  1. Contacting my lawyer now on Ads Based On Browsing History Are Coming To All Firefox Users · · Score: 1

    I'm ready to get rich off the Firefox foundation the second my underage child gets an ad for an adult only site.

  2. Re:Do people really take this risk seriously? on Asteroid Risk Greatly Overestimated By Almost Everyone · · Score: 1

    I don't think there would be a Hollywood blockbuster and funding of related programs if there wasn't at least some social awareness. Ethan Siegel's audience is a little more targeted.

    I find it likely that one of Siegel's friends didn't get funding in favor of a more "cockamamie" program related to asteroid detection (which itself is more likely a cover for a US military radar installation).

  3. Obvious on Ask Slashdot: What Tech Skills Do HS Students Need To Know Now? · · Score: 1

    They need to know how operate a cash register, fry machine, lawn mower, espresso machine and be able to take care of other people's children.

  5. Re:Flying penis on Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin Launches Its First Rocket · · Score: 1

    Actually, as you can see in the picture, the trick is to use a more bulbous head to better pierce and part the atmosphere.

  6. Re:Ze drem vil finali kum tru on Ask Slashdot: What Would a Constructed Language Have To Be To Replace English? · · Score: 1

    This post almost blew my mind as much as the transition from Gaelic to English at the beginning of the 13th Warrior. Your understanding of the differences between English and German is so fantastic that I think the *WHOOSH* sound went above most everybody's head on the joke you set up from the very beginning. You are much appreciated good sir/madam.

  7. Re:80's data on RadioShack Puts Customer Data Up For Sale In Bankruptcy Auction · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean 8" floppies"?

  8. I hate to burst CU'S bubble but this has been done numerous times over a decade ago by researchers at UC Berkeley and other institutions. Search on Google scholar for SiGe.

  9. Funding source? on Data Research Reveals When Taking a Yellow Cab Is Cheaper Than an Uber · · Score: 0

    I wonder who paid this team of scientists to do this study....

  10. Re:Full blooded American here on Snowden Reportedly In Talks To Return To US To Face Trial · · Score: 0

    Somebody ship Snowden a pair of ruby slippers and tell him to put them on, click his heels together three times, and repeat "There's no place like home". Once he's done that he can then finish the outfit and change his name to Chelsea or something else as ridiculous.

  11. Re:OpenGL? on Khronos Group Announces Vulkan To Compete Against DirectX 12 · · Score: 2

    It is aimed at a wider range of device types.

    Thank god. It's about time my ThinkGeek USB hotplate be accelerated with voxel heating.

  12. Seems ironically vulnerable to hacking on Building the Developer's Dream Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I'd totally be able to capture keyboard input on that thing from at least 20 feet away.

  13. XXX rating on Don't Sass Your Uber Driver - He's Rating You Too · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Temperature thresholds are also highly dependent on whether the birds are of European or African descent.

  15. False sense of security on Google Throws Microsoft Under Bus, Then Won't Patch Android Flaw · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm sorry, but are people actually under the impression that their phones are secure?

  16. Awesome on Obama Proposes 2 Years of Free Community College · · Score: 1

    Just what I needed back when I was a kid. 2 more years of high school with the potential that afterwards I'll have a sizeable debt coming out of it if I screw off those years like I did when I was a junior and senior.

  17. Re:FOSS and ham radio need fully open FPGAs on Learn Gate-Array Programming In Python and Software-Defined Radio · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of SiGE and MPW/COT? Who needs FPGA when you can go open source ASIC and produce an initial production run for under $50k, possibly even $10k? There's been some interesting research from places like CalTech and Berkley in to fully designed MIMO's even with integrated antennas in an SOIC that are in many cases nearly a decade old now.

  18. Third law of motion on Space Policy Guru John Logsdon Has Good News and Bad News On NASA Funding · · Score: 1

    Makes sense if you pay attention to the great grandfather of space exploration. As Sir Isaac Newton said, "What goes up must come down".

  19. Title correction on Red Hat Engineer Improves Math Performance of Glibc · · Score: 1, Informative

    Red Hat Computer Scientist Improves Math Performance of Glibc

    There, fixed that for you.

  20. Re:FBI evidence is laughable on US Slaps Sanctions On North Korea After Sony Cyberattack · · Score: 2

    Look, if we had to spell out every bit of "evidence" we have concerning how we KNOW NK was involved, we'd have a thousand denialists like you hyper-analyzing every letter and word screaming NO EVIDENCE when we have clearly outlined that we know NK did it. Dude just trust us, we've got this.

  21. Great framework on US Slaps Sanctions On North Korea After Sony Cyberattack · · Score: 3, Funny

    I really look forward to similar language being used by foreign countries that the US got caught spying and hacking on and the ensuing financial sanctions against the US as well.

  24. More troubling on Congress Passes Bill Allowing Warrantless Forfeiture of Private Communications · · Score: 1

    but the new stamp of approval from Congress was troubling

    What's troubling is that nobody knows, nobody cares, and nobody realizes legislation like this can be changed if enough somebodies cared.

  25. love my surface on Forbes Revisits the Surface Pro 3, Which May Face LG Competition · · Score: 2

    I've had the i7 512 Surface Pro 3 for several months now and I absolutely love it. I was worried about the hinge but it's lapability has no issues IMHO. The only problem I have is it simply doesn't work if I'm lying down in bed.

    It's doubtful the LG will contend. I think the biggest threat is the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro but at close to a pound heavier and inability to detach the keyboard increasing the thickness in tablet mode, I'll stick with my Surface Pro 3 thank you very much.
