  1. Not really a vulnerability on Vulnerability Found In Skyrim, Fallout, Other Bethesda Games · · Score: 1

    If you have access to a machine, you can cause it to crash. What's exactly surprising about this?

  2. Re:Not your problem on No New S-300 Air-Defense System To Syria Says Russia — But Maybe Old Ones · · Score: 0

    Every conflict like this leads to the strenghtening of radical Islam. Civil wars ensure that the most aggressive groups will seize power in the end. Sure, the Iraq-Iran war may have looked like a good idea at the time, but look at what happened after it was over.

  3. Re:Gun control however... on California Lawmaker Wants 3-D Printers To Be Regulated · · Score: 2, Informative

    I live in Europe where we don't have school shootings or kids blowing themselves up with their father's gun. So yes, gun control works.

  4. It can be made easy on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deal With Programmers Who Have Not Stayed Current? · · Score: 1

    Multiactivity is a subset of concurrency, and can be solved safely and easily using the actor model. The other concurrent problem is parallelism, which can also be made easy by using one of the loads of libraries that do the dirty work for you. As long as you divide a concurrent problem into a multiactivity part and a parallel computation part and don't try to mix the two, concurrency is a solved problem.

    as long as the money only goes to our side.

  6. Re:Naivete, Stupidity, Etc. on Smartphones Driving Violent Crime Across US · · Score: 0

    Exactly. When in a bad neighbourhood, ALWAYS look around before pulling out your phone, wallet or any other valuable item.

  7. Re:Time to fork W3C on DRM In HTML5 — Better Than the Alternative? · · Score: 1, Troll

    The problem is that WHATWG wants to throw web standards out the window instead of coming up with a better alternative.

  8. Re:Simple on How Should the Law Think About Robots? · · Score: 1

    Exactly.

  9. Simple on How Should the Law Think About Robots? · · Score: 1

    Make its owner responsible for the robot.

  10. Dupe on CO2 Levels Reach 400ppm at Mauna Loa For First Time On Record · · Score: 5, Informative

    Dupe.

  11. Re:Impossible geometries? on Realtime GPU Audio · · Score: 1

    A cymbal shaped like a Klein bottle could be simulated by this, for example.

  12. Re:Yawn on Realtime GPU Audio · · Score: 1

    There's already some sound randomization in better games.

  13. Re:Photo synthesis is not all that efficient. on Plug Into a Plant: a New Approach To Clean Energy Harvesting · · Score: 1

    True, but it's also incredibly cheap to produce.

  14. This is the best way of gun control on Printable Gun Downloads Top 100k In 2 Days, Thanks to Kim Dotcom · · Score: 4, Funny

    Give gun nuts a tool to blow themselves up with.

    There are many constituitonial monarchies, but in most of them the monarchs are allowed to form their own opinion.

  17. Re:For those outside of the UK on Did the Queen Just Resurrect the Snooper's Charter? · · Score: 1

    It would be a very strong show of disapproval, and considering the Queens popularity in Britain, could very well defeat the bill.

  18. Re:For those outside of the UK on Did the Queen Just Resurrect the Snooper's Charter? · · Score: 1

    But this is only so because she chose not to form an opninion on anything. She has quite a few powers she's just not using them.

  19. Re:For those outside of the UK on Did the Queen Just Resurrect the Snooper's Charter? · · Score: 1

    Many democracies have a protocollary president in addition to a prime minister who actually do stuff.

  20. Re:For those outside of the UK on Did the Queen Just Resurrect the Snooper's Charter? · · Score: 1

    I'm not British, but doesn't getting involved in politics is the job of a monarch? She gets quite a fat paycheck, she should do some work to earn it.

  21. Re:Multiple rooms on 80FFTs Per Second To Detect Whistles (and Switch On Lights) · · Score: 1

    In a case where we already have a 100% perfect solution, then of course it's unacceptable.

  22. Re:For those outside of the UK on Did the Queen Just Resurrect the Snooper's Charter? · · Score: 0

    She could decide not to read it out.

  23. Re:Confused on Integer Overflow Bug Leads To Diablo III Gold Duping · · Score: 1

    The summary is wrong, they used an unsigned int and the overflow occured at 2^32.

  24. Re:Bad PR? on Integer Overflow Bug Leads To Diablo III Gold Duping · · Score: 1

    IIs that even possible? Are they keeping backups of the game state for every single day?

  25. Re:Ambient noise on Sleep Deprivation Lowers School Achievement In Children · · Score: 1

    I don't think that's a problem. I was raised in a city, and now that I moved I have trouble getting asleep without the noise. Ambient noise is relatively easy to get used to.
