  1. What's the problem? on New York Paper Uses Public Records To Publish Gun-Owner Map · · Score: 1

    1. You've got nothing to hide.
    2. Nobody has any bad intentions with the data (at the time when they came up with the idea for the register).
    3. Getting a gun is your own free choice, so getting registered is your own free choice.

    I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Please feel free to add some more.

  2. Pfizer shows interest. on FDA Closer To Approving Biotech Salmon · · Score: 1

    And in other news: If it can super size a fish, it might as well super size a snake, a Pfizer spokes man says.

  3. Just label it on FDA Closer To Approving Biotech Salmon · · Score: 2

    If it's clear to me what king of food it it, it's fine with me.
    If you want your future kids to have super human powers or gills, take the chance. Eat it!

    There are numerous examples where commercial interest was greater than common sense. If anyone wants to gamble, PLEASE go ahead, but leave me out of it.

  4. why... on Facebook Ordered To End Its Real Name Policy In Germany · · Score: 1

    1. We believe the orders are without merit,
    2. a waste of German taxpayers' money and
    3. we will fight it vigorously,

    1. Don't think too much. If the lay says lump, you jump. Either that, or you go to an other country with different laws. (Or do "I AM THE LAW")
    2. HOW can it be that fb wastes taxpayers money, unless they will do that by doing 3.
    3. Stop wasting my money!

  5. Use a rat... on Laser Prototype Improves Bomb Detection · · Score: 2

    http://www.apopo.org/home.php?lang=en

    Easy to train, easy to maintain, cheap and multifunctional.
    The laser technology definitely is cool, but I like the rat solution.

  6. Re:So wait now on Black Boxes In Cars Raise Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the internet.

  7. Just go to another website on Ad Blocking – a Coming Legal Battleground? · · Score: 1

    In most cases the things you're looking for can be found on many sites. If one has too many ads, go to another.

    Or in the case of television, throw the bloody thing out of your window. Watching commercials and "what's coming up next" for 15 to 20 minutes per hour really is too much. Interrupting a movie with 30 minutes of crap-o-tainment crossed the line for me.

  8. Re:Short answer: on Ad Blocking – a Coming Legal Battleground? · · Score: 1

    Step #3: User finds another site with similar content and stays away from site #1 in the future...

  9. Re:Lawsuit? on High-Voltage Fences For Zapping Would-Be Copper Thieves · · Score: 3, Funny

    'It'll be a little fun to watch one of these guys get electrocuted holding my fence trying to rob me.'"

    Until the the thief turns around and tries to sue you and most likely wins.

    Because he didn't know how to read the signs "copper thieves will be electrocuted; survivors will be electrocuted again"?

  10. Re:A lot of fun on High-Voltage Fences For Zapping Would-Be Copper Thieves · · Score: 1

    Possibly. but what will they do against my pond with that array of... TESLA COILS behind my fence...

  11. Re:Don't innovate, litigate! on Form1 3D Printer and Kickstarter Get Sued For Patent Infringment · · Score: 2

    The first concern of a company is their income, not if people would benefit from a better product.
    Company no benefit, company not producing.
    Company small benefit, people huge benefit, company probably not producing,
    Company huge benefit, people small benefit, company definitely producing,

  12. Re:Don't innovate, litigate! on Form1 3D Printer and Kickstarter Get Sued For Patent Infringment · · Score: 1

    Why would you invest in product improvements when you can hire lawyers?

  13. Re:Why didn't I think of that? on Google Targets Android Fragmentation With Updated Terms For SDK · · Score: 1

    Managing access rights to the address book, camera, gps and other more interesting parts (like sending sms) of the system will be fixed next week.

  14. Parametrized assignments? on Ask Slashdot: How To Catch Photoshop Plagiarism? · · Score: 1

    Give all the students individual assignments, based on their student registration number.
    First number 1, use this texture; 2, use that texture and so on.

    They could copy-and-change, but that would still be a lot of work. Make sure that would be more work than just doing the assignments.
    An other trick is to point out the risks of getting caught.

    But the more interesting thing is indeed to write something to analyse the files.
    I made something to compare Maya files. That worked quite nicely, but I'm not sure if the students liked it. I know I did though :)

  15. Uncertainty? on Amid Fiscal Uncertainty, Venture Capital Is Way Down In Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    With all the uncertainty they're facing with the economy and taxes??
    I don't get it. I was told there are two thing in life that are certain. Economy and taxes.
    Or at least something like that ;)

  16. What's new? on Software Uses Almost 1/2 the Storage On 32GB Surface Tablet · · Score: 1

    Ever tried to remove google maps, you tube, more shit and yahoo finance from your android thing?

  17. Touch screen on Why Does a Voting Machine Need Calibration? · · Score: 1

    The only thing I can imagine is that it's the touch screen that needs to be calibrated.
    Database calibration would be something new to me :)

  18. Why? on Parent Questions Mandatory High School Chemistry · · Score: 1
  19. Didn't RTFA on Mother Found Guilty After Protesting TSA Pat-down of Daughter · · Score: 2

    But WTF : In the case against Abbott it was claimed that her behavior impeded the flow security-lines and lawful activity.
    Is that a crime? Seriously?!

  20. Creating prior art here on Facebook Patents Pokes-Per-Minute Limits · · Score: 1

    However if a user responds in the same speed, the communication is marked as "valid" and no limits apply.

    Facebook. If you're going to implement this, let me know. I'm sure we can work something out.
    If I find out you implemented this without contacting me, it will be a different story.

  21. Re:Far more important lesson. on Would You Put a Tracking Device On Your Child? · · Score: 1

    I don't want that, but fact is, for example, the USA of 'murica is monitoring overseas bank transfers of Europeans. Thanks to the politicians of course who agreed with that shit. Also there was a band in London that made video clip from the cctv recordings in public spaces. How many more examples do you want?
    If you know how to evade this nightmare...

  22. Far more important lesson. on Would You Put a Tracking Device On Your Child? · · Score: 1

    Sadly our children should get used to being followed by authorities (older brother or sister, parents, neighbours, police, homeland security or government) 24/7 as early as possible.

  23. Re:Mobile bandwidth on The UK's 5-Minute 4G Data Cap · · Score: 1

    Funny :)

    But when we're talking about "Capitalism works great for non-critical, non-infrastructure goods and services", having 12Mbits/sec bandwidth to watch netflix of a phone is not on my list of critical goods and services that need to be protected from "free market influence".
    Is 12Mbits/sec on a phone nice? You decide. But critical? Most definitely not.

  24. So it's official now on Are Windows XP/7 Users Smarter Than a 3-Year-Old? · · Score: 1
