  1. Re:Nobody actually reads them on Today, Everybody's a Fact Checker · · Score: 1

    Is up to everyone to choose to live a fantasy or take the red pill and see the hard truth, maybe fantasy will make them to feel better, but still, they should to have the option. And is something pretty common, people bet at lotto hoping for the best, even if they know that could ask someone with clue to show them their real odds of it.

  2. Re:Lesser evil -- and now a direction on US Resists UN Push For Control Over Internet · · Score: 1

    May be day, but what Russia and China does affects mainly their own citizens, or at least people/sites being in these countries.

  3. Healthy? on US Resists UN Push For Control Over Internet · · Score: 1

    An internet where US lobbiers of patents, media and others pushes their own agendas over the government that controls internet, and had so many abuses over that so far? Maybe won't be so different if the UN is in charge, but is in pretty bad shape now.

  4. Re:Dear Proprietarians and Patent Trolls on Patent and Copyright Wars Gone Wild · · Score: 2

    Is not the same "whatever the rest choose" and "specifically not those". The meaning is different, and the government and the people will be aware that things are really that bad if a good percent of the people express that they are unhappy with what both parties did so far.

    Also, you are not giving them your implicit/explicit seal of approval to whatever they will do, the worst part of being tied and punished is knowing that you gave them your consent to do so.

  5. Re:How about... on Senate Cybersecurity Bill Stalled By Ridiculous Amendments · · Score: 1

    Noone will propose that amendment, as it won't be directly related to that bill subject, so will be condemned to see the Barney marathon. Anyway, should exist a bill against such kind of inhumane punishments, but didnt got approved because the cybersecurity addendum to it.

    And that would be pretty close to a paradoxical bill, not that having logic or any pretention of making sense matter for most already approved ones anyway.

  6. Re:Let the bitching begin.... on Windows 8 Is Ready · · Score: 1

    Too bad they didnt take cues from Linux letting each user to choose the UI

  7. Re:Brace yourselves on Windows 8 Is Ready · · Score: 5, Funny

    start using it?

  8. Even if they are small/vegetarian ones on Australian Billionaire Wants To Build Jurassic Park-Style Resort · · Score: 1

    As an australian he should know the consequences of introducing a new kind of species in an ecosystem without natural predators.

    And yes, if those cause problems could introduce later their natural predators, that were bigger dinosaurs, and keep the progression hoping that a big meteorite eventually kills again all the big ones. But the real solution is not start it in the first place.

  9. To boldly go on Shatner and Wheaton Narrate Mars Rover's Landing Sequence · · Score: 1

    I wonder which future NASA project will be narrated by Jeri Ryan

  10. Weapon of choice on Teenager Arrested In England For Criticizing Olympic Athlete On Twitter · · Score: 1

    for this kind of people UK police should use Hanlon's Razor

  11. Re:Javascript turned off? on Company Claims 80% of Facebook Ad Clicks Are From Bots · · Score: 0

    You could have javascript enabled for facebook but not for the target site.

  12. Re:Here we go! on Peter Jackson Announces Third Hobbit Movie · · Score: 1

    At least you know in which direction all should be coming from. The LOTR trilogy (ok, won't be called episodes 4, 5 and 6), the original hobbit tale (that they plan to put as a trilogy) and, well, movies all around in the general Silmarillion direction that would be the hobbit prequels, with not a lot of characters reuse so probably will go to the animation road (i.e. like in Animatrix, but extended). No iterative extensions, no reboots, but in some years could come a new version based on the same books

  13. Illium/Olympus on The Future of Project Glass · · Score: 2

    If you want to go full to the future, those novels from Dan Simmons references what could be the a far future from the project glass, both from "interaction" (i.e. thinking in geometric shapes to activate some function) to going so far to become unusable (i.e. activating the wikipedia-like function to know everything in detail of what you are seeing around, at the point of becoming unpleasant to use)

  14. Re:But why? on Defcon Researchers Build Tool To Track the Planes of the Rich and Famous · · Score: 1

    What if someone do it not just for the challenge, but for profit, or with criminal intentions, or whatever, and don't publish that? You will be unaware that you (or at least, someone involved in that list) is vulnerable/tracked/etc and could not take measures against it, or at least be aware that could be done.

  15. In a sense... on The Nuclear Approach To Climate Change · · Score: 1

    ... if things get too hot (are going that way both in climate and in politics), a nuclear winter could balance a bit temperatures and amount of heat generators.

  16. Re:never write down your passwords on Ask Slashdot: What's Holding Up Single Sign-On? · · Score: 1

    You can use a password manager (i.e. KeePassX, better if it runs in multiple platforms, including your cellphone) with a master password (easy to remember for you, hard to guess/break for others) you can store your other passwords there. Won't work against a $5 wrench, but you should be able to backup that file or spread over your devices.

  17. Re:RIAA vs US gov't on F-Secure Report: Another SCADA Attack in Iran — This Time With AC/DC · · Score: 1

    Thats the genious part of the attack. Those infected computers were found playing unlicensed music, the RIAA will sue them overseas. Is a blended attack, not only just hack them, but also take out all their money.

  18. We didn't start the fire on F-Secure Report: Another SCADA Attack in Iran — This Time With AC/DC · · Score: 1

    Will be amazing the variations of the "Cyberwar, wrong" message from the government in the next months/years, specially every time a hack widespreads or they want to catch even more private information from people of all countries. The key to be the victim in any conflict is dismiss/deny every time you were the attacker.

  19. 2-way required on Spooky: How NSA's Surveillance Algorithms See Into Your Life · · Score: 1

    Who watches the watchers? Is already bad that "the government" knows, but is far worse that the people on it knows (that could use that information for personal gain or some private group interests). If this have to happen, then transparency is required. Wikileaks should not be necessary, the people, the ones ultimatelly paying their salary or at least that they should be working for, must really know what the government and the people working at it does.

  20. Re:Whereas you kept 100% revenues before... on Microsoft Lays Out Money-Making Options For Windows Store Developers · · Score: 1

    Less competition... the others won't be as crazy as you if youy port it to Metro. Also, having your app in a walled garden mean that the point zero the amount of fake apps/trojans (as opposed as that are in the web now) should be null. Of course, that probably will change with time.

  21. Re:Once the market matures on Microsoft Lays Out Money-Making Options For Windows Store Developers · · Score: 2

    Somewhat i doubt that the game "Angry Ballmers" get approved.

  22. Re:Colonization on World Population Grows Beyond 7 Billion · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Oceans and deserts are even closer, and probably the investment needed to sustain a lot of people is smaller.

  23. Religious war on Who Really Invented the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Rational people believes in evolution, not creationism. Maybe the basic dust that evolved into today's internet was created by some star X back in the old days, but since then it evolved, a lot. Is not to take out the merit of creating that original dust, but what we call internet today is a very different thing.

  24. Re:Privacy Concerns Aside on Google Wants You to Use Your Real Name on YouTube · · Score: 1

    Would you draw the line from where an annoucement of something that somehow was misunderstood means prison? Don't confuse the message with the meaning behind it. And er.. Hanlon.

    Yes, there are bad people out there, but that lines criminalizes a lot of innocent ones (and that without getting into social engineering)

  25. Re:Just like a slashdot poll on Google Wants You to Use Your Real Name on YouTube · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just don't call your son Bobby Tables
