers that are caring, could care less, inspiring, dead wood, fair, unfair. You interact with individuals, dozens, and sometimes hundreds of people at a time. Computer labs, machine shops, wood shops, sports equipment, art supplies, and these days even 3D printers. All that interaction in the hallways, homeroom, classrooms, gym, music, art, cafeteria. It's all so overwhelming and scary, but that's all part of it too.
    Trying to pack this into the home version is quite an undertaking.
    My wife and I were scared, well more nervous, about my kids going to school, and thought about homeschooling. I convinced my wife, who would have be the stay-at-home teacher, that it would be too much, and decided I really wanted my kids to go to school. She kept pushing, but I pointed out how hard it was just taking care of the crazy kids and how hard it would be adding in all the above too. Eventually, she gave up on the idea.

  19. codeine is the new literacy? on Why Coding Is Not the New Literacy · · Score: 1

    I'm concerned that illiterate people are going to hear this and end up abusing codeine.

  22. makes me sad on Customers Creating Fake Amazon Pages To Get Cheap Electronics At Walmart · · Score: 1

    to see how much this site has changed. So many commenters sound entitled or fraudsters or thieves.
    Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it or promote it.

    There's money in broken screen repairs and replacement phones, and no lives get lost. Your butterfingers are cash to Apple.

  25. Re:This Juggler's Only Crime on Fugitive Child Sex Abuser Caught By Face-Recognition Technology · · Score: 0

    Yes, but some of us think child abuse is so disturbing that even this word play is not funny.
    I'm sure you wouldn't say that joke to the abused child's parents.
    How about to some random parents?
    Some parents you know?
    Your own parents?
    Your close friends?
    Your spouse?
    Yourself?

    I draw the line at myself, and even still feel wrong thinking it.

    We've got freedom of speech but that doesn't mean you have to say everything that comes to mind. Define a filter for yourself.
