  1. fire! on Scientists Turn Paper Waste Into Aerogel (inhabitat.com) · · Score: 2

    It seems like it would be difficult to make a mostly paper product flame retardant.

  2. So if I'm reading this correctly, you're saying that Doom is no longer owned by ID4?

  3. I'm happy to see the tide has turned here on /. There was a time, not even 3 months ago, when slashdotters would be running to support these anti free speech SJWs. Kudos to all who've changed their opinion.

  4. Lesson learned on Video Game Cheaters Outed By Logic Bombs · · Score: 2

    "Video Game Cheaters Outed By Logic Bombs"

    That's why I play it smart and never use logic!

  5. So write your Congressman if you support it. on Obama Calls For $4B 'Computer Science For All' Program For K-12 Schools (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    " So write your Congressman if you support it. "

    Also, write your Congressman if you don't support it.

  6. This ad on Amazon's Customer Service Backdoor (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    This advertisement paid for by Google.

  7. Elvin Bishop Settin' on a Bail of Hay on For Data Centers, Google Likes the Southeast (datacenterfrontier.com) · · Score: 1

    "For Data Centers, Google Likes the Southeast"

    That's also just called 'The South'.

  8. Re: This was _outlawed_ in the USA? on Federal Law Now Says Kids Can Walk To School Alone (fastcoexist.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "there's no old law that forbids it,"

    That's the saddest part. There now has to be a law that 'allows' something.

  9. You guys are wrong! on Why Is So Much Reported Science Wrong (berkeley.edu) · · Score: 0

    You guys are wrong. The science is settled. I read that somewhere. Even heard it in Congress once or twice.

  10. Re:Surrounded? on North Carolina Town That Defeated Solar Plan Talks Back (newsobserver.com) · · Score: 1

    Good Lord, Rob, don't be such a bigot. The real reason they don't want another solar farm is that they don't want their property values to drop any more. It's the same reason John Kerry doesn't want a wind farm on the ocean by his house.

    People who consider the South to be nothing but rednecks are no better than people who racistly think all black people are dumb. And just as ignorant.

  11. Our learnings show that users want content that is on Mozilla Ends the Advertisements In Firefox's New Tab Tiles (mozilla.org) · · Score: 1

    "Our learnings show that users want content that is relevant, exciting and engaging."

    I think that means that users want great fun advertisements. I think it's true. My favorites are the ones about pills for diseases I've never heard of before suggesting I ask my doctor for more information. I never have anything fun to talk to my doctor about, and these are great conversation starters.

  12. Let's not mess up the moon on If Climate Change Is a Problem Then Lunar Helium-3 Fueled Fusion Is the Solution (examiner.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You know if we go to the moon, sooner or later we will cause man-made moonal warming and the moon oceans will start to rise and then drown us out. It's true. Michael Mann told me so. It's just not worth it, people.

  13. I hope they find a way to do away with civil asset forfeitures too. That is the worst thing police do in America today. Steal things from citizens to boost their income.

  14. Re:Ending support for IE on Google To Drop Chrome Support For 32-bit Linux · · Score: 1

    I was just messing around :). Sorry it wasn't more clear. I haven't used IE since 2003ish.

  15. Re:Education... on Arkansas Has a Growing Population of "Climate Change Refugees" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just an fyi - Arkansas (as well as most rural areas) get better test scores than our largest cities like NYC, Chicago, and LA. If you can't get into a suburban public school, go for a rural one before you do the city route.

  16. Ending support for IE on Google To Drop Chrome Support For 32-bit Linux · · Score: 1

    This is terrible news! My computer won't run the newest version of Internet Explorer. I hope I can find another browser out there...

  17. Nature's Harvest? on Japanese Company Makes Low-Calorie Noodles Out of Wood · · Score: 1

    I'm not positive of the name, but I want to say Nature's Harvest made a white bread that claimed to have 400% more fiber than 100% wheat bread in the 1980s. The way they were doing it was mixing sawdust in with the bread. In the ingredient list, they called it simply 'cellulose'.

    I tried it and it tasted pretty much like any other loaf of bread. But once it became semi-public knowledge that there was wood in it, they took it off the market.

  18. You are speaking only about the 'legal' term "Freedom of Speech". The real issue is much bigger.and has nothing to do with the government in this instance. Or legal issues. It is simply that people in power of the various forms of media can (and in this instance do) impose their belief or lack of it upon others.

    You'll only realize it's a problem when they block something you yourself believe strongly about. Not sure what to do about it other than going back to monopoly-busting.

  19. Everyone's down on CO2 on World's First "Porous Liquid" Could Be Used For CO2 Sequestration (gizmag.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm beginning to think carbon dioxide is the new 'black'. Everyone is so negative about the wonderful molecule.

  20. Re:Quicker on Anonymous Vows Revenge For ISIS Paris Attacks · · Score: 1

    Maybe you could start by opening your home to a Syrian refugee. People fleeing the "death cult" are precisely the sort of people who could do with your help.

    Seems risky. At least one of the terrorists who blew himself up was a Syrian refugee. Maybe instead we should just leave them all together in their home countries until the good guys in their group beat up the bad guys?

  21. Re:India, Kenya, Paris...where next? on Explosions and Multiple Shootings In Paris, Possible Hostages (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    It's important not to try this too early. You could get caught, sent to prison for 10 years, and THEN the zombie apocalypse happens. And you are stuck without a weapon because you 'jumped the gun' so to speak. So definitely wait until at least two or three zombies appear and try to eat your brain before modifying your gun.

    You'll thank me later.

  22. Re:browser.pocket.enabled = false on Mozilla Has 'No Plans' To Offer Firefox Without Pocket (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks much!

  23. They called me a fool on Quantum Dots Made From Fool's Gold Boost Battery Performance (vanderbilt.edu) · · Score: 1

    They called me a fool when I payed $1,000/oz for iron pyrite (aka fool's gold), but who is laughing hysterically NOW!!!!?

    Hmm. I guess it's still just me...

  24. Self-Encrypting Drives Hardly Any Better Than Soft on Self-Encrypting Drives Hardly Any Better Than Software-Based Encryption (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    "Self-Encrypting Drives Hardly Any Better Than Software-Based Encryption "

    Another way of saying that is, "Self-Encrypting Drives Slightly Better Than Software-Based Encryption"

  25. Agreed. We need to make the whole world a better place to live. When massive amounts of people emigrate from a land, it means that we have failed in doing that.
