  1. Re:Nihilists? on Former NSA Chief Warns Hackers Will Attack US If Snowden Is Captured · · Score: 1

    Too lazy to have an ethos.

  2. I thought they were both the same. on Black Hole's "Point of No Return" Found · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What is the difference between Event Horizon and Innermost Stable Orbit?

  3. Re:I'm Confused on Egyptians Turn To Tor To Organize Dissent Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    Simple. The Internet treats censorship as damage and routes around it.

  4. Re:ALMOST on Quant AI Picks Stocks Better Than Humans · · Score: 1

    You small furry creature... thanks for the wonderful explanation :-) Keeps reminding me why slashdot is still great.

  5. Lt. Jim Dangle here... on Police Officers Seek Right Not To Be Recorded · · Score: 1

    Please take the cameras off. We are having enough trouble with Deputy Trudy Wiegel as it is.

  9. It wouldn't work... on Law Professors Developing Patent License For FOSS · · Score: 1

    ...against patent trolls.

  10. Re:Evince on Foxit One-Ups Adobe In Blocking PDF Attack Tactics · · Score: 1

    and what about SumatraPDF?

  11. Re:Queue . . . on High Fructose Corn Syrup Causes Bigger Weight Gain In Rats · · Score: 1

    Yes, I agree too. My food budget has gone up by around 70% after starting to buy at whole foods and using organic food. One good thing to do when buying at Whole Foods or any other supermarket store is to look at the labels and see the % of calories of Fat, Cholestrol, Sugar and Sodium. As long as these are Ok, I would say it's healthy food. Also, whole foods doesn't throw away expired food regularly. So better be careful of that, I've seen stuff 3 months after expiry, and even after I complained they re-stocked this expired food.

  12. Re:Creepy on TV Show Seeks Terminally Ill Volunteer for Mummification · · Score: 1

    A nihilist wouldn't think its 'cool' to leave a body to decompose. Lot of people misunderstand nihilism to mean Anarchism or Apathy. I can sum up my nihilism in one sentence: There are no objective morals or ethics.

  13. Discussion system like slashdot. on The Economy of Wikileaks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What wikileaks also needs is a good discussion system for each story/leak. That way the audience also can directly participate.

  14. Re:Obvious answer? on Why Do So Many Terrorists Have Engineering Degrees · · Score: 1

    Atheist nihilist? All nihilists are Atheists. But not the otherway round. So just nihilist would do fine.

  15. Try to sneak in another bomb into the plane.. on Bruce Schneier On Airport Security · · Score: 1

    The chances of there being a bomb is slim but the chances of there being 2 bombs on a plane is very very low. You can always feel more secure when you try to sneak in a bomb into the plane :-)

  16. Re:All those achivements ... on Man "Beats" World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Amen.

  17. Re:Most insightful department ever on Two Senators Call For ACTA Transparency · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Bernie Sanders is one of the few politicians I IMMENSELY RESPECT. Though I am ideologically opposed to Ron Paul, I admire his honesty and straightforwardness as well. If only the rest of the politicians were like these. Wishful thinking on my part.

  18. The Millennium Prize Problems on Tracking the World's Great Unsolved Math Mysteries · · Score: 1

    They can probably add the remaining unsolved millennium prize problems to the list.

  19. Re:It's so very odd..... on Ireland Criminalizes Blasphemy · · Score: 1

    And the logical conclusion for a rational atheist would be Nihilism.

  20. Re:bad rule on Swedish Court Says IP Numbers Privacy Protected · · Score: 1

    I wonder if logging IP addresses from bit-torrent clients on a personal computer would be illegal under this ruling.
    And some people write some damn good bit-torrent clients :-) Thank you for the great program

  21. Software repository... on Sun To Build World's Biggest App Store Around Java · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This could be a software repository for all PC's.

  22. I wish this event was given more exposure... on 100 Hours of Astronomy Webcast Underway · · Score: 1

    Superb event, utilizing the power of streaming internet video to educate the people and inspire many more. I only came across this because of seeing the slashdot article, but I wish I saw this event being advertized/publicized on some news websites or on T.V.

  23. Re:They Aren't Seeing Repeat Offenders on AT&T Won't Terminate User Service For RIAA Without a Court Order · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure about using IP tables, but connecting to encrypted peers only would prevent from your ISP snooping. I'm not sure it would be of much help if the RIAA is seeding them, because they would get to know your IP address. A better "solution" would be to use a VPN service like http://ipredator.se/ where they say that they don't keep any logs.

  24. Just below par on Sheep Herding LED Art · · Score: 1

    of the olympic opening ceremonies, but without the queasiness of it.

  25. Re:Or they're terrified on Study Finds the Pious Fight Death Hardest · · Score: 2, Informative

    While I don't believe in God or purpose in life, I will agree that both the points you made are most probably true.
