  1. Re:How old... on You Really Are What You Know · · Score: 1

    My point is, this is being touted as some fantastic new pioneering discovery...when, at this point in neurological research...this aspect simply is not.

  2. wat on You Really Are What You Know · · Score: 2

    This is old news and has been known by Neuroscience for a long time now...neurons move closer to other neurons based on how often certain movements and memories / thoughts are used so of course the makeup of your brain is going to be dependent on what you know and do on a consistent basis. There is nothing new about this discovery.

  3. A Guinness world record... on Judge Orders Hundreds of Websites Delisted From Search Engines, Social Networks · · Score: 1

    ...for legal ruling in the midst of ignorant and intellectual squalor on the matter, on behalf of the moronic judge at hand.

    Dear god somebody kill off or at least properly educate these senile corpses before they ruin things more than they already are with all this blatant stupid.

  4. Re:In the middle of the greatest deficit... on US Gives Raytheon $10.5M For 'Serious Games' · · Score: 1

    I completely understand you're point and appreciate you identifying the filament of my original joke...but I simply don't feel this kind of money, on this kind of training is a priority right now given what's currently going on.

  5. In the middle of the greatest deficit... on US Gives Raytheon $10.5M For 'Serious Games' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...it's good to see our government spending money on games.

  6. Re:They should hire a social media consultant with on Mexican Cartel Beheads Another Blogger · · Score: 1

    Mexico doesn't have any oil.

    Well stated my friend.

  7. Re:They should hire a social media consultant with on Mexican Cartel Beheads Another Blogger · · Score: 1

    Being a group comprised of Mexican Special Forces, politicians, judges, police, etc. with untold millions at their disposal, with no fear of leaving mass graves of hundreds of people (decapitated, tortured, etc), it seems that compromising a few ISP's or killing any outlet of information would not be difficult if they chose to focus on it. Nationally or internationally.

    I'm really confused as to why we didn't send the military (after asking the Mexican gov's permission of course) over there when this shit first starting going on and bomb them to shit like we've done with every other 'terrorist' group that 's fit your above description. They're right next door, and a much larger threat than the middle east far as I'm concerned. I mean, if there's never been a better time for "America World Police" to step in and just tear a new asshole than now...don't you think?

    It's difficult for me to accept that a few Arabs in the middle eastern desert who like to blow themselves up in cafe's in their own country for a religious cause are more of a national security risk to America, than a Mexican drug cartel right next door, that is fucking beheading people and leaving them in the public view / destroying entire towns in gunfights and all-out wars

  8. ...this is on Cringely's Lost Jobs Interview: Coming To a Theater Near You · · Score: 0

    kind of disgusting. It's almost like watching the world economically raping his dead corpse for everything that it can.

  9. Re:This is Slashdot . . . on Siemens To Exit Nuclear Power Business · · Score: 1

    There has been two truly serious (someone gets hurt) accidents in the 60-year history of nuclear power: Chernobyl and Fukushima. Chernobyl killed 31 people; Fukushima has yet to kill anyone. Both were caused by a combination of corruption and exceptional circumstances. Contrast this with the 100,000 people who die yearly as a result of coal power working exactly as it's designed to: nuclear power wins hands down on pretty much every metric, even if we count the evacuees of Chernobyl and Fukushima as casualties.

    While I understand your point here...the potential damage, and type of damage ('genetic' damage being my focus in the case of nuclear power, which affects future generations of all species involved for a VERY long time) that can take place from nuclear power accidents / fuck ups is far more severe than that which is caused by conventional energy production accidents. We can't just 'ignore' this and say 'build more nuclear power plants because statistically they've done less damage so far'.

  10. This is worse... on Microsoft 'Ribbonizes' Windows 8 File Manager · · Score: 1

    than a terrible idea could ever possibly be. This whole retarded change in interface in the name of 'innovation' in my mind, is analogous to how Bob Rock wanted to do something 'different' with the St. Anger album by Metallica. Producing a well formed, hard turd in a toilet.

  11. This is the worst thing ever on Google Street View Gets Israeli Government's Nod · · Score: 1

    Hell, they might as well put Google street-view cars in Tripoli or Iraq while they're at it; perfect targets for western homogenization hating RPG practice.

    I'm all about like, pioneering the way forward, but this seems a little brazen for Google given the political climate and constant, you know...rocket fire between Israel and Palestine...but, what do I know...I'm just a humble developer.

  12. I am an american... on DHS Creating Database of Secret Watchlists · · Score: 2

    ...and I live abroad for a large portion of the year. Whenever I come home, I make it a point, to enter the country illegally because of this absolute rubbish. The government, can kiss my American ass, I often hope to be arrested or apprehended by immigration so I can whip out my American passport and be like 'Fuck Off'. To be honest folks, at this point...only protesting and more protesting and more protesting is going to make this nonsense stop.

    Sitting here and talking about it, and writing blogs isn't going to do anything; throw your bodies onto the machine so the gears can't move.

  13. Re:Infinite Military Money on DARPA Commits To Funding Useful Hacking Projects · · Score: 1

    This is why the citizens of any democracy should be on guard, demanding answers from their representatives about spending etc. to ensure that such things do not happen. This is indirect war profiteering in it's finest form.

  14. Taxpayers money hard at work on Army Gives Robo Jeeps a Go · · Score: 1

    I have a problem with seeing things like this, in the midst of the largest deficit ever, and two wars that make Vietnam look like a high school baking class.

    Cut funding for these bullshit wars, and let companies like GOOGLE develop this technology on and for use on American soil.

  15. state boundary on Mug-Shot Industry Digs Up Your Past, Charges You To Bury It · · Score: 1

    I am of the understanding that arrest record information within a state, is only to be made available to those within the state. Currently I'm in an entirely different country and I can view arrest information for individuals in the Florida area...isn't this illegal?

  16. Re:Internet? SCADA systems are what matters on Internet Kill Switch Back On the US Legislative Agenda · · Score: 1

    Why in the WORLD are such system controls available via the internet to begin with!?

  17. Isn't the Internet designed inherently to adjust.. on Internet Kill Switch Back On the US Legislative Agenda · · Score: 1

    ...I thought this was the very purpose of the internet; to be able to automatically adjust and stay up, despite physical / network based attacks? Why is this legislation necessary in the least?
