  1. Neither affordable nor sustainable.. on Former NASA Chief On US Space Policy: "No Vision, No Plan, No Budget" (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's kinda like a war, isn't it? Oh wait.. that is affordable and sustainable. /sarcarsm

  2. Safe.. on New Nanoparticle Sunblock Is Stronger and Safer, Scientists Say · · Score: 1

    As was DDT.. I love when they just make a new material and say it is safe. We'll see.. we'll see.

  3. Dorothy... on Uber Forced Out of Kansas · · Score: 1

    We are not in Kansas anymore.

  4. 4K on Sharp Announces 4K Smartphone Display · · Score: 2

    Everytime they mention 4K and i see 3840 it makes me itch... some clever folks at the display producing companies are just like the ones in the HDD business making up the term gibibyte. (and yes, I know 3840 is 2x1920, but still..)

  5. "It can also recognize faces and remain unlocked when it sees a trusted face." I would choose that 2 seconds entering my pass over facial recognition anytime.

  6. Amount on Evolution Market's Admins Are Gone, Along With $12M In Bitcoin · · Score: 2

    How do we know how many bitcoins are lost exactly?

  7. Hmm.. so? on MH370 Beacon Battery May Have Been Expired · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Did it turn into a groud-to-air missile and blew the whole plane into bits and pieces?

  8. Understandable on NVidia Puts the Kibosh On Overclocking of GTX 900M Series · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Those notebooks were not meant to produce that performance, it may be capable, but: - NVidia does not want to deal with fried GPUs, to decide/prove if it was because of the overclocking or some manufacturing problems - Suffer the negative PR on the market if too many of their systems seem to die ahead of time or suffer from heat/related issues.. Apart from some rare exceptions notebooks were never meant to be in the same performance category as desktop configurations, this should be taken into consideration this when buying one.

  9. Re:WTF, Slashdot on Young Cubans Set Up Mini-Internet · · Score: 1

    AP Headline: "Cuban youth build secret computer network despite Wi-Fi ban "

    More accurate? It has been said they do not wish to keep it secret...

  10. Re:Bought merely for single player... on Elite: Dangerous Dumps Offline Single-Player · · Score: 1

    I see your point and will most probably play the game either way but I would prefer simply having it "offline" by default than hoping for the best.

  11. Bought merely for single player... on Elite: Dangerous Dumps Offline Single-Player · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I do not want to synchronize anything with any server which might or might not make it for some years until it is shut down. This is DRM nothing more. I bought this game to play on my own not bothered by any other player... Kickstarter should be able to penalize companies which are not willing to fulfill their promises.

  12. Trying hard... on Pope Francis Declares Evolution and Big Bang Theory Are Right · · Score: 1

    ..to salvage anything they can. Science has been going forward in the last few thousand years, while chatolics (and basicly all religions) stood still. Magic is fading, so they have to make small tweaks to look at least a bit credible.

  13. Someone get my old /. back.. on US Strikes ISIL Targets In Syria · · Score: -1, Redundant

    This one is malfunctioning.

  14. I wish I had a dalek to send there on ISIS Bans Math and Social Studies For Children · · Score: 1

    Exterminate..

  15. Would some please... on New US Airstrikes In Iraq Intended to Protect Important Dam · · Score: 1

    ...change the motto of Slashdot? It is so annoying to read "news for nerds" all the time while I am browsing through my beloved war/politics related articles.. /sarcasm

  16. UK vetoing EU stuff? on UK May Kill the EU's Net Neutrality Law · · Score: 1

    I thought they are the ones contemplating on leaving the EU... or is it just "let's mess things up before we shut the door"?

  17. Re:let me predict how this will go: on UN to Debate Use of Fully Autonomous Weapons, New Report Released · · Score: 1

    Homing missiles are fired by a person. We are talking about machines here which can have only a vague order like "protect this facility" or "advance to this point" and during the execution of these commands they can identify encountered people as hostile based on some criterias and can "decide" to eliminate them. That does not even come close to a homing missile.

  18. Re:Two years? on Skydiver's Helmet Cam Captures a Falling Meteor · · Score: 1

    He said he even felt something strange during the flight and checked the video after touching the ground.

  19. Two years? on Skydiver's Helmet Cam Captures a Falling Meteor · · Score: 1

    How come it made into the news now but not at that time?

  20. Google plus on Bennett Haselton: Google+ To Gmail Controversy Missing the Point · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Just make it stop. I go to G-Mail to send mails, I go to Youtube to watch videos. If I wanted to socialize, I would have gone to Twitter/SnapChat/Facebook/MySpace (is there still such a thing?)/SecondLife... Google was famous for it's tools being simple, powerful and not forcing anything on the user. Good old days, eh?

  21. Great Scott! on Google's Wind, Solar Power Investments Top $1B · · Score: 1

    I was told 1.21GW was enough.

  22. Superman is getting lazy on Drone Comes Within 200 Feet of Airliner Over New York · · Score: 1

    It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's a drone.

  23. Shopping channels on Spoiler Alert: Your TV Will Be Hacked · · Score: 1

    As long as the h4ckZ0rs only switch my channel from NatGeo to CNN I do not really care much, but I bet they will be after things like credentials of people buying stuff on shopping channels.

  24. Forget the names please on Amiga Returns With Lackluster Linux-Powered Mini PC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Back in the old days Amiga, C=64, ZX81, etc. names meant something.. just let them die peacefully, do not tread on their graves by naming a plain today's PC as one of those.

  25. Obvious question... on Scientists Build Graphene From Scratch, Atom By Atom · · Score: 1

    When can I buy myself a replicator?
