  1. as a bitcoin expert... on Ask Slashdot: Should Bitcoin Be Regulated? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Let me end this right now. It's unregulateable. They can try to nip at the heels of the exchanges but other than that, it's impossible. Nobody runs it, nobody controls it. It's distributed, encrypted, and transactions cannot be modified or blocked or intercepted or duplicated. So that sort of makes any "decision" pointless.

  2. I know what's next on North Korea Declares a State of War · · Score: 1

    I believe next is a state of bombed followed by a state of crater. I think they've begun to believe their own lies about superior military and weaponry and all that crap. This would be the most one-sided war ever, assuming China doesn't jump to their side, which they absolutely will not.

  3. Re:SELL!!! on Bitcoin Currency Surpasses 20 National Currencies In Total Value · · Score: 1

    time to cash in

    I sold at a multi-month high of $5.15 quite a long time ago. Ugh. I would have made an additional $4000 or so if I'd have held them.

  4. Re:Pay to look at Apple stuff? on Private Collector Builds Apple Pop-Up Museum · · Score: 0

    And don't forget paying to be lied to. My museum would be just as biased, just in a more realistic direction, towards all their hundreds of law suits they lost, law violations, unfair practices, unfair pricing, bad staff, bad support, bad design, illegal design and materials, horrible product flops, monopoly abuse, and how impossible to work with Steve Jobs was and how much other employees hated him. Oh and don't forget his 25 year long obsession with not putting fans into things which caused horrible overheating problems in numerous devices. That's ACTUAL reality for an ACTUAL museum. I have a feeling this particular museum might leave that out.

  5. wait a second on United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea · · Score: 1

    How are they supposed to see them and get intimated if they're stealth?

  6. Re:it sure would be nice to get a PNG.. on 4-Billion-Pixel Panorama View From Curiosity Rover · · Score: 1

    You have a 90,000 pixel wide monitor setup and a GTX Titan or Quadro to calculate the zooming manually? Wooooow.

  7. Re:Marry Little Minuet on United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea · · Score: 1

  8. How about they do something about it? on United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea · · Score: 1

    So Iraq allegedly maybe might have WMDs or are attempting to maybe start developing them maybe so we invade. North Korea has nukes, says they will use them on us (or pathetically attempt to with some wooden model rocket or whatever, lol) and we don't really do anything but try to scare them. Well guess what, you can't scare crazy. You can certainly bomb crazy though. Why not pick a random, empty target inside North Korea and blow it the hell up? That'd be a pretty strong show of force and you know they'd never do anything. Even the most isolated country knows we'd completely fuck them up in any war.

  9. what a moron on When Your Data Absolutely, Positively has to be Destroyed (Video) · · Score: 1

    Erasing data incorrectly singe 1959. Smashing it into microscopic bits leaves the magnetic data on the platter chunks intact. It's not that big of a leap to assume that we could develop a device that could read the 0's and 1's off of a chunk of a platter.
    A 7-pass 0 and 1 alternating wipe is unrecoverable by anyone anywhere ever. Then you can leave it intact. By the way, you'll never guess what my last job was. Go ahead, guess, I'll wait.










    I took the certification course and test and got HIPAA certified to erase all the leased computers at a huge hospital. There is one allowable way to do it and that's it. So that company is a bunch of morons who don't know what they're doing. Maybe they inhaled too much Paladium and can't think straight. Speaking of that, that's another good reason not to smash hard drives.

  10. Hot stock tip! on The Man Who Sold Shares of Himself · · Score: 1

    Invest in me! lol. I'm working 25 hours, zero benefits, as head IT manager. I do website design, printing, graphics and photoshop, server maintenance, security, hardware, software testing and deployment, long-term planning, smartphones, tablets, and for 1/3 the local industry norm for pay. This market has nowhere to go but up, my friends! And I might risk insider trading but I just beat 89% of Tek Systems employees on a programming assessment so they're likely to make me a better offer any day now. Buy your SlashMyDots (not my real name, lol) stocks now!

  11. Actual summary on Everything About Java 8 · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's a security nightmare, slow and bulky as hell, hard to code in, and horribly impossible to make cross-platform despite that being the point. Bye bye, Java. Good job shooting yourself in the foot.

  12. I have an idea on Largest DDoS In History Reaches 300 Billion Bits Per Second · · Score: 0

    Dutch authorities and the police have made several attempts to enter the bunker by force but failed to do so.

    Cut off their electricity. That can't last real long even if they have generators and they can easily do it from outside. How stupid are they? "Ok guys, let's just give up and go home. The door is really thick." What a bunch of morons.

  13. don't RTFA on Largest DDoS In History Reaches 300 Billion Bits Per Second · · Score: 5, Funny

    WARNING: if you attempt to RTFA, you will also be bombarded by a DDOS of spam ads. I appreciate the realism but it's kinda annoying.

  14. Re:Watch your clauses, people! on Largest DDoS In History Reaches 300 Billion Bits Per Second · · Score: 1

    I still don't see how that would knock out netflix for Dutch people though.

  15. Re:Good. on Man Who Pointed Laser At Aircraft Gets 30-Month Sentence · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe magnets shouldn't be so delicious then

  16. yeeeeah on DOS Emulation Arrives For the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Theme Park and Jurrassic Park are seriously the best games ever made, lol. Oh and I believe the original Exile III from Spiderweb Software was also originally DOS so that's up there with them. It was like Skyrim with 16x16 2D characters but just as good of a quest structure and storyline.

  17. uh oh on The ATF Not Concerned About 3D Printed Guns... Yet · · Score: 1

    What about my 3d-printed tobacco though?

  18. ultra-necro-news, super outdated on Bitcoin To Be Regulated Under US Money Laundering Laws · · Score: 1

    This news came out shortly after the 2nd largest BTC exchange went offline because of BSA laws OVER A YEAR AGO. A month or so later, MTGox implemented a must use real name policy for transactions over a certain amount and I think it was $1000 actually. That was to help not get blocked by the US government and they're 100% based in Japan. So yeah, this is ooooold news.

  19. that's ridiculous on Bosch Finds Solar Business Unprofitable, Exits · · Score: 1

    It's a magical device that continuously spits out money. How the hell can they not make money on solar arrays? Technology is moving forward to the point where nobody in their right mind would have a hydrocarbon plant in a sunny area because it would actually cost more and produce less.

  20. mega lol on Twitter Sued For $50M For Refusing To Identify Anti-Semitic Users · · Score: 1

    A fairly recent survey found the group of people who have the lowest opinion of the French people are the French people themselves. So, aren't they all taking to Twitter to complain about French people and violating their own law? Racism is racism, lol.

  21. suspicious on Most UK GPs Have Prescribed Placebos · · Score: 1

    I KNEW those pills looked an awful lot like Flintstones chewable vitamins!

  22. They don't get it on Adobe To Australians: Fly To US For Cheaper Software · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's just so darn expensive to rewrite all the software upside down for Australia and the rest of the southern hemisphere. That's the entirety of the additional cost!

  23. Re:Forced convergence is all the rage. on We Didn't Need Google's Schmidt To Tell Us Android and Chrome Wouldn't Merge · · Score: 1

    I don't want to touch my server and you can't make me.

  24. Re:Pepsi on New OS X Trojan Adware Injects Ads Into Chrome, Firefox, Safari · · Score: 1

    Don't virus writers rarely name their viruses? It's usually "security researchers" they name them. They should stop giving them such cool-sounding names half the time! Seriously@ Yontoo is crap but I've heard stuff like overlord and mega-justaboutanything and things sounding like a japanese robot. Seriously. Call it jackass1, asshole2, and my favorite, srslywtfwhatajackass32

    It turns out that the original review was actually written by Barbara Streisand. What a coincidence!
