  1. Oh on Kenyans Will Soon Be Able To Send Bitcoin By Phone · · Score: 1

    Is that why bitcoins are up 20%? Some day I'll jump through all the hoops to pick some up... some day....

  2. Re:Moderate destruction at best. on Boston Marathon Bomber Charged With Using 'Weapon of Mass Destruction' · · Score: 1

    I guess what I'm saying is that we need a series of phrases in our lexicon to describe levels of kill above 4. To that end, I have set up the following table:
    1 = single murder
    2 = double murder
    3-7 = crowd murder
    8-15 scrum murder
    16-40 bus sized murder
    and so on.

    I'd continue, but I'm not sure where throng should start.

  3. Moderate destruction at best. on Boston Marathon Bomber Charged With Using 'Weapon of Mass Destruction' · · Score: 1

    Destruction is a pretty heavy term. Mass destruction should be set aside for around the tens of thousands dead / hundreds of thousands injured level, or hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in damage level.

    This is what I would call moderate destruction, if only to account for injuries. The monetary damages do not warrant even a moderate rating. (Ignoring the insane medical bills due to our shitty healthcare system[Getting one leg amputated probably costs you the other one.])

    but I guess we call it mass murder at the 4 person mark in the US... so whatever. I guess by that standard it did cause destruction en masse.

  4. Boo Nvidia on Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Review Roundup · · Score: 1

    There's too much Nvidia love in this thread.

    Just installed a 7850; it rules, and for 180 bucks I got it and 3 games. The fan casing was a quarter inch too long for my case before I took tin snips to it.

    I'll keep buying AMD if only to promote competition in my favorite market.

  5. Be Honest on Ask Slashdot: Rectifying Nerd Arrogance? · · Score: 1

    If you haven't yet figured out that you know absolutely nothing, you really haven't learned very much at all.

  6. Well BMO, if we did all that, then we should still feel bad for cutting into it.

    Pain, love, virtue... all brain chemistry.

  7. Enforcement on ISP 'Six Strikes' Plan Delayed · · Score: 2

    When every user on using your service has 5 strikes in a week... enforcement of this will drop off really fast.

    I will certainly be wardrivetorrenting when this drops.

  8. In One. on Chatbot Eugene Wins Biggest Turing Test Ever · · Score: 1

    Q: Sup?
    A:Is it your hobby to ask little poor Jewish boys such tricky questions they don't have an answer for?


    Obvious robot is obvious.

  9. Robots are too stupid on Eben Moglen: Time To Apply Asimov's First Law of Robotics To Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Robots only do what you program them specifically to do, and poorly at that.

    We are orders of complexity away from having our robots understand what a human is while also touching our data while also interacting with us on a direct level.

    Side note: A patent troll would have to be pretty pro to get all this under 1 roof.

  10. Spark on Supreme Court Rules Julian Assange May Be Extradited · · Score: 1

    Julian Assange thrown into gitmo might be just the spark we need. It'd be a huge uproar.

    'D suck for him tho.

  11. Flowbots on Microbots Made of Bubbles Are Controlled By Lasers · · Score: 1

    I think I have an album for their youtube demo.

  12. Troll Right Back on Heartland Institute Learning To Troll On Billboards · · Score: 1

    Don't look up actual studies on global warming produced by any reputable organization on the planet.

    Go about your business and pretend it isn't happening.

    Sheep.

  13. Fines? on Feds Seized Website For a Year Without Piracy Proof · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why are they no fines for fraudulent "claims of copyright infringement?" Heavy fines for repeat offenders.

  14. I do not have autism... on CDC Reports 1 In 88 Children Now Affected With Autism In the US · · Score: 2, Funny

    But when doing math, I do sit on the floor, rocking back and forth, whilst mumbling to myself.

  15. Again on Verizon Says Hactivists Now Biggest Corporate Net Threat · · Score: 1

    Big public leaks are the only way to show off the gaping security holes corporations leave. These holes are already being exploited by people other than "hacktivists", believe you me.

  16. WTactualF? on New Study Concludes Math Gender Gap Is Cultural, Not Biological · · Score: 1

    Do we really need a new study for this? Do people really think the null hypothesis is that there is a biological difference between male and females when it comes to learning math?

    I was having a good day. I'm a little depressed now.

    Next study: white people not actually better than black people.

    *No Trollo*

  17. Can someone explain... on How Much Tech Can Kids Take? · · Score: 1

    ... how fiddling with tech can induce a chemical imbalance, producing disorders such as ADHD or autism?

    I posit that this notion is flimflam.

  18. Re:Haught isn't in favor of creationism on Censored Religious Debate Video Released After Public Outrage · · Score: 1

    The false dichotomy here is that since the laws of the universe are, they must have a purpose and a creator. There are other options to consider.

  19. Re:can we please stop the steve jobs postings? on Steve Jobs' Missing License Plate · · Score: 1

    I never knew he was that kind of ass. I thought people just called him that because he charged crazy prices for shiny baubles.
    I found this article informational.

  20. Tricorder on Nanomaterial May Allow Devices to Rewire Themselves · · Score: 1

    Totally turn my phone into a tricorder. I will determine the composition of everything.

  21. 1 stipulation... on What Happens When the Average Lifespan is 150 Years? · · Score: 1

    You are allowed to live forever, but no kids. It's an elf thing.

    I'd do it, but I won't be having kids anyway.

  22. - In beta on Ask Slashdot: What To Do In SW:TOR For Just 3 Days? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Um. Play 1 class as far as they will let you.

    Report bugs in a coherent manner.

    Have fun and tell your friends if you like it.

  23. Bout right... on Tevatron Has Come To the End of Its Run · · Score: 1

    One can only run the same experiment so many times before the results no longer pay for the operating costs... and all the scientists get bored.

  24. Re:Subsidizing Healthcare on Healthcare Law Appealed To Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    Their emergency room visits wouldn't cost tens of thousands of dollars if insurance didn't jack up the prices of the procedures involved. Then they could pay for it out of pocket reasonably.

  25. Subsidizing Healthcare on Healthcare Law Appealed To Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    Just what we need to drive up costs a bit more.
    (Current Most Relevant Search Engine) is my Family Physician, Specialist Omnibus, and triples a plumber.
    Dental is where things get tricky.
