  1. Week long vacation in a day? on Time Dilation Drug Could Let Heinous Criminals Serve 1,000 Year Sentences · · Score: 1

    Why bother with the criminals, our weekends could last for days with this drug.

  2. Is their site down? on The Dark Mod 2.0 Standalone: Id Tech 4 GPL Yields a Free Thief-a-Like Game · · Score: 0

    About 10 minutes after this went up on Slashdot, the dark mod website started timing out on page loads. I guess they weren't expecting traffic.

  3. Abandon real-time protection? on Ask Slashdot: Light-Footprint Antivirus For Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    I have a couple of old netbooks which have slightly better specs than the ones you mentioned. Panda was the smallest CPU footprint AV I tried. It was still too big. Now, I run Malware-Bytes every couple of days, and rely on Chrome to catch the most obvious malware attempts in the websites I visit.

  4. Recovery is the best prevention on Brainstorming Ways To Protect NYC From Real Storms · · Score: 1

    Protecting the city from a storm surge is a little small-minded. NY worst disasters have been from blizzards (1888), terrorists (2001) and hurricanes ('85, '11, '12). There is no single defense to save the city from all three. Additionally, other cities have been hit by disasters, defending each one against whatever nature can throw would be impossible. On a national level, creating a disaster 'first-aid' organization which can respond to any event is probably the most effective way to go. (FEMA isn't operating at the level, most of there work is long term recovery.)
