  1. Re:i think we will all be batteries on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 1

    What I find amazing is that in about 10 years, hard drive sizes will be at the Pita-byte size, and work on Exo-byte storage will start to emerge.

  2. Re:Art on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 1

    Promoting accomplishment could be as simple as saying, "what you just did, is good. On a blog site. The message will be global instantly." But if a machine is doing it, wouldn't being a craftsman be more of a stubborn reaction to conditions?

  3. When is Money Obsolete? on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 1

    I have many questions about this approaching global state of existance.

    Better yet. Where will one sleep when jobs are automated, and someone says, "get off my property!"

  4. Who the F is Larry Page? on Larry Page: You Worry Too Much About Medical Privacy · · Score: 1

    Someone should tell their village idiot to wait till 2014 when insurance companies HAVE to insure. But then again, one will be able to file taxes, and pay for medical insurance in one billl.

    Math question: if there are over 7 billion people, and one were to keep track of their medical history. How much disk space would be required?

  5. m$ For Once, Nailed It on Leaked Microsoft Video Parodies Chrome Ad · · Score: 1

    Not a single comment was incorrect. If the DHLS did this, the uproar would be toppling. One interesting aspect is that even though this data is being collected in the raw, the information is mercantile. I guess then we can chant, "All Hail Ad Blockers."

  6. Another Spin Off Technology on Why We Should Build a Supercomputer Replica of the Human Brain · · Score: 1

    Locating lost car keys.

  7. Re:9 out of 10 on Bing Translator Adds Klingon · · Score: 1

    When it comes to m$_bing, I find myself uninspired. But translating Klingon? That's cool.

  8. Not Verifiable on Make Your Own Invisibility Cloak With a 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    So, ua, I looked for the download to verify the claim; nothing. I guess someone at Duke is, self medicating?

  9. Re:Because it's valuable, duh. on Why Is Science Behind a Paywall? · · Score: 1

    Please cite reference? XD

  10. OMG! Terrorists Wear Clothes! on California Lawmaker Wants 3-D Printers To Be Regulated · · Score: 1

    Is there nothing humanity can do to stop this? We must regulate all those who wear clothes. As a previous president would say, "Wearing clothes supports Terrorisum."

  11. Re:Because it's valuable, duh. on Why Is Science Behind a Paywall? · · Score: 1

    Do the authors get royalties?

  12. Is This Data Not Already Available? on Biometric Database Plans Hidden In Immigration Bill · · Score: 1

    I think of the $60,000 hammer comment made in the movie, "Independence Day"

  13. Re:Republicans control the house on US Senate Passes Internet Tax Bill 69 To 27 · · Score: 1

    I believe there will be a loop hole in the bill for certain types of businesses?

  14. Re:Republicans control the house on US Senate Passes Internet Tax Bill 69 To 27 · · Score: 1

    I know responding to an AC is like casting perl. So AC, where is the support data?

  15. Re:Republicans control the house on US Senate Passes Internet Tax Bill 69 To 27 · · Score: 1

    And Mitt Romney couldn't agree more.

  16. Interstate Commerce Act, Anybody? on US Senate Passes Internet Tax Bill 69 To 27 · · Score: 1

    How is this "law" not a violation? An another lie, yes lie, is the how business is "hurt." Even the tinyest of businesses are gaming the law. The last time I saw a Brick and Mortor NOT have a web site, that is also "being hurt", was, never. This law smells like fish, three days in the sun.

  17. Guilty of Capitol Thought? on "Terrorist" Lyrics Land High Schooler In Jail · · Score: 1

    For Law Enforcement, that pesky First Amendment must be frustrating. Wait, maybe the time and a halfer's telling us they're the ones keeping KAOS at bay should ask themselves, "why did those old middle aged clowns create the First Amendment?" Maybe because it's OK to kill over 50 people, and harm over 400 other citizens?

  18. Cheese with Your Wine? on Ask Slashdot: How To Handle a Colleague's Sloppy Work? · · Score: 1

    Elegant? Sloppy? So you have a clue. It's not your fault, the Gods have given you the gift of pride. It's a hell of problem. Good luck.

    [SOLVED] On your own dime, develope a solution demonstrating your point.

    Then maybe ask the question?

  20. Re:One of two things. on Can Older Software Developers Still Learn New Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Developers! According to supply and demand, programmer salaries are too low. Get a raise today!

    Better yet, reprogram the aircraft to land in India. And sit back and smile as the pilot says, "But the ILS says we're landing at LAX!!!"

  21. Re:Of course not on Can Older Software Developers Still Learn New Tricks? · · Score: 1

    I'm of average,(almost), intelligence; but what doesn't get old is when junior,(a Stanford Grad no less), comes up to me and says, "the manual says it does this, but the same code in my project doesn't do what the manual says it should." Fun times, fun times. Then the horror in their eyes when I say, "oh? just do this then" They plead, "that's not written anywhere!" And the abject anger that occurs when I suggest she/he should go back to school and ask for their money back.

    I'm sorry kids, my mind wondered; it won't happen again.

  22. A 13 Year Old Story Resubmit? Old News on Robot Snake Could Aid Search and Rescue Operations · · Score: 1

    This Proof of Concept was mentioned in 2000.

  23. Re:Logistics is Required Here on What's Holding Back 3-D Printing · · Score: 1

    The next thing is to create a Wiki on all manufactured items that exist. The data is in the Wild, but not organized in an accessable Wiki.

  24. Logistics is Required Here on What's Holding Back 3-D Printing · · Score: 1

    A worthy goal would be to make a 3D print process that creates other 3D printers, then let everyone have a chance to create.
