  1. Self-solved on Ukraine Asks Zuckerberg to Discipline Kremlin Facebook Bots · · Score: 0

    If Kiev government does not stop soon the civil war against their own eastern region, the problem will be self solved, as nobody in Ukraine will be able to afford Internet access anymore.

  2. Re:global suicide on Islamic State "Laptop of Doom" Hints At Plots Including Bubonic Plague · · Score: 1

    Well, IS said they want to rule a given territory. They need to be alive to do that.

  3. Re:and is the usa the last resort jail / prison he on Anti-Ebola Drug ZMapp Makes Clean Sweep: 18 of 18 Monkeys Survive Infection · · Score: 2

    Considering the growing fraction of US population that live in prisons, that seems fair.

  4. Unix on Ask Slashdot: What Old Technology Can't You Give Up? · · Score: 1

    Unix (40 years old!) like systems, TCP/IP, von Neuman architecture... and as said by others: paper and pen.

    Seriously speaking, I tend to stick with decade-years old software that have a decent user interface. That gets quite rare these days

  5. global suicide on Islamic State "Laptop of Doom" Hints At Plots Including Bubonic Plague · · Score: 2

    The problem with biological weapons is that you are never sure it will not destroy your own population.

    And even evil regimes need a population to support them, to get food to eat, for instance, or to produce oil sold for food.

  6. Good news for the wealthiers on Anti-Ebola Drug ZMapp Makes Clean Sweep: 18 of 18 Monkeys Survive Infection · · Score: 2

    Good news for the ones that can afford the treatment, either personally or through their government. Death for the others.

  7. Mutual authentication? on No, a Stolen iPod Didn't Brick Ben Eberle's Prosthetic Hand · · Score: 1

    TFA says the iPod finds the hand by its unique serial number. But how does the hand authenticate the iPod?

  8. glusterFS on How Red Hat Can Recapture Developer Interest · · Score: 1

    Redhat has some hot stuff being developed, look at GlusterFS for instance.

  9. Re:Marx became an insult on Net Neutrality Is 'Marxist,' According To a Koch-Backed Astroturf Group · · Score: 1

    I agree, but when the use "marxism" as a synonym for evil totalitarian regime, they do not refer to Marx solutions, but to Stalin's ones.

  10. Marx became an insult on Net Neutrality Is 'Marxist,' According To a Koch-Backed Astroturf Group · · Score: 2

    It is amazing that Marx became an insult. Marx just told us that the wealthier want to get even more rich, which in the end makes labor unable to purchase the goods produced, and hence capitalism destroys itself.

    I guess they confuse Marx and Stalin.

  11. omega 3 / omega 6 imbalance on The Evolution of Diet · · Score: 1

    The paper missed the omega 3 / omega 6 imbalance, which helps explaining why eating a lot of meat did not cause heart diseases and cancer up to the middle ages while it does now (hint: that meat was not fed with omega-6 rich plants such as soy).

  12. Re:What about nursing?? on ACM Blames the PC For Driving Women Away From Computer Science · · Score: 1

    In a male-dominated field, you can add more women than men and still have more males for a few decades, until the olders retire.

  13. Re:Why worry about skyscrapers? on Slashdot Asks: How Prepared Are You For an Earthquake? · · Score: 1

    Except for that third world trade center building that got no plane crashed in but still colapsed.

  14. Important stuff on New EU Rules Will Limit Vacuum Cleaners To 1600W · · Score: 1

    I am glad EU takes care of the vacuum cleaners problem. At least it will do little harm here.

    When EU tackled economical problems, they managed to ruin entire countries and lower citizen life expectancy. I am sure dead people wil enjoy having better vacuum cleaners.

  15. Useful content? on Study: Ad-Free Internet Would Cost Everyone $230-a-Year · · Score: 1

    Perhaps without that money we would see less crappy content promoted by SEO. SEO has its price too...

  16. inflexible labor markets on Dramatic Shifts In Manufacturing Costs Are Driving Companies To US, Mexico · · Score: 1

    The summary talks about "inflexible labor markets".

    Yes, some population write laws that protect human beings from exploitation. I would not call it "inflexible", but "protective", or just "human"

  17. Is there a page somewhere where I can query the results to see how my own site goes?

  18. Cheaper, not more on FarmBot: an Open Source Automated Farming Machine · · Score: 1

    This is not about producing more food, this is about reducing the production cost. After all, the same work could have been done by humans.

    But I would appreciate other improvement from farming: Instead of producing more or cheaper, it would be nice to produce more sustainable: avoid erosion, limit chemical helpers, avoid GMO (which will just drive resistance against chemical helpers), manage water supply...

  19. Ballmer's advices on Ballmer Leaves Microsoft Board · · Score: 1

    he spent most of the letter encouraging Nadella and giving advice

    I would be cautious with advices from the guy that has just been fired. Just saying I heard them may cause MS quotation to drop.

  20. Re:Rational decisions? on Women Founders Outpace Male Counterparts In Certain Types of Kickstarter Funding · · Score: 1

    You need a set of male entrepreneurs posing as a women to check that. But after that study that should come quickly.

  21. Rational decisions? on Women Founders Outpace Male Counterparts In Certain Types of Kickstarter Funding · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If I understand the summary correctly, women would be investing into projects just because the leader is female?

  22. Re:Surprise? on Munich Reverses Course, May Ditch Linux For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    All users complain at least sometimes

    But if I was a MS PR person in charge of destroying the Munich Linux symbol, I would leverage user complains to motivate a switch: Vox populi, vox dei

  23. What is easier to fix afterward on Ask Slashdot: Should You Invest In Documentation, Or UX? · · Score: 1

    I would favor user interface: it is easier to add missing doc afterwards than fixing a bad UI.

  24. Obligatory joke on Kevlar Protects Cables From Sharks, Experts Look For Protection From Shark Week · · Score: 5, Funny

    Kevlar does not protect from wireshark!

  25. no programmers required on New Watson-Style AI Called Viv Seeks To Be the First 'Global Brain' · · Score: 1

    "no programmers required" they say... Good joke!
