  3. Re:I predict ... PORN on Ghost Towns Is the First 8K Video Posted To YouTube -- But Can You Watch It? · · Score: 1

    To really get 8K video to become mainstream, the first 8K video should have been an incredibly detailed porn video.

  4. Re:Internet signals to all parts of the globe, on SpaceX Wants Permission To Test Satellite Internet · · Score: 1

    I doubt the USA organization FCC has jurisdiction anywhere but over the USA. Try shooting down a satellite over China and see what happens with your jurisdiction.

  5. Evolution as means of Creation on Freedom of Information Requests Turn Up Creationist Materials In Schools · · Score: 1

    Nothing prohibits God's use of evolution as a means of Creation. After all, scriptures say a day in heaven is like a thousand days on earth, so God could have used evolution to create mankind.

    Only the results are probably more accurate on the whole.

    Zip guns typically aren't accurate.

  7. Auto Darkening Windows on Ask Slashdot: If You Were Building a New Home, What Cool New Tech Would You Put In? · · Score: 1

    Electro-chromatic windows, so a push of a button (or automatic based on incoming light levels) would darken or turn windows into privacy mode. They are even working on a combination of PV-EC windows, such that the window would also act as a solar cell, powering the window itself without the need for running any wires.

    For my money, Mr. Obama. the NSA, et. al. scan take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.

    Now THAT is something America would like to see!

  10. Re:Snooping Programs a help on Obama Asks Congress To Renew 'Patriot Act' Snooping · · Score: 1

    The previous boogeyman, The War on Drugs, continues to be a huge waste of resources even today. The War on Terror is just the latest version of the timeless boogeyman.

    Rome. Oh wait, *without* a revolution! Nevermind.

  12. Re:They're your damned kids, your damned problem . on Leaked Document Shows Europe Would Fight UK Plans To Block Porn · · Score: 1

    I have kids and I agree with you. Teach your kids to adapt to the world, not try to force the rest of the world to adapt to brats who have an unrealistic perspective.

    Also, earmuffs!

  19. Re:Wasn't there an Apache helicopter simulator... on The World's Most Dangerous Driving Simulator · · Score: 1

    Pain avoidance is a great motivator; have the pilot seat equipped with electrodes, so failure results in a shocking result!

  23. Re:Not seeing the problem on Two Gunman Killed Outside "Draw the Prophet" Event In Texas · · Score: 1

    From this article, there was a previous pro-Islam event at the same site. The event site supports the freedom of both perspectives:

    "In January, the Culwell Center had been the scene of dueling protests during a pro-Muslim Stand With the Prophet in Honor and Respect event. Some protesters then called for peace and understanding, while anti-Muslim demonstrators argued that extremists’ beliefs threatened the U.S."

  25. Re:Well... on IBM CIO Thinks Agile Development Might Save Company · · Score: 1

    Maybe older, historical IBM products worked well and were stable, but all the products I've had the displeasure of using within the past few years were unstable and full of bugs. Often, their own consultants didn't even know how to fix the bugs, until multiple severity 1 tickets were issued to light a fire under them to encourage them to fix it. IBM generates the same amount of cold, spine-tingling horror that Amdocs used to. Seems like someone in upper management has a buddy at IBM, with all the times we've been burned and yet keep using their crappy products and over-priced consultants.
