    Thanks, dude. You must be great fun at parties.

    Or a phablet.

  3. What I don't get is on Nissan Plans To Sell Self-Driving Cars By 2020 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why wouldn't Uber buy their fleet of cars from Nissan, instead of from Google?

  4. Re:So if I forget my phone... on PTSD-Monitoring App Captured the Psychological Effects of the Boston Bombing · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Christ almighty, I know we like to not RTFA and gripe about the govt and everything, but this was used in a study with willing participants. No one is using this to track you. Chill the fuck out.

  5. This is so great on UW Researchers Demonstrate First Direct Communication Between Human Brains · · Score: 0

    This isn't creepy at all, and I see no way this will be abused. I can't wait!

    Well at least now you know how to bring back Yahoo! Sports once you close the tab. Now THAT's some good reporting!

  7. Re:No different than Bush on US Forces Ready To Strike Syria If Ordered · · Score: 2

    So, to be clear, you're fine with Syria killing its own citizens with chemical weapons?

  8. Re:Two peas in a pod on Gore's Staff Says He Was Misquoted On Hexametric Hurricanes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There is no top end to a Cat 5 hurricane classification, so no need for a higher rating.

    This first part of that statement is factually true; the second part is your opinion. If hurricanes start becoming 4x as powerful, the category 5 is still applicable, but less useful. What Gore said was correct: there are scientists considering adding a category 6 to differentiate amongst the strongest of hurricanes.

  9. Re:I hear some echos from the recent past ... on US Forces Ready To Strike Syria If Ordered · · Score: 1

    No, Iraq never had those.

  10. Cool on Feature Phone Hack Can Block Calls, Texts On Some Networks · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are you listening slashdot editors? No more articles on this multi-billion dollar technology corporation since this one guy isn't interested!

  15. Re:What is the point? on How Engineers and Scientists Cluster In the U.S. · · Score: 1

    The is the worst slow-news-day posting I've ever seen here.

    Stick around a few more days; you'll see worse.

  16. Re: Why worry about Category 5 or 6? on For Overstated Claims, Gore, Tesla Upbraided By NWS, NHTSA Respectively · · Score: 1

    Right, a mahor northern US city being 9 feet underwater from a freak hurricane/snow storm wasn't newsworthy enough to be more than spotty, and your memory is perfect. That must be what happened.

  17. Re:Why worry about Category 5 or 6? on For Overstated Claims, Gore, Tesla Upbraided By NWS, NHTSA Respectively · · Score: 1

    Yeah, if your ankles are 9 feet off the ground. Not only were buildings washed away, in north Jersey, entire towns were swept out to sea. In Brooklyn, a neighborhood was mostly underwater and on fire. There were boats in people's driveways where their cars were before. It cost billions in damage. This was a helluva lot more than an inconvenience to those who lived there. Maybe it was in inconvenience to you.

  18. Re:I completely agree. on Concern Mounts Over Self-Driving Cars Taking Away Freedom · · Score: 1

    So everyone did the right thing. Why did it take 2 years to get the ruling released?

  22. Re:Good on Bradley Manning Sentenced To 35 Years · · Score: 1

    What I learned is that you have to watch out for the insider threat. After all, it was Darth Vader that killed the Emporer, not Luke.

  23. Re:Good on Bradley Manning Sentenced To 35 Years · · Score: 1

    That's true. I think his weakness was his over confidence. In any case, the Bothans still died.

  24. Re:Good on Bradley Manning Sentenced To 35 Years · · Score: 4, Funny

    I agree. And I'm glad many Bothans died to get the plans for the Death Star into the hands of the rebels. Those traitors to the Empire deserve it!
