  1. Re:Israel Civil Force on Adam Lanza Destroyed His Computer Before Rampage · · Score: 1

    But they are at perpetual war and have the real and constant threat of people bombing said locations.

  2. Re:For how long though? on Battery-Powered Transmitter Could Crash A City's 4G Network · · Score: 1

    There are special issue government sim cards and phone numbers that get top priority and skip the cell queue. So even if the tower is "jammed" by people calling, those phones get priority and still get through. So important communication still happens.

    But by jamming the tower, none of that works.

  3. The catch? on Salt Lake City Police To Wear Camera Glasses · · Score: 1

    So whats the catch? Does it still count as "evidence" in court? Can a defendant use the footage against the police?

  4. Re:Is it really economical? on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Become a Rural ISP? · · Score: 1

    But how will he lose his customers if there is no competition? They may get pissed, but he'll still be the only option.

  5. Cyberdyne created HAL. on New HAL Exoskeleton: A Brain-Controlled Full Body Suit To Be Used In Fukushima · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, this will end well.

  6. Re:Anyone at home on Harvard Software 3D Prints Articulated Action Figures · · Score: 1

    Depends on the print resolution. The higher the resolution, the higher the printer price. Low resolution designs like MakerBot are cheap, and can be bought/built by almost anyone.

    Also, with hackerspaces popping up all over the place, many people gain access to expensive tools like high end printers.
    So you could design at home, and then go print it out. Like how we used Kinkos in the 90's.

  7. Re:Vaccine on Ebola Outbreak Kills 13 In Uganda · · Score: 5, Informative

    80% survival for mice.

    TFA: He said the next step is to try the vaccine on a strain of Ebola that is closer to the one that infects humans.

  8. Re:Travel Bureau on Ebola Outbreak Kills 13 In Uganda · · Score: -1

    A mediocre attempt at best. You had a good first line that pulls the reader in, and your second line has a good start. But you fail starting at about 5 words in.

    3/10

  9. Re:"Safes" are mostly a placebo. on How a 3-Year-Old Can Open a Gun Safe · · Score: 1

    Anymore, safes are more for fire and disaster instead of security.

  10. To infinity.... on NASA's First New Spacesuit In 20 Years Is Its Own Airlock · · Score: 5, Funny

    and beyond!

  11. Not the same. on Kids Still Playing Pokemon Like It's 1999 · · Score: 2

    My 1st edition Charizard card is never going to be worth anywhere near the $150 it used to be worth...

  12. Just a label. on Trying to Untangle Anarchist Attacks On Scientists · · Score: 1, Troll

    "Anarchist" is just a catch all label for a whole range of people. Lets not forget all the Christians, Jews, and Muslims that don't agree with some kind of tech/science and protest/legislate against it.

  13. Solar Events? on Ask Dr. Ramsey Faragher About Navigation/Positioning Technology · · Score: 1

    How will the system function during/after a major solar event? Assuming a worst case scenario, satellites in orbit could be disabled for good. And depending on the severity, transmitters on earth may be affected as well.

    Your thoughts?

  14. Re:Wow is this a job interview? on Ask Dr. Ramsey Faragher About Navigation/Positioning Technology · · Score: 1

    It never hurts to show the higher-ups that you're worth a few more 0's a year.

  15. Re:General observation on Fires Sparked By Utah Target Shooters Prompt Evacuations · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Bastard! Beat me to it by 2 minutes.

  16. Re:Fall, really? on U.S. Gas Prices Continue To Fall · · Score: 1

    Well, starting an invasion in the Middle East is certainly not going to lower gas prices...

  17. Re:Scummy yet brilliant. on US Warns Users of Child-Porn Blackmail Ransomware · · Score: 1
  18. Re:Scummy yet brilliant. on US Warns Users of Child-Porn Blackmail Ransomware · · Score: 1

    What are you trying to imply?

  19. Scummy yet brilliant. on US Warns Users of Child-Porn Blackmail Ransomware · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Its not like you can call the police and complain about it. You'll instantly get labeled as a pedo and have your kids taken away.

  20. Re:Do they realise... on 'Eco-Anarchists' Targeting Nuclear and Nanotech Workers · · Score: 0

    They arent like those radical religious zealots that hate all science. They just hate nuclear and nanotech. Two very specific branches of science.

  21. Re:The Winter of our Disconnect on Germany Sets New Solar Power Record · · Score: 1

    They decided killing everyone was not the way to global dominance. So they bankrupted everyone and are now just buying them out.

  22. Re:Step 2: Walk into a store on Ask Slashdot: How To Shop For a Laptop? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Fuckery like that is so few stores sell laptops/electronics anymore.

  23. Re:Not all torrent traffic is illegal on BitTorrent Traffic Falls In the U.S. · · Score: 1

    They might have to put some more effort into boxes again, instead of forcing the customers to do product delivery for them.

  24. Re:New Spectrum - New Terms on American Cellular Companies Clamor For Fresh Spectrum · · Score: 1

    Who do you think paid for the people who got elected to those positions?

  25. Re:Not that pricey on Open Source Driver For Microsoft Surface 2.0 · · Score: 1

    No, its just that's how I've always seen it abbreviated on /.
