  1. Bad idea on High TechCarnival Aims To Entertain, Inspire, and Educate · · Score: 1

    The people who are interested in STEM and the people who like crowds have no intersection.

  2. A bit too radical on Proposed Rule Would Drastically Restrict Chimp Research · · Score: 1

    If chimps are found a use in science, that would do more for their survival than any preservation program. This regulation shouldn't cover chimps bred in captivity.

  3. Re:This is stupid on Sexism Still a Problem At E3 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I have the same opinion about male hosts. I don't hate women, only women without morals.

  4. Re:That's fine on Legislators Introduce Bill To Stop Set Top Boxes From Watching You · · Score: 1

    The folks on the other end watching will be Indians working for a few dollars a day.

  5. Re:This is stupid on Sexism Still a Problem At E3 · · Score: -1, Troll

    So why don't they show off their games instead of some whores?

  6. Re:In the end? on Google Floats Balloons For Free Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    They plan to sail the high-altitude winds to maintain a constant direction and velocity, forming a circle around the globe. Yes, it's quite a big project, but not physically impossible.

  7. Re:Vigilantism is not a new concept on To Hack Back Or Not To Hack Back? · · Score: 2

    That's not a digital equivalent either.

  8. Cowboy analogy on To Hack Back Or Not To Hack Back? · · Score: 4, Funny

    After the flawed warfare analogy of the military, we now have a flawed cowboy analogy. How can these people be that shortsighted, everyone knows that the internet is like cars.

  9. Re:Not a silver bullet, but a hold-over tactic on Pandora's Promise and the Problem of "Solutionism" · · Score: 1

    That 200 years is a conservative estimate. Advanced breeder and thorium reactors can push that figure up to the thousands, which is more than enough time to crack fusion.

  10. It's a cylinder with sharp corners.

  11. Re:Some MUD's still better on Gaming Roots: MUD and the Birth of MMOs · · Score: 1

    Let's not dismiss the technological development that easily. MUDs were an interesting concept, but far from perfect. Text-based interfaces didn't mix well with realtime gameplay. Today's MMOs became very polished and balanced as we learned more about how design works, MUDs were only driven by their uniqueness that they were the first to offer a persistent world.

  12. Re:Why stop there... on Hackers Spawn Web Supercomputer On Way To Chess World Record · · Score: 1
  13. Re:EU is divided, good side may be winning though on EU Wants To Enshrine Network Neutrality In Law · · Score: 1

    The problem is that both sides fight by introducing more regulations on the net. Whichever side wins, the free Internet will lose.

  14. Re:Please EU, more laws! on EU Wants To Enshrine Network Neutrality In Law · · Score: 1

    But that's not a problem with the EU. The Comission and the Council of Ministers are bad exactly because it's left to the national governments to pick them.

  15. Re:Unless... on EU Countries Closer To Mandatory Minimum Sentence Cap For Hacking · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, no exceptions will be made for investigating journalists.

    That's quite a nice thing to call Fox.

  16. Re:Nice concept on EU Countries Closer To Mandatory Minimum Sentence Cap For Hacking · · Score: 1

    When we talk about debt its every country for himself.

    So when will Greece give all that money back?

  17. Re:Definitions. on Inside PRISM: Why the Government Hates Encryption · · Score: 1

    If the local population weren't sympathetic towards them, the Al Qaeda would be out of Pakistan in a few months. You can't fight a guerilla war if the people aren't supportive of you. The militants get supplies and shelter from the "civilians", and most importantly never get reported by them.

  18. Re:We unfortunately cannot rely on the numbers... on Japan's Radiation Disaster Toll: None Dead, None Sick · · Score: 2

    The study isn't about received radiation, but observable health effects.

  19. Re:What's wrong with "normal" voting? on In France, a Showcase of What Can Go Wrong With Online Voting · · Score: 1

    Cost.

  20. Re:How can you DDoS an MMO? on DoS Attack Forces EVE Online Offline · · Score: 0

    It's enough to do authentication once, after which just remember the IP. You don't have to authenticate every request.

  21. How can you DDoS an MMO? on DoS Attack Forces EVE Online Offline · · Score: -1

    Why do the gaming servers respond to requests from non-players?

  22. In other news on 2013 Nominees For Hobby Gaming's Top Prize · · Score: 0

    Apples won this year's Fruit Award, coming slightly ahead of oranges.

  23. Re:How? on WY Teen Cut From Science Fair For Entering Too Many · · Score: 1

    This is a nuclear fusion reactor, not a fission one. A Farnsworth fusor is relatively easy to build.

  24. Re:Android? on DARPA Unveils an Android-Based Ground Sensor Device · · Score: 1

    Android is safer than Linux because you can set permissions on a per-app basis.

  25. BYOD moves between work and home on Why Everyone Gets It Wrong About BYOD · · Score: 1

    BYODs move between work and home thus transferring sensitive information out and moving viruses in.
