  1. Re:Simple, politically incorrect solution on Star Wars Producers Want a 'DroneShield' To Prevent Leaks On Set · · Score: 2

    So get the local group of "merry men" to have some fun with LongBows.

  2. Re:Great one more fail on High School Student Builds Gun That Unlocks With Your Fingerprint · · Score: 1

    Might i suggest the following??

    1 When the kidlet can walk holding a rifle without using said firearm as a support start with a rifle with no firing pin and teach the very basics of firearm safety (including not pointing it at things you don't want to break/destroy)

    2 when thats "done" start with Prone/SingleShot lessons WITH "BLANK" AMMO introduce how to breakdown and clean the rifle at this point

    3 when thats "done" swap to LIVE ammo (kidlet should be taller than the rifle at this point)

    4 Continue adding new "stuff" like Kidlets own GunSafe/Rifle more "fun" targets and maybe Pistols as desired

    N take your Young Citizen to the local Gun Store and do an Introduction. (does a cased/broken down 30/30 fit into a duffle bag with a Tutu??)

  3. Re:There are ways of posting bad reviews on Hotel Charges Guests $500 For Bad Online Reviews · · Score: 1

    Or how about "staying in this hotel reminds me of a Song from a French Broadway Play"

    the song in question of course being Master Of the House from Les Mis

  4. Re:More NIMBY on US Army To Transport American Ebola Victim To Atlanta Hospital From Liberia · · Score: 1

    I wonder how hard it would be to outfit a C-5 (or C-130s) with a M*A*S*H type setup??

  5. Re:Er, that's a bit confusing on The Problems With Drug Testing · · Score: 1

    which is why we need to make sure the Shelter Network can actually handle the number of Homeless in a given area.

    Its common for a Shelter to have a time at night you have to check in by so you have at least one time in 24 hours you know where a person is.

  6. Re:I must be the outlier on Comcast Confessions · · Score: 1

    easy way to handle this

    involve either a Priest or a Lawyer in the process (bonus points if you have BOTH).

    Okay Your Honor i have here a written statement from Father Smith and Mr Jones Equire stating that on the X day of the Y Month in the Year of Our Lord two thousand and Z the three of us visited the retail location and 1 returned the company owned equipment 2 canceled the service.

    Assuming that Comcast even shows up this is an open and shut case.

  7. Re:Real life is complicated on Suddenly Visible: Illicit Drugs As Part of Silicon Valley Culture · · Score: 1

    yeah it can cause folks to say

    " ive taken a poll and 75% of us think you are a fracking idiot!!!"

    get all of him friendly and then worry about what drugs a dude is taking (hint use your drug book to find LEGAL versions to do the switchover).

  8. Re:For software developers on Apple Refutes Report On iPhone Threat To China's National Security · · Score: 1

    there are a number of places that sell girls ballet costumes that could be used to distract somebody with security clearance therefore we must monitor/regulate access to these stores selling "terror supplies"!

    just about anything can be somehow used to "violate National Security" with minimal work and the correct context.

  9. In health care?? on Ask Slashdot: Replacing Paper With Tablets For Design Meetings? · · Score: 1

    I would suggest using tech in 2 different groups

    1 where it is absolutely needed: As you can see in this video patients that have a combined Coughing Fit and Projectile Vomit episode are spraying material beyond ....

    2 Only when you can justify putting said tech in a BURN BAG with the rest of the stuff from case 1

    just remember paper can be put in a Burn Bag without having to file an EPA damage report.

    If you actually need to use tech then plan on having meetings to

    1 agree on a solution
    2 actually implement said solution

  10. Re:Distinct DNA on U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Religious Objections To Contraception · · Score: 1

    actually i would work this from the other side

    we need to sort out how to remove and then support prenatal infants so that we can remove the "Danger to The Mother" part of the equation.

    Of course i would also propose a 3 Strikes and Your OUT!! policy where if a young man "collects" a Third "Baby Momma" he gets banned from the game (and has his "bat" removed to enforce this).

    but then im a Conservative Baptist WOLF with anger issues.

  11. Grace Hoppper would be PISSED on Girls Take All In $50 Million Google Learn-to-Code Initiative · · Score: 3, Insightful

    She would most likely start cutting down one of her microseconds to strangle some folks. We don't need to do stuff like this we need to get kids to learn from the beginning that

    1 Girls are not SEX OBJECTS
    2 Smart and Pretty are not exclusive of each other
    3 Some girls can do Math and some boys can't do Math (and science and tech and...)

  12. Re:ooh ive played this game before. on Cable Companies Duped Community Groups Into Fighting Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    as as a cable tech (being paid by the hour) i reserve the right to

    1 spend extra time doing the job because i had to stop every 10 minutes to catch my breath

    2 accidentally miss wire your setup to give my fellow (nonallergic) tech a swing at a service call

    3 tick that Job Required Uncovered Labor [X] box and add $40.00 to your bill

    4 not complete the job at all and tick the Customer Denied Needed Access[X] box

    5 just about anything else i can do to F4 with you (and get away with it)

    Nothing says "Your Forces are not big enough" like blotting out the sky with your fighters (and breaking windows with your flyby).

  14. Re:Sweden's elite on Seattle Approves $15 Per Hour Minimum Wage · · Score: 1

    "I'm also thinking of getting a band of kids dressed in rages to surround limos on Park Avenue to beg for money. "

    some nice cheap Ballet outfits would be good for RAGES (i think you meant rags with no e). have em dance about your "stage" with signs asking for money/sponsors.

  15. Galaxy of WRONG here on Ask Slashdot: Taking a New Tack On Net Neutrality? · · Score: 1

    If you actually block legit sites unless those sites pay you for access.

    1 they will go off campus for access when they need it
    2 if any of those schools are or have a brother/sister college that "does law" they will spin up a Class Action Lawsuit in DAYS

    In short if you like what a chicken looks like after being sucked into the engines of a C-5 then go ahead and BE THE CHICKEN!!

    Safer would be to make sure than "friendly sites" are always fast.

  16. the way it should be for TOFC type stuff on Security Researchers Threatened With US Cybercrime Laws · · Score: 1

    mock up a few copies and then dare folks to hack it (sort by remote and physical access type hacks)

    when you get something that can stand up to a decent number of hacks (remote hacks that require you to be on the same subnet on a blue moon with Big$ tool between the hours of 22:00 and 23:59 and the product needs to be in mode X and physical hacks that would be obvious don't count) then you as a last check put up a BIG$ bounty on hacks.

    Then you can release a cyber product targeting children.

  17. Re:Doesn't seem like a difficult question on Kids With Wheels: Should the Unlicensed Be Allowed To 'Drive' Autonomous Cars? · · Score: 1

    this is where a LEO car should be able to engage a FOLLOW ME type mode to get the car somewhere safe i could see it as

    1 the car detects "driver failure event" (everything from just nodded off for several seconds to full cardiac arrest)
    2 the car then enables the hazard lights slows down to safe minimum and sets off the "driver in distress" beacon
    3 the nearest LEO car then links in and starts guiding the car off the road.

    this works just as well with an organic driver as a non-organic driver

  18. Re:...but that doesn't explain... on Gun Rights Groups Say They Don't Oppose Smart Guns, Just Mandates · · Score: 1

    okay the biggest problem with any kind of Total Gun Control is

    Show of "hands" here how many of y'all have access to both a chem lab and a metal shop??

    and how many of y'all have access to a "stash" of ammo and guns in an "undisclosed location"??

    with a good chem lab making the primers/charges is dirt simple
    with a good metal shop making a gun and ammo is not even dirt simple.

    Yes My Friends if push came to shove we would have AKs for Days

    gee what would they call it when a chunk of WING falls off the plane?? (this assumes said "chunk" is not the entire left/right wing)

    yeah the 18000 word document that exactly NOBODY reads completely and competently.
