  1. Did they check their math? on Tiny Black Holes Could Trigger Collapse of Universe—Except That They Don't · · Score: 3, Funny

    You have to divide by zero when working with black holes.

  2. Every month or two. on Ask Slashdot: How Often Do You Update Your OS? · · Score: 2

    First I update the VMs, if they survive then I update the main box. I'm running CentOS BTW.

  3. Re:Translation on Apple Watch Still Waiting On App Developers · · Score: 1

    You got that right.

  4. Re:Lies on What Will Happen When Cascadia Subduction Zone Slips · · Score: 1

    I wish my mod points hadn't expired, you deserve them all.

  5. You sure you have the right guy? on What Will Happen When Cascadia Subduction Zone Slips · · Score: 1

    I though that was Lemmy.

  6. Oh Spare Me Please. on Automakers Unwilling To Share Driver Data (Yet) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I really don't want any of this from them.
    Just stop this "It's for your own good" crap.

  7. Re:"The L0pht"? on White House Lures Mudge From Google To Launch Cyber UL · · Score: 1

    Yea, they were always a fun read. I understand why, but it's a shame they went mainstream.

  8. I screen every call. on 86.2 Million Phone Scam Calls Delivered Each Month In the US · · Score: 1

    Voice mail and/or a phone answering machine are my first lines of deference. Friends and family know how to get in touch ASAP if it's an emergency.

  9. Re:Follow the money. on Carnegie Mellon Struggles After Uber Poaches Top Robotics Researchers · · Score: 1

    Oh, I agree with you. But these days it's all about "Show me the money". There's plenty of blame to go around for this kind of thing modern ethics and integrity being what it is. **SIGH**

  10. Follow the money. on Carnegie Mellon Struggles After Uber Poaches Top Robotics Researchers · · Score: 2

    It is capitalism after all.

  11. For goodness sakes, it's AI. on Do Robots Need Behavioral 'Laws' For Interacting With Other Robots? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm sure they could work it out among themselves.

  12. Ya Think? on US Air Traffic Control System Is Riddled With Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1, Funny

    C'mon now.

  13. All the more reason... on Lenovo Allegedly Installing "Superfish" Proxy Adware On New Computers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...to wipe the box and install some other OS.

  14. Still not good enough. on FCC Officially Approves Change In the Definition of Broadband · · Score: 4, Funny

    The Swedes and South Koreans laugh at our puny attempts to catch up.

  15. Even if their wet? on Trains May Soon Come Equipped With Debris-Zapping Lasers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I would think that it'd take one heck of a laser to fry wet leaves on a train track. The whole thing sounds like a boondoggle to me.

  16. Then again, maybe it _is_ good news. on Study: HIV Becoming Less Deadly, Less Infectious · · Score: 4, Insightful

    From TFA: "Some virologists suggest the virus may eventually become "almost harmless" as it continues to evolve." Yes, I realize the the article says "Some" and "almost" but still I'd rather it be like dealing with a common cold than a full shutdown of my immune system.

  17. Have't looked at one at all. on Forbes Revisits the Surface Pro 3, Which May Face LG Competition · · Score: 2

    can this thing be hacked or are you locked in to the OS it comes with?

  18. Ok, so what's the new flavor of the moment? on Is Ruby On Rails Losing Steam? · · Score: 2

    Just wondering what the new darling programing language is.

  19. Hire the Russians hackers to prevent police action on After Silk Road 2.0 Shutdown, Rival Dark Net Markets Grow Quickly · · Score: 0

    All right, maybe they aren't Russian, I don't know. But why not try to find these uber-coders that you always hear about to do some pen testing of the Tor code? It's in their best interest to make sure Tor is as secure as possible.

  20. Re:The future of capitalism on After Silk Road 2.0 Bust, Eyes Turn To 'Untouchable' Decentralized Market · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't thing there's going to be any kind of fundamental change in capitalism. The only thing that's going to change is the method and who gets to benefit from it.

  21. The reverse is also true. on Chinese Hackers Mess With Texas By Attacking Fracking Firms · · Score: 2

    From the standpoint of trying to steal business secrets, that's something that everyone does on everyone else, even the US. You'd think by now most businesses would understand that connecting everything to the internet isn't necessarily a good idea.

  22. Re:Stop paying. on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Unresponsive Manufacturer Who Doesn't Fix Bugs? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Also, put the payment in an escrow account and let them know that's where the payment going. Once they fix the bug, they get the money.

  23. So Hypercard is coming back? on Building Apps In Swift With Storyboards · · Score: 1

    That would be cool.

  24. Please Stop. on The 2014 Ig Nobel Prizes Will Be Awarded Tonight · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm bored.

  25. Welcome to the Streisand effect. on Geneticists Decry Book On Race and Evolution · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I hadn't even heard about this book before now. Sales will probably triple each time they fuss about it.
