  6. Re:Hand over your fingerprint! on Apple Unveils iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S · · Score: 1

    LOL..

    New fingerprint should not be present in our dictionary.
    You cannot use any previously used fingerprints.
    Fingerprints should not have any repeating patterns.
    Fingerprints should have at least 120 lines and must contain one Arch, one Loop and/or one Whorl pattern.

    Also Why not have lawsuits against NSA and force them to pay the civil damages for spying on american people.

  8. Re:Free Market? LoL on How Car Dealership Lobbyists Successfully Banned Tesla Motors From Texas · · Score: 1

    I think Tesla has a better image now than its initial days.

    Why can't they allow Dealers to sell Tesla cars in Texas and open their own stores as well? Even if dealers don't want sell their cars they can always sell it through their own stores.

    If SpaceX were building electric rockets I am sure Texas would not have let them in

    How would the energy bill be distributed Or we would have to encrypt the wireless power !

    To all slashdot experts.. How do I edit or delete a post here ?

  15. Re:Where's the led notification? on Apple Unveils iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S · · Score: 1

    You will have to keep your phone with front facing up to see the notification. I wouldn't prefer that.

  16. Re:Wait on Can Even Apple Make a Watch Insanely Smart? · · Score: 1

    I think for Samsung watch is purely a marketing strategy to sell more of its big phones like the Note which people might not want to carry in their pockets and can keep in their bags +$300 watch.
    I think watch is terrible for phone calls unless used with bluetooth headset, for which you don't need a watch.

    For Apple it wouldn't make any sense to make a watch but they can definitely sell it as they are very good at design because watch has become essentially more of a fashion than a time keeping device. They had it with the previous generation iPod nano, they just had to add bluetooth. I don't think Apple should waste their time in watch. They should spend their RnD in something more advanced like Google glass technology. Google glass has potential for more natural interaction with us than watch if they can somehow control it using our brain pulses. Now Google glass definitely has some privacy concerns and eye strain issues but from a future perspective I think glass is a better wearable device to invest in than a watch.

  17. Re:No on Making a Case For Cyberwar Against Syria · · Score: 1

    "War speeds up advances in both science and technology." WHY?

    Because the governments give more priority to use science and technology for war rather than peaceful and useful purpose. They just have to change their priority then you will not need War to speed up scientific advances.

  18. Re: No on Making a Case For Cyberwar Against Syria · · Score: 1

    " 1/2 the G20 agrees the case is strong that Assad's people did the gassing." IS NOT EVIDENCE, That's an opinion.

  19. Extentions in Epic on Epic: A Privacy-Focused Web Browser · · Score: 1

    I just gave Epic a try...

    In Proxy settings it says "Your network proxy settings are being managed by an extension."
    In Extensions link it says "Epic does not allow extensions for security & privacy reasons e.g. read this (right click and open in a new tab)"

    So what extension is managing network proxy settings? I don't trust this browser any more than Chrome.
