    if a somebody's drone was trespassing on my property I would blast it out of the sky.

    OK, let's assume there are social benefits to preventing radioactive meat. this is the reasoning behind the food codes. The question I asked, why is the german government cutting checks? why don't they just make it illegal to sell the meat?

    it's possible that an emp could trigger a volcano, so it's not as crazy as it sounds. car crash and lightning aren't connected, you're just trolling me.

    i think if there were a pyroclastic flow heading toard me I would hop in my pool and hold my breath at the bottom. then after the heat wave had passed I would climb on my roof so I don't get buried by the ash. would that work?

    isnt this what happened in pompeii? everybody got buried. that was what, 2000 years ago? what would be especially bad is if tehre were a big volcanic eruption and an emp blast at the same time, so all our electronic resources went down when we needed them most!

  6. government coddling on Radioactive Wild Boars Still Roaming the Forests of Germany · · Score: 1

    I scanned all of the comments and nobody had grabbed onto a fundamental problem in the summary. Why is the government of Germany reimbursing hunters for radioactive meat, when the chernobyl happened 30 years ago in another country? How does this make Germany cut checks? Do they also cut a check if a boar is dieseased or otherwise doesn't meet health codes?

    my motto: if a food doesn't meet health standards, then you can't sell it. I'm not going to wipe your bottom for you and buy your contaminated boars.

  7. Re:Where are these photos? on Reported iCloud Hack Leaks Hundreds of Private Celebrity Photos · · Score: 1

    well, i don't really know the behavior of iphoto because i dont use it because its so unwieldly. my motto is, if the icon has to bounce more than once then the program is too bloated.

  8. Re:Where are these photos? on Reported iCloud Hack Leaks Hundreds of Private Celebrity Photos · · Score: 0

    the pics can only end up in photostream if you download them into iphoto. even then, i'm not sure the settings about which photos go into the stream. i haven't used iphoto in years, it's a horrible bloated program. I'm excited they're jettisoning it for photos on the mac.

    YOU miss the point. pedestrians are soft and squishy and wont injure the occupants.

    I don't understand how people on Slashdot can have such a hard on for google cars but be so hateful towards uber. it's basically two implementations of the same idea, except uber is on the road today.

    who's at fault if the google car crashes into something? who has liability in the case of an accident? the vehicle occupant? the driver owner, whoever it may be? google, for making the software?

    But the worst is the "Indian Driver" mindset, especially if driving a taxi, in which there are no other things on the road whatsoever.

    keep it classy, Slashdot. Also, if I were in UK I would just take uber everywhere.

    If an autonomous car close-passes me I swear I will hunt it down and smash the fucking shit out of it, that is a promise.

    ok deal I can accept that. tentative acceptance of autonomous vehicles + excessive retribution for any infraction.

    I'm sure the car would have a flat tire algorithm, but I wonder what it would do with four flat tires. similarly, if someone bashes out its headlights and taillights, how will it know it's not driving safely.

    You must be a real car hater. Do you think you should be able to just order cars around when you are walking?

    legally, yes.

    that's a telegraphed arm signal that nobody does. it can't tell biker intentions. you don't get it because you just sit in your single occupancy car and assume everyone else does. nobody gets it.
