  1. Computerphile's view: No. on Ask Slashdot: Could Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics Ensure Safe AI? (wikipedia.org) · · Score: 1
  2. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I use Firefox with the following add-ons: AdBlock (no whitelist), Better Privacy, Google Analytics Opt Out, HTTPS-Everywhere, Noscript, Privacy Badger and Self-Destructing Cookies.

  3. Not a very attractive option on A Versatile and Rugged MIDI Mini-Keyboard (Video) · · Score: 1

    You can get an LPK25 for 50 bucks. With people like Stromae and Collin Cunningham using the LPK25, this one is gonna have a hard time competing.

  4. Re:The problem with Quake live is... on Changing the Rules of a 15-Year-Old Game: Quake Live Update Causes Controversy · · Score: 1

    Spot-on. You'd have my mod points if I had any. I miss those days when you could host your own Q3A or UT server. Sad shift.

  5. Gonna miss Intel mobos on Ask Slashdot: Linux-Friendly Desktop x86 Motherboard Manufacturers? · · Score: 1

    So sad to hear Intel is going out of the mobo business. True, some were duds, but overall, my lappy's Intel and my desktop Intel have held out remarkably well over the years (they're both c.2008) and have accepted at least 3 iterations of Windows, 3 different Hackintosh versions and any Ubuntu since 8.10.

  6. Yesterday was also the 52nd anniversary of the launch of the Telstar-1, the world's first active telecom satellite, the world's first privately-ventured space-faring mission and first commercial payload into space. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/tec... PS: Does anybody else find it weird that Telstar and Death Star not only are phonetically similar, but look eerily so as well?

  7. Such an underrated article... on Canonical and China Announce Ubuntu Collaboration · · Score: 1

    ... and I'd rate every single comment higher than at the moment. Just saying.

  8. I doubt it. on Is the Era of Groundbreaking Science Over? · · Score: 1

    I doubt it because look at the achievements of people like Craig Venter. The importance of his work is still largely unrecognized, as suggested by the fact that he still hasn't received the Nobel prize (and I firmly believe he deserves it). It could be that the impact of their work is still too fresh to be assessed. There are still lots of groundbreaking scientific discoveries waiting out there, like room-temperature superconductors, the cure to cancer, teleportation, tractor beams... Maybe the question will be deemed silly in 50 years. Who knows?

  9. Freehand, Pagemaker and UltraPaint on What Early Software Was Influential Enough To Deserve Acclaim? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Aldus Freehand, Deneba UltraPaint and Aldus PageMaker. Oh the memories!

  10. 3D printer on Ask Slashdot: Gifts For a 90-Year-Old, Tech-Savvy Dad? · · Score: 1

    Get him a 3D printer... the kind with micrometer resolution...get him a Form1 at Kickstarter.

  11. I don't see it melting in your coronaries either. on Scientists Develop Chocolate That Won't Melt At High Temperatures · · Score: 1

    I wonder what a cardiologist's opinion on this would be?

  12. Re:Feature not Bug! on Scientists Develop Chocolate That Won't Melt At High Temperatures · · Score: 1

    Agreed... pocket temperature brings out flavors not present at room temperature.

  13. Re:SO WHAT ?!? on Hurricane Sandy Damages Space Shuttle Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Actually the article is interesting to those who work in the AEC industry. It's a classic example of what goes wrong when you don't account for EVERY variable and prepare contingency plans for events. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xox9BVSu7Ok

  14. Flawed on Brain Scans Show the Impact of Neglect On a Child's Brain Size · · Score: 1

    The article does not relate the scans to professor Shore, a 2-subject experiment is not statistically significant in this case and it relies on evidence flimsily linked to other findings. This looks like tabloid fodder.

  15. Big Science, Big Money on Start-Up Wants To Open Up Science Journals and Eliminate Paywalls · · Score: 1
  16. Seemples on Why Are We So Rude Online? · · Score: 1

    Nobody can punch you in the face on the internet.

  17. Motivation on Ask Slashdot: Best Incentives For IT Workers? · · Score: 5, Informative
  18. Artificial supply on Why American Internet Service Is Slow and Expensive · · Score: 0

    It's called "choke the market once you got it by the balls". Happens all the time in the 3rd world, believe me. Artificially restrict supply once your market is hooked on your product and they'll pay exorbitant sums for whatever you sell them.

  19. Fanboys, Slashdot and Reddit on Wozniak On the Samsung Patent Verdict · · Score: 0

    Funny. A couple days ago I was telling my BF I like /. better because there seem to be fewer fanboys than on Reddit. Can we not turn /. into Reddit, please?

  20. KUDOS, CmdrTaco! on Rob Malda (CmdrTaco) Joins the Washington Post · · Score: 1

    Don't let 'em tell you how to do things... they're hiring YOU to tell THEM how to do things!
