  1. Re:Water is WET! on Rockefeller Fund Dumping Fossil Fuels, Hits Exxon On Climate Issues (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Is this a Fund that is used for tax purposes? Or is it a Fund that some of the Rockefeller's actually invest their money in?

  2. customers on Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey: the 140-Character Limit 'Is Staying' · · Score: 1

    The 140 might be staying, but the customers are going.

  3. Try it here on Are Roads Safer With No Central White Lines? · · Score: 1, Funny

    I-495. The gridlock that would occur might even be beneficial.

  4. wanted on Receiving Real-Time Imagery From Russia's Meteor-M N2 Satellite · · Score: 2

    A viewer for these images like MODIS Today does.

  5. Good reference book for material. on Before Google There Was the Chemical Rubber Company (hackaday.com) · · Score: 2

    Machinery's Handbook.

  6. Re:Democrats are authoritarians on Top Democratic Senator Will Seek Legislation To "Pierce" Through Encryption (dailydot.com) · · Score: 2

    Say's a lot that she is a "Top Democrat Senator".

  7. Really? on Prison Hack Shows Attorney-Client Privilege Violation (theintercept.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    There is usually a large sign near the phones in prisons and jails that says something like this, "Phone Use Is Recorded". In person conversations between client and lawyer are not supposed to be recored though.

  8. These is what should be used. on Sony Decides Its Waterproof Xperia Phones Are Not Actually Waterproof · · Score: 1

    Waterproof, The Coast Guard definition is found in 46 CFR 110.15-1(b)19, which states that a "Waterproof machine means a totally enclosed machine so constructed that a stream of water from a hose with a nozzle one inch in diameter that delivers at least 65 gallons per minute can be played on the machine from any direction from a distance of about 10 feet for a period of not less than 5 minutes without leakage..."

  9. The U.S. can pay it off with a 100 trillion dollar Zimbabwean note. Get change back too.

  10. lowest common denominator on Is There Too Much New Programming On TV? · · Score: 1

    One of the major problems with TV programs, is that they are made for people who buy "As Seen On TV" crap. I wonder if TV executives use a algorithm that matches the script to viewers + ability to purchase + likely to watch + likely to purchase?

  11. So what. on Data-Crunching Could Kill Your Downtime At Work · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Where management has decreed that there will not be any thing other than work on the company computers, the heads of those workers will be down looking at their smart phones.

  12. Airstreams version on Off-Grid Home Ecocapsule To Hit the Market This Year · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here is a link to a Airstream floor plan. Looks to be well thought out too. They do have a few years of learning how to do this. http://www.airstream.com/trave...

  13. Re:She won't be president on Clinton Plan To Power Every US Home With Renewables By 2027 Is Achievable · · Score: 1

    Wonder if she is heavily invested in Chinese rare earths?

  14. TRS 80-100 on What's the Oldest Technology You've Used In a Production Environment? · · Score: 2

    We had a TRS80-100 in use until around 2005, it was collecting data at a remote weather station. It was there the early 90's when I was hired, so I don't know how long it was actually in use.

  15. buggy whips on How Uber Takes Over a City · · Score: 1

    One of theses days, Craigslist Rides will come into being.

  16. A option on 3D Printed Supercar Chassis Unveiled · · Score: 1

    For $20 to 25 thousand (depending on model) you can get a Polaris Slingshot today. With approximately the same performance numbers, except top speed.

  17. Same thing only different on Privately Owned Armored Trucks Raise Eyebrows After Dallas Attack · · Score: 4, Interesting

    No one should own a bulldozer because it is almost a tank. Or cutting and welding equipment because you could armor a vehicle.

  18. other batteries on Company Extends Alkaline Battery Life With Voltage Booster · · Score: 1

    I hope that eventually this will work with 18650's as bright flashlights are battery hogs. Oh, and my mouse needs freshened Eneloop's about once a week and if this can extend the time between changes to twice that I will gladly buy a set.

  19. my stuff on Ask Slashdot: What's On Your Keychain? · · Score: 1

    Car key, car door remote, house key, Photon light, Sampo fishing swivel, P-38 and one of my dog tags.

  20. energy needed on ISS Could Be Fitted With Lasers To Shoot Down Space Junk · · Score: 2

    All the laser has to do is slow the junk down, just shining the object with the laser will impart a force which will cause a slowing of momentum. Once momentum of the object has slowed below orbital speed, it should fall towards earth and burn up in the atmosphere. Tracking should not be that hard as radar aimed weapons have been around for many years. How much energy and for how long to illuminate is up to the designers.

  21. scoring on NBC Thinks Connected Gloves and "Bullet Time" Can Make Boxing Cool · · Score: 1

    Real time scoring that is shown as soon as a point is made would be effective. Some honest judges, referees would help too. Agents and managers that did not leave their fighters destitute would also be a improvement.

  22. Including on Government Recommends Cars With Smarter Brakes · · Score: 1

    With "a third of 2013's police-reported car accidents were the rear-end crashes" how many of these occurred where there are red light cameras?

  23. loud on Ask Slashdot: Sounds We Don't Hear Any More? · · Score: 1

    The occasional sonic boom from fighters breaking the sound barrier, it has been years since I heard that while I was on land.

  24. Defense for hypersonic on War Tech the US, Russia, China and India All Want: Hypersonic Weapons · · Score: 2

    The development of non-ballistic hypersonic weapons is one of the reasons that the U.S. is heavy into making the laser weapons functional, affordable and usable. Something like the one on the USS Ponce, maybe not that one but the next generation of the weapon. Now, defense against something like Pournelle and Nivien's project Thor is another story.

  25. same card? on Comcast's Lobbyists Hand Out VIP Cards To Skip the Customer Service Wait · · Score: 1

    We need to see if there is any difference between the cards that are given to regular workers to hand out and the cards that the government-affairs team hands out. No difference, no problem. Difference, problem.
