  1. Ingestion? on Amazon Job Posting Hints At New VR Platform (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they plan to pioneer edible VR headsets.

  2. Lazy Apple employees on Google Paid $1 Billion To Keep Search On iPhone (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    When Apple was looking for a search partner they should have done more than just Google it.

  3. Only 40 pounds! on Self-Driving Delivery Robots To Hit Sidewalks of London In 2016 (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    So cheap! That's about 61 US dollars at the moment!

  4. Mystery on The Mystery of Acupuncture Partly Explained In Rat Study · · Score: 0

    The main mystery is how acupuncture is anything other than a historical footnote.

  5. Is it real? on Paralyzed Man Hits the Streets of NYC In a New Exoskeleton · · Score: 1

    The article has Woo written all over it.

  6. The solution... on NYC Asks Google Maps For Fewer Left Turns · · Score: 4, Funny

    Switch to driving on the left.

  7. Brain-controlled? on After a Year of Secret Field-Testing, Brain-Controlled Bionic Legs Are Here · · Score: 1

    It's not direct brain-control, i.e. reading brain signals. Myoelectric control measures the electrical activity of muscles, which are in turn controlled by your brain.

  8. "Existing" users on FreeNAS 9.3 Released · · Score: 1

    Users of 9.2.x and 9.3 beta who don't exist don't need to upgrade.

  9. Re:universe-altering information? on LHC Data Generation Expected To Scale Up To 400PB a Year · · Score: 1

    Changing our understanding changes our brains, which are part of the universe. Then the knowledge in those brains can be used to change the universe.

  10. Nexus 6 on Google Announces Motorola-Made Nexus 6 and HTC-Made Nexus 9 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I though Tyrell made the Nexus 6?

  11. Nature got there first on First Birth From Human Womb Transplant · · Score: 2

    Other people's wombs have been used before, though not deliberately: They were using their own twin's womb because they were a chimera. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...

  12. Litmus test? on What To Expect With Windows 9 · · Score: 1

    Why does it matter whether Windows 9 will be acidic or alkaline?

  13. Re:Hope So on Would Scottish Independence Mean the End of UK's Nuclear Arsenal? · · Score: -1, Troll

    I hope it does mean the end of the weapons of mass destruction we have north of Glasgow, removing Trident is one of the major reasons for voting yes to independence next month.

    This is nuclear NIMBYism. If you are worried about the base itself being a target for a nuclear or terrorist strike, such an event would affect the whole world anyway, not just Glasgow.

  14. Re:No. It would not. on Would Scottish Independence Mean the End of UK's Nuclear Arsenal? · · Score: 2

    They would just move it to England. Or Wales.

    This might be the least intelligent question I've seen on Slashdot.

    Perhaps you should RTFA; an alternative that is discussed is to move the system to the USA.

  15. Re:Alternative strategy: on German NSA Committee May Turn To Typewriters To Stop Leaks · · Score: 2

    Acoustic keyloggers (http://www.keylogger101.com/acoustic-keyloggers/) could be used to detect which typewriter keys are being pressed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_logging).

  16. Re:In other words on Britain Gets National .uk Web Address · · Score: 2

    They're "obliged", not "obligated". Much obligated for the opportunity to point this out.

  17. Re:I'd use it... on Google Launches Voice Search Hotword Extension For Chrome · · Score: 1

    Scotland in the UK. Where your scotch comes from, pal.

  18. Re:I'd use it... on Google Launches Voice Search Hotword Extension For Chrome · · Score: 1

    It works with a West of Scotland accent spoken at full speed, though I've only tested it in a fairly quiet environment. That is impressive!

  19. Re:Officializes??? on Apple Officializes Purchase of Motion-Sensor Firm PrimeSense · · Score: 2

    They clearly meant "officificates".

  20. Benji, Zax and the Alien Prince on Dogs Love Robots, Prefer Humans · · Score: 1

    First thing that came to mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNGH5Omg4-8

  21. "Geologic"? on NASA Launches Second Robot Challenge · · Score: -1

    Geez, is it really that much harder to type or say "geological"?

  22. Re:Now that is a kickass hack! on Canon DSLR Hack Allows It To Shoot RAW Video · · Score: 1

    The cores were not all necessarily crippled just to meet a price point. It's to do with the yields in the wafer fabrication process. The CPUs go through a test phase during their manufacture, and some of the cores in the quad core processors will have imperfections. Rather than throw them out, they instead shut down those cores and pass the die off as a CPU with a lower number of cores.

  23. Re:glitz vs Quality on Animation Sophistication: The Croods Required 80 Million Compute Hours · · Score: 2

    Modern animated movies don't all consist of clichés, double entendres and wise-cracking sidekicks, nor even have much swish CGI. I am, of course, talking about Studio Ghibli.

  24. "Existing" bulbs on Fireflies Bring Us Brighter LEDs · · Score: 1

    "over 50 percent more light out of existing LED bulbs"
    This is far easier than getting 50 percent more light out of LED bulbs that don't exist.

  25. Re:America, land of the "free". on Leave a Message, Go To Jail · · Score: 1

    Simple solution: Stop speeding in your bedroom.
