  1. Re: 23% of the company on Volkswagen Could Face $18 Billion Fine Over Emission-Cheating Software · · Score: 1

    They focus on emissions per gallon burned, not per mile traveled. I have yet to see a study which shows that this actually produces less pollution than the european standard Compared to the standards set by Fukashima, what pollution?

  2. Re: @Midnight on Crash Chrome With 16 Characters · · Score: 1

    Crash a Browser in 16 Characters
    Crash an Economy in 3 characters. FRN.

  3. Re: *Holds up hand...* on US Government's Pirate Movie Bootlegger Gets 24 Months Probation · · Score: 1

    How else do the ssn's go missing?

  4. Re: It is not what you did .... on US Government's Pirate Movie Bootlegger Gets 24 Months Probation · · Score: 1

    He works for the government. He should lose his job, his retirement and be banned from any further government employment or association. It's bad enough the politicos get away with their antics, but now the underlings are their cut as well? Oh, by the way, the same should happen to the politicos.

  5. Let me guess... on Sony Releasing New 1TB PlayStation 4 In July · · Score: 1

    PS 4,... in July, ...July 4th?

  6. Re: Commercialization of 'health' on Is the End of Government Acceptance of Homeopathy In Sight? · · Score: 0

    True, however, you do have a choice. The guttermint in its infinite wisdom/corruption would take that choice from you. Big Pharma wants your hard earned dollars to buy their FDA approved poisons (to be rescinded when enough people die or complain, whichever is greater in the shortest time). Also, who says that this is where they will stop? Does medical marijuana fall into this category? Does GMO medical marijuana fall outside this category? This is a slippery slope that will never end unless we stop it.

  7. Re: Might Title It "Spockumentary" on Adam Nimoy "For the Love of Spock" Documentary On KickStarter · · Score: 1

    A better title would be..."Spock You". To quote another dead ST alumnus, "He's dead, Jim".

  8. Re: Brings back memories on Toshiba Introduces a Cortana Keyboard Button For Windows 10 · · Score: 3

    It seems to be a physical feature to justify another MS upgrade that has yet to prove itself.

  9. Re: What is it you want again? on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Dumb Phone? · · Score: 1

    A pair of tin cans and some string would be better. No NSA eavesdropping and defininately no driving while cell phoning or texting.

  10. Re: WSJ is owned by NewsCorp now, right? on WSJ Crowdsources Investigation of Hillary Clinton Emails · · Score: 0

    I doubt it. The mainstream media liars spin everything, yeah you heard me, NSA. A better use of investigational crowd-sourcing of Hitlery Rotten Clinton would be on Whitewater and Benghazi. FTFY.

  11. Re: Meh... on California Votes To Ban Microbeads · · Score: 1

    Could they possibly be a politician?

  12. Re: RTFA on California Votes To Ban Microbeads · · Score: 1

    If you filter sewage with a medical centrifuge, is it still a "medical" centrifuge? All that sewage, you know.

  13. Re: *shrug* on 25 Years Today - Windows 3.0 · · Score: 1, Troll

    I still have Windows 1.0, in the box. The only thing missing is Bill Gates' autograph. I would never sell it. I am sure there are other drawbacks, but I am not a fan of the forced musical chair version upgrades. It would be nice to have a constantly upgraded version with real improvements. I was happy with XP, until I was forced into 95, then into Vista, then 7. Windows 8 sucks as will 10.

  14. Re: The banking industry will love this on How an Open Standard API Could Revolutionize Banking · · Score: 1

    Correct, they have their money AND ours. The only way to level the playing field is to nationalize the banks, END the FED, disassociate from the IMF and the World bank, and limit loan interest. GO BRICS!

  15. Re: Gamechanger on Tesla Announces Home Battery System · · Score: 2

    Combine with it a small wind generator, with additional batteries; and you might have something viable.

  16. Re: Reform will come on NSA Reform Bill Backed By Both Parties Set To Pass House of Representatives · · Score: 1

    More so when they're arrested, convicted for treason, and jailed for a really long time; along with their corporate dog buyers. Add to this, their ill-gotten millions which should be turned over to the people of these united States. I suggest the money go to clearing up the student loan debacle.

  17. Re: gosh on The United States Just Might Be Iran's Favorite New Nuclear Supplier · · Score: 1

    Considering the equipment supplies of the past, this too, will bite US in the ass. Russia controlled Afghanistan, Israel, Central and South America, Saudi Arabia, Africa (ie Benghazi, S. Africa and elsewhere). I personally see no good coming from this.

  18. Re: Wouldn't it make more sense... on Oculus Rift-Based System Brings True Immersion To Telepresence Robots · · Score: 1

    Using 6 fixed Oculi ? in all three axes, front, back; left, right; up, down; would possibly create a basic overlay for the primary, movable Oculus; so that any lag time would be shortened or eliminated.

  19. Re: English factory system on Australia To Grade Written Essays In National Exam With Cognitive Computing · · Score: 1

    The only critical thinking America wants is, whether you want to super-size that fries order.

  20. Why bother? on Tech Credited With Reducing Nigerian Election Death Toll · · Score: 1

    In Amerika, we just manipulate the count the bring the "perfect" candidate to office. That's, what technology can do.

  21. As if... on Bitcoin Is Disrupting the Argentine Economy · · Score: 1

    As if the FRN is completely innocent of economy busting. They did it in 1929, 2008 and there about to do it again. Go BRICS!

  22. Re: Both own half. on Who Owns Pre-Embryos? · · Score: 1

    Monsanto and Halliburton own them, Dickkk Cheney said so.

  23. Re:Really need to post information about the act on Patent Trolls On the Run But Not Vanquished Yet · · Score: 1

    Hey! I have a patent on running patent trolls. Cease and desist or my running patent trolls attorney will have you running along side the running patent trolls.

  24. Re:It's a nice sculpture, for sure on Researchers Create World's First 3D-Printed Jet Engines · · Score: 1

    Just think, the world's first 3-D printed jet crash debris field.
