  1. Re:To be used for new torture techniques? on DARPA Jolts the Nervous System With Electricity, Lasers, Sound Waves, and Magnets · · Score: 1

    The Internet of Things! Nah, I'm sure it's used for sensible scenarios. Just as long as folks over there listen to The King of Limbs from Radiohead.

  2. Re: Well, yeah on Linux Kernel Dev Sarah Sharp Quits, Citing 'Brutal' Communications Style · · Score: 1

    You sir are brilliant.

  3. Kindness is rare to find nowadays. I blame the national mood.

  4. Re: Have you ever tried changing the 'culture'? on Linux Kernel Dev Sarah Sharp Quits, Citing 'Brutal' Communications Style · · Score: 1

    I agree with the asshat comment, the man is not a nice person. That's probably why he owns businesses around the world, for his marketable asshatery. It truly is disgusting, claiming, see? I'm a geek just like you little minions. Like a cat with mouse ears, sitting by mice.

    I do love feminists though, hard women and soft men are entertaining concepts, until they become the norm, but humankind alternates from Gods to Godesses, much like social norms.

    Personally I come from a family of strong and assertive women, and although technically feminism only states that men and women are equal, I find it easier to say yes m'am than yes sir on communications etiquette.

    If you dive a little deeper into your own minds and answer the following questions, "Did your mother or your father punish you as a child, or did nothing to correct your behaviour?" Your perspective on this Linus vs. Sarah beef will make much more sense.

    The real question is, are there any new bugs in the USB 3.0 code?
    Keep it civil, make it work (Linus quit being a dick, you're not that old and we know you're human. Sarah quit, oh, well she already did... YEA LINUS, congrats on dropping a mentos in a closed soda bottle), and keep the code bug free.

  5. Original XBOX on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your Most Awesome Hardware Hack? · · Score: 1

    Put in a DVD drive where you flip the motor so it reads inversely and skips the DRM checking. Soldered in a mod chip onto the mainboard's debug extension. All for the purpose of being able to play backup games... Not ISOs I downloaded online and burnt on a DVD no, backup games.

  6. Re: My money is on.... on FBI and DEA Under Review For Misuse of NSA Mass Surveillance Data · · Score: 1

    Have some faith, maybe not.

  7. Re: Glorious! on (Over-)Measuring the Working Man · · Score: 1

    Back in the old days in Turkey oh I'd say in the 70s, bossman would pull up a small chair, get his news paper and watch all his employees as they worked, loudly sipping his tea. As soon as he looked away employees would try to rest, nobody trusted the bossman back then, they just trusted each other. I'm glad we're over such sweatshop treatment of the all watchful eye.

  8. Re: "JLENS blimp that had cost about $182 million" on Don't Worry, That Blimp Isn't Watching You Much · · Score: 1

    It's funny how people get apathetic about the giant floppy blimp in the sky after looking at it long enough.

  10. Re: /facepalm on Mark Zuckerberg Issues Call For Universal Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Bono was on there? Sign me up, in this day and age parts of Africa still have children without Internet access.

  11. Re: Radiohead fans? on GCHQ Tried To Track Web Visits of "Every Visible User On Internet" · · Score: 1

    I would have called it, ILL-LOGICAL

  12. Re: Minority report. on Police Program Aims to Pinpoint Those Most Likely to Commit Crimes · · Score: 1

    It's a fraternity mindset with cops. You mess with my bro, I'll get you bro! They'll go just short of framing you (one would hope) to catch you for your future crimes.

  13. Re: Minority report, or Moon City? on Police Program Aims to Pinpoint Those Most Likely to Commit Crimes · · Score: 1

    Either way I don't think I'd mind being identified as a "hot person".

  14. Re: Radiohead fans? on GCHQ Tried To Track Web Visits of "Every Visible User On Internet" · · Score: 1

    The only way we can have any hope for privacy is for quantum processors to become widely available. Also cheap electron microscopes would be nice.

  15. Re: Worse than the space station? No. on Let's Not Go To Mars · · Score: 1

    If the POTUS promises and delivers the world will watch.

  16. Re: How about if we OWN our personal information? on The Difficulty In Getting a Machine To Forget Anything · · Score: 2

    You would think US would be the first country in the world to make that a law, given to respect individuality has always been a core value of ours. We instinctively believe that our private information is owned by us as individuals. What we do have are FOIA and Privact Act requests from any agency which will just about everytime will be treated with suspicion, not to mention it can easily be denied. So what we really have is a mechanism for an agency to audit the individual raising suspicion, erm I mean requesting for their records.

  17. Re:Stupid people are stupid on 9th-Grader May Face Charges After Homemade Clock Mistaken For Bomb · · Score: 1

    When a nation is in a state of terror, terrorists have won. It's what we see here today. It also justifies bloated military budgets. Think about it, more you prejudge and grope people in the name of security, more reason you'll have to prejudge and grope people, thus creating jobs.

  18. Re:Common sense = none on Report: Computers 'Do Not Improve' Pupil Results · · Score: 1

    I think we should Google that. Now where's that computer?

  20. Re: Obvious consequence on How To Find Out If GCHQ and the NSA Spied On You, and How To Complain · · Score: 2

    My advice to you is, "Don't." It's not just watching you that would irk the soul, it's what one can get away with outside the scope of reason. If I hired 5 people to take turns watching you 24/7 and tasked them to shoot your house with an ice pellet gun everytime you start reading a book, that can get pretty annoying after a few years. One could have a conversation about your day right beside you and you wouldn't ask because it would just be a couple of strangers talking amongst themselves. So yea, unless you got money and time to waste, it's not worth it, not going to make the world any better, just going to piss you off.

  21. Kanye West on Security on Sen. Ron Wyden Says CISA Data Collection Could Put Americans At Risk · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Kanye West would put an end to this pointless and extremely intrusive surveillance trends sweeping the world right now. Yeezy for President!

  22. Not discrediting those guys, but my point wasn't to crown the neckbeard, but rather to point out within the context of Apple, that the Woz was the wizard behind the curtain. He's also known for having a beard.

  23. Re: oops on Steve Wozniak "Steve Jobs Played No Role In My Designs For the Apple I & II" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The original bearded nerd. Unfortunately talent often comes with a lack of social skills. Meaning being dumb enough to be a dick and suffer no mental consequences. Lets face it, smart people need dumb people to be assholes for them. Is life that simple? Of course it is, when you buy ememisya's luscious confidence shots.

  24. Rad on Apple's Privacy Policies Are Keeping Data Scientists Away · · Score: 1

    Oh wow, you mean Apple cares about your privacy? Bad Apple, here's my worst nightmare, and a list of my favorites cookies. Anybody want it? It's not like anybody could abuse this information.

  25. Play God on Ask Slashdot: What Would You Do If You Were Suddenly Wealthy? · · Score: 1

    Well of course I'd have to be original and find myself in the privileged position to send out a satellite to space to be able to monitor all human activity on the planet so I can watch everyone else do nothing instead. Since I can't be quite sincere with my feelings given the paranoia of people's eyes on my wealth, I would just use all the pent up anger and unexpressed love to see if I can influence others outside the scope of reasonable sensory input. Such as putting an extra dot on your T.V., or playing the sound of a bird that lives near your home every time you open the door to leave your house, speeding up your computer fans and what-not, all in a reasonably dismissible manner to satisfy those ignored feelings. This would make me be in a position to scare my new billionaire friends (since they would think I know everything) and given the God Mode view I have in other people's lives, it would give others the feeling of my superior position in society. Yea, that sounds like a good plan. All so one day future generations would look back and say, "Wow, that guy, he really made it good in life, he could watch me try!" That's what we're all aiming for here folks. The stage of life! And less fortunate are the non-volunteer cast! What could be better? Minding my own business? Falling in love? Raising children like every other mammal on the planet? Naaaah, that's for ugly and poor people. Screw those guys.
