  1. Same people claiming global warming is false. on No, the Tesla Model S Doesn't Pollute More Than an SUV · · Score: 3, Funny

    But if Global Warming does not exist, why do you care if an electric car pollutes more than a regular one?

  2. Re:Good at Computers on Ask Slashdot: How Important Is Advanced Math In a CS Degree? · · Score: 1

    I am good at drinking, so does this mean I should be a brewer?

    Disclaimer: I actually am a pretty good homebrewer, but I would be terrible if I had to make stuff that needed to turn a profit.

  4. Re:Oh, the ironies... on Schools Scanned Students' Irises Without Permission · · Score: 2

    Which, sadly, the "o" in "Bill of Rights" was concealing an iris scanning camera.

  5. Re:Welcome to the new age. on Monju Nuclear Plant Operator Ordered To Stop Restart Preparation · · Score: 1

    The article is about a breeder reactor. So actually when it is done the material is more radioactive.

  6. Re:Just another way to destroy ourselves on India's ICBM Will Carry Multiple Nuclear Warheads · · Score: 1

    India's nukes is and have always been built to deter Pakistan foremost and China secondmost.

    The ICBM cannot even reach the US, by a long shot.

    Same reason very few Chinese nuclear weapons can reach the US. All of them can reach Russia just fine.

    A) India can put stuff in orbit, so why couldn't they hit someone on the other side of the globe?
    B) Pakistan is not that far away, and that is the only country India would want to nuke.

  7. Re:Let me be the first to say... on Hospital Resorts To Cameras To Ensure Employees Wash Hands · · Score: 1

    How about a sensor that detects if they actually have germs on their hands. If so sterilizing boiling water comes out killing the germs.

    Boiling water isn't hot enough to sterilize (autoclaves run hotter). Maybe a plasma - it would look cool too.

    And you can't have germs on your hands if you don't have hands.

    -or-

    Please do not reach into sterilizer with remaining hand.

  8. Re:Why restrict it at all? on PayPal Reviewing Qualifying Age For Vulnerability Rewards · · Score: 1

    It's a voluntary process, why would they need to restrict it? It's not like it's forced child labor. If anything, it's a learning experience.

    Yeah, he learned that he should never report a vulnerability. At best, you get nothing for your trouble, at worst you get the FBI breaking down your door and you get Aaron Swartz'd by some overzealous DA.

  9. Re:Really? on Console Manufacturers Want the Impossible? · · Score: 1

    Article summary should be re-written;

    Console market isn't profitable because there are few games being made gamers want.

    Fixed that. Seriously, Xbox one is being marketed not as a gaming console but a dvr.

    Seriously.

  10. Re:Energy a bit more important than Beer on German Brewers Warn Fracking Could Hurt Beer · · Score: 1

    Let's redouble our efforts to despoil the Earth then. the world of bladerunner may be a shithole, but at least it's got off-world colonies. Pollute, and the rest shall follow.

    If you want off world colonies at the expense of turning the Earth into a barely habitable shithole, I have two words for you: Project Orion.

  11. Re:Uebersetzungsfehler? on German Brewers Warn Fracking Could Hurt Beer · · Score: 1

    if that is the law then all beer is in violation. Unless the water is 100% pure, which is not what you will get from any well on the planet it is violation. The law is actually impossible to meet because one speck of dust means the beer is illegal.

    And you can't brew with distilled water. Yest requires the minerals present in regular water to operate.

    This has nothing to do with Reinheitsgebot (which is a crap law anyhow, it has nothing to do with consumer protection, its about not using wheat supplies to make beer back when wheat was harder to come by)... this is about not contaminating people's drinking water. Announcing it as a threat to beer should get the German public to care. Hell if they ban nuclear and go to green technology, one would think they would ban this too.

    More likely the government is paid off by the companies like it is here in North America.

  12. Re:Sounds reasonable to me. on FiOS User Finds Limit of 'Unlimited' Data Plan: 77 TB/Month · · Score: 1

    That was my point. It was simply a way to suck money out of customers while providing no service.

    Sarcasm detector? Yeah, that's a useful machine.

    That makes as much sense as Bell owning everyone's telephones and renting it to them.

    Your URL makes it sound like the quote is "There's 27 suckers born every minute."

    Must be due to inflation.

    That is bizarre, your quote is from the FP and not the post you actually replied to.

    I think we have proof that you have a "neural development disorder".

  21. Autistic Superpowers on German IT Firm Seeks Autistic Workers · · Score: 1

    Not everyone with autism has superpowers. So will they be firing these people by the hundreds in order to weed out the gifted ones?

    Once the idea is tested and youâ(TM)re comfortable with the design, you can add type annotations.

    I've been doing this with comments since 1999 and it works great! Of course I still haven't gotten around to that final step of going back and adding all those comments but I love the flexibility!

    Unless you like bugs, type-checking is a good thing. Lack of type enforcement encourages what -- lack of forethought?

    When you go to hell, your punishment will be to go back and add comments to every bit of code you have ever written.

    I am pretty sure I would rather stab myself in the eye then go back and look at code I wrote in 1999.
