  1. Re:Roll on! on The Human Body May Not Be Cut Out For Space · · Score: 1

    Because of Jupiter turning into a sun?

  2. Well, you know... on Ask Slashdot: What Does Edward Snowden Deserve? · · Score: 1

    ...deserve's got nothin' to do with it.

  3. Re:Eh? Smog is low level on Up To a Quarter of California Smog Comes From China · · Score: 2

    How do you know the sand on your doorstep is from the Sahara and not some closer sandy area?

  4. Re:Lesson from this story...don't be a glass hole! on AMC Theaters Allegedly Calls FBI to Interrogate a Google Glass Wearer · · Score: 1

    You don't think that mounting the camera on a point that's going to be constantly moving (I.E., someone's head) for 2 hours doesn't count as making the recording so degraded in some way?

  5. Re:Lesson from this story...don't be a glass hole! on AMC Theaters Allegedly Calls FBI to Interrogate a Google Glass Wearer · · Score: 2

    I know, crazy, right? It's not like the FBI is responsible for investigating copyright infringement or anything. Oh, wait. It is. While the situation was completely ridiculous, it did get to the correct party.

  6. Re:Still Disturbing on Previously-Unseen Photos of Challenger Disaster Appear Online · · Score: 1

    We were out of school (middle GA) because the temperatures had gone low enough for the diesel in school buses to gel up. I remember watching it on my couch with a stupid sort of "hey, I don't think it usually does that?" when it blew up.

  7. Man, You Guys Miss The Point on Ask Slashdot: How To Protect Your Passwords From Amnesia? · · Score: 1

    There's an awful lot of theoretically smart people here who can't seem to figure out that any scheme that requires you to know just about anything at all is not going to be appropriate for the posited memory loss scenario.

  8. Re:Use mooltipass on Ask Slashdot: How To Protect Your Passwords From Amnesia? · · Score: 2

    I think he meant THE husband / wife, I.E., dad and mom. You could just ask her when she brings down your sandwich.

  9. Re:It's not a relevant topic for Slashdot. on US Customs Destroys Virtuoso's Flutes Because They Were "Agricultural Items" · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't expect Customs to apply rules for agricultural products overbroadly to electronic devices. The one situation does not inform the other in this case.

  10. Re:In other news... 100 year old story posted to . on 100-Year-Old Photo Negatives Discovered In Antarctica · · Score: 1

    That doesn't appear much to be part of their job, either.

  11. Re:Quick... on California Man Arrested for Running 'Revenge Porn' Website · · Score: 1

    No, rules apply (theoretically, of course!) to everyone in that particular jurisdiction, be they citizens, residents, or just passin' through. Diplomats are a noted official exception.

  12. Re:Why wait until now? on Nokia Takeover In Jeopardy Due To Alleged $3.4B Tax Bill In India · · Score: 1

    No, they think they can get less. But giving someone a sticker shock heart attack and then settling for a lower amount is simply negotiation technique.

  13. Look out!

  14. Re:End of the Epidemic on Mathematical Model of Zombie Epidemics Reveals Two Types of Living-Dead Strains · · Score: 1

    The problem with The Walking Dead, at least the TV show (never read the comic) is that the writers are lazy and almost everything driving the show is a result of the near-parody level of stupidity typically shown by ALL the survivors. Building fires in the open? Camping out in tents? Not locking, or at least chaining cells of the people who could die from your mentioned virus at any minute and start eating you? Not going around armed at all times? At the end of the day, you simply have to accept that a zombie movie by definition isn't going to exhibit high levels of logic and reality. Hopefully they aren't egregiously bad such that it pulls you out of the story, but that's the risk you run.

  15. Re:End of the Epidemic on Mathematical Model of Zombie Epidemics Reveals Two Types of Living-Dead Strains · · Score: 1

    Hey now!

  16. Re:The distinction is minor on Google Nexus Gets Wireless Charger · · Score: 1

    Water resistant, maybe. If it was waterproof you wouldn't have had to worry about trying to dry it out for almost a week.

  17. Re:Very disappointing article. on Porn-Surfing Execs Infecting Corporate Networks With Malware · · Score: 1

    It's fairly obvious that those are the percentages of people who said those items were problems. It does not say that they, individually, were the worst problem.

  18. Re: Hey California, I have a solution for you on Sweden Is Closing Many Prisons Due to Lack of Prisoners · · Score: 2

    Stormtroopers aren't accurate, they're precise. ;)

  19. Re:Size, range and much hype... on North Korea Developing Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons · · Score: 1

    No no no, their main weapon is surprise, and fear. You must be new here.

  20. Re:Wow! on The Feathered Threat To US Air Superiority · · Score: 1

    Airmen are different from pilots, and planes are expensive.

  21. Re:Shoot that armed guard first. on TSA Union Calls For Armed Guards At Every Checkpoint · · Score: 1

    That doesn't make any sense, given that:

    Currently unarmed, they were primary targets of this attack, and

    Typically, people don't like to attack known-armed targets, on account of it's more dangerous. People go after weaker targets.

  22. Re:Moar tin foil! on Ask Slashdot: Where Are the Complete Hosting Providers? · · Score: 1

    If "they" break down your door, it only proves they don't care that you know. It doesn't mean at all they can't get in your house without breaking down the door.

  23. Re:Thank goodness on US Government Shutdown Ends · · Score: 1

    So, if you don't like their views, they don't count? Sure does make it easier to "win" an argument I suppose, but it's pretty poor logic.

  24. Re:Cumberbatch? Really? on Why Julian Assange Should Embrace 'The Fifth Estate' · · Score: 1

    I'm confused - are you suggesting he looks like Shatner or Montalban?

  25. Re:Sounds like.. on NSA Abandoned Project To Track Cell Phone Locations · · Score: 1

    You need to be a US citizen to have a phone working in the US? Not a non-citizen resident, not a tourist, not a businessman?

    Majority US citizens, yes...ONLY? Not even close.
