    If the VCs said they were interested but didn't put any money down, it's because they weren't really interested. Canadian politeness, eh?

  5. Wait a second on John McAfee's Latest Project: Shielding Against Surveillance · · Score: 1

    having set up a 'Future Tense Central' Website with a countdown clock, a sleek logo, and a set of social-media buttons.

    As far as I know, governments have access to the data behind those social medias. Maybe you click on those icons and you get yourself flagged in a special list.

  6. Re:Sounds plausible on Producing Gasoline With Metabolically-Engineered Microorganisms · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think we should have "energy farms" where we have a bunch of blokes with tubes up their arses, watching football, and drinking Guinness all day - and night. The output is then piped to these wonderful little creatures and the energy problems of the World will be solved!

    You might enjoy watching Aachi & Ssipak.

  12. Re:Skeptical... on Valve Announces Steam Controller · · Score: 1

    Maybe more gamers would use them if they were called trackboobs.

  13. Re:don't speak it on Valve Announces Steam Controller · · Score: 1, Insightful

    There's DRM on Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo consoles. It hasn't stopped people from playing games for the last few consoles generations.

    You're not impressed that a car AI can do something that most people can't?

    How do we ensure that the rights of all intelligences are protected from exploitation?

    I think we should start by ensuring the rights of human beings before anything else. Once we've done that, we'll look at AI rights.

  18. Re:What's wrong with Lua? on The Most WTF-y Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    That's not the worst part of it, their insane parsing order means that templates are a nightmare to understand. Throwing sequential parsing logic out the window and following that guide is the only way to understand what's going on.

  19. Re:What's wrong with Lua? on The Most WTF-y Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    If you think PHP is bad, go check the parsing order of ExpressionEngine.

    High frequency traders are using quantum-locked communications!

  21. Re:can I once again point out... on Somebody Stole 7 Milliseconds From the Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    Let's see if this works in reverse, too, just in case those bots parse Slashdot for grey-area information.

    President Obama has announced the USA will fund the colonization of Mars to prevent the Chinese, the Europeans and the Canadians from getting there first. The Canadians, upon hearing the news, took control of CanadArm and gave the finger to the International Space Station.

  22. Re:LOL on Somebody Stole 7 Milliseconds From the Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    If this had been a prank from Q, the whole Federal Reserve would have been thrown back a century into the past just to mess up our interest rates.

  23. Re:LOL on Somebody Stole 7 Milliseconds From the Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    Don't try blaming this on some simple technological advandage.

    You know what else is a simple technological advantage? A spell checker.
