  1. Knee Jerk Reaction = Trolling on Twitter Says It's Beating the Trolls (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    A great idea for a app would be a Troll to PC Converter, maybe "Troll2PC?" Its not that the Trolls are always 'wrong', for all cases, Trolls say it 'wrong' for all cases. I know for a fact I should always use it. I would think of it as Spell Check for Trolls, maybe SpellCheck4Trolls? Of course there's always comedy, "You Know When You're a Troll when you write ..." That probably works better now that I think of it.

  2. Good Question on The Problem With Self Driving Cars: Who Controls the Code? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I believe that automotive impact testing done using this Poster, and any supportive souls as, and pardon the pun, crash dummies. By concentrating only on cost one easily losses focus on perspective benefits. Cost Only Solutions are starting to go on its long path to obsolescence, but it is clear that it is already headed in that direction.

    Will Linux be used in the analysis?

  3. Re:Hmm on Merry Christmas - Be an Erector Engineer! · · Score: 1

    Because the CEO of Apple says that Americans are to stupid. I've done what Apple did. I've just hired an H1B engineer that only knows about Erector Sets. Once it finishes the project for my child, it will be returned back.

  4. Re:Simple. on Ask Slashdot: How To Deal With a Persistent and Incessant Port Scanner? · · Score: 2

    A possible movie and game idea, "After being ignored by the folks who think its your problem, deal with it. Introduce them to port scanning with an AR15." Move over cat videos on YouTube.

  5. Re: Hyberbole much? on TSA Body Scanner Opt-out No Longer Guaranteed (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    Great idea for a movie and game, "Person hunts down the master minds of TSA Poisoning. With various middle school level results." For example, test the Executives making these decisions with these machines.

  6. Re:Tax Inversion on Tim Cook Calls Apple's Tax Questions 'Political Crap' (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Could you site a reference? There are plenty of references in his book, try one of those. And Zukerberg, his movie is entertainment only.

  7. Consider There Suggestions? on Ask Slashdot: Resources For Explaining Statistics For the Very First Time? (thejuliagroup.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Statistics is best learned using a "Hands On" approach. It is a difficult subject for middle school students. An example lesson is to ask a relevant class question and then use the class data to teach what ever the topic is.

    The professors of the California Math Project have access to a variety of practices and resources for teaching middle school math.

    Try these resources; the National Counsel of Teachers of Mathematics,(NCTM), the Illustrative Mathematics web site, and "The Teaching Channel". These web sites have teaching activities and resources for middle school math

    Zuckerburg applauds your simple logic.

  9. Re: Tax Inversion on Tim Cook Calls Apple's Tax Questions 'Political Crap' (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The last time I checked, dodging taxes was a criminal offense. The sole purpose of Tom's business model is to avoid taxes. This is a case of simple collusion, on a global scale.

  10. Re:What the fuck is "Vulkan"? on Khronos Delays Vulkan Graphics API To 2016 Release (phoronix.com) · · Score: 0

    I'm curious, how do I implement it on my Android, or Apple phones?

  11. Re:What the fuck is "Vulkan"? on Khronos Delays Vulkan Graphics API To 2016 Release (phoronix.com) · · Score: 0

    Android/Apple code samples?

  12. Re:Hobbies on Is OpenAI Solving the Wrong Problem? (hbr.org) · · Score: 1

    Hawking looks at stars, not software. Translation, these Billionaires can't monetize A.I., so they're afraid. But it's OK to sell GMO foods without telling anyone. I get it.

  13. Re: Backdoors and Encryption on Carly Fiorina Says Government Needs a Way To "Work Around" Encryption (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    You might want to fact the U.S.'s party systems. Better yet, you run for President. If a political dumb ass surgeon can, you can. Hillary has shown she can't lead. The Republican bench as a group are nin-com-poops(sp?). One problem I've figured out; who ever is involved with Citizens United, I wish cancer upon them all.

  14. Re:Backdoors and Encryption on Carly Fiorina Says Government Needs a Way To "Work Around" Encryption (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    How about here? Democrats have great ideas, but Republicans can get the job done without spending all the money. There are exceptions to this rule. Like the Obama Care web site, and World-Com.

  15. Re:What makes people think the government is so sm on Carly Fiorina Says Government Needs a Way To "Work Around" Encryption (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    As opposed to the Republicans that did do anything they felt like?

  16. That would not be enough, for better coverage we should put their money backers up there also. It's for the children.

  17. Re:Backdoors and Encryption on Carly Fiorina Says Government Needs a Way To "Work Around" Encryption (dailydot.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's amazing what people will want to happen to others, as long as it is not applied to them. For example, "Join the Tea Party Fund Raising Event to help the Homeless." Where has one seen this; ever.

  18. Re:What about the nitrogen oxides? on Volkswagen Says Carbon Deviations Much Smaller Than Suspected (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    How do you think the VW's engineers stupidity was brought to light?

  19. Is It Wrong to Lie at a Town Hall Meeting? on North Carolina Town Defeats Big Solar's Plan To Suck Up the Sun (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I read TFA, Mary Hobbs of Woodland, N.C. lied. Why?

  20. Re:Dear Mr FBI on FBI: Just Don't Call Them Backdoors (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    The U.S. has the equipment, thanks NSA, so that all conversations of government staff can be monitored. If they're not doing anything wrong, it isn't a problem. Of course, government staff can always resign, even the H1B ones.

  21. Re:Apparently... on Elon Musk, Others Fund $1B Non-Profit To Advance AI Research, Ethics (openai.com) · · Score: 1

    Elon has publicly stated that AI is bad, but it appears that AI is not bad if Elon does it?

  22. Re:Should be much easier in China on Baidu Speeds Up Driverless Race With First Full Test On Beijing Roads (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Interesting, with all that money and technology, the BMW3 convertible wasn't used.

  23. Re:What about the nitrogen oxides? on Volkswagen Says Carbon Deviations Much Smaller Than Suspected (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Car company's use computerized testing equipment and test tracks, and test simulators for their cars. The one thing they don't talk about is their code. And I for one find that very troubling.

  24. Re:What about the nitrogen oxides? on Volkswagen Says Carbon Deviations Much Smaller Than Suspected (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm confused about things VW. When VW engineers have globally demonstrated they're to stupid to figure things out, someone listens to them for an excuse? It's like listening to a serial shopper explain why it kept shopping was because it had a credit card, still.

  25. Re:doesn't even necessariy require much skill on What If Someone Uses This DIY CRISPR Kit To Make Mutant Bacteria? (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    How about Quantum Computers?
