  1. In Before... on Oldest Submerged City Visualized With CGI · · Score: 0

    Someone suggests its Atlantis. Atlantis never existed. It was a rhetorical device.

  2. Step 1 on Airline Offering Plane Crash Survival Course to Frequent Flyers · · Score: 2

    Don't eat the fish.

  3. Ah Haskell on OCaml For the Masses · · Score: 1

    I remember using it during my uni times and finding it very cool.

    However it is less useful than Iteratative or OOP languages unless you NEED to use mathematics and recursion all the time, in which case its easier.

    I disagree, it'll always be a niche language which isn't for 'the masses'.

  4. Oh exploitable on News From Apple's iPhone Event · · Score: 1

    "The camera app is now accessible from the lock screen. Double-tap the home button and you can go directly to the camera app, no password or anything required."

    Hmmmm......

  5. Re:Just block the cookies. on Facebook Files For a Patent To Track Its Users On Other Sites · · Score: 1

    Solution 2:

    Get two browsers. Set one dedicated browser for facebook, block all cookies in primary.

    Problem solved.

    Solution 3:

    Set a rule using adblock/noscript (can't remember which it was) to disallow *.facebook.com cookies except on facebook.com

    Problem solved.

  6. Re:Don't "do facebook", anyone question... on Facebook Files For a Patent To Track Its Users On Other Sites · · Score: 1

    I think setting a whitelist would be more effective...

  7. Re:I gave up... on Facebook Files For a Patent To Track Its Users On Other Sites · · Score: 1

    Its probably much easier to perform plastic surgery and legally change your name..

  8. Re:List of ideas. on Ask Slashdot: How to Exploit Post-Cataract Ultraviolet Vision? · · Score: 1

    That would be awesome! In the long run your quarries would end up getting cancer though after you track them for long enough, so YMMV.

  9. Re:Start hunting? on Ask Slashdot: How to Exploit Post-Cataract Ultraviolet Vision? · · Score: 2

    UV vision would let you see semen stains more easily but I'm not sure if that's a superpower or not.

    A career in CSI, or pornography set-cleaner.

  10. Is there anything.. on Ask Slashdot: How to Exploit Post-Cataract Ultraviolet Vision? · · Score: 1

    Which naturally gives off UV which could make this power very useful? Aside from being able to see UV bulbs...

    I can't remember much from physics ... IR vision would have been much more cool and useful.

  11. Re:First step (or post) on Ask Slashdot: How to Exploit Post-Cataract Ultraviolet Vision? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ultraman

  12. Re:Costs. Windows is cheaper than Windows + Linux on Battle For Open Standards In Dutch Public Education · · Score: 2

    They should invent a language which all platforms can understand.

    We could call it HTML or something like that, but that's static, so we might need to invent something that makes it dynamic and still cross-platform-readable, like say php, asp.net, jsp,js...

  13. Re:Only one to protect yourself on AIDS Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    No, but you'll catch it and die, and that'll be the end of it.

    Unless you remarry, then there will be a few more people - but the amounts would be small enough that it won't matter - and anyway it'll be clear that HIV is picking out the family by then.

  14. Re:Only one to protect yourself on AIDS Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Hey if other 'more primitive' animals figured it out, it really can't be that hard.

  15. Re:Only one to protect yourself on AIDS Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Laugh all you like, but if people actually took that advice a few years ago we wouldn't have AIDS anymore.

    That and "Don't share needles".

  16. "Lawful" content on FCC Finalizes US Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    There you go, one giant gaping abuse-hole.

  17. Re:Saw that, want to leave now on Facebook Unveils Timeline, Updated Open Graph · · Score: 1

    When they sit still enough and stop reverting, changing position or being burried under more stuff...

  18. Re:Saw that, want to leave now on Facebook Unveils Timeline, Updated Open Graph · · Score: 2

    Is there ANYONE else who finds the idea of putting your whole life in plain view for the world to see a good idea?

    I mean before it was bad enough, "Everyone can see your pictures" bla bla bla, but this?

    Becoming a stalker just got easier.

  19. Myspace is back? on Facebook Unveils Timeline, Updated Open Graph · · Score: 2

    Does it come with auto-on 20 second clips of poor bitrated versions of favourite songs?

  20. Clearly on Pakistan Seeks To Block Facebook Again · · Score: 1

    Pakistan doesn't like the new Interface either.

  21. Surely... on Designer Creates "Euthanasia Roller Coaster" · · Score: 1

    The best euthanasia would be being trampled to death by a harem of attractive woman.

    Might need something work for women and people who don't like women; and its not as painless, but it'll be awesome.

  22. Re:Landlines coming on Samsung Plans To Block the iPhone 5 In Korea · · Score: 2

    A bunch of control circuits within a pocket universe?

  23. Hey... on Samsung Plans To Block the iPhone 5 In Korea · · Score: 1

    The only people to suffer are the consumers right...

    Who cares about those.

  24. Awesome Lightning on Stunning Time Lapse of the Earth From the ISS · · Score: 1

    Lightning looks really impressive from up there. Shame its not as good down here.

  25. Re:Employee empowerment on The Saga of the Virtual Wallet · · Score: 2

    While I do like that idea, its has some problems.

    There are thousands of patents which cover (say) Android. So this means that either google has to employ a thousand people who thought about the same idea, or employ one person who has all of them. Then if that person goes to Apple - Apple will now own Android. Smaller companies will be destroyed in this manner because now instead of paying lawyers, you can just buy employees. A small startup tries something? Buy one of the employees and crush them.

    Secondly, if I'm employed to say Google, who spends tons of money for me to invent it, why shouldn't they keep it?
