  1. Re:Who shut down the government? on Lockheed To Furlough 3,000 On Monday, Layoffs Also Kicking In · · Score: 1

    You think this is a GAME?

  2. Re:So stop using corks on Molecule In Corked Wine Plugs Up Your Nose · · Score: 4, Funny

    All that work creates jobs. Do you want to destroy American jobs?

  3. XXX on No Child Left Untableted · · Score: 1

    Great, let's give a bunch of horny, hormonal middle schoolers a way to easily watch porn at school.

  4. Re:How is this news? on How Amateurs Destroyed the Professional Music Business · · Score: 1

    You could call it a "moo"-ving average.

  5. Re:Pffff on Student Arrested For Using Phone App To 'Shoot' Classmates · · Score: 1

    "The boy is charged with terrorizing and interference with the operation of a school."

    What's next? Arresting pre-schoolers who point a finger and go 'Bang Bang!!" ???

    You joke, but there was an incident in my region where a 1st or 2nd grade boy was suspended from school for doing just that. He had to undergo psychological evaluation and was essentially brainwashed into thinking he had committed a serious crime before he could be allowed back to school.

  6. Re:Waldo on Wireless Charging Start-Up Claims 30-Foot Radius · · Score: 1

    Remember the story "Waldo" by Heinlein

    I don't think wireless power is a good idea.

    No I don't. Care to elaborate?

  7. "Microsoft Patents Bad Neighborhood Detection" on Could Technology Create Modern-Day 'Leper Colonies'? · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure we already had this discussion here.

  8. Re: A screen on California Legislature Approves Trial Program For Electronic Plates · · Score: 1

    Or just kicking these new plates. I doubt they'd be made of gorilla glass.

    Kicking, or if the apparent physical damage needed to break the system like that is too obvious, using a blowtorch, heat gun, high voltage device, or some other means to fry the electronics inside the plate. It would be simple to ruin the entire system after it is put in place with a small number of people going out at night and damaging the electronic plates on as many parked cars as they can find. Once enough cars are damaged, the system becomes useless and people can fry their own license plates without suspicion.

  9. Re:A screen on California Legislature Approves Trial Program For Electronic Plates · · Score: 2

    On the OTHER hand... we could have assholes running around changing legitimate plates to alert that the car is STOLEN and watching while the cops use unnecessary force on innocent people.

  10. Obligatory XKCD "What If?" on Suborbital Spaceflight Picks Up Speed · · Score: 4, Informative
  11. Attention Cinephiles on HDMI 2.0 Officially Announced · · Score: 5, Funny

    I am selling platinum-tipped, lead-shielded, kevlar-reinforced Ultra Mega HDMI 2.0 cables for the low, low price of $200/ft.

  12. Re:Dwight Schultz: A-Team meets ST:Voyager on Murdoch's AP Computer Science MOOC Goes Live · · Score: 2

    Robert Picardo played Zimmerman/EMH. Dwight Schultz played Barclay.

  13. Re:Happy Labor Day from The Golden Girls! on Linux 3.11 Released · · Score: 0

    What.

  14. Re:degree != qualification on The STEM Crisis Is a Myth · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Whereas it's practically accepted that just possessing an bachelors degree in Education means that someone is qualified to teach children what they need to know to advance in STEM fields.

  15. Re:Seems inevitable, somehow. on Mechwarrior Online Developer Redefines Community Warfare · · Score: 1

    Battletoads Online!

  16. So what? on Kelihos Relying On CBL Blacklists To Evaluate New Bots · · Score: 1

    They're using these blacklist services for exactly what they're intended for: to determine if certain hosts are known to be sources of spam. It's not like they're leaking information they didn't intend to distribute.

  17. Spigot likely has the lowest credit score possible.

  18. High School Students on Slashdot Goes to the FIRST Robotics Competition (Video) · · Score: 1

    What we need is to find a way to get high school students involved in these sorts of programs. I would have loved to go to an event like this when I was still in high school, but I didn't know anything about it.

  19. Re:Interesting coincidence? or purchase tracking? on FCC Issues Forfeiture Notices to Two Business for Jamming Cellular Frequencies · · Score: 1

    From what I've read regarding unlicensed broadcasting and pirate radio, it seems that a lot of the FCC's enforcement of RF regulations begins with (anonymous) tips.
