  1. Re:Go back to utorrent 2.2.1 on uTorrent Quietly Installs Cryptocurrency Miner · · Score: 1

    Doesn't what's reported in the summary seem a "problem" to you?

  2. Re:How are these better than traffic lights? on Robocops Being Used As Traffic Police In Democratic Republic of Congo · · Score: 1

    Because if you're too undisciplined, it'll punish you with that tool you can see at its pubis height.

  3. Big Bang Theory? on Spock and the Legacy of Star Trek · · Score: 1

    Do you know if they're planning a tribute to Nimoy is some episodes?

  4. Re:As seen on 'Person of Interest' Intro .. on US Govt and Private Sector Developing "Precrime" System Against Cyber-Attacks · · Score: 1

    I was thinking more of "Minority Report"...

  5. Re:Linux? Is that still a thing? on Linux Kernel Switching To Linux v4.0, Coming With Many New Addons · · Score: 1

    At my home and my office it dominates the desktop, too.

  6. Re:Does not work on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 1

    As a personal experience, early exposure to porn can distort your approach to sex when it's time. And something deep inside still tells me that a 10yo child should not watch porn.

  7. Re:For an ACTUAL solution... on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I was looking for people who actually went through it. My kids are also too young currently, but I'd like to be prepared.

  8. Re:A lot of hate in these comments... on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I was looking for people who actually went through it. Education and conversations are of course the first thing, and it hurts that many commenters decided I wanted to replace them with technology.

  9. Re:If they're old enough to surf on their own ... on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I was especially looking for people who actually went through it.

  10. Re:personal experience on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 1

    Thank you, I was looking for people who actually went through it.

  11. Re:Not going to work on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I guess it's much of a lost battle. But as a parent you feel guilty if you don't try. It's like when they go walking down the street alone, you know it's alright, but you know there are a couple of dangerous crossroads and try to be sure to address those at least.

  13. Re:The best trick on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 0

    You all don't even have the balls to tell who you are when insulting people for no reason. I guess in real life you're even more coward, otherwise many people would kick you in the face for telling them they are incompetent parents without even knowing them.

  14. Re:The best trick on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah I guess "how to detect an alien invasion" was more useful. Anyway I don't know why a parent should not be a good parent if he looks for extra means of protecting his children, other than what you can do every day. But asking something sensible here is like asking the drunkens at the bar.

  15. Re:The best trick on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Before all the other idiot comments like this, nobody is denying that supervision and education are the first thing, but as said in the summary, parents have limited time, and children have many ways of accessing the web.

  16. Why should they invade earth? on Ask Slashdot: How Could We Actually Detect an Alien Invasion From Outer Space? · · Score: 2

    To me the best argument against an invasion is this (not mine, of course): with all the incredible technology they would have, they would find what they need in millions best places in the galaxy. Why should they chose one little planet among billions ones, and just the rare one that's hosting life? Unless they are sadist and enjoy killing living beings, of course, but that would be a too much expensive hobby even for them, I guess...

  17. Re:the irony... on Russia Seeking To Ban Tor, VPNs and Other Anonymizing Tools · · Score: 1

    Let alone how does Russia reconcile giving asylum to Snowden with banning all the freedom rights he represents.

  18. no "cheap and simple"! on Ask Slashdot: Panic Button a Very Young Child Can Use · · Score: 1

    It's your wife and children you're talking about, look for the best solution, even if expensive and complex. It will not be worse than all the cameras you already set up.

  19. Re:I want a Dinosaur Excavator on Boston Dynamics Introduces Their Newest Four-Legged Robot, 'Spot' · · Score: 1

    and a pelican as a vacuum cleaner?

  20. Is it on heat? on Boston Dynamics Introduces Their Newest Four-Legged Robot, 'Spot' · · Score: 1

    Ah ah, at 1:25 it seems like one of the robots wants to mate with the other one!

  21. Re:Back to the future ? on Quantum Computing Without Qubits · · Score: 1

    Just what I was thinking. I'm not expert on quantum computing (but who is?), but I think an analog computer simulates an analog system, or at most another analog computer. About a quantum computer, isn't it impossible to simulate, due to its very nature? Unless you count the qubits that mother nature has built for us in every particle, and so every single particle evolving in the universe can be seen as a quantum computer simulator.

  22. Real problem is... on Quantum Computing Without Qubits · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... if you know the computer's speed, you cannot know where the computer is.

  23. If you are a law enforcement agency, you don't need the password and you make Facebook give you the data. If you are not, the bully can delete his data before he is caught, and you cannot recover them.

  24. Re:Wat need does it fulfill better on Could Tizen Be the Next Android? · · Score: 1

    Why should Tizen be more suitable for low-end devices? It seems to me like an OS with the same functionalities as Android or iOS.

  25. Re:Death is a creative force. on Silicon Valley's Quest To Extend Life 'Well Beyond 120' · · Score: 1

    Imagine if Genghis Khan's life had been extended, or Stalin's

    Those kind of people do not die of old age...
