  1. Good news on MIT Institute's Gloomy Prediction: 'Global Economic Collapse' By 2030 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Some times you just need to start over. I'm well stocked with solver coins, shotgun shells, peanut butter, and tampons. I'll be able to trade for whatever I need in the collapse.

  2. Samzenpus now trolling? on Canadians Protest Wind Turbines · · Score: 1

    They're protesting SUBSIDIZING turbines, not the turbines.

  3. camera on Instagram Debuts On Android · · Score: 1

    My Android tablet doesn't have a camera... how does this help me?

  4. If you need a cargo container of routers on Google, Amazon, Microsoft Go East For Network Gear · · Score: 1

    Then you're doing it wrong. Cloud is not about who can stuff the most servers in the most racks in the biggest building. That's what everyone is ALREADY doing. Cloud is about the SERVICE - which can in many cases be hosted on big iron.

    Meanwhile, we can be sure Azure or whatever it is will come with a nice OOB "management" feature accessible only to certain key groups in China.

  5. Re:Too long on Software-Defined Radio For $11 · · Score: 1

    No kidding. Are people too illiterate to read a 1 page article?

  6. Re:Indeed on Smartphones Invade the Prepaid Market · · Score: 2

    Chickety-china, the chinese chicken.

  7. "Imagine this happening in the US" on 1.9 Billion Digits: Brazil's Bid For Biometric Voting · · Score: 1

    Who are you, Roland Piquipaille? Trolling for page hits? Slashdot readers don't need to be shepherded to draw conclusions. This is not 5th grade. Christ, Editors.... EDIT !

  8. Half the households in America own Apple products on Independent Audit Finds Foxconn Violates Chinese Work Rules · · Score: 1

    I love showing articles like this to those liberals.

  9. How much for how much? on Virginia Approves First Offshore Wind-Energy Turbine For US Waters · · Score: 2

    How much is it costing to get that 5MW of power?

  10. A huge win ... for the Chinese on Solar Power Is Booming — Why Do We Want To Kill It? · · Score: 1

    We need to kill cheap/stupid solar power because it funnels dollars into yuan.

  11. Spin up a home server on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Manage Your Personal Data? · · Score: 1

    stripe the drives, export the whole pile as a share and copy everything to the server.

    Christ, this is 2012, storage is a solved problem.

  12. American parents will lap this up on Brazilian Schoolchildren Tagged By Computer Chips · · Score: 2

    It promises security and at the same time obviates the need for the parents to be responsible - the perfect American dream.

  13. Re:But NFC doesn't hold cash? on Will Mobile Wallets Replace Their Traditional Counterparts? · · Score: 1

    I not only use cash but prefer to pay in coin. You know, the supposed actual value of the metal in the coins, so you're trading value for value, not some slip of paper.

  14. Chill because everyone else will see it anyway on Michael Bay To Remake TMNT As Aliens · · Score: 1

    He's not making it for the fans, he's making it in order to merchandise to younger kids, and when the movie opens, it's a place for teenagers to go to make out. He's not making it for the TMNT Fans, all 12 of them are living in their mom's basement with no spending power.

  15. Re:You can't have it all, guys on Optimize Offshore Wind Farms Using Weather Modeling · · Score: 3

    It's not a race to the bottom, or in your case, a race to see who can abase himself and sacrifice more. Europe has neither pristine landscapes or a non-petrol economy, so how's that working for you?

  16. Nothing to do with a Wifi router on A Hacked WiFi Router, an API, and a Toy Bus: It's the Ambient Bus Arrival Monito · · Score: 1

    Any tiny Linux box would work - here he's just using the 54G for the OS.

  17. Re:Old News, I say! on Peoples' Immune Systems Can Now Be Duplicated In Mice · · Score: 1

    You mean the other way around:

    "It stood up to the load in production, so lets use that codebase for our development!"

  18. Barter HELPS avoid sanctions on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How do you track when someone swaps 100 tons of wheat or 100 bars of gold for some barrels of oil? You can't. If you "let" them use the international monetary system, you have a means of tracking all their activites. Follow the money and you find the bad guys. Giving them a pass on that lets them trade with whomever they want without any trace.

  19. "zero" emissions on The Mercedes-Benz 'Cloaking Device' · · Score: 1

    Who made the hydrogen for the fuel cell? Underpants gnomes?

  20. Re:Stick one to the side of a big pirnter / copier on Stealthy Pen Test Unit Plugs Directly Into 110 VAC Socket (Video) · · Score: 1

    What do you think "collision" means?

  21. They'll just steal it anyway on China May Restrict Genetically Engineered Rice · · Score: 0

    China will send a couple of "post-grad interns" to study at Monsanto, and steal the IP anyway.

  22. You're not "creating" on Play Angry Birds With a USB Slingshot · · Score: 1

    Someone already did that, you're just following directions. It's the difference between an "engineer" and a "technician".

  23. The Frog and the Scorpion on Harris Exits Cloud Hosting, Citing Fed Server Hugging · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So this company, likely founded by someone with a buddy in governement, built a new DC that was supposed to get filled by governement servers, and now because the wind shifted they're caught with their pants down?

    Zero sympathy. You tried to cash in on a buzzword, and worse, you hooked your wagon up to the governement. Try a real business model next time.

  24. Math is hard on Cars Emit More Black Carbon Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1, Insightful

    But remember kids, no matter how often the math is wrong, you're always right to panic. Oh, and elect people who will take your freedoms away in the name of the math du jour.

  25. Why not for everyone? on Vaccine Could Cut Heroin Addiction · · Score: 1

    Why not anyone who's using heroin, why just "serious addicts"? When you have the nuclear, sure-fire fix, why does Medicine persist in trying nickel-and-dime schemes?
