  1. Discloure and indemnity clause? on iOS 9.3 Will Tell You If Your Employer Is Monitoring Your iPhone (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    I"m surprised you don't have a standard form that explains that the employee has the right to opt out of the company's intrusive tracking of the use of a personal phone. And, the employee guarantees than no one under 13 years of age will be allowed to use the phone.

  2. I recently heard a young man claim that he had become a sheepdog when he joined a local police department. That attitude really scares me. I tend to think of most of them as scarecrows.

  3. Re:Range Limiting Bullet on Army Researchers Patent Self-destructing Bullet Designed To Save Lives (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Clueless! Read up on range design. You don't design for the general, you design for the exception.

    "We also must gauge the maximum range of typical small-arms ammunition. The .22 long rifle is going about 4,590 feet. That is just under a mile. The .223 travels about two miles. The .30-caliber is going about 15,000 feet or three miles. Those are considerable distances."

  4. Certainly not destructive, just range limited. Actually, makes a lot of sense, especially during training where you'd like to keep bullets inside a well defined area.

  5. Dead men don't get trials.

  6. Hottest Month? How about hottest Hour or Minute? on Last January Was the Hottest Global Temperature Anomaly In Recorded History · · Score: 1

    A month or even a year is too short to use as a period in talk about climate. I know that the public relates well to that talk but it's not appropriate.

  7. operating outside the bounds of law? on 'Rogue Scientists' Could Exploit Gene Editing Technology, Experts Warn (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Stated as if petty nation/state laws could solve all problems. Childish!

  8. Re:stupid claim, schwit1 on North Korea's Satellite Tumbling In Orbit · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Absolutely right, with humans only populating about 1% of the surface of the earth accuracy is not to be ignored.

    The recent meteorite that exploded above Chelyabinsk is estimated to be a 500 kiloton equivalent and that didn't bring the region to its knees.

  9. Study Finds Rat Can Grow Brain Cells Through Exer on Study Finds You Can Grow Brain Cells Through Exercise · · Score: 1

    Study Finds Rats Can Grow Brain Cells Through Exercise FTFY Unless you are a rat the study doesn't show that you can grow brain cells through exercise.

  10. Re:Typical federal government tactic on Obama Calls For $4B 'Computer Science For All' Program For K-12 Schools (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't blame SCOTUS, the are no limits. Should there be? I think so.

    Amendment XVI
    The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

  11. 25/5 or nothing on Why 6 Republican Senators Think You Don't Need Faster Broadband (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree, dumbing down the spec will make "high speed" available to more people, especially people in fly-over country. I know quite a few people in the midwest burbs who have terrible service. They'd love to get 6/.5 but you helpful people say they have to have 25/5 or nothing, so they're getting nothing.

  12. BS emminent front on Grisly Find Suggests Humans Inhabited Arctic 45,000 Years Ago (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    So all the liberal, alarmist, media that live and work in NYC are waffling? When NBC closes their Rockefeller center studio and moves it to Denver I'll take notice. You know because a lot of New York City is less than 16 feet above mean sea level!

  13. flagged or flogged or modded out of existence? on Twitter Bans 'Hateful Conduct' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't twit with the twits, but maybe I'll start. I'll have to find some nice Rev Rice quotes and twit them. I'll be happy to have my accounts flagged or flogged or modded out of existence.

  14. For the underclass on NASA Is Creating a Virtual Reality Mission To Mars (roadtovr.com) · · Score: 1

    The really rich guys get to go there in person but the hoi polloi get to stay here and dream about it. I'm glad I'm not rich.

  15. Worthless Troll on IT Worker Fired After Massive Georgia Data Breach Speaks Out (ajc.com) · · Score: 0

    Take your politics else where.

  16. Countermeasures are trivial.

  17. WTF? on Carnegie Mellon Denies FBI Paid For Tor-Breaking Research (wired.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  18. bureaucrats can't fight ISIL attack supplements on DoJ Going After Makers of Dietary Supplement (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    What a brave, resourceful, federal system we have. No tailgating, swipe your badge.

  19. 22nm is old school for Intel on Intel Launches 72-Core Knight's Landing Xeon Phi Supercomputer Chip (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    "The cores are 14nm versions of Silvermont, rather than 22nm P54C"

  20. Re:their have bosses on The Next Big IT Projects From the University Labs (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Open source sure is magic sauce. I thought agile would help improve development but now I find out that we could have just changed the license.

  21. I got out of Kali longer before the kids came.

  22. Fuck Linus! That d-bag doesn't... on Linus's Thoughts on Linux Security (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 0

    Seriously, that testosterone dripping asshole thinks he's GOD but if he knew security half as good as he fucking thinks he does I wouldn't have to sudo yum so often. It's fucking easy to dump on everyone else but I'm not hearing him scream sophomoric obscenities at himself for the shit security. For fuck's sake, he named it after himself, I'm surprised he hasn't engaged in Seppuku yet.

  23. Florida rejects high-speed rail funds! on California's $68 Billion Bullet Train Project Faces Major Hurdles (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    "Florida Gov. Rick Scott joined three other Republican governors in rejecting Obama administration funds for rail projects, saying a planned high- speed line in his state could saddle taxpayers with $3 billion in added expenses." Yeah, nobody could have predicted this.

  24. Re:Wut? Wasn't the science settled? on Study Questions Scientific Dating Method Used For Lunar Impacts (wisc.edu) · · Score: 1

    Newton's Laws of Motion were useful approximations but clearly wrong. I'm sure Einstein won't be the last word on it either. Science shouldn't be about right and wrong, but when it's politicized (power and money involved) it tends to become a black/white, right/wrong, settled/denier argument.

  25. These cheese-heads are true deniers! on Study Questions Scientific Dating Method Used For Lunar Impacts (wisc.edu) · · Score: 1

    Criminal nonsense! The models "prove" what happened. We have a graph shaped like a hockey stick that shows the heavy bombardment started 4 BYA. It's proven science, 97.36% of scientists agree. These cheese-heads are true deniers! If there was more money and power involved in this research I'm sure they would be publicly disgraced and banned from further grant money.
