    VLC has scripting a function

  2. If the facebook algo were to crow a clue.. on Facebook Launches Advanced AI Effort To Find Meaning In Your Posts · · Score: 1

    It wouldn't consider a network containing groups like Occupy, UK Uncut and the Venus project as marketing leads for high interest predit cards, shady forex brokers or shares in Amazon.

  3. I miss pandora on Why iTunes Radio Could Take Down Pandora · · Score: 1

    Thanks to the greedy bastards at the BPI who priced them out of the UK.

    What they really couldn't stand was a competitor to their pay-to-play model which ensures their 'investment' gets played 4 times a day on a ubiquitous medium.

  4. Meanwhile in Britain on Ask Slashdot: How To Diagnose Traffic Throttling and Work Around It? · · Score: 2

    Ministry of Defence (UK) employees spend £40000 on illicit use of the speaking clock.

    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/387357/Two-years-after-the-Fukushima-nuclear-disaster-is-Japan-facing-a-cancer-time-bomb

    "Most worrying are the results of tests carried out on more than 130,000 children who lived around Fukushima. More than 40 per cent have the early signs of thyroid cancer, while other forms of the disease may not become apparent for a decade."

    And before you write of a source as radical, treehugging or liberal. I chose the express as a thatcherite newspaper with a pro nuclear history. Politics proven by poetry.

  10. Find students with an interest in computer science

  11. Just send Slashdotters on Mars Explorers Face Huge Radiation Problem · · Score: 1

    The majority of us seem to be immune to radiation at any level thanks to the obligatory XKCD shielding.

    Also as a demographic, /.ers are least likely to need uncorrupted genetic material to pass on to the next generation.

  12. Posterboy for corporate failure on Ask Slashdot: Can Yahoo Actually Stage a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    Once upon a time... one website was so well funded and ubiquitous it was like it was like hotmail, ebay, facebook, match.com, with the social vocabulary of youtube. all rolled into one.

    Somewhere along the line they have been reduced to paying Murdochesque sums for last-gen products. having destroyed everything it ever created for itself.

    At least the extra special yahoo trolls are still around

  13. Re:What about the other half on "Dramatic Decline" Warning For Plants and Animals · · Score: 1

    one half relies on the other - its called an ecosystem.

    For example.. coral bleaches and dies (due to temp and PH change) - fish lose their habitat or breeding grounds - top predators (humans) starve

  16. Orbital Construction on Speeding Object Makes Small Hole In the ISS Solar Array · · Score: 1

    If it could be used as raw materials, its value (and cost of processing) would compete with payload costs.

    at least for now, collect it into larger, manageable chunks.

  17. one again on No Porn From Public WiFi Hotspots In the UK Proposed · · Score: 1

    our idiot leader wants to censor the internet with magic and kittens

    What are the chances of finding precambrian life or its descendants in the deep ocean?

  22. counter productive on No "Ungoogleable" In Swedish Lexicon, Thanks to Google · · Score: 1

    When a trademark becomes part of the lexicon it has a certain status. A legacy that lives on beyond the product. think Hoover, Kilner, Tilley or Roomba. all became de-facto names for the innovation. You cant just buy this shit

  23. Re:Vodo on Indie Horror Film Shows What You Can Do (And Get) For Free · · Score: 1

    Vodo is the real reason big media wants to shape traffic.

    and so it should be. dont like it? stop with the audio and flashsurbation.

  25. Its a trap on Ask Slashdot: Projects For a Heap of Tech Junk? · · Score: 1

    CRTs are a curse - either to the community it gets dumped in, or the person paying or disposal. The glass is infused with lead. Separating this responsibly is energy and cost intensive. If they are destined for landfill, everybody concerned ought to be shot in the groin... Twice. Same goes for Flouro tubes which contain mercury.

    On the other hand, Circ boards and CPUs have reclamation value and libertarian types have taken to hoarding PM bearing scrap. Just look on eBay to gauge market and *perceived* value. Anything other than desktops are labour intensive. Beware the dust from old PCs which contains degraded fire retardant which is now banned as a carcinogen.

    Dont fuck with DIY Aqu-Regia, mercury or cyanide treatment. Leave the lethally toxic to the professionals. You will improve yield/cost and life expectancy.

    If you can use the components for fun or profit more power to you. Just be aware that high voltage caps from CRTs and PSUs can hold charge for years, so take care when assembling that home-made Tesla coil.
