  1. Re:Prior art again Bill! on Bill Gates Seeking Patent To Make Shakespeare Less Boring · · Score: 1

    I guess the Swedish Chef is in patent violation?

  2. AOL New Staff Bonuses? on As AOL Prepares To Downsize Patch, CEO Fires Employee During Meeting · · Score: 1

    I wasn't aware that AOL gave bonuses to staff for proving there are more horses asses than horses.

  3. Great Comedy! on NSA Director Defends Surveillance To Unsympathetic Black Hat Crowd · · Score: 1

    Arch Conservative vs. Anarchists. Who did this general piss off?!

  4. Eyes Rooling Upward on Computer Scientists Develop 'Mathematical Jigsaw Puzzles' To Encrypt Software · · Score: 1

    Great! Another genius harvested from a dead culture screaming, "eureka!" OK, without wining, how is this going to:
    fix my tractor?
    food?
    cure some, currently, uncurable illness?
    put a new roof on my home?
    clothing?

    No comment? I figured as much.

  5. Multiple Screens? on Are We At the Limit of Screen Resolution Improvements? · · Score: 1

    Multiple screens can turn data into information when applied.

  6. Re:unbelievable, seriously! on Study Finds 3D Printers Pay For Themselves In Under a Year · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking of ones garage, and some kind of "hydra" print head(s) making the next what ever I need. Automated to the point of selecting some image, and a tap of my finger to select. The only feed back are the bags of various powders needed to complete the job that I don't already have in storage that a delivery truck will bring before the machine needs the materials to work with. Filaments are so yesterday.

  7. Re:I realise that this study is in the USA on Study Finds 3D Printers Pay For Themselves In Under a Year · · Score: 1

    I guess the question becomes, "given the type of filament used, what products would be the top candidates for 3D printing?"

  8. Re:Dumb "study" on Study Finds 3D Printers Pay For Themselves In Under a Year · · Score: 1

    What causes the failure?

  9. Re:Unavoidable conclusion on Study Finds 3D Printers Pay For Themselves In Under a Year · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking that staying up late at night watching TV adds while working with a 3D printer is a bad combination.

  10. Re:Wal-Mart Effect on Obama Praises Amazon At One of Its Controversial Warehouses · · Score: 1

    As Yoda stated, "there is another."

    WalMart, and Amazon are middle man, only.

  11. Investigating the 1st Admendment? on Bradley Manning Convicted of Espionage, Acquitted of 'Aiding the Enemy' · · Score: 1

    Pfc. B. Manning is the issue, not the U.S.Constitution. The government can investigate till the second comming, and it would not change the 1st Admendment. Of course, if one is NOT a U.S.Citizen News Person; the rules change. From a personal view point, I think the military is more than a little pissed at having to be lawful, in the light of day.

  12. Lets Consider Russia's Concept on Russia Proposes Banning Foul Language On the Internet · · Score: 1

    Ivan's problem isn't Ivan, but i don't see boat loads of people trying to live and work in russia. Could it be that there are people just as smart as Ivan? Could Ivan be the second coming? Or are people bascially smart enough so as to go on with their dreams, and have no problem ignoring Ivan?

  13. Re:Obligartory on Russia Proposes Banning Foul Language On the Internet · · Score: 1

    Not use foul language? On the Internet? How will I Tweet?

  14. Re:But that doesn't explain on Monogamy May Have Evolved To Prevent Infanticide · · Score: 1

    When one observes the actions of Primates in groups, one can then see how our species began. To call their environment, "unforgivingly brutal," would be generous. To consider how the first proto-human survived in a group of non proto-humans would truly be the luckiest human, ever. While others could debate this issue on point, and calmly state, "luck had nothing to do with it, at all."

  15. Re:Fuck ASCAP on ASCAP Petitions FCC To Deny Pandora's Purchase of Radio Station · · Score: 0

    So the acts that Rufford Murdoch serve the public interest? I'm certain the parents of Milly Dowler would be enlightened.

  16. Re:Of course... on Study Questions H-1B Policies · · Score: 1

    You emply American Engineers not getting a job is trivial? That the impact on their community can be ignored? Maybe we can state an example?

    Coming to America on ones own will and determination is not the same as an oiligarcy of myoptic businesses harvesting 110,000 geniuses all over the planet and dumping them in a community with a job, while that community has 1 in 4 either underemployed, or just plain unemployed.

    It's not funny, I know funny, and I'm not laughing.

    I think the H1B visa program should be allowed to have a quiet, un-noticed demise.

  17. Please! Take Pity On the Senator on 'Space Vikings' Spark (Unfounded) NASA Waste Inquiry · · Score: 1

    Did Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), the Senate Judiciary Committee’s top Republican, think they were real Vikings?

  18. Re:Multi-Monitor Support in 2013?!? on Ask Slashdot: Hardware Accelerated Multi-Monitor Support In Linux? · · Score: 1

    I see the six monitors, the laptop, and the demo that uses Compiz.

    But no reference to how it was done, why?

  19. H1B Visas are a Sirens Song on Study Questions H-1B Policies · · Score: 1

    From a myoptic point of view, the business arguments for H1B visas, and off-shoring in general are flawless. Myopia is a disease. Businesses have amply demonstrated that they can come and go as they please. Businesses are openly smug that they are not a part of the community. Their impact of coming and going as they please has the same impact of any Pestilence. These businesses have become a combination of Carcinogenic Myopia.

  20. Re:Of course... on Study Questions H-1B Policies · · Score: 1

    Competitive? Life is not a game show, in Life, the loser starves to death.

  21. Re:Of course... on Study Questions H-1B Policies · · Score: 1

    Problem is, the head designer of the iPhone is dead. Something about meditation and burning candles to cure a non terminal illness. It was a hell of a cancer therapy.

  22. Re:Of course... on Study Questions H-1B Policies · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you work at Facebook, or Google?

  23. Re:English Common Law on Study Questions H-1B Policies · · Score: 1

    I thinking that when it comes to law, that there are not enough U.S. lawyers smart enough to handle todays complex laws. We should go out and harvest geniuses from other countries to school our lawyers in advanced law.

  24. Re:Of course... on Study Questions H-1B Policies · · Score: 1

    An interesting idea, trade schools for Law.

  25. Re:Wages? on Software Development Employment Rises 45% In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    I'm just looking at the observable facts, and asking a question. Why do you want to flood the U.S. with more engineers that its market can obsorb?
