  1. Re:If that is true.... on Law Professor: Tech Companies Are Our Best Hope At Resisting Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Correct. At the end of the day the companies don't care about the government having the information, they just to sell it to them, not have the gov collect it on their own.

  2. If that is true.... on Law Professor: Tech Companies Are Our Best Hope At Resisting Surveillance · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... we are screwed. If our best hope against government surveillance are companies who spend most of their time collecting our information to sell to the highest bidder, then we are in for some heavy government surveillance.

  3. THIS JUST IN... on Jeb Bush Comes Out Against Encryption · · Score: 1

    ... The Internet comes out against Jeb Bush.

  4. Re:to Serve Customers Better on Regionally Encoded Toner Cartridges 'to Serve Customers Better' · · Score: 1

    And Salty as hell.

  5. Re:Already propagating on Coca-Cola To Fund Research That Shifts Blame For Obesity Away From Bad Diets · · Score: 1

    If I'm hungry and eat a handful of almonds - say 100 calories - the fiber and fat content makes me feel satiated for several hours and signals to my body that I'm full. Craves go down and blood sugar remains in a normal range.

    If every time you are hungry you eat 100 calories of almonds, you can actually begin taste the drought in California. :)

  6. Re:the partial list, for the unititiated. on Reddit Updates Content Policy, Bans More Subreddits · · Score: 1

    I'm actually fairly certain that 5 of the 6 banned subs are about Eric Cartman. That last one is just to throw people off reddit's censoring of SouthPark.

  7. Re:Forget the Drone on Kentucky Man Arrested After Shooting Down Drone · · Score: 1

    Idk, I think i'd aim at the pervert, not the camera.

  8. Payment is not my issue on Ask Slashdot: If Public Transport Was Free, Would You Leave Your Car At Home? · · Score: 1

    For me, it would not even need to be free, it would just need to be less horrible where i live (greater DC area). My commute by public transit is 1.5 hrs, or 20 min by car. Also, my car does not frequently smell of urine and vomit, the same can not be said for the metro.

  9. Re:Ikea Bekant on Ask Slashdot: Have You Tried a Standing Desk? · · Score: 1

    I was at Ikea looking at that over the weekend. I have no need for a new desk right now, but I nearly came home with it.

  10. NO CRANKS! on Ask Slashdot: Have You Tried a Standing Desk? · · Score: 1

    I have one at work. It is an adjustable one that can be raised or lowered with a hand crank. At first I was super impressed that my new office would have all adjustable height desks, but then i realized how crappy the crank is. It takes 2-4 minutes to go from standing to sitting and 3-5 the other way, and since it is a hand crank, you cant do much else while doing it. So, essentially i have a standing only desk and when my feet are tired I un-dock my laptop and sit under my desk. TL:DR= Standing is good, cranking is bad.

  11. Re:Kessel Run on Han Solo To Get His Own Star Wars Movie Prequel · · Score: 1

    Canons often fail and blow themselves to bits.

    Really? Often? No. If you wish to stay with this canon metaphor, I think you'd be better off saying something along the lines of: "Poorly designed / manufactured canons blow themselves to bits." A properly designed and manufactured canon is capable of hitting its mark with ease, with absolutely no risk of self detonation.

  12. Resounding Yes on Video Games: Gateway To a Programming Career? · · Score: 1

    I began playing video games of all types at a very young age which sparked my interest in computers. My interest in computers led me to take a CS class in HS where I had the realization that computers were more than just toys and tools for other (boring) work. I got my CS degree and now work as a software developer, and I still play a ton of video games as well.

  13. Re:This again? on New Test Supports NASA's Controversial EM Drive · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually, the test shows that is not fairies flying out of the engineer's butt, but rather invisible unicorns pushing the unit. Those tricky magical bastards....

  14. Re:When in Rome... on Ask Slashdot: Living Without Social Media In 2015? · · Score: 2

    I liken it to dinner parties and other social venues. You get invited, you may not want to get dressed up and go but you go anyway.

    Then I have elected the social media equivalent of saying I'm busy that night so i can stay home and eat pizza.... awesome!

  15. The University I went to had what the physics chair called the "wet science" building. It housed Chemistry, Biology and Psychology. His explanation for this was the fist two dealt with a fair amount of fluids and the third was watered down.
