  1. Re:And nothing of value was lost. on Bitcoinica Breach Nets Hackers $87,000 In Bitcoins · · Score: 0

    All you have to do is not use their service. Presto, instant regulation.

  2. Feelings are more important than science on Positive Bias Could Erode Public Trust In Science · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Right? isn't that what American schools and TV have been teaching for the last 30 years? Nerds aren't cool - facts are open to interpretation - everyone is special - you can eat more than you grow... When you have a society rewarding irrationality, what do you expect? Rigorous science?

  3. Re:Curtail 'free speech' by lying corporations? on Israel Passes Photoshop Law To Combat Anorexia · · Score: 1

    The assholes you elected. The ones who promised you all-day kindergarten, cheap co-pays on your cancer medicine, and a worry-free retirement. You sold your soul along time ago.

  4. Re:Radiation Hormesis on Jars of Irradiated Russian Animals Find a New Purpose · · Score: 1

    So its like defragging your hard drive?

  5. Re:Obama knows how to play politics if anything. on GOP Blocks Senate Debate On Dem Student Loan Bill · · Score: 1

    Yes, that is how our socialized system works.

  6. Re:Multiple consoles on Why You Don't Want a $99 Xbox 360 · · Score: 0

    If you're a working class family with a lot of kids, you have no business buying an XBox.

  7. Re:Poor Country == Corruption on Low-Cost Indian Tablet Project Falls To Corruption · · Score: 1

    You have it backwards.

    Corruption == Poor Country

  8. Re:take look at amahi.org on Ask Slashdot: DIY NAS For a Variety of Legacy Drives? · · Score: 1

    Use proper RAID and not lose any data.

  9. Re:Why So Serious? on Microsoft Using Linux To Optimize Skype Traffic · · Score: 1

    Claiming Windows is a low maintenance multi purpose server which is easily configurable invalidated anything you say after that.

  10. Applying security patches is a good idea? on Microsoft Says Two Basic Security Steps Might Have Stopped Conficker · · Score: 5, Funny

    So basically they're saying if you had better passwords and applied patches, you'd avoid security problems?

    Nice to see MS on the cutting edge of security research.

  11. Why heat the air? on Wind Turbine Extracts Water From Air · · Score: 1

    It claims to heat the (hot, desert) air to "produce steam" which is then condensed. The water is already in the air, you don't need to heat it, just cool it to grab the water out.

    Either this is a crap article, or its one of those over-unity perpetual motion scams.

  12. So dont fly those long hours on Snoozing Pilot Mistakes Venus For Aircraft; Panic, Injuries Ensue · · Score: 1

    You have a union, use it. Stop flying. Oh wait, this is Canuckistan, where the government has to do everything.

  13. Pop Science on All Hands Active in Ann Arbor is a Makerspace for All Ages (Video) · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Makerspace" - a culmination of pop science/Mythbusters viewers who take off-the-shelf stuff, without knowing how it works, cobble it together, and claim to be hackers.

    Sad, sad world. Where's the next Steve Wozniak?

  14. Send criminals on NASA Looking For Ideas To Explore Mars · · Score: 0

    Send criminals, the way the British used Australia. Either they make it or they don't, but you don't have to worry about packing fuel for the return trip. Ship them supplies and see what happens.

  15. Re:There's more than one kind of despression on Treating Depression With Electrodes Inside the Brain · · Score: 1

    You're missing the point that Roosevelt was ALSO a Socialist.

  16. Is anyone surprised they do this? on Whistleblower In Limbo After Reporting H-1B Visa Fraud At Infosys · · Score: 1

    Infosys is out to make money. Companies are out to boost short term share prices. Do you think either care about the government's visa requirements?

  17. 10 PRINT "I am awesome"
    20 GOTO 10
    30 REM ROFL

    Try basic first - no variable types, its all human readable, no semicolon hell, etc.

  18. Improvement or lockdown? on How the Sinking of the Titanic Sparked a Century of Radio Improvements · · Score: 1

    It sounds more to me like various powers used this as an excuse to exercise greater controls. Never waste a good crisis, right?

  19. 2nd Etsy Slashvertisement today on Etsy Hacker Grants Support Female Programmers · · Score: 0

    Nice Slashdot. Way to be, you know, journalistic.

  20. Why fix the roads? on Using Non-Newtonian Fluids To Fill Potholes · · Score: 1

    Where does it say that the local government has to fix roads? Or even MAKE roads?

  21. Internets all the way down? on Multicore Chips As 'Mini-Internets' · · Score: 1

    And then each router, which is a processing unit in its own right, could have multiple cores, which would exhibit the same drawbacks... until you put a network of processors inside that!

  22. The Matrix on McAfee Claims Successful Insulin Pump Attack · · Score: 1

    The Matrix giveth, and the Matrix taketh away.

  23. What is this "reflashing" you speak of? on Mercedes Can Now Update Car Software Remotely · · Score: 1

    Why quote the word? It's a common English word these days, especially amongst nerds reading slashdot.

  24. Re:Why? on Update On Wayland and X11 Support · · Score: 4, Informative

    You are correct - anything else IS eye candy. And many of us ARE happy with TWM and X Terminals - because those are the tools we need to do our jobs.

  25. AppleCat 300baud modem on Online Services: The Internet Before the Internet · · Score: 2

    AppleCat FTW. If you had the special daughterboard AND you were calling another AppleCat owner, you could get 1200 baud!
