  1. Oh boy! on RoboCup 2013: Team Water Is Middle Size League World Champion · · Score: 1

    I can't wait to see what they do on the battlefield!

  2. Re:I go to a fair amount of movies on The Average Movie Theater Has Hundreds of Screens · · Score: 1

    Why can't people go just two fucking hours out of their day without talking?

    Or texting.

  3. Re:I go to a fair amount of movies on The Average Movie Theater Has Hundreds of Screens · · Score: 1

    Frankly I don't really give a shit ...

    Kind of says it all.

  4. Re:if someone threw my phone... on The Average Movie Theater Has Hundreds of Screens · · Score: 1

    We have that. We call those places, "Movie theaters". People need to learn manners.

    Well, good luck with that. A better idea would be to nail the offending device up on a wall outside the theater to impress upon the violators or would be violators, the need for courtesy in public places. You know, like your parents should have taught you.

  5. Re:No real solutions - and we're doing what? on Obama Reveals Climate Change Plan · · Score: 1

    >> the plan calls for the end of U.S. support for financing coal power plants in foreign countries

    We're doing what? And they wonder why taxpayers hate the federal government...

    How else do you push a failing, falling apart nuclear program? Do what Microsoft does, eliminate the alternatives that compete with "your plan" and then sit back.

    As"troll" as this may sound, it doesn't mean it's not true. For example, dump gold certificates to force the price of gold down and when the chicken littles sell, buy it up. Or, buy up all the ammunition you can with taxpayer money and return the bullets out the end of a barrel, or just smash them with tanks, just like in Czeckoslovakia.
    Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it and you're doomed.

  6. Re:Launch exploratory robots ASAP! on 3 Habitable-Zone Super-Earths Found Orbiting Nearby Star · · Score: 1

    I'd like to get more information about these worlds before I die. Also, I'd like to know if I would really get my own planet if I went "Full Mormon" so I can prepare accordingly.

    Are these "discoveries" a prelude to disclosure?

  8. Re:As I see it. on Surgeon Uses Google Glass and iPad To Capture Live Procedure and Stream It · · Score: 1

    The surgeon/hospital would've gotten permission from the patient first -- recording & sharing OR videos has been going on for decades in university teaching hospitals, and from experience, those places are *very* careful to ask permission for just about anything educational.

    You are correct on that, however the only papers I ever signed occurred just before they wheeled me into the OR, jacked up on whatever they give you before wheeling you into the OR. Believe me when I say reading and having cogent thoughts and asking questions about what I signed were not at the top of my todo list.

  9. As I see it. on Surgeon Uses Google Glass and iPad To Capture Live Procedure and Stream It · · Score: 0

    This is wrong in so many ways. Right to privacy and violation of the HIPPA laws comes to mind.

  10. Talk about black kettles on How I Got Fired From the Job I Invented · · Score: 0

    Big business and their Admiralty jurists have the temerity to decide who and what belongs to whom.

  11. Re:Why is it a sealed criminal complaint? on US Charges Edward Snowden With Espionage · · Score: 1

    Elliot Fisher foiled the plot on Wall Street, and look what they did to him!

  12. Too bad... on Lawmakers Try To Block Black Box Technology In Cars, DVR Tracking · · Score: 1

    Too bad nobody will be watching the payoffs to the CONgressMEN to look the other way and let be ratified.

  13. Re:Good for the economy. on Use Tor, Get Targeted By the NSA · · Score: 1

    Why does it matter if someone is a "us person"? Fuck off spying on me America.

    Bought dogs, bought dogs what you gonna do, when the truth comes out, there'll be a noose hangin' for you, bought dogs, bought dogs.

  14. Re:Killing Politicians on Proposed Rule Would Drastically Restrict Chimp Research · · Score: 1

    Conflicting goals means the guy who disagrees with you is evil?

    The cost of bribing a politician is very expensive and bribing a chimp, one banana. Priceless.

  15. Re:Of course. on Snowden Is Lying, Say House Intelligence Committee Leaders · · Score: 1

    Except they are not spying on terrorists they are spying on everyone.

    If you believe in the constitution, speaking English ( or American ), sovreignty of the individual or state over the federal government, believe that the currancy should be backed by precious metals, the bought dogs of government are criminals, that the FBI, CIA, NSA, federal reserve banksters as well as all the super-banksters should be brought to justice; then you, yes you, are a terrorist according to the NDAA.

  16. wow! on Volvo's Electric Roads Concept Points To Battery-Free EV Future · · Score: 1

    Holy shades of Nikola Tesla and his 1937 Packard.

  17. Re:What a great idea! on Prosecutors Push For Anti-Phone-Theft Kill Switches · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that with everything we've learned recently regarding the Government and phones, there's no way this could -possibly- be abused!

    How about a real kill switch, a few missing hands and faces, the message will be sent and understood. If it ain't yours, leave it alone.

  18. Re:Noisy isn't it. on Flying Bicycle Is Real, Takes First Flight · · Score: 1

    Seriously I think the greatest invention of the 21st C could be silent fans. That bike looks like great fun but the noise is a killer.

    Considering what the Wright brothers did at Kittyhawk, give it a couple of generations and I suppose it will go commercial unless it's tagged for national security and turned into a weapon.

  19. What is freedom? on Snowden's Big Truth: We Are All Less Free · · Score: 1

    Those that hunt Snowden and bring him to ground will always look over their own shoulders until they are brought to ground. The truth is like a seed, there are all sorts of ground to flourish in, or wither in. When it finally takes root, watch out.

  20. Einstein was right on Crowd-Funded Radio Beacon Will Message Aliens · · Score: 1

    Einstein was right, you can't solve problems at the same level in which they were created. The greatest transmitter is the human body. It can span time distance and dimensions. All you gotta do...is get on the same frequency. Everyone.

  21. Re:Kickstarter. on Ask Slashdot: With Grants Drying Up, How Is a Tech Non-Profit To Survive? · · Score: 1

    I simply meant that its obsolete for non-profits. Obviously, you're right its still working great for the lobbiests and lobbiers themselves.

    According to profiteers, non-profits were always obsolete.

  22. Re:umm... on Genomics Impact On US Economy Approaches $1 Trillion · · Score: 1

    So in other words this stuff really is overpriced?

    The real questions are; Who controls it and, profits from it and who benefits from it? Obviously not the owners of the genome, you know, you, me, and the others who acquired it the good old fashioned way.

    Lobbying is obsolete.

    Not if you're a politician, in fact it's very lucrative. All you gotta do is dump all the your voting constituents.

  24. Re:Never once do my fingers leave my hand. on NASA TESS Observatory Will Hunt For Alien Life On "Super-Earth" Exoplanets · · Score: 0

    science thus far has not found any creature with extraterrestrial genetic makeup on this planet, only native born ones

    Science has also made millions if not billions on cancer research without getting any nearer to a cure, that is accepted by the pharmaceutical industry and their rubber stamp FDA. Therefore your argument is invalid.

  25. Never once do my fingers leave my hand. on NASA TESS Observatory Will Hunt For Alien Life On "Super-Earth" Exoplanets · · Score: 1

    The misdirection of searching for alien life elsewhere precludes the assumption that alien life isn't here on planet Earth. And to close this circle of logic, if alien life exists elsewhere, why wouldn't it also exist here as well?
