  1. Re:America Cannot Compete on Accenture Faces Mid-March Healthcare.gov Deadline Or 'Disaster' · · Score: 1

    A private sector who has no incentive to succeed. Why deliver working software in 6 monthes when you can claim you need two more years and twice the initial money and are reasonably certain to get obtain it ?

  2. Re:But why 3D printing? on National Lab Working To Mix Metals and Polymers For 3D Printing · · Score: 1

    Imagine a 3D printer that prints an armor in a week (ridiculously slow). Now imagine 1000 of thems. The army can afford it, they literally burn money all year.

  3. Re:GTK is trash on Intel Dev: GTK's Biggest Problem, and What Qt Does Better · · Score: 1

    Also being pure C, it's much faster to compile! And that is an often overlooked advantage. My only gripe about GTK is they didn't go all the way and implement it in assembly to make development even faster.

  4. Will Dell take care of the Steam support too ? on Dell Joins Steam Machine Initiative With Alienware System · · Score: 1

    Please say yes ! It can't be worse than the copy-paste support robots at Steam.

  5. Re:TPP will make it illegal on Cheerios To Go GMO-Free · · Score: 1

    Then there will be a boom in consumption of organic products. They can't forbid organic labels, it's too big of an industry already.

  6. Re:GMOs feed over a billion people on Cheerios To Go GMO-Free · · Score: -1, Troll

    "GMOs feed over a billion people" ... and their cancers. (maybe, maybe not. We'll know for sure in 10 to 20 years, thank you america for being our guinea pigs)

  7. Re:Why go with anything Steam? on SteamOS Will Be Available For Download On December 13 · · Score: 1

    Origin do refund games _if you don't like them_. Steam won't refund utterlly broken trash games, except "War Z" which was a disaster. It happened with X:Rebirth very recently: people edit XML savegame to progress through the story. Some others CTD on startup. Steam support won't refund, they say you used the software for 2 hours so they can't and won't, it's alpha quality at best sold 50 USD. Origin would refund, Amazon would refund, Steam tells you to GTFO. I was a rabid Steam fan once, no longer.

  8. Next up: on Edward Snowden Leaks Could Help Paedophiles Escape Police, Says UK Government · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Snowden was a bankster ! He funnelled billions and billions to offshore accounts with his NSA know-how, he's responsible for the housing bubble and crash !"

  9. Perfectly normal on NSA Monitored Calls of 35 World Leaders · · Score: 2, Informative

    You never know when a world leader goes Al Qaeda suicide bomber all of a sudden, unless you listen it her calls. I'm sure Angela Merkel wears a Burqa secretly when alone at home.

  10. Re:Carbon negative my foot on Carbon-Negative Energy Machines Catching On · · Score: 1

    Well... let's see. Input:

    Output:
    - CO2 (there's an engine in that that burns CO from dead plant)
    - Charcoal = Carbon.

    So we input CO2 and it outputs CO2 and coal. Now unless you don't believe in conservation of mass, or that lumps of charcoal can floats in the atmosphere then it means there's less CO2 in the atmosphere as a result of treating the dead plants with this machine.

  11. It happens when you fire your admins and engineers on NSA's New Utah Data Center Suffering Meltdowns · · Score: 1

    Just wait for next week story: "The NSA can't fucking bring up their servers, whole datacenter crashes in a chaotic storm of network packets"

  12. Re:Not this shit again on Digital Revolution Will Kill Jobs, Inflame Social Unrest, Says Gartner · · Score: 1

    IT and service jobs --> Subsidised consumer (welfare)

    I'm sure the system would be happy to pay everybody monopoly money just to make it work forever. Why, you ask ? Because money in itself has no value. Stop it flowing and it becomes paper and soon enough people use a new currency in their exchanges ; leaving you ruined.

  13. Re:Not suprised on Steam Machine Prototypes Use Intel CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs · · Score: 1

    1001 units ; I'll get one too.

  14. Re:Myth of Global Warming on Upper Limit On Emissions Likely To Be Exceeded Within Decades · · Score: 1

    I don't think we'll sink energy into oil after it's become more expensive than solar power.

  15. Re:Today's Slashvertisement brought to you by... on Valve Announces Steam Controller · · Score: 1

    Hi. How's the weather in Redmond?

  16. Apple protects consumers against rogue cables on Apple Starts Blocking Unauthorized Lightning Cables With iOS 7 · · Score: 1

    In a strong move in favor of consumer protection today Apple stopped counterfeit lighting cables from connection to Apple devices. "This should remove all the risks Apple user face when using these cables, like electrical damage, snooping and viruses. ...err strike that last one, it's not supposed to be possible on iPhone."

  17. Re:Bomb squad volunteer? on USAF Almost Nuked North Carolina In 1961 – Declassified Document · · Score: 1

    One oops with a conventional bomb is hardly more forgiving.

  18. Re:Wait a minute on Brazil Announces Plans To Move Away From US-Centric Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, don't worry they'll use Huawei routers... oh wait...

  19. Re:Pffff on Student Arrested For Using Phone App To 'Shoot' Classmates · · Score: 1

    The boy should be happy they didn't notice his weapon of mass destruction. A phone battery can explode and he very well could have used it to kill several classmates.

  20. I'm sure... on Lord Blair Calls for Laws To Stop 'Principled' Leaking of State Secrets · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the Stasi would have said exactly the same.

  21. Re:Not a gun on Colorado Teen Designs Robotic Arm With 3D Printing · · Score: 1

    Of course it's not a gun. Guns have been done. Now they need *the hands to fire them* !! (or fire them again after a liberator blew up some guy's hand)

  22. Re:This is TRAGIC but.. on Egyptian Security Forces Storm Pro-Morsi Camps Leaving Nearly 100 Dead · · Score: 2

    They got voted in and promptly tried getting unlimited power. To make democracy stronger, no doubt.

  23. Re:Creator on New York's Financial Regulator Subpoenas Bitcoin Companies · · Score: 1

    > You mean the anonymous guy, Satoshi Nakamoto, who nobody has been able to identify?

    You and I both know that if he wasn't anonymous he'd been stopped by now, I'm sure Bitcoin violates some patent, or even simpler: Satoshi may have raped a couple women too? Protecting your anonymity when you pusblish some software that can get the bankers angry makes me trust the guy more because it proves that he's not insane.

  24. Re:Not necessarily firing people? on NSA Firing 90% of Its Sysadmins · · Score: 1

    Be paid to play counter strike all day. The NSA sure can afford it.

  25. Re:Promised Not to Torture? on US Promises Not To Kill Or Torture Snowden · · Score: 1

    It's not torture, just playful waterboarding. But the other countries insist on calling that torture *rolls eyes*. Who doesn't love playing in water ??
