  1. Re:It is even worst. on How Do You Spot a Genius? · · Score: 1

    You had a rough life, didn't you?

  2. Re:This article doesnt cover the full spectrum on How Do You Spot a Genius? · · Score: 1

    ...and what those guys pulled of doesn't require genius, just a complete lack of morality.

  3. Two criteria: on How Do You Spot a Genius? · · Score: 1

    1. Look like a dweeb
    2. Have a super hot girlfriend

  4. Is this the latest Fox and Friends conspiracy? on TSA Moving X-ray Body Scanners To Smaller Airports · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Obamanation is moving TSA scanners to affect the election? Haven't seen the morning show recently to get my monthly dose of crazy.

  5. I'm sure there'll be a class-action lawsuit on Verizon Draws Fire For Monitoring App Usage, Browsing Habits · · Score: 1

    Rather than ignoring the postcards that guarantee me a whopping $10 in the settlement, I might actually file my own claim just to be a jerk. I'm big on privacy and if this is true, I wouldn't be unhappy to see them run into the ground for this.

  6. National 3rd party candidacies are naive on Democracy Now Asks Third Party Candidates Questions From Last Night's Debate · · Score: 1

    The way to change things is to join up with either of the two parties that closest matches your ideology and work to influence policy within. What they're doing makes them look really silly; like the little kids table at Thanksgiving.

  7. Re:Gary Johnson = Libertarian candidate on Democracy Now Asks Third Party Candidates Questions From Last Night's Debate · · Score: 1

    Conservative: Why do you keep using that word? I do not think it means what you think it means.

  8. You might think Obama's proposals suck on US Presidential Debate #2 Tonight: Discuss Here · · Score: 1

    ...but at least he's being honest about what he wants to do.

  9. avsforum had a good essay on this on FCC To Allow Cable Companies To Encrypt Over-the-Air Channels · · Score: 1

    The service providers are slowing building in an end-to-end encrypted system for content so you'll have zero unrented access to media. HDMI is part of the solution; eventually cable boxes will stop providing analog outputs.

  10. I'm launching my own bio chip start up on Making Biodegradable Computer Chips Out of Spider Silk · · Score: 1

    I'm calling it Goblin Chips. The marketing battles among the skyscrapers of New York City will be EPIC!

  11. Re:Probbably not the first on Chuck Yeager Re-Enacts the Historic Flight That Broke the Sound Barrier · · Score: 2

    The Wiki makes it sound VERY debatable. There's been an issue with air speed indicators showing false readings as you approach the sound barrier. I've heard stories of prop plane pilots thinking they broke the sound barrier in that era (which is supposed to be impossible).

  12. Re:Forget 0-60 time, give me range on Tesla Motors Getting $10 Million From California For Model X Production · · Score: 1

    They use it because it's about the only thing competitive with a combustion car.

  13. Being from South Carolina on S. Carolina Supreme Court: Leaving Email In the Cloud Isn't Electronic Storage · · Score: 1

    You might want to take a few hours to explain what "cloud" means in this context.

  14. How can big companies fail so hard on The Story of Nokia MeeGo · · Score: 2

    You have to figure they're recruiting the best of the best, yet some of them manage epic F-ups. I can't imagine there weren't howls of disapproval from at least a few people in that organization.

  15. Re:Dissent amongst thieves? on WikiLeaks Losing Support From Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Wikileaks got hammered by the government pressuring any businesses providing infrastructure. If your service providers and your financiers are willing to cave in, there's not much you can do *regardless*. Wikileaks isn't some guy in a basement FTPing PDFs.

  16. Re:FDR debated Romney best in 1936 on US Election's Only VP Debate Tonight: Weigh In With Your Reactions · · Score: 1

    Even Romney's supporters should want details on his plans. His entire campaign is summarized by that FDR quote. It should be a HUGE red flag when every individual in a campaign is refusing to flesh out the tax plan; probably because Romney painted himself into a corner by denying Obama's $5 Trillion charge in the 1st debate.

  17. If I'm wearing a 60 lb exoskeleton on New NASA Robot Could Help Paraplegics Walk · · Score: 1

    I'm demanding a missile launcher and a flame thrower attachment.

  18. Re:Haha on Seafood Raised on Animal Feces Approved for Consumers · · Score: 1

    Actually, yes they ARE forced to. When we deregulated and went Free Trade that meant that even companies that *want* to keep their manufacturing in the US are at an economic disadvantage. A friend of mine works for a local office furniture manufacturer that found itself in this same predicament.

  19. Re:Ryan never said anything, BUT.... on US Election's Only VP Debate Tonight: Weigh In With Your Reactions · · Score: 1

    That's how they plan on getting elected. Didn't you watch the interview (Meet the Press?) where he didn't want to bore us with the details of their tax plan. Just trust us, we're going to do all the good stuff with none of the bad stuff...

  20. Re:Name Your Poison on US Election's Only VP Debate Tonight: Weigh In With Your Reactions · · Score: 1

    The military in this country is basically indoctrinated to be conservative and I know this as I grew up an army brat; born and raised to adulthood. This nationalistic chest thumping is quite popular on the other side of the fence. And if you don't chest thump just as hard as they do, that makes you a homosexual, peace loving, coward with no comprehension of the evils our country is threatened by. You only need to listen to a few of the radio extremists to understand what I mean.

    Now, the old conservative party was more isolationist because wars cost money.

  21. Re:Tax plan-- please explain it to me. on US Election's Only VP Debate Tonight: Weigh In With Your Reactions · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's simple Milton Friedmann economics inspired by Ayn Rand. You cut taxes on the wealthy and corporations, and that magically fuels the economy. Never mind that it's got a proven track record of failing everywhere it's been used (read up on the WTO's Friedmann-conditioned loans to third-world countries).

    It's an idealistic vision for how economies work that is very appealing to people with money or people who think they're going to be rich one day. In reality, in really bad economic times the rich just sit on their bank rolls and wait for things to get better because they can afford to. If the economy runs out of bargain hunters as capital dries up, you end up in a feedback loop as the economy spirals downward. Hence, trillions in government stimulus spending.

  22. Chinese regulators are like Honey Badger on Seafood Raised on Animal Feces Approved for Consumers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They don't give a fuck. Why do you think all their shit (accidental pun) is so cheap? Whatever it takes to squeeze a nickel even if it means killing some workers or customers.

  23. Been looking for years... on Where Has All the Xenon Gone? · · Score: 1

    ...But, I still don't Xenon.

  24. People, shut up and get past the summary TITLE! on Mathematicians Extend Einstein's Special Relativity Beyond Speed of Light · · Score: 1

    'The actual business of going through the speed of light is not defined,'

    The SUMMARY...never mind the ARTICLE!!!! explains that this is a thought exercise about the > c universe. No need to share your high school physics-level knowledge about approaching the speed of light. This is SlashDot. WE KNOW!!!

  25. Re:What "right" really means on Is Mobile Broadband a Luxury Or a Human Right? · · Score: 1

    I'm basing what I'm saying on a textbook and academic terminology. What's your basis?
