  1. Let's vote on it. on Ask Slashdot: Should I Fight Against Online Voting In Our Municipality? · · Score: 1

    All in favour of him fighting online voting post Yea. All against post Nae.

  2. A decent machine on Surface Pro 3 Has 12" Screen, Intel Inside · · Score: 2

    I already own an Acer Iconia 11.3 in tablet with Core I5 chip, which I bought to view Google Play magazines that didn't display well on my Nexus 7. The Iconia tablet turned out to be a fantastic tablet that I'm very happy with. The new Surface Pro 3 seems very appealing to me as well, and has great specs. My only problem is that when you go from the 64GB model to the 128GB model they charge an extra 200 dollars. A 128GB SSD drive goes for about 100 dollars, so we are talking about a 50 dollar increase in parts that they are charging 200 dollars for. I'd want the 128GB version of the tablet, but I won't buy it when they are gaming the prices like that. I just hope the competition starts putting out more large form windows 8 tablets that are reasonably priced.

  3. Tests on men affected by the presence of a woman on Male Scent Molecules May Be Compromising Biomedical Research · · Score: 2

    I know that when I have tests performed on me, the hotter the woman the more I'm affected. Now excuse me while I hunch forward while the hot nurse takes my blood.

  4. Fun Place To Work on US Intelligence Officials To Monitor Federal Employees With Security Clearances · · Score: 1

    I can see a real drop off in the number of job applicants. The new monitoring may be necessary, but it will sure feel oppressive.

  5. Insurance Companies Will Love This on Blood Test of 4 Biomarkers Predicts Death Within 5 Years · · Score: 1

    It's already pretty crazy the number of blood and urine samples insurance companies collect before they issue you insurance. There is no way they will pass up on incorporating this technology into their tests.

  6. Don't Believe Unknown Lamer on NSA and GHCQ Employing Shills To Poison Web Forum Discourse · · Score: 1

    You can't believe anything Lamer has posted. I read that he eats baby seals and hates children. I personally have been a victim of his false accusations regarding a flock of sheep. He is actively destroying the environment by pouring barrels of oil into the rivers and salting farm fields. He wears bloomers under his clothes.

  7. Creationists Lack Faith in God on Map of Publicly-Funded Creationism Teaching · · Score: 2

    Creationism basically equates God to a Las Vegas Magician. They can't seem to believe that God is capable of making a complex system such as Evolution and instead need to provide a simplified dumb-downed theory. God, if he exists, should be insulted.

  8. Witch Hunt; Unlicensed Currency Used All The Time on Bitcoin Exchange CEO Charlie Shrem Arrested On Money Laundering Charge · · Score: 1

    There are all sorts of companies that issue their own currency. IE Canadian Tire gives away Canadian Tire Dollars that can be used to make purchases in their stores. Wouldn't these store dollars be counted as unlicensed money transmitting? BitCoin is not all that different. Seems like a witch hunt to me.

  9. They should make a Steam Machine on How Can Nintendo Recover? · · Score: 1

    Probably wouldn't happen, but it could get them back in the game with a competitive console. They make their money off of games, not consoles, so if they brought their portfolio to the Steam platform, they would be competitive again and fairly quickly.

  10. Sorry my Bad on Is Earth Weighed Down By Dark Matter? · · Score: 1

    The earth getting heavier is my fault. I need to ease up on the McRibs.

  11. NSA Sabotaging US Economy on US Spying Costs Boeing Military Jet Deal With Brazil · · Score: 2

    The unchecked spying without oversight is now leading to huge damage to the US economy. It's no wonder that IT companies like Microsoft, Google, and Apple etc.. want reform in the NSA because they stand to lose a huge amount of worldwide business after the Snowden revelation fallout. Countries don't trust the US or US based companies now and they will look elsewhere for their IT and hardware needs as evidenced by the loss of the 4.5 billion contract mentioned in this article. I'm from Canada and IT companies I work with are now trying to minimize their exposure to US software and hardware and I'm sure it's the same in other countries.

  12. Drones will be hijacked. on Watch Out, Amazon: DHL Tests Drug-Delivery Drone · · Score: 1

    So we will have junkies taking down drones for the drugs, thieves shooting down drones for new amazon kindles, and pot heads shooting down drones for pizzas. There will be hackers trying to take down the drones just because they can and it's fun. And finally you will have Libertarians shooting down the drones because they are crazy about their privacy.
    This will never work.
