  1. Re:Skynet on US Navy Funds 'MacGyver' Robot · · Score: 1

    Then it will make a gun from a gum wrapper, an office pen, and an air compressor. God help us.

    Don't forget the dental floss and six feet of Prima-Cord. It is for the military after all.

  2. It's too bad... on Regulators Smash Global Phone Tech Support Scam Operation · · Score: 1

    It's too bad these "regulators" haven't smashed the banksters financial scam of fiat (ie. worthless) currency. $3 ttttrillion (and counting) in taxpayer losses and not one person in prison.

  3. Re:So... I read the article. on Bruce Perens: The Day I Blundered Into the Nuclear Facility · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is that it?

    "The real question is..."What kind of spin doctor excuse covers this lapse of security?"
    Answer: The same kind of bullshit that comes out of the nuclear industry when caught with their pants down. Nuclear is Unclear.

  4. Re:Must past this test on California Legalizes Self Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    No that question is; Is the car a better driver than me when I am sleep deprived, upset at my wife and in a hurry to get home?

    The computer will always drive the same, humans are not the reliable.

    The real question is... how soon will the proximity detonator be developed?

  5. Re:Sounds like defeat on Appeals Court Caves To TSA Over Nude Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    Governing is a privilege, not a right. The government needs to abide by the rules of the road as set forth by the Constitution, or find another way to accomplish their ends. It's really that simple. Quit making excuses and just do it.

    This is the result of dispensing with the thirteenth amendment in 1812. It was not voted out of existence, but forcibly removed by a foreign invader. Happy Anniversary, you corporate toad-lickers.

  6. Re:Intel already realized where their market is on Intel Details Power Management Advancements in Haswell · · Score: 1

    Contrary to other markets the mobile devices market is basically computer architecture agnostic. Since Intel cannot or do not want to manufacture CPUs cheaper than ARM licensees plus they still have lousy performance/watt their only remaining market is something which takes advantage of the vast catalog of pre-existing software for the x86 architecture namely Windows. I have little doubts Intel will eventually succeed to build a cheaper x86 CPU with better performance/watt than ARM given their manufacturing prowess and increasingly high amounts of integration they are providing. But it may take another processor generation or two.

  9. Re:Don't worry, cube drones! on How Sensors and Software Turn Farms Into Data Mines · · Score: 1

    The fact that business intelligence tools are also well suited to monitoring dumb animals dedicated to a life of exploitation and eventual slaughter is just one of those crazy coincidences, and has no deeper implications.

    Hmmm, how long will it take to go from business intelligence tools to intelligence tools used against a population? Are sheeple dumb animals?

  10. Re:What did I tell you? on Warp Drive Might Be Less Impossible Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    There are no proofs that it's impossible to create a warp drive without exotic matter. It's just that we know several configurations of exotic matter that can produce warp drives.

    Platonic solid geometry and Cermet. The only exotic matter necessary is the human brain, well of course, a little imagination goes a long way.

    If you fill it with beer, it is a schooner!

    If you fill it with doubloons, it's a Pirate ship and we use ARSCII.

  14. Dry? on Despite Clay Minerals, Early Mars Might Have Been Dry · · Score: 1

    A couple of distilleries and half a dozen microbreweries should end that dry spell.

  16. Re:gov waste... on NASA Working on Mars Menu · · Score: 1

    Our economy is in the shitter and we're spending money building a menu for Mars?

    Do we have a launch vehicle?

    Do we have a lunch vehicle

    A habitat plan?

    We'll use Katrina trailers.

    And I thought NASA didn't have enough money to support core missions.

    And you thought wrong, the real space program won't be seen by the ordinary people. To believe that rocket fuels both solid and liquid, are the way to go, shows just how far the dumbing-down of the American people has succeeded. Critical thinking skills are basically non-existent.Believing incidences from the past have no relevancy today offers case after case of evidence to the contrary. 9/11, 7/7, Challenger accident, Columbia, Katrina as well as all the political crap, with nothing done as the order of business, demonstrates the gullibility of the general population.

    As for the first question, more money is squandered in war, political cover-ups, crooked business dealings, government backing of Wallstreet gambling debts, with tax payer funding, Enron, the Banksters and yet, nobody in jail, makes NASA funding picayune.
