  1. What a pity! on Study Shows Thumb-Sucking and Nail-Biting Can Be Good For Kids · · Score: 1

    In my childhood I bit my nails. My parents abused me and tried to wean from a habit. But if they knew about its helpfulness, their opinion had been change. Or not. Because this study colour me weird.

  2. Re:Fortunately... on Third Tesla Crashes Amid Report of SEC Investigation (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    It’s only a beginning. So your prognosis will come true. How many incidents must happen? And why we paid by blood?

  3. Re:A radical idea on Google To Train 2 Million Indian Android Developers (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Because it’s cheaper to teach than reeducate. Plus, India offers huge human potential. The Indians will choose the work in IT sphere rather than life in poorness and insanitary conditions. I think that they deserve a chance working in Google. Why not? One lazy and incompetent Indian can’t characterize all nation.

  4. Never on Ask Slashdot: How Often Do You Switch Programming Languages? · · Score: 1

    I have never switching programming languages. But does they change themselves over time?

  5. Re:No solution? Also no funny and no insightful on Do You Own Your Own Fingerprints? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course we must keep our personal information in secret. But how protect it? Multiple antiviruses, VPN services and secure browsers assure us in absolute safety. Can we believe providers? And what we must do with fingerprints? Wipe fingerprints off any spot we touched? I think that in modern world a person can’t be invisible and feel secure.

  6. Re:VPN for Private tabs on Do We Need A Better Private Browsing Mode? (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    It's vital to choose a VPN provider you trust, and who keeps no logs of your internet activity. If you are concerned about privacy then you should never pick a VPN provider who keeps logs.

  7. I remember the time when animations about Pokemon let to child mortality. Hundreds of children jumped out of a window or roofs. The history repeats itself. Do we really need in such entertainment?

  8. Re:Hey, you can do this too on Researchers Develop A Way To Stop Ransomware By Watching The Filesystem (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Also don’t visit queer websites, click on bad links on them or in email and other social media post. And do not open strangers’ messages. Especially if they seem suspicious.

  9. I'm agree. Well, be that is it may, this restriction violates rights for freedom. If you don’t use such websites - don’t do that. If you want to limit an access – go for it. One person can’t decide for everyone.

  10. Re:Welcome to 20th century? on 73% of Subscribers Would Download Netflix Content, Says Survey (allflicks.net) · · Score: 1

    Ha! And its number will grow at an exponential rate when Netflix blocks VPNs.

  11. I suppose that transportation will stand high. Even for Europeans. If this argument isn’t weighty, think about Hyperloop security. The construction will be finished round 2030. Meanwhile security measures could up the ante and become stricter. Furthermore, global policy could change the direction. And we’ll need to guard against spaghetti monster or anybody else.

  12. Manna evolution on And the Lord Said, 'Let There Be Free Wi-Fi' (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    We think that religion is a tale of past. And the idea of providing free Wi-Fi is regarded as an effort to retain some power. Yes, church wants to attract more people, increase spiritual level. But I see only good intention. No one is obliged to use Godspot. I describe this move as goodwill gesture.

  13. Mashine or life-form? on Robot Stingray Is Powered By Rat Heart Cells (ieee.org) · · Score: 2

    It’s a stunning creation. Hope that in nearest future this bio-engineering technology will be used for creation new organism and for peaceful purposes only. And I want to traverse one subject. This robot built of living animals cells. It forces a question: Is it alive?

  14. Re:Just out of curiosity on UK Bill Introduces 10 Year Prison Sentence for Online Pirates (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    I support government efforts to stop online piracy. But this amendment is injudicious. Such harsher penalty can be explained by government threatened of free speech. 10 years in prison is undesirable sentence for online copyrighting. And yes, will be better if government cares more about corruption and bribery.

  15. Re:On the contrary on Second Tesla Autopilot Crash Under Review By US Regulators (time.com) · · Score: 1

    I understand your point of view. It’s normal to make mistakes. They teach us to be more attentive and reasonable. Hope that Tesla counts the cost and takes necessary measures. Nevertheless, why innocent people going to die? This price is very high.

  16. In common, electronic noses typically are large and expensive. They are priced out of reach for ordinary person. Devices must be smaller, less expensive and more sensitive.

  17. Re:Nothing new on Apple To Encourage Organ Donation With Health App (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Totally agree. Maybe in near future someone designed an app to sell the soul. If it exists of course. Or choose new body for reincarnation.

  18. Modern panels are developed to endure ordinary hail. Panels designed around international standard can withstand hail stones travelling at 50 mph. If you live in such place and want to use solar energy – think about its protection. It’s possible to construct some protecting frames. And be sure to talk with insurance company.

  19. Suspicious purpose on Man Builds Giant Homemade Computer To Play Tetris (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There is nothing unusual about it, to be sure, our world is full of computer genius. This event attracts only for the creation purpose. But do you really think that this Megaprocessor was made to play tetris??

  20. Tight situation on UK Police Accessed Civilian Data For Fun and Profit, Says Report (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    It’s very disappoint when policemen use their employment status for racket. Every offending cop must be punished. How can we live in a world where civilians’ defenders break the low? Police officers don't all grow up in the same environments. There's many different reasons why a person may choose to become a cop. They come from different families and regions. And they are all different thoughts and needs. I suppose that dozens of police officers work for hide behind the badge and exercise power. And this percentage grows every year not only in UK, but on a world-wide.

  21. First of all, Star Trek focused on space exploration. The plot based on planetary research and contacts establishment with other races. Star Wars tells us a story about confrontation between dark and light side of the force. SW universe is ruled by force and faith in it. Because of explosions and mass destructions, Star Wars films are more fascinating. Meanwhile Star Trek try to keep or build something new. Star Wars plays into our fantasy, while Star Trek is closure to reality.

  22. Nothing unusual on Uber Plans To Start Monitoring Their Drivers' Behavior (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    It’s normal for companies to see after their workers. They promote services performance such way. As a result, they will conduct better policy. I find Uber modern and comfortable. It’s cheaper than taxies in my city. I don’t need to wait in a line. All I need is push some bottoms in the app and drivers will arrive in about 5 minutes. What is awesome that I don’t need to pay by cash. I simply get out the car. And money is written down my bank account. I used Uber many times so I can say that every time cars were clean and safe. This company provides good service. Drivers are friendly and peaceful. Another pleasant moment is different bonuses.

  23. Tell me why on China Finishes Building Its Alien-Hunting Telescope · · Score: 1

    I genuinely believe that we are not alone in the Universe. None of us can’t be sure that our race is the one and only. I support space exploration. But does people really need such constructions? I think it would be better off spending such sum of money to help our planet. I’m not a charity fan, but I like put money to good use.

  24. The future is coming on Japan Says Yes To Mirrorless Cars (carscoops.com) · · Score: 1

    The idea of using cameras as mirrors isn’t new. I heard about such modernizations in Lamborghini. But create a vehicle using any mirror look interesting. I entirely approbate any technological idea. But I have no doubt that maintenance costs would be higher, as electronic components fail over time. Maybe with time such cars will be available for ordinary people.

  25. Fence sitting on Pod Planes Could Change Travel Forever (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    I’m agree that flying is one of the safest transportation, far less dangerous than operating a motor vehicle. I can’t say that I believe the news about passenger pods modernization. I’m not good in plane construction. If developers find sponsorship and bring their idea in life, more people will be sure of plain safety. I’m fine with securing air travelling.
