  1. Re:Preaches to the Choir on Advertising May Soon Follow You From One Device To the Next · · Score: 1

    P.S.

    As a matter of fact one company that does this type of marketing is literally across the street from the aforementioned university ( you know who you are ).

  2. Preaches to the Choir on Advertising May Soon Follow You From One Device To the Next · · Score: 1

    In current implementations of the scheme many of the ads I see on webpages using this type of system are to products and services I have already purchased.

    A good example is when I log into my student account at my local university and I then get start getting inundated with ads about what a cutting-edge school it is.

    Not quite as clever as it seems.

  3. Re:STOP DOING THIS! on Wiki Weapon Project Test-Fires a (Partly) 3D-Printed Rifle · · Score: 1

    This is a -1 ? Seriously?

    This is a nascent technology and already people are all like: "Oooh! lets make a machine gun!". Case-in-point: in the TFA they manufactured what is considered the "controlled component" of the weapon. Now this is typically above the head of the uninitiated but what it means is they manufactured the regulated part of the weapon, the lower receiver, all other parts are considered accessories.

    I'm counting the days until 20/20 has an expose on "homemade weapons of mass destruction".

    "With one of these inexpensive devices you can produce an automatic assault rifle just as easily as printing our your aunt Mary's cheesecake recipe"

    Gun culture people... you are going to have to decide what you like more... your 3D printer or your Darth Vader rifle.

    Thanks for bring me up to date on the terminology.

    Yea, this one jumped the rails with a quickness. My theory is that this post came late in the day when most of Slashdot Nation is coming down off its caffeine buzz.

    Yea, they busted the story about the guy who shot his balls off by sticking a .22 in the fuse box of his truck. You can electrically fire rimfire bullets.

  23. Re:I'm Optimistic on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 1

    Your post is the greatest thing I have ever read.

  24. I'm a Fundamentalist Supra-athiest and fuck-heads like Dawkins are ignorant of the true meaning of what they don't believe in.

    Answer me this all you ignorant Atheists... how do you know that is God that does not exist? What if there is something else that does not exist? Something that you have not even considered not believing in?

    Never mind --dont bore me with your ignorance. Most people don't have the intelligence to understand like I do. Many years of watching Nova and Mythbusters and other distilled sources of human knowledge give me a unique perspective.
