  1. Honestly, throttling when the network is overloaded is perfectly fine to me. It's throttling 24/7 once you pass a threshold that is a problem to me.

    Whether they should have some sort of access priority (if it's even technically available) when a First Responder etc is a different issue. This would likely be something only important during large-scale emergencies when networks get overloaded, though may not be technically practical, could be looked into.

  2. Additional Note: 1 patient ran away on Totally Drug-Resistant TB Emerges In India · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It was also mentioned on NPR that one of the patients with the drug-immune TB in India actually checked themselves out of the hospital and they can't find them.

    Here's to you our new "Patient Zero"

  3. He told them he was a soldier... on Video Games As Propaganda · · Score: 5, Informative

    They actually discussed this on NPR earlier. When applying to enter the country, he told them about his military history and asked if it would be ok. Telling Iran that you were formerly in the US army is not the kind of thing you would do if you were an actual spy.

    Not to say entering Iran and telling them you used to be in the military is a good idea.

  4. The proof is in the possibility on Google Accused of Interfering With South Korean FTC Investigation · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Google denies that its employees deleted documents or that it instructed them to work from home in order to impede the investigation."

    Only evil corporations have their employees work from home...

    And everyone knows the damning evidence wasn't there because they deleted it.

    If there were real consequences this might matter

  5. Re:Regenerate? on How Doctors Die · · Score: 4, Funny

    You're thinking of Doctor Who

    Sadly, Doctor Who was not a documentary. Despite him being referred to as "the doctor" he is not representative of other doctors

  6. What Twitter trending means on Inside Obama's Twitter Blitz On the Payroll Tax · · Score: 1

    I think it's worth mentioning that on twitter "trending" isn't just a measure of numbers. It's also a large part a measure of proportional increase. This means it's easier to get a trending topic on something that hasn't been talked about much before with a wierd hashtag.

    This is a blog discussing how a tag for a gaming tournament became a trending topic.

  7. Relevant to Career on India To Cut Out Animal Dissection · · Score: 2

    While I do believe that some careers should probably dissect animals (surgeons, veterinarians) I don't see the point in requiring this for everyone. I am just fine with my pharmacist not having cut open dead animals.

  8. Re:More people turning vegetarian? on IBM Tracks Pork Chops From Pig To Plate · · Score: 1

    While I agree with the first post, having a picture isn't quite the same as hearing its death-scream. Now if opening its package let out a recording of its death-squeal, that might turn some people off from pork... ...or just attract dogs.

  9. Now work can begin... on Earth's Core Made In Miniature · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...on our doomsday device to stop the earth's core from spinning.

    Small scale tests first before we build the full-size model.

  10. Re:Al Franken on Slashdot Asks: Whom Do You Want To Ask About 2012's U.S. Elections? · · Score: 1

    I would second this, but for the reason that I believe he is one of the few politicians that actually seem to follow what's going on in the world of computers and software

  11. Why make a new system... on Next-Gen Game Consoles Still Years Off · · Score: 1

    ...when you can add a stick / camera for more money?

    Personally, if I want to play tennis or go bowling, I go out and play tennis or go bowling

  12. Seems I have something in common with squid... on Deep-Sea Squid Mate and Run · · Score: 1

    ...I can't tell which are male or female either.

  13. Clarification on FCC To Test Opening White Spaces Up To Public · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think summary need to be clarified.

    The FCC is beginning a test Monday that will give public access to a database to be used to identify frequency bands available. This database will be used to determine what frequencies are available when the 'white spaces' go public.

  14. Victim herself shows it's psychological on "Wi-Fi Refugees" Shelter in West Virginia Mountains · · Score: 1

    It was most obvious at the end of the BBC article when she mentions how she could cause/cease the pain by turning the TV on and off....

    It doesn't take a genius to realize the TV doesn't *broadcast* EM waves...except for light. And if you're allergic to light...you have bigger things to worry about than cell phones.

  15. Cowboy Bebop reference on Paralyzed Patients Control Robot With Brain Waves · · Score: 1

    Sounds like episode 23 of Cowboy Bebop "Brain Scratch"

  16. Some Locations on Sports Bars Changing Channels For Video Gamers · · Score: 4, Informative

    For those interested in where this is actually happening, here's a forum thread which has locations (with map) and descriptions for a tournament this weekend
    Barcraft Thread
    Barcraft Location Map

    Some locations: Seattle WA, Toronto, San Diego CA, Washington DC, New York City, Portland OR, Tampa FL, Gainesville FL, Edmonton (Canada), Honolulu, Waterloo (Canada), Chicago, Boston, Dallas TX

  17. Spider man killed and replaced on Spiderman's Politically Correct Replacement · · Score: 1

    Am I the only that can't get the thought out of his head that the new spider-man was bitten by a radioactive spider-man?

    Otherwise he'd turn into a spider after all.

  18. Re:Nationwide broadband on WiFi 802.22 Can Cover 12,000 Square Miles · · Score: 1

    While I'm sure not that many people could go onto each tower, this could still be useful for getting broadband to areas where homes are very spread out.

  19. Law & Order on Tracking Bracelets for Autistic Kids and Senior Citizens · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a Law & Order episode with an autistic kid that had a tracking bracelet but took it off?

    While the idea of putting it on those willing with autism or alzheimer's, if it can be taken off the problem still exists

  20. Re:Ripped music on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Scrub Pirated Music From My Collection? · · Score: 2

    The method they *could* use to tell would be to take a hash of the file. When you rip the cd, you will get a different hash each time. With file sharing services most likely there are only 3 or 4 rips that are shared among thousands of people. Consequently, if you see someone with a copy of a particular song that has a hash of one of these commonly shared files, chances are miniscule that it isn't a pirated copy.

  21. Re:What motivation would apple have? on Might iCloud Be a Musical Honeypot? · · Score: 1

    It could be part of the agreement signed to get the music companies to agree to put their stuff up on it

  22. Talking about mining... on Man Mines Midtown New York Sidewalks · · Score: 3, Funny

    Who else thought this would be more along the lines of about land-mines or claymores? It would at least be a more interesting story...

    Also much like old-fashioned gold mining, once others start doing it he can't make as much money doing it anymore

  23. While this may become news, is it news yet? on Microsoft Blasts Google For False Claims In Court Documents · · Score: 1

    While I don't doubt that this story is worth mentioning if Google didn't have the certification and claimed it did, is it worth mentioning yet?

    While this may be what happened, even the author is vague about it. This seems like a Glenn Beck style story of "I'm not absolutely sure, but I heard "

  24. Alt Conclusion: Boredom causes depression on Facebook Boosts Your Self-Esteem · · Score: 2

    I think it's more probable that sitting there for 3 minutes and thinking about how you are wasting your life depresses people.

  25. Steve Jobs is obviously Catholic on Apple To Keep 30% of Magazine Subscription Revenue · · Score: 1

    After all, he only asks that you donate 30% of your income.

    This tithe is now mandatory however, and rather than costing your soul for refusal, it will only cost you your market presence.
