  1. Next up in about 32 years time, they might just work out the next impossibly difficult part of the movie to understand, That from the opening scene the whole thing is a web add from start to finish. Some how many ppl seem to miss the "Do you want to know more" web style click ads.

  2. Any more.... on Insect-Inspired Flying Robot Handles Collisions And Keeps Going · · Score: 0

    Could this be anymore misleading.. Can maybe editors use an ounce of brain power before approving these?
    Or as I sadly expect the case to be, at lest force advertisers to not make such crapy posts.

    Maybe it should be titled "Forcefield protects Super AI Military bot, buy one yourself"

  3. Next up. on MEPs Vote To Suspend Data Sharing With US · · Score: 1

    How long before we hear calls to declare the whole EU as terrorist sympathisers?
    As more of this comes out, I hope others join the EU and we start looking at a embargo on sharing information with the US until it learns.

    What, you don't think we will be asking ourselves that once more in a few years?

  7. Re:Shoot first on Bennett Haselton's Response To That "Don't Talk to Cops" Video · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The real question here is...

    Why is Slashdot publishing legal advice given by someone with a master's degree in mathematics that contradicts the advice given by a law professor?

    This is as bad as news.com.au having a front page artical today, that was about fastfood and it was just a collection of Reddit quotes, and most if not all where from Americans...

    It seems reporting is dead, and so to is the last drop of common sense the upvotes and editors have.

    Whats wrong with you, the new official Bitcoin comparison rate is measured in "RWU's" or long hand "Ross William Ulbricht's" @ a rate of 1:$80 Million US.

  10. or... on US Intelligence Chief Defends Attempts To Break Tor · · Score: 2

    Anyone else feel that is NSA says they tried to compromise Tor but didn't, that means they know someone's about to release something that shows they were working on it.. and I'd guess they have not failed.

    Thermovoltaic works on the difference between hot and cold, you will get much more power on a few hundred degrees difference rather than 10 degrees

  13. Re:BioLite on Charge Your Mobile Device With Fire · · Score: 1

    Could be because

    a) the store link on their page doesn't seem to work
    b) Its $129 vs $80
    c) the FlameStower seems to lit a max output of 3W vs 2W
