  1. Re:Absolutely necessary on IBM's Watson Gets a Swear Filter After Learning the Urban Dictionary · · Score: 1

    I'm reminded of a fable about a child commenting on the wardrobe of leader. Shakling WATSON? I think it cruel.

  2. Re:Want the transcript! on IBM's Watson Gets a Swear Filter After Learning the Urban Dictionary · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking that also; I'm also thinking what the test results show after filtering, and was the filter useful?

  3. IBM, Don't Get Your Panties In A Twist on IBM's Watson Gets a Swear Filter After Learning the Urban Dictionary · · Score: 1

    What is the purpose for creating WATSON? I've got Wikipedia, I've GOT SIRI/G-Voice. What do I need you for? What Value does using a crippled computer program give to me? Consider the wealth of communication, how can anything gauage the depth of meaning by filtering?

  4. 3D Printer Version? on The Science Behind Building a Space Gun · · Score: 2

    What would be interesting is if a 3D printer were used to fabricate the gun.

  5. Re:I dunno... on Ask Slashdot: Are Timed Coding Tests Valuable? · · Score: 1

    Aside from the more cynical viewpoint, I can't help but wonder who this, "large tech company" is.

  6. I've Got to Ask on Ask Slashdot: Are Timed Coding Tests Valuable? · · Score: 1

    Just of thought; could this be a more enlighted version of "Crowd Sourcing?"

  7. How Did this Project Come to Be? on Texas High School Student Loses Lawsuit Challenging RFID Tracking Requirement · · Score: 1

    I wonder which program was used to fund this project for this school? Who stopped and said, "we can create a community of people by having them put on this badge and have a computer track them." And what has me wondering even more is, what event occured that prompted such a reaction?

  8. Re:the government screwed the bank too? on AIG Contemplates Joining Stockholder Suit Against US Gov't · · Score: 1

    You might want to check the public record, Chase and several other lenders were fined for their "creative" billing methods.

    I find it hard to understand how criminal collusion in the presence of a hired lawyer is not a criminal act.

  9. Re:the government screwed the bank too? on AIG Contemplates Joining Stockholder Suit Against US Gov't · · Score: 1

    I gues "Default, Foreclosure, Auction" are words that Bankers are not familiar with also?

  10. Fox "News" Now Has Competition on Al Jazeera Gets a US Voice · · Score: 1

    I believe with Al Jazera, and Fox "News"; we get White Noise! XD

  11. Re:Hope it's not windows 8 on US Military Signs Modernization Deal With Microsoft · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can't help but wonder what the cost of using Open Source Solutions would have been? My main fear will not be some power like China obtaining secrets, but some bored 15 year old.

    I can see the head lines now,
    "Teenager aquires robotic mule and uses it to buy Hamburgers and Milk Shakes in a Prom Limo using him m$ phone."

  12. I Couldn't Help But Think of a Better Location on Three-Mile-High Supercomputer Poses Unique Challenges · · Score: 1

    The far side of the Moon. No clouds, no rain, and only a little bit of dust every so often.

  13. When In Doubt. on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Explain To a Coworker That He Writes Bad Code? · · Score: 1

    Lead by Example.

  14. Tool? on Colleges Help Students Fix Their Online Indiscretions · · Score: 1

    Is this a comment on the person who did this? Or is the "Tool" some type of Hardware and or Software?

  15. Re:Pig blood, that is. on Drone Photos Lead to Indictment For Texas Polluters · · Score: 1

    I looked at the daming imagery, I was half expecting to see unshaven person holding a 6 foot stick wearing their grandma's wash dress by the stream of blood.

    Apologies to the estate of Cecil B. Demille.

  16. This is a Cool Idea! on Moscow Plane Crash Caught On Passerby's Dash Cam · · Score: 1

    The feed-clip looked like a hollywood special effects scene. Sometimes what I see from my drivers seat amazes me, sometimes; others times I'm thankful it's not me messing up.

  17. Innocense Lost! How Does This Happen? on Child Gets Nintendo 3DS Full of Porn For Christmas · · Score: 1

    It's a terrible thing to do this to a child. Children should not be the victims of these horrific deeds.

    Not to be to inquisitive about the habbits of children. But where did this terrible event occur at? And what was the costly price for such an object? Was there a promotional code that was used? And what is their Return Policy?

  18. Cool Demo on New KScreen Supplies Some Magic For Multi-Monitor Linux Set-Ups · · Score: 1

    How about doing it with 3,4,5, or 6 screens?

  19. Re:Favorite Comic on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your Favorite Web Comic of 2012? · · Score: 1

    I guess my mind wondered. I thought of Mitch McConnell. I guess his super power is the ability to ingest without a lower mandible, impressive.

  20. Re:Answer: on NASA Plans To "Lasso" Asteroid and Turn It Into Space Station · · Score: 1

    It was a sincere question, to what I consider an exciting project.

  21. Re:What Could Possibly Go Wrong? on NASA Plans To "Lasso" Asteroid and Turn It Into Space Station · · Score: 1

    I was wondering what an "environmental impact report" might look like. I'm hoping the word, "negligible" would be in there somewhere.

  22. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? on NASA Plans To "Lasso" Asteroid and Turn It Into Space Station · · Score: 1

    Sounds like some fun, how can folks like myself get involved?

  23. Free Market Solution? on NYPD To Identify 'Deranged' Gunmen Through Internet Chatter · · Score: 1

    A decade ago some very wealthy types created a Free Market solution to Mental Health Care. These materialistics have now decided that Mental Health Care requires a War Lord at every elementry school. Do these "all for one, and the rest for me" types feel any responsibilty for their actions? Is their concept of voting using your wallet working for you?

    By the way, when FBI puts that psyco's computer back together again, it's going to be very interesting what see what mom was using the computer for. I would be very surprized if her searches were on how best to arm a socialpath.

  24. Re:Why 32bit? on GarageGames Starts IndieGoGo Campaign To Port Torque 3D To Linux · · Score: 1

    Are Net Books and Tablets 32bit?

  25. Re:Thank God... on NASA On Full Court Press To Deflate Doomsday Prophecies · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Mayan's I've talked to think this is funny; they equate the calendar ending like December 31st. The cycle then repeats itself.
