  1. Re:I like... on U.S. Senator: All Cops Should Wear Cameras · · Score: 1

    Only police unions and dirty cops.

  2. Re:The moment of truth on GOG Introduces DRM-Free Movie Store · · Score: 1

    what if i subscribe to netflix and download?

  3. Re:The worrisome part on California Passes Law Mandating Smartphone Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    it should also be a jury of peers. Not a jury of idiots which is what you normally get.

  4. Re:Expert?? on Is Storage Necessary For Renewable Energy? · · Score: 1

    Fairly sure you mean hydroelectric is a form of solar

  5. Re:The fault is with human nature on Web Trolls Winning As Incivility Increases · · Score: 1

    The term troll has been quite misused. It has been used to mean anyone who doesn't agree with you and someone who brings up a valid counterpoint. Some people get their feelings hurt if everyone doesn't agree with them.

  6. Re:Jezebel? on Writer: Internet Comments Belong On Personal Blogs, Not News Sites · · Score: 1

    Please no! Not the GIFS!
    It's more like people know what buttons to push because it's so obvious.

  7. Re:Space Drive or Global Warming? on Why the "NASA Tested Space Drive" Is Bad Science · · Score: 1

    Yes. Then inflation theory happened.

    Seriously, there's almost nothing in science that is steadfast and "settled". Science is all about trying to find new ways to explain the universe. Every 15-25 years you basically have to throw away your old science books and understand how older models have been modified and updated.

  8. i bet on The Department of Homeland Security Needs Its Own Edward Snowden · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm sure there are hundreds of people who are dying to be criminalized without due process and live in Russia just to be an American patriot.

  9. Re:Sword Art Online on CCP Games Explains Why Virtual Reality First Person Shooters Still Don't Work · · Score: 1

    they might come out with a sequel.

  10. Re:Well, uh, yes actually on FBI Concerned About Criminals Using Driverless Cars · · Score: 1
  11. Re:don't drive with nobody in it? on FBI Concerned About Criminals Using Driverless Cars · · Score: 1

    Brilliant idea. I guess driverless cars that drop people off at the front of the building then park themselves are out of the question. Driverless taxis are out of the question.
    Driverless cars that can drive themselves to the maintenance shop are out of the question.

    Actually it's not a brilliant idea. It's plain stupid.

  12. Re:105 megabits per second on Comcast Customer Service Rep Just Won't Take No For an Answer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I had a 150Mbit connection and i found uses for it all. Having that much extra headroom is very useful.
    Just because you can't find a way or can even fathom why someone would want that speed doesn't mean there aren't good uses for it.
    I really don't understand the need to say no one needs more than 640k of memory. It plainly makes you look dull.

  13. Re:Not about consumption, but about sales on NYC Loses Appeal To Ban Large Sugary Drinks · · Score: 1

    It's not about health.
    The big problem with all of this nonsense is that according to the law/rule/whatever certain companies were immune from complying.

    For instance, the local mom and pop store could not sell a 44 ounce soft drink, however the local 7-11 (convenience store) could sell it without any problems.

    Talk about corruption right from the start.

  14. Re:Solution on Amazon Dispute Now Making Movies Harder To Order · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly sure the customer is.

  15. Re:Use confiscated drugs on Botched Executions Put Lethal Injections Under New Scrutiny · · Score: 2

    I got an idea.
    Use volunteers from convicted murderers to kill people.
    That way, no one has to suffer from psychological effects except the already deranged who chose to do that.
    Sounds perfect to me.

  16. Re:Use confiscated drugs on Botched Executions Put Lethal Injections Under New Scrutiny · · Score: 1

    Just inject it directly into the heart. Like those adrenaline syringes.
    If they have a heart problem and it explodes, then success! Either way, it works.

  17. Re:As painful as it is... on Ask Slashdot: Communication With Locked-in Syndrome Patient? · · Score: 1

    if she has higher brain functions then she's not a vegetable. It might take a long time but there's a chance of recovery.
    The brain stem takes care of physical movements and automatic movements.
    She's in a stage where she's basically paralyzed from the brain down. I'm sure there's some research and tools that can help her. Probably first problem with communication.
    Here's something promising:

    Maybe instead of an animal a robotic prosthetic arm/hand.
    There's some brain mouse thing i remember seeing:
    Here's a commercial one that won't break the bank: https://www.emotiv.com/epoc/
    I'm sure there are others like it. Get the communication part down first, then go from there. Don't give up hope.

  18. Re:Just for games? on Report: Samsung Building VR Headset For Its Phones & Tablets · · Score: 1

    why not just use garmin hud or something like that instead?

  19. Re:A pretty good work device on With the Surface Pro, Microsoft Is Trying To Recreate the PC Market · · Score: 2

    So, what does a surface RT do better than an android tablet?

  20. Re:Cheap energy - just what we need... on Fusion Power By 2020? Researchers Say Yes and Turn To Crowdfunding. · · Score: 1

    Cheap and Clean energy will save nature.
    You can make the price of oil as high as you want, there will still be people using it and polluting.

  21. Re:Pff Good luck on Ask Slashdot: Easy-To-Use Alternative To MS Access For a Charity's Database? · · Score: 1

    Even with access, it takes a lot of know how to get what you really want done on the forms, even diving into vba.
    There are fields who only access excel, and there are many levels of expertise within excel from macros to vba to complete what you're trying to do. Someone who's not familiar won't be able to use it. Zero experience in databases doesn't mean they can't learn the basics to support it.

  22. Re:next 50 to 100 years? on Study: Earthlings Not Ready For Alien Encounters, Yet · · Score: 1

    It's the same reason that led them into space to begin with.
    Curiosity and a exploration nature will lead them to contact other species.
    If they're not curious about what's out there in space, why would they ever venture into it?

  23. Re:fuck slashdot beta on London Black Cabs Threaten Chaos To Stop Uber · · Score: 1

    You've been posting and posting about how awesome some cab service is.
    What's not awesome is their price or else uber wouldn't even have a market.

  25. so on The Next Unreal Tournament: Totally Free, Developed By Public · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If it's free, as in free to download, compile and use, why would anyone want to use a market place to buy and sell skins/artwork?
