  1. Unbiased Title on Facebook Spares Humans By Fighting Offensive Photos With AI (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    And will the bots censor conservative viewpoints?

  2. What? on Uber Raises $3.5 Billion From Saudi Arabia (fortune.com) · · Score: 0

    So Saudi Arabia is shifting away from reliance on the oil industry by investing in a company that relies on gasoline? How does that make sense?

  3. Collateral Damage on Feds Admit Stingray Can Disrupt Bystanders' Communications · · Score: 1

    Not only does a Stingray impair other network user's experiences', but it tracks their usage along with the target's. There is evidence that various law enforcement agencies along with the federal government are actively taking steps to conceal the details of their use of this device from public scrutiny. The government needs to be open with their use of this device and others like it in order to prevent abuse, and to preserve American citizens' Constitutional rights.

  4. Re:And still on One Astronomer's Quest To Reinstate Pluto As a Planet · · Score: 1, Informative

    This is stupid. When the IAU conference redefined Pluto, they didn't "demote" it, they simply reclassified it to more accurately suit it.

  5. Mod points on Argonne National Laboratory Shuts Down Online Ask a Scientist Program · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    How do you get mod points?

  6. First! on Argonne National Laboratory Shuts Down Online Ask a Scientist Program · · Score: -1, Troll

    Ayye first comment!

  7. Re: Better Idea on Robot Printer Brings Documents To Your Desk · · Score: 1

    I don't know why they haven't thought of that. A printer that e-mails the printed paper. But the whole point of this is to be secure so after the paper is scanned, it needs to be shredded. As long as the e-mail is secure. But the fundamental problem is when you are printing something, you usually have it as a file and you want a physical copy.

  8. Re: Cellphones without GPS on FTC Lobbies To Be Top Cop For Geolocation · · Score: 1

    Carriers can tell where you are without GPS, by seeing how far you are from a tower, and comparing that to how far you are from another.

  9. Re: people ruin everything on The Sudden Policy Change In Truecrypt Explained · · Score: 1

    As well as food, and ammunition

  10. This was what happend 150 years be for the Matrix

    Do I have to stop?

  12. Re: light is a bully on Optical Levitation, Space Travel, Quantum Mechanics and Gravity · · Score: 1

    Thats gonna be the slogan for the futuristic band of genetically mutated vampires... In the future! You can look forward to it.

  13. The Right Person for the Job on HR Chief: Google Sexual, Racial Diversity "Not Where We Want to Be" · · Score: 1

    I support equal opportunity employers. That being said, I belive that we sould not hire someone for PR reasons. You should not discriminate someone because they are black, but you shouldn't hire them for that reason alone either. If a white male, and an African-american female apply for a job, and the white male is hired because he is better qualified, that is not racist or sexist, it is just selecting the better candidate for the job. Now this should also work the other way around as well. We should not be hiring based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or disabilities. We should hire based on qualifications (as well as a few other factors).

  14. Re: Another Goverment Run on Oregon vs. Oracle: the Battle of Blame Heats Up · · Score: 1

    How suprising, a big corporate entity failed to follow through.

  15. Ripe for the Hacking on New Federal Database Will Track Americans' Credit Ratings, Other Financial Info · · Score: 1

    Nice, this is just what we need. One data base with every American's personal information. As if identity theft wasn't easy enough.

  16. Tools and Teachers on Teachers Union: Computers Can Negatively Impact Children's Ability To Learn · · Score: 1

    Computers are tools. They are becoming more and more a part of our life. To use them well, don't use them as replacements for teachers, use them to learn about the computers; to control them. The problem isn't the computers, it's how we use them. I know I don't learn as well from a program as from a live teacher who reacts and responds, sees if you get it, and answers your questions. The point is that good teachers are better than machines at teaching, but computers are an important tool.
