  1. Re:Magnets?! How to they %#^&^@# work? on Subdermal Magnets Allow You To Wear an IPod Like a Watch · · Score: 1

    The difference is that modern iPods have flashdrives instead of small magnetic HDDs.

  2. Re:Apple announces on Subdermal Magnets Allow You To Wear an IPod Like a Watch · · Score: 4, Funny

    You are holding it wrong.

  3. Re:So wait... on Member Claims Anonymous "Might Well Be the Most Powerful Organization On Earth" · · Score: 3, Funny

    It would be awesome if we could Slashdot this article, thus putting these n00bz in their place. Come on guys, just a few refreshes...

    It's also possible to achieve the same effect without humiliating your own body by using a strap.

  5. How old are they? on High School Students Sue Federal Gov't Over Global Warming · · Score: 1

    If they are below eighteen, they don't have a right to sue. If they are older than that, they are just as responsible as the rest of humanity.

    Or three primes.

  7. Proof? on Microsoft-Funded Startup Aims To Kill BitTorrent Traffic · · Score: 1

    The company doesn't reveal how it works

    And until they do or show some proof of a succesful action, I remain sceptical.

    Seriously, if it's that important, encrypt it and back it up in a dozen places.

  10. Oversensitive? on Connecticut Resident Stopped By State Police For Radioactivity · · Score: 1

    The amount of radioactive material used for medical purposes is very small, and noone could do much harm with it. They should only check cars that have radiation indicating large amounts of the stuff.

  11. Re:I've used the LRAD... on Britain Bringing Out 'Sonic Gun' For Olympics Security · · Score: 1

    They will just switch the tune to the brown noise.

  12. Re:The problem no one will mention on NASA's Hansen Calls Out Obama On Climate Change · · Score: 1, Troll

    Are you worried about carbon emissions through breathing? Because animals do a lot more of that than humanity, so by this logic we should start by killing all animals in order to save the environment.

  13. Re:Mass production on The Dutch Repair Cafe Versus the Throwaway Society · · Score: 1

    If you do it yourself, you pay for it with your time. Your examples are good, those are things that were designed for longterm use, thus repairing them is a possibility. But most stuff isn't like that.

  14. What's the point? on New .secure Internet Domain On Tap · · Score: 1

    When you use a https site you don't need the TLD to tell that it is secure: the protocol name is what's to be counted on.

  15. Re:Summary Wrong Again on Wear a Mask During a Protest In Canada: 10 Years In Jail · · Score: 1

    So why were you wearing a mask in the first place? Isn't the point of a protest is to support a cause by being physically there, supporting it with your identity? As for a protest turning violent, most serious protests quickly tell those violent provocateurs to GTFO. If you observe violence and don't act to stop it, you are just as guilty as the one committing it. While protests would seem like a great way to hide behind the masses from responsibility, not even the mob that was there will protect you. You won't get convicted for something that's not a crime, therefor wearing a mask is a sign that you are, in fact, a criminal. There are many places that don't allow you to conceal your face like banks and supermarkets, why would protests be different? What you do on the public streets is not your private business that you can hide. As for the police, the cops will not have any respect if they can't even protect themselves. And without authority, the police force is worth nothing.

    Police also wear identification numbers.

  17. Re:nice try, planetary scientists on Vesta Is a Baby Planet, Not an Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Ceres couldn't clear its orbit, therefore it's not a planet. It's just another member of the asteroid belt, a collection of rocks that while had the chance to become a planet, didn't become one. Making Ceres or Vesta a planet would make us forget about all the mass that exists in the same orbit: the asteroid belt doesn't contain a planet, the whole belt itself is a failed planet.

  18. Mass production on The Dutch Repair Cafe Versus the Throwaway Society · · Score: 1

    Creating a new item on an assembly line is generally cheaper than trying to repair it.

  19. Trust is the least of the problems on Positive Bias Could Erode Public Trust In Science · · Score: 1

    It also erodes science.

  20. Re:I work in the advertising industry on Dish Network Announces Prime Time TV With No Ads · · Score: 1

    That was a bit harsh. Advertising is pretty much paying for the whole Internet, for example.

  21. Re:I work in the advertising industry on Dish Network Announces Prime Time TV With No Ads · · Score: 1

    Product placement is already a reality, and I don't think there ever was hard proof that short flashes really make you subconciously want the product advertised.

    Exactly. This is just banning deep packet inspection not true net nutrality.

  24. Re:Turn about is fair play. on UK Home Secretary Bans US Martial Arts Expert · · Score: 1

    Well, "not conducive to the public good" is not really a reason, and not being as bad as the US is not the definition of fair.

    The problem with this eye for an eye approach is that it will be the little guy on both sides to suffer.
