  1. Re:fecal transplants may be faster and more effect on In Search Of A Healthy Gut, One Man Turned To An Extreme DIY Fecal Transplant (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Imagine the backlash when all the obese people band together because their doctors told them to eat shit.

  2. The Prophet Eddie on Without Encryption, Everything Stops, Says Snowden (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    When/why/how did Snowden become the the prophet of everything security??? It's hiring a serial killer to run a branch of the military...

  3. ...thanks, Obama.

  4. Interesting read, but saying "science got it wrong" is a bit silly. Science is a system. If somebody performs a stud and writes a paper and then a media publication boils it down to a headline, they are the ones to blame.

  5. Re: That doesn't sound like it could ever be abuse on Google Developers Create API For Direct USB Access Via Web Pages (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Would you care to share a few of those (ab)use cases?

  6. Re:Well that would be refreshing on Clinton Campaign Chair: 'The American People Can Handle The Truth' On UFOs (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Except those are both similes. But on the bright side, you fail only at the classification of figures of speech.

  7. Abuse? on No Such Thing As 'Unlimited' Data (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    The one thing that I don't understand about the discourse regarding unlimited data is the use of the term abuse. How is it that the top users of unlimited data are considered abusers? Should they have purchased the tier that provides more than merely unlimited?

  8. Re:Welcome to Europe on The Chicago Suburb That's Trying To Kill the Car (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    actually, it has meaning

  9. Re:I liked the cartoon that read: on Ahmed Mohamed, His Clock, and the Curious Turn of Events · · Score: 2

    Your mOM is half a bOMb.

  10. Re:It's the base assumption that its invalid on Prosecutors Op-Ed: Phone Encryption Blocks Justice · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can store encrypted data in my safe. I can send encrypted data through the mail. I could keep encrypted data in my vehicle. What's your point?

  11. Dear Slashdot Readers on Does Using an AOL Email Address Suggest You're a Tech Dinosaur? · · Score: 5, Funny

    We here at dice plan to mine your data but it's an awful hassle to analyze said data. Please do that for us.

  12. Re:Bad summary on NASA Tests Microwave Space Drive · · Score: 0

    Christ

  13. 10% * 417 = ??? on Polio Causes Global Health Emergency · · Score: 0

    Seriously, what the hell? 417 cases of polio last year reported. This has to be on par with the number of motorcycle deaths due to flying mammals.

  14. Re:Help! Help! on Did the Ignition Key Just Die? · · Score: 0

    Works fine in any car I've ever driven. One cannot necessarily remove the key, but you quickly notice that the engine turns off and you lose power braking and power steering.

  15. Re:Gun nuts on "Smart" Gun Seller Gets the Wrong Kind of Online Attention · · Score: 0

    Nothing like a heartfelt sermon from somebody who has likely never seen a gun in their life.

  16. Re:I admire their spunk, but... on Operation Wants To Mine 10% of All New Bitcoins · · Score: 0

    How did you write such a long and seemingly well thought out response when you know so little about this subject? The mining is essentially the transaction log of all bitcoins. In addition to that being a beneficial side-effect, it's an extremely elegant solution to the problem of a centralized clearing house.

  17. Re:a nice whopper of an evil by Google on Apple and Google Face Salary-Fixing Lawsuit · · Score: 0

    Yea....but that's still blackmail (see illegal).

  18. Re:any sound in the world.... on Audi Gives Silent Electric Car Synthetic Sound · · Score: 0

    Deaf people can still 'feel' noise. Go to a concert sometime.

  19. Re:Call me when we have instant transfer of data on The First Universal Quantum Network · · Score: 0

    I'm constantly measuring my particle. Spin up is zero. Spin down is one. How is this any different than, say, Morse code? Observing spin does not destroy entanglement. Quantum entanglement appears to propagate at thousands of times the speed of light.

  20. Re:Call me when we have instant transfer of data on The First Universal Quantum Network · · Score: 0

    This comment is wrong. Imagine that the sender and receiver were sufficiently far apart, say a million light years. Quantum entanglement would allow them to have faster than light communication even if it was being "encrypted" and "decrypted" with a commodore 64.

  21. Re:Call me when we have instant transfer of data on The First Universal Quantum Network · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Uh, yes you can. Entanglement is order of magnitude faster than the speed of light. It has nothing to with light however. Experiments have been done to see how "fast" it is.

  22. Heisenberg Disagrees? on The First Universal Quantum Network · · Score: 2

    Doesn't the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle kind of say that when these machines are determining spins of particles, that they cause them to change? ie entropy?

  23. Re:laptop desktop for business? on Sergey Brin: Windows Is "Torturing Users" · · Score: 1

    I'm responding from an airport lounge after two weeks in a different country with no permanent office. I do this every three to four weeks. Any more questions?

    I was referring to the apples to oranges argument of desktops to laptops that this article seems to make. I understand that laptops are portable computers.

  24. laptop desktop for business? on Sergey Brin: Windows Is "Torturing Users" · · Score: 1

    Why would people need to move from Windows computers (presumably PCs) to Chrome laptops? Are there any good reasons why a business user would want to be using a laptop? I know I wouldn't.

  25. Re:Embrace the difference! on Urine Test For Autism · · Score: 1

    Do you really believe what you are saying? First of all, natural selection and human beings ain't what it used to be, bub. Do you think all the mental/physical disorders that we more or less ALLOW to exist are providing some sort of benefit to our race? Come on guy!
