  1. I guess you would bill the cost of athletics to the courses and degrees that athletes mostly take? So, probably not engineering and hard sciences.

  2. Re:Treason ain't what it used to be on President Obama Commutes Chelsea Manning's Sentence (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree that whistle blowing is not treason. However, I'm not sure if dumping 700,000 documents counts as whistle blowing. I know it might be difficult, but the individual (or group) doing this needs to be selective with released documents, only releasing those directly related to the wrongdoing that they are trying to expose. If they dump to much, and get someone killed (for something unrelated to the wrongdoing), I don't think they can get a pass for that.

  3. How do targeted ads relate to privacy? on WhatsApp, Gmail Roped Into Tougher EU Privacy Proposal (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    If only you are seeing the ads, are targeted ads an invasion of privacy?

    Should be easy to verify... and would be very funny. :)

  5. Yes, if you don't confiscate the server while delivering the subpoena, good luck...

  8. Don't want to wear the glasses. on Ask Slashdot: Why Did 3D TVs and Stereoscopic 3D Television Broadcasting Fail? · · Score: 1

    Yup, glasses.

  9. It seems we are on the path of replacing the burning of carbon-based fuels with solar (and others). Do we still need to throw a massive wrench into our economy, or have we solved the problem?

  10. Can we stop worrying about global warming now?

  11. Darn, I hope this didn't invalidate any of those carbon credits that I bought.

  12. I've never actually bought an Apple product and I certainly don't consider myself an Apple "fanboy." However, this article is just dumb.

  13. So, the money taken in from the sale would be up for grabs?

  14. That's if this was an actual bankruptcy. If the Pebble owners sold, thinking they made a profit, they may be rudely surprised.

  15. Wouldn't sale of these assets be complicated by the bankruptcy?

    Maybe half that? I'm guessing the numbers are peak output.

  21. Eats, shoots & leaves. ;)

  22. Does this mean that every nuclear power plant is "too big to fail," with each installation possibly representing a trillion+ dollar liability?

  23. Randomly correct? on Google Search Results Have Liberal Bias, Study Finds (thedenverchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    With just 4 people, it seems like a randomly correct result.

  24. If Trump undoes executive actions and throws decision making back to Congress, hasn't he done a good thing?
