    Amid Fiscal Uncertainty Venture Capital Is Way Down In Silicon Valley

    Ummm, is this a good time to invest in Slashdot? :)

  2. Re:Translation: on Tesla Motors Sued By Car Dealers · · Score: 2

    For that my new business model is patenting making snarky comments, and making a fortune off of people like you.

  3. Re:Translation: on Tesla Motors Sued By Car Dealers · · Score: 1

    Even if it did, I don't see the death of the dealership, especially when you're talking about something the size and price of an automobile. As far as cars being shipped from maker to future owner? Already happens. I've had cars from overseas shipped to the US.

  4. Re:Translation: on Tesla Motors Sued By Car Dealers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is it? I thought it was," we have to obey these government imposed laws, you should too".

  5. Everyone loves a winner. on Nate Silver's Numbers Indicate Probable Obama Win, World Agrees · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What's in it for the rest of the world if Obama wins?

  6. Paging Dr Dolittle. on VR Tech Lets People Interact With Rats · · Score: 1

    The rat was remotely represented by a computer-generated human avatar, which the person in Mundet saw via a head-mounted virtual reality display – whatever the rat did in Bellvitge, its animated human representative appeared to do in Mundet.

    So one could watch a human lick it's balls?

  7. Re:Can we see on AMD Licenses 64-bit Processor Design From ARM · · Score: 1

    Actually I see this eventually rendering "for X architecture..." irrelevant. The more important "for what OS" will be dealt with using VMs. The need for more cycles to pull all this off competitively will mean we finally find a use for all those "solutions looking for a problem" engineers have been dreaming up.

  8. Who's up first? on Air Force Lab Test Out "Aircraft Surfing" Technique To Save Fuel · · Score: 1

    What about the lead aircraft? Does he run out of gas first and crash and burn, leaving a new lead to continue the cycle?

  9. Re:And this is why on Alan Cox to NVIDIA: You Can't Use DMA-BUF · · Score: 1

    I have BSD on line one. They would like to have a word with you.

    The CAFC opinion is worth reading.

    Well when I went to school probability didn't even exist. :)

  13. HP Inside. on Google Glass, Augmented Reality Spells Data Headaches · · Score: 1

    Something, something about Moore's Law.

  14. Insourcing stones. on Lenovo Building Manufacturing Plant in North Carolina · · Score: 1

    It makes sense: their U.S. HQ is a stone's throw away in RTP.

    Hopefully the stones are made in the US.

  16. Curiosity. on Researchers Using AI To Build Robotic Bees · · Score: 2

    A certain Mars Rover comes to mind.

    The power source is now a black hole. Oh wait! Skip the gun and throw the black hole at the target.

    Wonderful! First our video games are on rails. Now our guns are.

    Just sad. Europe and Asia are quickly leaving the U.S. behind.

    We need to catch up.

    (TAARREEO) Turrets Armed Against Roving Robotic Espionage with Exploding Ordinance.

  22. Re:Just socialise the damn thing already on Medicare Bills Rise As Records Turn Electronic · · Score: 1

    Some valid points, but we already have socialized medicine and have for decades. It's called Medicare/Medicaid and a large segment does understand. Just try taking away those two programs from seniors and the AARP will be down on any politician that tries.

  23. Re:The real fraud... on Medicare Bills Rise As Records Turn Electronic · · Score: 1

    Pretty much and what the above poster left out isn't just "making money". There's also the desire to not "spend money" which can have comparable effects to the other.

  24. Re:The real fraud... on Medicare Bills Rise As Records Turn Electronic · · Score: 1

    Until we get a president and congress that will pass healthcare reform that will truly end this cycle for good, expect your health costs to skyrocket.

    How's healthcare reform going to address the patient's desire to sue people?

  25. Invisible forms on The Implications of Google Restricting Access To Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A popular meme in the Information Age is that the Internet spreads democracy by enabling citizens to organize and speak out...

    A rather one sided meme. The internet spreads hate and intolerance as well using the same principles. The internet is both a conduit and a doorstep shaped by the capacity to make perception what we want.
