  1. Best Infotainment on The Rise of Linux In In-Vehicle Infotainment · · Score: 0

    While I drive or walk I like to play a little game that's called 'avoid injury by stupid people driving and using their phones', the game get more difficult by the day and in the last upgrade it includes hazard from bus and taxi drivers!

  2. Re:Finally! on Bill Gates Is Beginning To Dream the Thorium Dream · · Score: -1

    Indeed, this was a limitation of the original PC, but Gates claimed in an interview that it should be enough to everybody.

  3. Re:Distributed Flight Array? Really? on Self-Assembling Multi-Copter Demonstrates Networked Flight Control · · Score: -1

    Why not pesticides, or irrigation or anything remotely constructive?

  4. Thankfully not all movies are made like this on The Book That Is Making All Movies the Same · · Score: -1

    I just watched Upstream Color from Shane Carruth, just like the other movie I had watched of him (primer) it doesn't follow the strict narrative structure hollywood seems to have enclosed itself, and they are harder to understand because of that. Still unlike other indie movies they actually make sense in the end.

  5. Re:Obviously caused by Ethiopian cultural attitude on 787 Dreamliner On Fire Again · · Score: -1

    Not only this, Ethiopia is the cradle of our species and also our agriculture.

  6. Re:Mammonis all over again. on Why Are Japanese Men Refusing To Leave Their Rooms? · · Score: -1

    There are wildcats the size of a house cat, in fact they are the same species and can cross breed, furthermore they are a least concern species because they are very successful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcat

  7. Re:Stupid definition on How Old Is the Average Country? · · Score: -1

    Wow! you deserve more modpoints, you not just not go into a pedantic war of setting the "actual" date of something politically and emotionally loaded, but go even further and propose a more sensible way of looking at history.

  9. This is surprising on Employers Switching From Payroll Checks To Prepaid Cards With Fees · · Score: -1

    I'm Mexican, In my last job my employer (big consultancy firm) gave a normal debit card with no minimum balance and they took care of everything, after no longer using it for 6 months the bank sent me and email saying they were very sorry but they had to cancel my account because it didn't show any movement (or balance) for half a year, none of this had any cost for me. My current employer (University) pays me through direct deposit, I use a basic debit account that pays very little interest and requires no minimum balance (all banks are required by law to have such a product), I had to setup the card for my self but it was very straight forward and easy. I'm amazed that in the U.S. employers use this kind of gimmick to save money. Of course Payroll processing and paying generates overhead costs (and banks never do anything for free) but I believe it is always taken for granted that the employers are responsible for those, reading what commentators from Europe say apparently this is also a common expectation overseas, specially when developing economies also behave this way.

  10. Good on Apple Files Trademark For "iWatch" In Japan · · Score: -1

    Mechanical watches will be even more classy when little watch computers clutter the market.

  11. Re:The power of love on Industrious Dad Finds the Genetic Culprit To His Daughters Mysterious Disease · · Score: -1

    Maybe he has tons of money also because he is industrious.

  12. Re:Not really HTML5 on Netflix Ditches Silverlight With HTML5 Support In IE11 · · Score: -1

    BBC has some really good shows.

  13. Re:Who gives a fuck? on Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Review Roundup · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Idiots have been, are and will always be a bigger issue to economy and social order than homosexuals. Turing was gay and without his work computer industry might not exists at all. I know you are a just a troll but behind your juvenile stupidity there is a shimmer of your opinion, there always is in every troll post, and is always funny to crush your biased uninformed views of the world.

  14. Re:Start your own on Ask Slashdot: Getting Hired As a Self-Taught Old Guy? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Gray hair and looking for a job means he haven't saved enough for that (I will not dare to guess the reasons for that because they can range from simple irresponsibility to a medical condition).

  15. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Robotic Kiosk Stores Digital Copies of Physical Keys · · Score: 1

    You lock the pick.

  16. Re:If this were an Apple Device on Ouya Android Game Console Launches, Quickly Sells Out · · Score: 1

    I thought it came with a copy of "Let's rip off snobs"

    Flawless analogy.

    $300 less on something that has no practical use.

  19. Re:Scare tactics on Tennessee Official: Water Complaints Could be "Act of Terrorism" · · Score: 1

    No, is your close-mindedness, proneness to be offended and bigotry what makes you lambs.Religious people demand respect while condemning other who not share their views to hell (literally), is painful to live in a world where the most rational opinion on things we have no way to figure out is the only one that is politically correct to make fun of.

  20. Re:imho biofuels are stil "bad". on A Different Approach To Making Alternative Fuels Practical · · Score: 1

    Actually I saw a documentary once about a company (might be this same one) that was doing research and growing algae in vertical, transparent plastic tubes, that sounds space efficient. About the food source, what about organic waste of human populations (food waste, crap, etc)?

    Agree, best nerd joke on slashdot 2013. :w :q

  22. Re:10 years later and it still looks the same on Megatokyo Gets a Visual Novel Game · · Score: 1

    I like Megatokyo, but to be fair than same comparison would show much more significant changes in any other webcomic, even in XKCD.

  23. Re:Ruin the US wheat crop, get a prize! on Monsanto Executive Wins World Food Prize · · Score: 1

    While I agree with you that most of the anti-GMO movement are just the usual granola smoking paranoid bunch (and since I'm a liberal, a vegan and an environmentalist I know that bunch quite well, some of them are even my friends), and that the technology holds promise to mankind, that doesn't mean that all criticism to Monsanto's is unscientific and pure fear mongering. Round up is toxic to ocean's photosynthetic life (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10646-009-0446-7#page-1 I offer a link of just one study, not because you cant' use google, but because the last time I said this here someone told me it was not backed up by facts, which is of course epistemologically impossible so I offer science) and their GM tech allows to spray it indiscriminately cause it won't kill the crop, and this is an issue in an already very troubled ocean environment.

  24. Re:Is that it?! on 2 Men Accused of Trying To Make X-Ray Weapon · · Score: 1

    Tough I'm not pro Israel, much less pro Islamism or pro U.S. (I'm a pacifist you see? I can't support any gun wielding wackos) I wanna make clear that the vast majority of modern (and ancient for that matter) nations were created by force.

  25. Re:A conspiracy... on 2 Men Accused of Trying To Make X-Ray Weapon · · Score: 1

    Well, they do a pretty lousy job in not letting the unfair advantage thing.
