  1. Meat or no meat. on Indian School Textbook Says Meat-Eaters Lie and Commit Sex Crimes · · Score: 1

    OK, I know that meat is bad for the planet and bad for the body, but why does it feel good to eat it ? There must be a logical fact that keeps the meat tasty for the people. The gut and the brain know better. They might even send cravings to the consciousness that asks for nutrients that are in the meat. As same as the cravings for the sweet stuff.

  2. Re:This Will Certainly Work on David Cameron 'Orders New Curbs On Internet Porn' · · Score: 1

    It seems like a perfect excuse for installing surveillance software. Great idea of him.

  3. Re:iPhone vs Android flamewar on Android Hits 73% of Global Smartphone Market · · Score: 1

    Android has guns, the iPhone would loose with that puny flame in one shot.

  4. Tungurahua is exploding all the time. on Volcano May Have Killed Off New Bioluminescent Cockroach · · Score: 1

    Tungurahua is beautiful but not stable, the bioluminescent cockroach must have survived more eruptions than anyone can count. I bet it will survive the blast of this size too. I also bet that there are subspecies that live in a different hight, becasue Ecuador is famous for insane diversity of species. Birds can have 40 different colors in the same spot in Ecuador. Cockroaches are far more common than birds. By math alone, the cockroach must have survived.

  5. Sounds like a good target for creative commons on Free Registrar co.cc Goes the Way of the Dodo · · Score: 5, Interesting

    .CC should become the Creative Commons domain. All websites under this top level must be forcefully re-mixable with attribution. The world would be a much richer place. The creative commons movement is great and is far more profitable than the licensed content model, if you know how to use it properly.

  6. Re:How To Become a Pilot in 14 Easy Steps on Airlines Face Acute Pilot Shortage · · Score: 1

    Join the army and get it for free.

  7. Re:Drupal on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Add Forums To a Website? · · Score: 1

    Yes, Drupal beats anything in publishing, but how about just having a comment widget from Facebook or Google+. Users are happy, if they can post a few lines of text already.

  8. MAtrix is ready on Better Brain Implants With Ultrathin Carbon Fiber Electrodes · · Score: 1

    Some will see the Matrix behind this and others will see cool interfaces for disable people. Certainly a good thing, if you need damn implants in your brain.

  9. Re:Possible outcome? on China Blocks Google.com, Gmail, Maps and More During 18th Party Congress · · Score: 1

    This was actually a very bad move, since many people in China might be interested into business opportunities outside of China. They just keep hammering on people at random.

  10. Re:A sequel to the movie on New Dinosaur Named After the Eye of Sauron · · Score: 1

    Frodosaurus will be the winner of that film.

  11. Re: Robin Hood ? on Apple Loses Patent Case For FaceTime Tech, Owes $368 Million · · Score: 1

    The Patent Troll is the Robin Hood in this case. Apple is not a friendly business. Microsoft is far from being it too. I wish the EFF would make up trivial stuff and patent it for suing evil corporations later on. So that they could give the monis back to the developers.

  12. Ashholometer said NO. on Elon Musk Will Usher In the Era of Electric Cars · · Score: 1

    Elon Musk is not as much an ashhole as Steve Jobs was. One has to be ashholish to be the next Steve Jobs. Elon Musk is a geek who seems to speak positively and less arrogant than the usual bosses. I bet he is demanding, but in a polite way.

  13. Re:Time to go native? on Gabon Suspends Me.ga Domain, Dotcom Says "We Have Alternative Domain" · · Score: 1

    Yes, technically. An application could be run from the client side and pull the content from random servers. But in reality people need to click on something. An app can be blocked, a website can be blocked. Traffic can be blocked. There is no real way to hide, if you want to build something as big as he wants. He has to choose the Russian side of the Internet and be very friendly to the people who run Russia. America has limits too. You just have to know that Gabon is part of the US empire, but China and Russia are not. Forget sanity in US. They make up things and steal from you as much as they can. I was personally rubbed by the American system. They took my creative commons picture and said that it is theirs now, so they can sue anyone who has it, even my dead grandmother, if they want. The fun part was that they licensed the image from me and were customers at first, but never paid anything. Look at Apple, they buy parts from Samsung and sue them for copying their products. The American legal system is a joke. Germany is also nice. Our former head of state was working for Gazprom that he helped to get government contracts and licenses that he himself signed as the head of state. Officially there are no bribes in the clean Germany, but you can also give a speech at the company that will give you 50k or 75k and be happy after one hour. All legal, all nice. Kim Dot Com must pay to the right people, if he ever wants to play again.

  14. Pretend to become big and sell out on Should a Teenage Entrepreneur Sell Out To Facebook? · · Score: 1

    Look at Elon Musk. Start company, pretend to have big future and sell after someone says the right number. Then just do what you actually wanted to do.

  15. More than just broken. on Why Google Went Offline Today · · Score: 1

    Google keeps having error messages and random reloads on Gmail, Adsense, but not in Adwords at least. Their websites are dependent on JavaScript and the scripts can not cope with load errors, so they keep reloading the page until the servers are overloaded. I suspect that they are not aware of this too, becasue I have seen it last month already and they did nothing. I suspect that they run buggy code.

  16. Re:Runoff elections... on Actual Final Third Party Debate Tonight · · Score: 1

    Slashdot should have reported about other parties and ignore the mainstream, if America is ever to become democracy. How else is the system of political monopoly is going to end in US ?

  17. Cool and fool. on Singapore Builds First Vertical Vegetable Farm · · Score: 1

    A much better way for them would be to install solar panels on each building and sell electricity to Malaysia. Farming in Singapore is the hardest way to earn money.

  18. Banks will make money, we will loose. on Google Wallet May End Up Inside Your Actual Wallet · · Score: 1

    This will not come cheap. We have something like this in Europe already. You can load up a card for up to 200 Euros and pay by inserting the card into slots. In reality there is a hidden fee for charging the card. Mine was 15 Euros for loading 10 Euros on the card. I felt stupid after the account was charged at the end of the month. Some banks may charge the fees on an annual basis, so that customers rarely realize that they are being tricked, if they are not reading account statements often enough. It is a completely pointless system that hides the fees behind convenience. Banks never are interested in giving up transaction fees. Tap here, tap there. Insert card into slot. Real cash is still the cheapest version for small transactions. The European Commission wanted to improve the situation, but the banks are always two steps ahead of the game. They gave up transaction fees between European countries, but changed the cards to new ones that are useless outside of Europe. The new card itself is 5 Euros a month, if you want to have the same features that the old one had. The change to the new card was justified by security improvements and new features that you will have to pay for, if you ever use them. Banks are just clean bastards with money.

  19. Re:yet another solar tech not available to the pub on Solar Panel Breaks "Third of a Sun" Efficiency Barrier · · Score: 1

    Yes, you are correct. The hot water and heating is one major saver for a buildings in a colder climate. Germany has tons of products for this already. New building are often build with solar heat exchangers, becasue they are easier to be sold to customers who want to invest for long term.

  20. Good work around. on Ask Slashdot: Digital Pens On Linux? · · Score: 1

    Try Staedler USB pen that records the real pen on real paper and sends the drawing to the comp. You might be able to run their software in Wine, becasue it looked very easy and simple in the shop. I also claims to run on every Windows version, so you have high chances to get it to work in Wine. http://www.staedtler.com/digital_pen.Staedtler

    Can you please compare it with the latest Xfce and tell the good parts ?

  22. Re:Exactly What American Med Schools Want on Watson Goes To Medical School · · Score: 1

    Yes, exactly. The learning of today seems to be more about memorizing than about actually understanding. I remember that during my university years, I met a woman who did pass the most difficult exam by memorizing answers from examples and previous sample questions from previous exams. The funny thing was that she had no time for studying and did the preparation in one week, but passed with the highest score of the semester and is now an HR manager at a major German company. She claimed that she did not understand half of what she wrote down during exam.

  23. Inductive charge anyone. on Using Magnets To Interact With Your Tablet · · Score: 1

    This is great for round based games. The magnets could be great input devices, but what about the loss of memory and inductive charging ?

  24. I would suggest that it is the weight and the required speed. In reality there is no need for a purely electric plane as of now. The aviation industry could make a hybrid with solar foils that would power 10 to 20% of the flight. It would be a huge saving already.

  25. Politics are dirty on Irked By Cyberspying, Georgia Outs Russia-based Hacker · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This guy looks Georgian to me. He could be a human rights activist who is now accused to be a spy. Politics are dirty and the truth is far from what the officials say in that part of the world.
