  1. Re:Leaps and bounds on The Squishy Future of Robotics · · Score: 1

    I started thinking of the old joke about why women usually don't use Oder Eaters. After looking at the web page, it all seemed surreal.

  2. Re:What helps... on Ask Slashdot: System Administrator Vs Change Advisory Board · · Score: 2

    "...Is there already a product out there that will make my life a little less stressful on the admin side?..."

    I was thinking along the lines of Meth, it's not going to change anything, but so what.

  3. Were The People Wrong? on Vintage 1960s Era Film Shows IRS Defending Its Use of Computers · · Score: 2

    When one looks at the use of Offshoring, and Entitlements for Hedge Fund Mangers, Oil Companies, and Tax Havens. One is compelled to ask, "when is enough, enough?"

  4. Re:wait, what? on Survey: 56 Percent of US Developers Expect To Become Millionaires · · Score: 1

    I always found it ironic for libertarians that are government employees that say the government is spending to much money; then I get uncomfortable when agree with them.

  5. Re:power cars? technically no on 'Thermoelectrics' Could One Day Power Cars · · Score: 1

    Maybe Solar Heat?

  6. Re:Rewarding the bullies... on Student Records Kids Who Bully Him, Then Gets Threatened With Wiretapping Charge · · Score: 1

    If an Educator, or Administrator caught you with a knife, you were gone. As for the Bullies, I selected game trails they weren't currently hunting at. The "Out of sight, out of mind" solution had more success for me; and I learned a couple of things in the process that is High School.

  7. Re:This is great and all but... on Google Looked Into Space Elevator, Hoverboards, and Teleportation · · Score: 1

    The stuff you mentioned is VERY long term. But it sounds like you don't own stock; maybe some simple reasearch could guide you? What is the diffence between an Investor, and a Stock Trader? Hint: "use 'time' in your response."

  8. Some Tough Love, Maybe? on Google Looked Into Space Elevator, Hoverboards, and Teleportation · · Score: 1

    "...carbon nanotubes. But no one has manufactured a perfectly formed carbon nanotube strand longer than a meter..."

    Maybe some of those third world geniouses with toddler social skills should turn inward and ask, "why is only one meter their best effort?" I sure hate to see them return home with their H1B's "tucked under."

  9. Re:Rewarding the bullies... on Student Records Kids Who Bully Him, Then Gets Threatened With Wiretapping Charge · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I believe you are describing the current post authoritarian decade that finds its declining numbers of leaders faced with the issue of self survival. The easiest way for them to do this is to point a finger at the weakest person they can quickly identify; then say that person is the problem to be solved.

  10. Well, If the NSA Can't Crack It, Ya Right on Snowden Used the Linux Distro Designed For Internet Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Well, at least it will slow down the other Adam Henrey's with their personal, "needs." Where can I download a copy, today's a good day to start again.

  11. Re:What A Beautiful Idea on Carpenter Who Cut Off His Fingers Makes "Robohand" With 3-D Printer · · Score: 1

    As a parent myself, I can say my children are more understanding than I am. I'm very proud of that. I tell my children, "If you have a problem, own it; in front of everyone." It's the only parenting that they seem to consider. I hope you have more luck.

  12. What A Beautiful Idea on Carpenter Who Cut Off His Fingers Makes "Robohand" With 3-D Printer · · Score: 1

    But I think an image of the guy the parent ariticle is about would be better than showing a child with challenged DNA.

  13. Re:So.. on Russia Wants To Establish a Permanent Moon Base · · Score: 1

    Comrad modarater, why so serious?

  14. Re:So.. on Russia Wants To Establish a Permanent Moon Base · · Score: 1

    That's what the Tea Party says, but like Premier khrushchev stated, "don't judge me by my words, judge me by my actions." I haven't seen any news reports that the Tea Party(TP) is in any community helping the needy. I see the TP cost savings actions, costing tax payers billions; and this statement is on public record, ouch.

  15. Re:H1B - a path to a Tech Job on Bachelor's Degree: An Unnecessary Path To a Tech Job · · Score: 1

    I don't know who modded you down, but they may have more to lose than you or I; since H!B visas' have been so thinned out as to be useless from their original intent. A multi billion dollar business that has to use H1Bs' is maintaining a fruad.

  16. Re:So.. on Russia Wants To Establish a Permanent Moon Base · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It would appear that Tea Party Politics are a form of infectious disease, and it's spreading to Russia. Does anyone have the time to tell Capt.PutPut that the USSR, and the Space Race are over?

  17. One Small Question on Mathematical Proof That the Cosmos Could Have Formed Spontaneously From Nothing · · Score: 1

    "quantum fluctuations?"

  18. Re:I'm trying on Rover Curiosity Discovers Australia-Shaped Rock On Mars · · Score: 1

    Ok, when will someone see Jesus, and or Mary on some random arrangement of rocks on Mars?

  19. Re:This is Fantastic! on Rover Curiosity Discovers Australia-Shaped Rock On Mars · · Score: 1

    So the Land Down Under, is seen on the Land Out Yonder?

  20. Human Skin? on For the First Time, Organ Regenerated Inside a Living Animal · · Score: 1

    A human's first line of defense is its skin.

  21. Moon Landings? on NASA To Catalog and Release Source Code For Over 1,000 Projects · · Score: 1

    That would be very interesting.

  22. Re:!P is not NP and NP-Hard is not NP-Complete on P vs. NP Problem Linked To the Quantum Nature of the Universe · · Score: 1

    Just a thought, but Soulskill is stating that the solution is unknown to Soulskill. Carry on.

  23. When is Enough, Enough? on FWD.us Wants More H-1B Visas, But 50% Go To Offshore Firms · · Score: 1

    How much more? When will the House stop these Billionare Entitlements that Zuckerberg, and Tata throw in our faces?

  24. Re:Luddites on An Engineer's Eureka Moment With a GM Flaw · · Score: 1

    Oh poor AC, do you really think 3D Printing will go away? 3D Printing will get even better than it is today; and here's the best part, its cost will go down even further.

  25. Re:Luddites on An Engineer's Eureka Moment With a GM Flaw · · Score: 0

    Why should only the LGBT community be allowed to utilize an optimal solution?
