  1. Re:First contact? on Arecibo Radio Telescope Confirms Extra-galactic Fast Radio Pulses · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Being extragalactic, if so they would likely be from a long dead civilization, but yeah. Also that would have to be one hell of an antenna.

  2. Re:He continues to show himself to be ... on Musk Will Open Up Tesla Supercharger Patents To Spur Development · · Score: 2

    I'd say it's pretty smart for shareholders if the tech takes off and he sees compatible fast charging stations nationwide. Imagine is one of the early car manufacturers had held on to the patent for the gasoline nozzle, we might all be riding trains for cross country trips.

  3. Copying the Bad Guys on Imparting Malware Resistance With a Randomizing Compiler · · Score: 3, Informative

    Some malware already does this, which definitely helps it evade heuristic scans. Sounds worth exploring, but i bet it will make the AV they force me to run at work that much more frustratingly restrictive.

  4. Re:Nice idea on NVIDIA Open Sources SHIELD's Operating System · · Score: 1

    Buy the chips from China. Make your own, and run your own tweaked version of their OS. Save $200.

  5. Use a land line on Ask Slashdot: How To Bypass Gov't Spying On Cellphones? · · Score: 1

    At least they need a warrant for that.

  6. Re:priorities... on Japan Planning Exascale Computer For 2020 · · Score: 1

    Yeah but the B2 won't be obsolete by the time it's built. :P

  7. Time to consider a new career on Richard Branson Plans Orbital Spaceships For Virgin Galactic · · Score: 2

    As a flight attendant.

  8. apply tags on Smartphone Used To Scan Data From Chip-Enabled Credit Cards · · Score: 1
  9. Re:I'm gonna say... on Some Windows XP Users Can't Afford To Upgrade · · Score: 2

    But my outlook plugins don't work anymore!!! This is unacceptable!

  10. Re:What word is translated "Pornography"? on EU To Vote On Proposal That Could Ban All Online Pornography · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I understand that it is a legal document that exists in several languages including english, i guess I'm just wondering if the EU definition of the term is any less nebulous that the US's "I know it when i see it."

  11. What word is translated "Pornography"? on EU To Vote On Proposal That Could Ban All Online Pornography · · Score: 2

    I doubt that it is erotic imagery or copy that they are banning.

  12. Re:Intercontinental? on Intercontinental Mind-Meld Unites Two Rats · · Score: 1

    So are their minds more or less connected than their continents?

  13. Prior Art? on Australian Federal Court Rules For Patent Over Breast Cancer Gene · · Score: 1

    Umm, isn't the cancer itself prior art? Anyone who developed the BRCA1 mutation could claim to have created it previously.

  14. This is just the beginning on UK ISP PlusNet Testing Carrier-Grade NAT Instead of IPv6 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Rather than doing this correctly, it will go like this. All "home" users will get CG-NAT. "Business" users will be allowed public IPs at a steep premium, and only when that possibility is completely exhausted, will IPv6 truly begin to be implemented. Hell, people might just use duct tape code and NAT subterfuge to drag this out another decade or two.

  15. Build your own on Who Would Actually Build an Ubuntu Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    Just like we used to with desktops. Then take them to our favorite carrier. I want a data only plan so I can do all my calls over VOIP. DIY mobile please.

  16. Now if only on Quad-Core Stick PC Runs Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Netflix supported Ubuntu.
