  1. Re:It isn't a carbon capture technique? on Making Liquid Fuels From Sun and Air · · Score: 1

    It is certainly potential carbon neutral and could if used with carbon capture actual be carbon negative.

    When combined with off-shore wind farm, using the off peak energy production this technology was some great potential that could even get the sceptics motivated by their addiction to gas guzzling on side.

  2. No suprise on Investigation Finds Exxon Ignored Its Own Early Climate Change Warnings · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why should it be surprising that a vested interest ignored the evidence at the time, when we see the same denial today when faced with overwhelming evidence?

  3. If nobody notices... on Bitcoin Extortion Group DD4BC Now Targeting Financial Services · · Score: 1

    If nobody notices a DDOS attack did it really happen?

  4. Criminal sanction on Microsoft Continues To Resist US Warrant For Irish Data · · Score: 1

    The EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC makes it a criminal offence to disclose personal private data, this does include email.

    The penalty is £500,000 per individual, this would rapidly mount up when applied to multiple people.

  5. Called out as fake on Hackers Publish Cheating Site's Stolen Data · · Score: 1

    This dump has already been called out as fake

    http://krebsonsecurity.com/201...

  6. Actually Yes Reid Sagehorn is first class tosser on Lawsuit Over Two-Word Tweet Moves Forward · · Score: 1

    To believe actions should not have consequences.

    His sense of entitlement is staggering.

  7. RICO? on "Pixels" DMCA Takedown Even Worse Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    On the fact of this Columbia behaviour appear to be a clear example of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act for Perjury, Fraudlent instruments (DMCA Notices) and best of all even copyright infringement by claiming copyright on material that they don't own.

  8. Re:Ha! on Company Testing Standardized Salaries Is Struggling · · Score: 1

    Spot on, the number self proclaimed libertarians who are ignorant of basic economics is staggering example of the Dunning Kruger effect at work.

  9. Saturn Central Time on North Korea Is Switching To a New Time Zone · · Score: 1

    Based on Saturn Central Time in remembrance of the great Astronaut's Uranus movements, presumably.

  10. Catphishing on Girls Catfish ISIS On Social Media For Travel Money · · Score: 1

    Surely slashdot should known that is is Catphishing not catfishing

  11. Mainly because of Flash Super Cookies on Twitch Is Ditching Flash For HTML5, Just Like YouTube · · Score: 1

    Or more properly called Local Shared Objects

  12. PCSO not Police on Man Arrested After Charging iPhone On London Overground Train · · Score: 2

    PCSO is a Police Community Support Officer, these are not Police Officers, they have very limited powers (they cannot Arrest somebody) and are typically wannabe that cannot cut the grade and have very limited knowledge of the law and in this case even the English language given their confusion of the semantics difference between Abstration and Extraction.

    UK Trains provide charging points for laptops and mobile phones and have signs announcing this, and this is also on the national rail website . These are low power and not suitable for a heavy load like a vacum cleaner.

    "WiFi and power points for laptops and mobile phone chargers are available on some trains"
    http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/...

    The guy was immediately 'de-arrested' and released by the custody Sergeant and why he will get compensation is due course for false arrest.

  13. GitHub is brilliant on GitHub Seeks Funding At $2 Billion Valuation · · Score: 1

    However 2Billion is a big stretch.

  14. Search Hijacking shows increasing desperation on Yahoo Killing Maps, Pipes & More · · Score: 1

    Whenever I get called in to cleanup unwanted malware from the PCs of family and friends it is most commonly search hijacking by Yahoo.

    This increasingly desperate behaviour is ultimately counter productive, the Yahoo brand is trash and some friends actually call the search hijacking they suffer the "Yahoo Virus".

  15. Brexit would be economic disasters on Bank of England Accidentally E-mails Top-Secret "Brexit" Plan To the Guardian · · Score: 1

    If Britain exited the EU we would be subject to an economic disaster.

    However the problem is we look set to be steered into this be minority interests of the likes or Murdock and Barclay Brothers that control the UK media and see their old school power base slipping away under increased integration. The mass media is full of fabricated up news about the EU banning bent bananas and imposing the 'French' metric system which as in reality invented by John Wilkins, a Brit.

  16. People are not standardised components on Bill Gates Still Trying To Buy Some Common Core Testing Love · · Score: 1

    People, neither teachers nor pupils are not standardised components. This is blatantly ridiculous plan.

  17. 10x Programmer is a myth on The Programming Talent Myth · · Score: 1

    In my experience the so called "10x Programmers" are excellent examples of the Dunning Kruger effect at work.

    Their work is usually hacked together rubbish that is neither well tested and intractable.

  18. I find the Officers attitude refreshingly pragmatic and progressive and very untypical.

  19. "Let there be light" on Killer Robots In Plato's Cave · · Score: 1

    Why does this topic remind me of Dark Star

    In particular this bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    The major of media coverage of this topic is just bullshit.

  20. Don't re-invent the wheel on Ask Slashdot: What Would a Constructed Language Have To Be To Replace English? · · Score: 1
  21. The cat is Dead on Einstein and Schrodinger's Quest for a Unified Theory led to a Titanic Clash · · Score: 1

    How many cats live to be 80 in cat years, never mind human years.

    Now that is quantum uncertainty...

  22. PR Disasters on SeaWorld and Others Discover That a Hashtag Can Become a Bashtag · · Score: 2

    The McLibel case shows the sort of PR Disaster that often results from trying to manage negative PR.

  23. Where is the abuse? on On the Dangers and Potential Abuses of DNA Familial Searching · · Score: 1

    They identified a suspect based on evidence and eliminated him using evidence.

    How is that abuse?

  24. What is the difference? on Only Twice Have Nations Banned a Weapon Before It Was Used; They May Do It Again · · Score: 2

    What is the difference between Robot vs Self Guided missiles?

    Personally I think we should be more concerned with nuclear armed Tomahawk than, for example South Korea's autonomous sentry robots.

  25. Re:Last week ... on How Walking With Smartphones May Have Changed Pedestrian Etiquette · · Score: 1

    I was acting entirely properly by local traffic regulations in the UK. The fact that I had a green light means the youth was crossing against the red man. The junction on google street view to draw your own conclusions.

    https://www.google.co.uk/maps/...

    The main point of my post is that the youth was oblivious to the danger he placed himself in then when startled out of this reacted with anger not gratefulness. Clearly a very same ignorance and sense of entitlement the original story highlights.
