  1. Re:When you can't trust your neighbour on California Attack Has US Rethinking Strategy On Homegrown Terror (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    This sounds hopelessly naive, but it's literally the only way to win. Anything else makes things worse - more striated, more violent, more unstable.

    And the "monitor everything!" response.. has anyone supporting that thought where that goes down the line?

    [no]

  2. Re:indirect strike in 1983 on The Odd Effects of Being Struck By Lightning · · Score: 1

    Brain damage.

  3. Start a company selling support. on Ask Slashdot: Tech Customers Forced Into Supporting Each Other? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You've identified a hole in the market.

  4. Re:So someone didn't follow the practice ... on The Technical Difficulty In Porting a PS3 Game To the PS4 · · Score: 1

    The optimisations are the program, there is no unoptimised state to work from. Have you ever worked with soft real-time code?

  5. Re:Earthquakes competency on Earthquake Warning Issued For Central Oklahoma · · Score: 1

    Do you understand what a probability is?

  6. Re:Way to lose an easy case... on Lavabit Loses Contempt Appeal · · Score: 2

    The rules being followed to the dot is the *only possible way law can work*. WTF, did you even think about the consequences of the opposite situation?

  7. Re:How conveeeenient! on Google Chrome Flaw Sets Your PC's Mic Live · · Score: 1

    It's not the NSA, it's really /shit/ programmers. We're looking for you :p

  8. This is.. on Interview: John McAfee Answers Your Questions · · Score: 5, Insightful

    the single best thing ever posted on slashdot.

  9. Don't steal stuff.. on They're Reading Your Mail: Microsoft's ToS, Windows 8 Leak, and Snooping · · Score: 1

    ..from the company controlling your comms! Jesus Christ these were crappy thieves!

  10. I'm fucking offended. on UK To Create Alan Turing Institute · · Score: 2

    Great, naming an institute doing something intellectually repulsive after him. How little things change.

  11. Re:Why worry - its natural selection in action on Measles Outbreak In NYC · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, it's not a gene pool problem, it's a meme pool problem.

    Those transfer horizontally - which is a problem.

  12. Easy on Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Often-Run Piece of Code -- Ever? · · Score: 1

    "xor eax, eax"

  13. I hope.. on IBM Dumping $1 Billion Into New Watson Group · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ..your city / state / whatever region, hasn't counted on call centres being a major source of employment, because that shit is going bye bye.

    Soon.

  14. Re:This makes me think more about the word "Speed" on New Class of "Hypervelocity Stars" Discovered Escaping the Galaxy · · Score: 3, Informative

    'Relative' is the key. There is no fixed background to say 'This is going absolutely this fast', any observation point in any kind of motion is as viable as any other. It just falls out of a little bit of simple vector maths - so no, your question is not answerable, as it's malformed.

  15. Glass users! on Is the World Ready For Facial Recognition On Google Glass? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hope you're ready to get the shit kicked out of you, because that's inevitably what's going to happen. I can't really see how it isn't going to happen.

    I suspect it'll happen so frequently, that the police in any state won't even bother to charge anyone doing so with a crime after a short while.

    Good luck!

  16. Get an iPad on Ask Slashdot: Easy Wi-Fi-Enabled Tablet For My Dad? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Got one for my mum - problem solved.

    Didn't even have to explain how to use it!

  17. Re:Error in 32/64 bit libraries. Please reinstall on The Chip That Changed the World: AMD's 64-bit FX-51, Ten Years Later · · Score: 1

    They're still here.

  18. Re:A terrible mistake. on Windows RT vs. Windows 8 Could Burn Consumers · · Score: 1

    No, the purpose was mainly rapid application development.

  19. I'm not so sure on The Panic Over Fukushima · · Score: 1

    Who cares about background radiation, I'd be terrified of inhaling reactor core dust.

  20. Re:And... on Indian Gov't Bans Bulk SMS, Investigating Social Media · · Score: 1

    And where exactly are you from?

  21. Re:Apple and OpenGL on OpenGL Version 4.3 Released · · Score: 2

    I don't think you're even slightly technical.

  22. Re:Before someone is accepted, it's not accepted, on John Carmack: Kudos To Valve, But Linux Is Still Not a Viable Gaming Market · · Score: 0

    No, the reason is that it is horrible and expensive to code for. Vastly too expensive for the returns unless it's turned into a closed platform, a la the App Store.

  23. Re:What happens when a car stands still on them? on Using Non-Newtonian Fluids To Fill Potholes · · Score: 1

    This is.. genius. I think I might build a prototype!

  24. Re:No Surprise... on Conservatives' Trust In Science Has Fallen Dramatically Since Mid-1970s · · Score: 1

    Dear fucking god.

  25. Re:?What would you do? on Iranian TV Shows Downed US Drone · · Score: 1

    Modulated microwave beam. Stick it on the side of a power station and just crank it up, if you've got military radar, you can do that.
