  1. It may well be automatic on Uber Suspends Australian Transport Inspector Accounts To Block Stings · · Score: 1

    Don't Uber riders get rated by the drivers after the trip? Presumably after a couple of very negative reviews from drivers (who collected $1700 dollar fines), Uber would automatically block these undesirable riders. Seems a more likely explanation than a conspiracy to obstruct a police action. Then again, Uber doesn't have a great moral track record.

  2. Re:Problem? on How the World's Agricultural Boom Has Changed CO2 Cycles · · Score: 2

    It's an academic problem. The problem is: our models don't explain the variation in the CO2 cycles that we were seeing. The solution to the problem is to include this research and adjust the models.

  3. Re:Send the American icebreaker! on Australian Icebreaker Tries To Get Through To Stranded Antarctic Research Ship · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I do wonder who is going to be paying for these rescue attempts.

  4. Not anatomically correct on Patent Filing Reveals Samsung's Designs For Google Glass Competitor · · Score: 1

    Judging from the drawings, I don't see how the earphones would actually connect to ones ears.

  5. CO2 emissions on Roadkill Forcing Cliff Swallows To Evolve · · Score: 1

    It's actually related to the amount of CO2 in the air - atmosphere volume has increased via burning liquid fuels, which increased the air density at the surface, which allowed shorter wings to provide the same lift as the larger historical wings. Or the car thing.

  6. Add new cables on Ask Slashdot: Extreme Cable Management? · · Score: 1

    It's likely not worth your time to untangle cables when cables are cheap and your time is not. Just keep a couple spare cables around and add new ones as needed and let the old ones lie. When you do a major computer swap, throw out/recycle the old cable bundle.

  7. Re:FP on Graphic Novelist Calls For Better Game Violence · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough - I read FP as "first person", which as opposed to FPS, is basically what we're left with once bullets become deadly. An astute comment.
