  1. Ever hear of an LRAD? on Recordings of the Sounds Heard In the Cuban US Embassy Attacks Released (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    "Sound experts and physicians say they know of no sound that can cause physical damage", but there is indeed one that the japanese use on a regular basis against my Sea Shepherd comrades! It's called the LRAD. The Long Range Acoustic Device's purpose is to make sound - lots of sound. It produces very loud sound that is audible over relatively long distances. But it's not limited to producing painful noise for use as a weapon which causes disorientation. It can also amplify voices or recordings to a level that is loud and clear but not painful or debilitating. It's usually used for "non-lethal, non-kinetic crowd control". https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  2. That's very primitive thinking... on Neanderthal Ancestors May Be To Blame For Why You Can't Get a Tan (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    (snicker snicker)

  3. Just like Microsoft Paint... on Windows 10 Update Removes Windows Media Player (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    WHO are they to decide what WE want?!

  4. It's "fake news"!

  5. They do ONLY what is in their own interest... financially!

  6. That's not the MAIN mystery! on Ancient Papyrus Finally Solves Egypt's 'Great Pyramid' Mystery (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1

    They answered the easy part about how they moved the bricks horizontally. So how did these cavemen move them vertically to build something that tall?

  7. THE GODS will destroy it... on Hawaii Approves Telescope On Volcano Sacred To Indigenous People (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Then the followers will throw the telescope's designer in!

  8. Happy Birthday... on 20 Years of Stuff That Matters · · Score: 1

    ...i guess

  9. Unemployment elsewhere: on US Jobs Dropped By 33,000 In September, Likely Due To Storms (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    This'll make you feel better, or worse... Afghanistan 35%, American Samoa 50%, Kenya 42%, Senegal 48%, Yemen 35%, Syria 40%, Zimbabwe 95%

  10. You mean Farcebook... on Google and Facebook Failed Us (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    ...and Gargle

  11. It's a trap! on Saudi Arabian Textbook Shows Yoda Joining The UN (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The farce is strong with this one...

  12. They said it'd be "different" and "original"... on 'Star Trek: Discovery' Premieres Tonight (ew.com) · · Score: 1

    So THAT was the best they could come up with to accomplish it? A woman captain isn't a new idea, but an Oriental one is. A black second-in-command... who is also a woman. That's new, but why does it always have to be about race and/or sex? Are there no other original ideas? (Note: Klingons aren't a new idea, and neither is changing their appearance... as we all know) Oh Gene, where are you when we need you :-)

  13. We don't need cash... on Ask Slashdot: Why Do So Many of You Think Carrying Cash Is 'Dangerous'? · · Score: 1

    i've been saying it for years. Go 100% digital. It'll help cut down on crime and loss. There's no downside http://www.newser.com/story/18...

  14. We're teched up... on PC Shipments Hit the Lowest Level In a Decade (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Hardly need a PC with what phones can do today :-)

  15. New study? on New Study Confirms the Oceans Are Warming Rapidly (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1
  16. They'll say it's not proof of extraterrestrial life, even if they believed it is, just to keep people calm. Only last week, there was a report that astronomers were looking at a distant star and something passed in front of it and momentarily blocked their view of it. It wasn't "natural", because it came back passing the opposite way, which astral bodies can't do, and even changed speed.

  17. They probably did even more... on Ohio Government Websites Hacked With Pro-Islamic State Messages (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Massive Ransomware Attack Spreading Around the World http://www.newser.com/story/24...

  18. Such enlightened people. on Man Sentenced to Death For Blasphemous Facebook Comments In Pakistan (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    So sweet. So decent. Why wouldn't we embrace them coming to live their lifestyle in the U.S.? We should welcome Shariah Law in America, right? http://www.newser.com/story/24... (and why not? Don't you want to wear a mask?)

  19. Why is this even allowed? Who else could it benefit but THEM? How do they get away with it? Are they bribing the FCC?

  20. This will create another Snowden... on After London Attack, PM Calls For Internet Regulation To Fight Terrorists (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Or as i call him, Snowflake. Sure, a country's Constitution guarantees the freedom to share more information in the public, and the right to free speech is great... but NOT when it will cause a danger to National Security. The info Snowjob likely possesses is probably EXACTLY the kind of stuff al Qaeda wants leaked out so they can learn better of how to successfully find ways to kill Americans at will. Not to mention, maybe names and locations of counter-terrorism spies that the U.S. has out in the field infiltrating the ranks of those would-be murderers. People want to complain about the NSA and allegedly "spying" on them, but then they'll also complain about not feeling the government is doing enough to protect them from al Qaeda! The NSA is not "hiding" anything, but they'll be truly ineffective if EVERYONE knows what they're working on. They're not interested in photos of your baby or mom's recipes. Has NOBODY stopped for a moment and asked "why" the NSA has been doing what they're doing? Did people think the authorities use magic to uncover terrorist plots? Which would you prefer, "spying" on you or terrorism on you? Special Ed (a high school drop-out) did what he did for the fame (for the escape from obscurity that everyone wants... although most average people simply use Facebook).

  21. It's quite a different education, though!

  22. Robots will be seen by employers as the labourer that is even CHEAPER than hauling in Mexicans: https://hardware.slashdot.org/... You buy them once, and never pay them... just like slavery.

  23. There's big money in movies! on JRR Tolkien Book 'Beren and Luthien' Published After 100 Years (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Will this book make the cut? Time will tell...
