  1. Re:Who benefits on Russia Prepares For Internet War Over Malaysian Jet · · Score: 1

    "Ukraine later said that they won't be able to operate them"

    Obviously they didn't. They shot anything that the missile was able to lock onto. Hence a civilian airplane was taken out.

  2. Re:If only... on Russia Prepares For Internet War Over Malaysian Jet · · Score: 1

    He isn't. Russia has laws about that and he is a law-abiding citizen!

  3. Re:US and UK "spreading the blame"?? on Russia Prepares For Internet War Over Malaysian Jet · · Score: 1

    Slashdot seems to be caught up in the same disinformation campaign it is warning about.

    Psychosis?

    The matter of fact remains simple no matter who is at fault for this incident. There should not be a war there. But there is and Russia is to blame because they started it when they lost their puppet government.

  4. Re:Wrong priority! on Russia Prepares For Internet War Over Malaysian Jet · · Score: 1

    Well, that's the only thing that he thinks he can do these days. Illegally I might add. Killing US Citizens abroad without due process seems to be his only jump-to-conclusion square.

    What he should worry about is how does something like this happen a day after he expanded economic sanctions. Some awful oligarch who doesn't feel he stole everything he could have from the Ukrainians is retaliating over it.

  5. Re:04.10.2010 on Russia Prepares For Internet War Over Malaysian Jet · · Score: 1

    Not to mention TWA 800 which included a massive government cover-up.

  6. Re:50MB = 750$ on AT&T Charges $750 For One Minute of International Data Roaming · · Score: 1

    For the US customers, T-mobile no longer charges extra for International Data Roaming. Which is amazing because I like to travel the world. Their 3G on Ko Phayam in Thailand was faster than any of the hotel WIFIs.

    I hope their merger with the Sprint scum won't affect that.

  7. Re:Not me on Americans Hate TV and Internet Providers More Than Other Industries · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Do you have any idea how incredibly inefficient walking is in terms of energy consumption?

    Factoring in how inefficient food production is, you are only getting about 40 mpg when walking.

  8. Re:50 GB?? on Wolfenstein: The New Order Launches · · Score: 1

    Battlefield 4 is 35 GB, and it was nice but the previews of Wolfenstein look a lot better.
    Still, the PS4 has about 400 GB available for game data, so it's not too much of a problem like it would have been on the PS3

    I wonder about the quality of the game on xbox one with its memory/bus bottlenecks.

  9. Re:Would they just put up with it for a key hire? on FBI Need Potheads To Fight Cybercrime · · Score: 1

    If you get recruited to Google because you're something special

    From what I understand, any corporation with government contracts is required to do employment piss tests.
    Totally intrusive and probably unconstitutional but the people who own this country piss on the constitution, whatever their piss contains, because no one tests them.

  10. Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming on Electric Stimulation Could Help You Control Your Dreams · · Score: 1

    This book is one of my favorites. Stephen LaBerge teaches techniques that work very well for me to become aware of dreaming.

    He also teaches how to use the skill for problem solving and creativity.

    One of the techniques for becoming aware is to ask yourself during the day if you are dreaming and look for dream signs, which makes you ask yourself that same question while dreaming and helps realize that you are dreaming, at which point you can do anything. I guess that is where the electric current comes in handy because you are not used to it during your waking hours so when you experience it, it makes you realize you must be asleep, which means you can be or do anything you could ever want.

    One of the coolest things for me is to fly to new strange cities.

  11. Re:if you want your day in court on Plaintiff In Tech Hiring Suit Asks Judge To Reject Settlement · · Score: 2

    Except, this is not about the money as much as about exposing the filthy disgusting shit these people do to keep people from earning what they are worth.

    And we should all wonder how that looks on the global scale. If they get away with this type of stuff in the US, image what they get away with in countries with extremely corrupt governments.

  12. Re:Your tax dollars hard at work on US Government To Study Bitcoin As Possible Terrorist Threat · · Score: 1

    Easy, send them outdated equipment of that retail value that can't be easily thrown in the trash.

  13. Yet again a convenience ruling on Supreme Court OKs Stop and Search Based On Anonymous 911 Tips · · Score: 1

    This is another ruling that is based on finding something that they think would give the victim (defendant) too much power, allowing him to skirt the law, and not based on true legality.

    It re-confirms that the justices are nothing more than senile elderly people who work with and for the enforcement industry and don't really care about upholding the constitution.

  14. If you have to ask ... on Ask Slashdot: Which NoSQL Database For New Project? · · Score: 2

    It means you don't have any big data requirements so you're better off sticking with MySQL or something easier to manage at a small scale.
    If growth is high or you have a lot of data to analyze, you can look into importing data into Hadoop using sqoop and query it with Hive and HBase. But you most likely won't need that for at least a couple of years.

  15. Fox already gives it to them on Creationists Demand Equal Airtime With 'Cosmos' · · Score: 1

    Creationism believers already get plenty of time on Fox. Unfortunately it's always the same audience that pays any attention to it.

    belief = gullible stupidity
    thinking = analytic intelligence

    I happen to find thought provoking shows a lot more interesting than any preaching, which I just either very funny or rage provoking.

  16. Re:Estate Taxes on Silicon Valley Billionaire Takes Out $201 Million Life Insurance Policy · · Score: 1

    So it's "protection" money?

    Seems to me like extortion by government and uncivilized people more than tax.

    Now if you said that the government has a right to the tax because the heirs earn it for practically not doing anything, then I would be on board with you.

    We definitely don't want to be in a feudal state.

  17. Landed on the beach on Malaysian Flight Disappearance 'Deliberate' · · Score: 1

    It landed on the beach of an island that keeps moving.
    The passengers are all busy pressing a button every day without knowing why.

    Not to mention that there is a Polar bear and a smoke monster on this tropical island, which would make rescue operations very difficult.

  18. Mr Roboto, radioactivato on How To Take Apart Fukushima's 3 Melted-Down Reactors · · Score: 1

    I for one look forward to our radioactive robot overlords.

    Seriously, if the Japanese are very good at something, it is finding a reason to build robots. Maybe the fallout will be better robots.

  19. Re:It's just a tool I guess on Doctors Say New Pain Pill Is "Genuinely Frightening" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No one wants to punish people for victim-less crimes. We just fall prey as a society for the giant enforcement and correction industry and can no longer differentiate between what is actual crime and what is a money-making scheme.

    Class extermination is the only true vice of the war on drugs. Which is why Meth has the worst reputation at the moment. Meth has brought lawlessness to predominantly white communities and turned them into drug-based ghettos. And heroin use increase in white communities is a result of controlled prescription drugs restrictions where people with real problems no longer have a safe venue to manage their pain or their addiction developed by improper administration of the pain pills turns them to the black market.

    Not once I was ever prescribed pain pills was I given a plan on how to safely come off of them. Once the pain went away, it's like I hit a wall at 40 miles an hour. Fortunately I was able to handle that but a lot of people can't and they end up unable to live a safe life.

  20. Annoy the neighbors on Americans To FCC Chair: No Cell Calls On Planes, Please · · Score: 1

    I like the announcement on the Tokyo bus to the city.
    "Do not use mobile phones as they annoy the neighbors"

    They also had seatbelts.

    So civilized....

  21. Oxygen only? on Revolutionary Scuba Mask Creates Breathable Oxygen Underwater On Its Own · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Breathing only oxygen is dangerous. Oxygen is toxic at high pressure.

    With the device described here you'd still need a tank with nitrogen or helium and then you're back to having a device similar to a rebreather where you have to carry and mix your own gasses, which is extremely dangerous and even experienced divers get killed by it.

    Now this technology is not completely useless and could enhance a rebreather by allowing more bottom time if it can be used to refill the oxygen tank or something on that line.

    Selling is not part of the mission? You forget to get lawmaker approval you have to generally play to the lowest common denominator.

    Yeah, but Ferrari doesn't make cars for Nascar circuits. Try flooring it on a very windy road.
