  1. wow! Unabashed arrogance who would have though??? on 'The Internet Needs More Friction' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    So this privileged male of European decent (Justin Kosslyn) thinks he or people just like him, should be allowed to take control over tax-payer built internet (Throttle speed) and discriminate based on income, ethnicity, gender, or what ever. So he can feel safer, like In the old days. Maybe like when we had "Jim Crow Laws" those good old days? I mean when you consider context clues like the history of our country. I can't be sure but this sound familiar. as for internet throttling my view is (If it ain't broke, don't fix it)

  2. Maybe yes Maybe no Poor Heart Health on Skipping Breakfast May Be Linked To Poor Heart Health, Study Says (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    As a small child I learned being able to eat when your hungry is good . Being hungry and not having food is bad. As I got older I learned going without food when your body needs it is unhealthy as are a lot of things. preliminary findings although perhaps interesting are not definitive. In fact as the article stats its more likely linked to poor lifestyle. Another misleading title and a scathing indictment of our current level journalism. among other things.

  3. First off, the title in a misquote. Operating on "short sleep" or not enough sleep is what the article was about. second, no new information here other than the author gave an interview. and apparently the title insights an emotional reaction in some people, even if its just comedic. begs the question is old news better than no news? P.S. I'm pro comedy :)

  4. Try somthing outside your norm. on What Are Some Documentaries and TV Shows That You Recommend To Others? · · Score: 1

    Try TV Shows or Documentary in a genre you're interested in but from a different culture or language. There are subtitles now. Also it kinda opens the whole world to you.

  5. What's The Best Geeky Gift For Children? on Ask Slashdot: What's The Best Geeky Gift For Children? · · Score: 1

    As a kid, I made most of my own toys from cardboard, Popsicle sticks, toothpick, and twist ties with scissors, tape, glue and paint. And I could make just about any toy I had seen on TV commercials. Radio Shack and The Comic Book Store were my go to places. The best geeky gifts I remember as a kid from younger age to older age are: 1. Lego's and playmobil toys 2. electric train set 3. A clear plastic model of internal combustion engine and transmission with working stick shift (had to turn the fly wheel by hand) and 4. A Book of science fiction short stories. That said, I left out things like Walkie Talkies and Camera, do to the cell phones of today, not to mention PCs and Video Game Consoles. It really depends on the child's age and their interests. So my advice would be to just ask the child what things they like geeky or not. Keep in mind science, technology, engineering, and math. apply to just about every thing.

  6. Re:Koenigsegg on Camless Internal Combustion and the Digital Age (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    thanks, I just read there using voice coils or some such thing. :) It would be interesting to know what setbacks they are encountering. Now if the can just switch to hydrogen instead of fossil fuels. :D

  7. It's possible I would say on Camless Internal Combustion and the Digital Age (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I try to read slash-dot every day... Never posted before. :) If I understand your post? I would say electromagnets coupled to the valves would be the answer. It's possible to digitally controlled electromagnets instead of a camshaft. P.S. let me know what you think?
