  1. Re:diaspora... on Open-Source Social Network Diaspora Goes Live · · Score: 1

    I don't know about that, I join a social network because all the people I know are on it. It's why I joined bebo long ago (was extremely popular in New Zealand), it's why I migrated to facebook. I can't see too many of the people I know being interested in moving to diaspora.

  2. Re:Needs more Xbox on Microsoft Says Kinect Left Open By Design · · Score: 1

    Moonwalking is a art.

  3. Google on Hacked iRobot Uses XBox Kinect To See World · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Google BotView. Little robots roaming the world making 3d models of everything.

  4. Re:What's so special? on Problem-Solving Bacteria Crack Sudoku · · Score: 5, Funny

    The fact that you're comparing your abilities to that of bacteria worries me.

  5. Re:Legibility on The World's Smallest Legible Font · · Score: 4, Funny

    Next news story: "Slashdotter snaps someones neck through the internet."

  6. Correlation on Sex Drugs and Texting · · Score: 1

    Sexual activeness correlates with texting and "drug and alchohol" use. And the one they decide to say is more likely to cause it is the texting?

  7. Re:I'm waiting for an unearthly voice... on Construction On Spaceship Factory Set To Begin In the Mojave · · Score: 1

    You clearly need to build additional pylons.

  8. Re:Damn... on Court Returns Stolen Stargate MMO To Founder · · Score: 2, Funny

    Eli? Yes, he did play a lot of that MMO.

  9. Re:really? on Pee On Your Phone STD Test · · Score: 1

    This whole "There's an app for that" craze is getting out of hand.

  10. Re:Who says we don't have the best healthcare? on Americans Less Healthy, But Outlive Brits · · Score: 1

    It's funny how people think that if one country didn't develop it, no other country would.

  11. Re:Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? on Prepare To Be Watched While You Watch a Movie · · Score: 1

    But who will watch the watchers watching the watchers watching the watchmen movie?

  12. Re:Do they taste good with fava beens and chianti? on Miniature Human Livers Grown In Lab · · Score: 1

    Miniature livers... Miniature cocktails!

  13. Re:More Importantly on Vans Drive Themselves Across the World · · Score: 1

    I imagine one of these would be less effective at explosives delivery than a remote controlled vehicle would be.

  14. Re:Well on Meg Whitman Campaign Shows How Not To Use Twitter · · Score: 1

    Definitely. Grown men in tutu's have always made me happy that there are police around.

  15. Re:Privacy on Google Testing an Airborne Camera Drone · · Score: 1

    The cameras looking into your house is where it goes far over the line. Which was what I was speaking of. Anything outside is viewable from a public area.

  16. Re:Privacy on Google Testing an Airborne Camera Drone · · Score: 1

    Ask the local council, I don't know what the equivalent is in america, but to do any sort of construction, you must clear it through them. Google can find out from them.

  17. Re:Backyard party on Google Testing an Airborne Camera Drone · · Score: 1

    It's not so private if you're willing to hold that party in a place you know people may be able to see it.

  18. Re:Perspective Relativity on Google Testing an Airborne Camera Drone · · Score: 1

    I don't know that my government owns any UAV's, however we have laws that require warrents for government officials/police etc.. to perform surveillance on people. (New Zealand Government that is) However the average person is allowed to record any conversation they are a part of, record anything/anyone they see, and follow anyone to see where they go and what they do. However spying on someone in their home goes over the line, and will not hold up in court.

  19. Re:Perspective on Google Testing an Airborne Camera Drone · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that some people don't have the same government as yourself, therefore I cannot comment on what your government has/hasn't done with this technology.

  20. Re:Oh... on Artificial Life Forms Evolve Basic Memory, Strategy · · Score: 1

    Don't get your hopes up, they have yet to develop the ability to call a sport by the proper name.

  21. Re:Privacy on Google Testing an Airborne Camera Drone · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The problem there is when it becomes "surveillance", In my own country, you must have a warrant for that. Taking pictures of the inside of a home is considered surveillance. How far above my house? Interesting question, it doesn't really matter how high I say, as camera quality is getting better all the time, it's the quality of the picture that should matter. Should they be allowed to take pictures from airspace that can see your property as well as if you were standing on the roof? I don't think so. Remember, I'm speaking of the back yard here, what you show on the front yard is practically a public display.

  22. Re:Privacy on Google Testing an Airborne Camera Drone · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There is only a need to update the pictures of places that are changing, like your example of a construction site. Constant picture taking of the average persons property is considered harassment.

  23. Privacy on Google Testing an Airborne Camera Drone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As long as the only pictures they take are legal ones from public places (including airspace), I don't have a problem.

    I agree, we don't have atlantis to hide under.

  25. Re:Just what gamers need on Intel's 50Gbps Light Peak Successor · · Score: 1

    Your parent never said he thought of himself as a hardcore gamer, or showed in any way that he thought of himself as a god. I don't know about you, but USB 1.1 is not enough for many tasks.
