    Being that they are one and the same now.

  2. Re: CA requires commercial licenses for pickup tru on Calif. DMV Back-Pedals On Commercial-Plate Mandate For Ride-Share Drivers · · Score: 0

    No, even an F-150 requires a commercial registration in the state of California. The only exception is if there is a permanently attached camper shell. Permanent meaning welded on or the equivalent.

  3. Time to stop using bitcoin on Winklevoss Twins Plan Regulated Bitcoin Exchange · · Score: 0

    All of its advantages over other currencies are gone anyway.

  4. He meant us right? on Report: DHS Failing On Cybersecurity · · Score: 0

    "the outgoing Senator said that DHS's strategy and programs "are unlikely to protect us from the adversaries that pose the greatest cybersecurity threat." By that he means American civilians pose the greatest threat, right?

  5. Re:Non-paywalled version on Experiments Create Particles Out of a Vacuum Using Neutrinos · · Score: 0

    Where's the money in that?

  6. Same as deployed in Afghanistan on Army To Launch Spy Blimp Over Maryland · · Score: 0

    It's the Raytheon JLENS system. It has some impressive spying capabilities and object tracking ability. They have held up fairly well without being shot down in a warzone, how will they fare on American soil?

  7. Save money on life sentences on Controversial TSA Nudie X-Ray Machines Sent To Prisons · · Score: 0

    Heightened cancer risk leading to less overall lifespan meaning money saved on life sentences. Do you think prisoners will be given the opportunity to have a rigorous pat-down instead of the scanner?

  8. Re:Yet trading goes on on Bitcoin Plunges After Mt. Gox Exchange Halts Trades · · Score: -1

    They're almost as low as beta.

  9. Re:missiles on Do Hypersonic Missiles Make Defense Systems Obsolete? · · Score: 0

  10. Re: Sounds good to me on U.S. Gov't Still Fighting the Man Behind Buckyballs; Guess Who's Winning? · · Score: 0

    Lewd sexual acts involving small magnets you say?

  11. Fighting games on Ask Slashdot: Good Ideas For Creative Gaming With Girlfriend? · · Score: 0

    Mortal Kombat 9 on PC. The tag battles can get pretty intense.

  12. It would do fine on Scientist Seeks 'Adventurous Human Woman' For Neanderthal Baby · · Score: 0

    You don't need to be that intelligent in this day and age. The biggest threat to life is truly crossing the street.

  13. Not worth it on UC's For-Pay Online Course Draws 4 Non-UC Students · · Score: 0

    The prestige of an American university does not warrant the cost. We pay for the implied value of the college we go to, and it is cheapened when the class is not taught in person.

  14. You have the right. on New Illinois Law Protecting Social Media Rights In the Workplace · · Score: 0

    You have the right that everything you post to a public forum is therefore public and accessible. Or else, why did you post on a public forum in the first place?

  15. Re:Part of the reason... on City Council Ordered To Stop CCTV In Taxi Cabs · · Score: 1

    I do the exact same thing in San Diego, California. An 8 mile trek one way only takes me thirty minutes, and with traffic in a car it can often take twenty anyway. I have found that cycling is more expensive than motorcycling though, it turns out the fuel to feed me is more expensive than gas.

  16. Seriously? on Being Honest In Exit Interviews Is Pointless · · Score: 1

    If a business can't handle honesty, they are probably not running very well. Let them have it.

  17. Bravo on Gloves Translate Sign Language Into Auditory Speech · · Score: 0

    This actually does solve a real world problem and I commend them for accomplishing as much as they did. Often people who communicate via sign language are able to understand what other people are saying but they are at a complete loss in having others understand them. This bridges that specific gap in a way that is convenient for both sides.

  18. Re:True #1 Feature! on The 30 Best Features of Windows · · Score: 1

    You'll see that Microsoft is in the business of selling to hardware manufacturers. This operating system allows them to refresh their lines and bring out something that could genuinely be a major success, even if it is a blast from the past, Convertible Tablet PC's. The Lenovo Yoga (though it's lacking Wacom) is an example of something new and different that will have a chance of seeing sales due to this "awful" OS. Perhaps someone out there is realizing that putting the same thing onto the market year after year has to come to an end, and when they look at the Tablet market cutting into the laptop market, they want back in.

  19. On the plus side. on Stone-Throwing Chimp Back In the News With Better Plan · · Score: 1

    At least he isn't thinking like a chimp and throwing poo.

  20. They don't make it easy to delete, but here's how on Facebook Says It's Filtering Comments For Spam, Not Censoring Them · · Score: 1

    https://ssl.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account

    And even if you go through with the deletion process, you still have to avoid logging in (watch out for saved passwords on a laptop) for two weeks.

  21. Re:LaTeX on 12 Ways LibreOffice Writer Tops MS Word · · Score: 1

    I work as a professional photographer and I can agree with this. I do a lot of in studio or on location commercial work. I often assist other photographers on shoots and set up lighting. I tend to have a lot more conversations about grip equipment preferences than cameras, though it may be due to my area of expertise.

  22. Lets get back on topic. on Pay Less If You're a Nice Person: Valve's Freemium Model For DOTA 2 · · Score: 1

    Gabe Newell has gotten fat. If we pick on him, we have to pay more for DOTA 2.

  23. Sounds good and all. on Surgery-Simulating Dummy Allows Doctors To Develop Skills · · Score: 5, Funny

    But does it give an electric shock when they mess up?

    Did you mean /.

  25. Facebook on Assessing Media Bias: Microsoft Vs. Everyone Else · · Score: 1

    With it's anti-privacy measure getting stronger and stronger every iteration, how is it this company gets away without a dark cloud of a media bias anyway?
