  1. Re: I have a plan on How To Take Apart Fukushima's 3 Melted-Down Reactors · · Score: 1

    >> A shuttle can lift 30ton into LEO.
    Yep. Somehow, LEO does not sound like a good idea. All things you send to LEO come back to earth within years

    >> you can easily launch all three remaining shuttles with one reactor each
    That is a really bad idea. The US space shuttle is not a model of reliability.
    as soon as this happens:

    with one ton of Pu onboard, we are all dead.

  2. Re:You're asking for unobtanium on How To Take Apart Fukushima's 3 Melted-Down Reactors · · Score: 1

    >> First of all, any wall or barrier can be breached

    You are totally right !
    And there is another point to it : radioactive waste is releasing various (radioactive, and explosive) gasesover time. You cannot hold these gases forever, so you have to vent them into the athmosphere >> a barrier is not only imposible, but it's also not desirable over the long term.

  3. Re:Wait for better robots on How To Take Apart Fukushima's 3 Melted-Down Reactors · · Score: 1

    That is BS.
    Robots did not work in '86. Today's electronics and plastics are much more vulnerable to rad than in '86.
    it will inevitably end like that : http://www.archifiction.org/34...

  4. You didn't try it :) on Louis Suarez-Potts Talks About Making Money with FOSS (Video) · · Score: 2

    All those years and you didn't try LO.
    MS. Office is really not any more at the level of Libreoffice...

    Beta is crap. We want Slashdot back.

  11. Shitty Deutsche Telekom on German Chancellor Proposes European Communications Network · · Score: 1

    All of this is because Telekom is making other ISPs paying insane fes for peering, which forces them to route through the USA instead to have peering at a lower cost indirectly to Telekom (also known as Drosselkom), passing all data directly to the NSA and co.

  12. Tritium ? on NASA Now Accepting Applications From Companies That Want To Mine the Moon · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mining tritium on the moon ?
    not a good idea.
    If you bring it back and it explodes in the athmosphere during reentry, we are all dead.

    BTW, slashdot beta is shit.

  13. Mint's problem on Canonical Developer Warns About Banking With Linux Mint · · Score: 1

    Mint is a security problem in itself.
    It takes ubuntu, and strips it from upgrade, strips it from some updates, fro broken reasons.
    Why break functionnality insted of making the right thing, which would be to limit it by default, for example.

  14. Re:Over-the-air Security Protocols on The Second Operating System Hiding In Every Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    >> A fake cell won't work as in LTE the authentication is mutual:

    Yeah. Everything is not encrypted.
    There is still a huge attack surface. One simple example : downgrade attack. Simply switch to GSM, and the baseband will respond to your fake BS with the same old buggy and broken protocols, using code not really updated since 1997.

  15. Re:MCUs run firmware on The Second Operating System Hiding In Every Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    >> Luckily, they still fit in a mylar bag.

    ?? what should a mylar bag do ??
    Better put theim in the thrash bag instead

    >> Visual Studio Express is free.

    not exactly.
    it comes with the cost of being tied to an aeging-soon-to-be-obsoleted platform.

  23. Society on $20 'Toy' Deactivates Cheap Home Alarms, Opens Doors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's almost as if the security society is selling the appearance of security instead of actual security. Surely, they wouldn't be so mercenary.

  24. Re:USA citizens safe, not care rest of world?? on Time For X-No-Wiretap HTTP Header? · · Score: 1

    >> "I am USA citizen, do not spy on me, dear NSA!" What about rest of the world?

    Being a citizen of country X or Y does not change anything, nobody cares in intelligence agencies. Being a citizen gives you no protection.

  25. Re:Wrong date on Time For X-No-Wiretap HTTP Header? · · Score: 0

    No, in Sovit countries it's 1. May, not 1. April.
