  1. The bloody ignorance on Siri's Creator Challenges Texting-While-Driving Study · · Score: 1

    If you handle a gun, your priority is safety. Your safety and that of others. That is your first priority and the own priority.
    Traffic is dangerous too, so it's the same there.
    If your bloody text messages are so important that it can't wait 10 minutes, you better be so bloody important that you can afford a driver.
    Of not, your focus on the traffic.

  2. What is the problem? on Robots Help Manufacturing Recover Without Adding Jobs · · Score: 1

    The problem is not that a robot is doing my work. Actually, that is a good thing.
    The bad thing is I need to work in order to earn money and somehow I need money.
    That is the problem.
    I also need something useful to keep me busy, like work, but that is an other thing.

  3. 700 votes? on Nearest Alien Planet Gets New Name · · Score: 1

    Only 700 votes? We could easily have had a planet named SlashDot!

  5. When you know better on Space Junk 'Cleaning' Missions Urgently Needed · · Score: 1

    When you know it's going to be a problem sooner or later, but you'd rather ignore it now.

  6. Re:Why is this here? on Why We'll Never Meet Aliens · · Score: 5, Funny

    And that's why I love Slashdot - news for philosophers and hypothetical matters.

  7. Re:Why is this here? on Why We'll Never Meet Aliens · · Score: 2

    And then they dare to say this: "Now, let's leap ahead and think about what that looks like in 100 years. Or 1000. Or whenever it is you'll think we'd have the technology to travel to another solar system."

  8. Re:Totally absurd on NYC Police Comm'r: Privacy Is 'Off the Table' After Boston Bombs · · Score: 1

    Wow. I didn't know OS was that dangerous. It's very brave of you to point that out.
    Not to mention the loss in jobs because of OS!
    Somebody! Do something!! OS is the root of all evil!!

    Ok. Enough sarcasm for today :)

    And politicians.

  10. Croud sourcing is retro. on NYC Police Comm'r: Privacy Is 'Off the Table' After Boston Bombs · · Score: 1

    Eastern Germany was also very good at and well known for crowd sourcing to search for criminal behaviour. They even caught criminals before they committed real crimes. They called it the Stasi : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi
    Good luck with that, mister Kelly.

  11. Re:Not to sound overly harsh on Pearson Vue Now On Day 5 of Massive Outage · · Score: 1

    Make estimate and Multiply by pi.

  13. Face it. on Hands-Free Or Voice-Activated Texting Not Safer · · Score: 1

    We are very bad at multitasking.
    The only question that is important, is this: is that text message really more important than the life of some kids or even your own.

  14. Thanks. on Tweet From Hacked AP Account Causes High Freq. Traders To Drop DOW 150 Points · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I want to thank the stock market, once again, for fucking, I mean speculating with my, no, our economy.
    Traders don't give a shit. The man in the street gets fired because stock prices need to go up and up and up and then - oh surprise - they crash.
    My world can do without stock market.

  15. Re:Well well, on The Eternal Mainframe · · Score: 1

  16. Well well, on The Eternal Mainframe · · Score: 0

    "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

    Ok. First of all, I said [xxxxxxx] Krist. Second, I'm proud of my Willy and I want everybody to know. Not only that. I want to show it on television and I don't want Krist extremists or parent extremists to censor me. I have a Willy, You don't respect my privacy, then I have to confront you with my Willy. Simple as that.
    Also I want you to know I went to the toilet. I want you to know that too. I mean, no. I don't want you to know, but I did it and you said you wanted to know.

    You see. That privacy thing. It has a reason. There is A LOT I did do that I don't want you to know. Just because it's not of your fucking business.

    And now I'm going to [xxxxxxxxxx].

  17. Re:tell me again on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 1

    Even nerds living in their basements should have at least SOME notion of what is happening outside.

  18. And that's why on Is Bitcoin Mining a Real-World Environmental Problem? · · Score: 1

    I let others do the mining, say the energy consumption and environment destruction is their responsibility and not mine while I make the profit.

  19. Oh, frell off. on NSA Data Center Brings Concerns Over Security and Privacy and Jobs · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Big Android Problem on Facebook's Android App Can Now Retrieve Data About What Apps You Use · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And, obviously, some scheme in the Play Store to flag apps which get too greedy, or which require classes of permissions which few should really need.

    Obviously definitely not that. It's a developer-first market. Developers are expensive and they do all the work for Google. For free. So Google is the last one that is going to limit them.

  21. Re:Seriously? on Six Retailers Announce Recall of Buckyballs and Buckycubes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Really?! Now that wouldn't be very smart, would it?
