  1. Re: He proves again... on Neil deGrasse Tyson Says It's 'Very Likely' The Universe Is A Simulation (extremetech.com) · · Score: 1

    I think you would need alot of RAM. To test it. http://downloadmoreram.com/

  2. Every single one of those fuckers has lied under oath. They're not gonna call him out on it.

  3. You too? I actually hauled out some old slashdot posts just for relief. Something about how evil APK was, because he didn't believe MyCleanPC proves cubic time in the .org domain. Oh, and goatse. I was *so* relieved to read that stuff, compared to nowdays.

  4. I wonder what these systems were protecting us from before terrorism? Also, a certain teutonic master of propaganda would be proud of that argument re sympathizers and opposition

    They already exist, they're called cochlear implants.

  6. Id bet that what the study is really showing on Americans Abandoning Wired Home Internet, Shows Study (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Id bet that what the study is really showing is that when the customer orders a new cable setup, or a triple-play, or whatever, they get the free in-home router that just happens to be wireless a well as wired.

  7. Re:BUZZWORD BINGO on Verizon and Hearst Team Up To Buy Complex Media (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I think you just won the internet for today, just having the stamina to quote that.... scuse me while I go scrub my eyes out

  8. Re:There is only one group missing out on royaltie on Music Industry Sees First Big Gains in 20 Years Thanks to Streaming Services · · Score: 1

    News to me. 30 yrs ago I went to the record store every chance I could because I didn't want to wait for my favorite stuff to be on the radio. Had a decent collection at one time.

  9. It identified Batman OK on Microsoft's New AI Mistakenly Identifies Photos, Ignores Hitler (mashable.com) · · Score: 0

    I see it identified batman OK.

  10. Re:No. on Slashdot Asks: What's Your View On Speed Reading? · · Score: 2

    Cheesy to reply my own post, but I seem to have attracted some random twink with no sense of humor and the tenacity of APK.

  11. Re:Don't be an enabler on Amazon Begins Housing Homeless In Seattle (jeffreifman.com) · · Score: 1

    NY state already does this. BUT one of the first things they do when you sign up for welfare, is to check you for drugs etc. If you have some prob they send you thru some other programs. FWIW tho, Boeing is the biggest welfare user in that area.

  12. Re:unless you're on the very young side of "teen". on Snowden Predicts Global iPhone Hack, Records Song (popsci.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ever since the whole snowden thing happened, I've been amazed at how many AC's show up in snowden-related threads. Its really interesting, almost like theres some kind of infowar going on.

  13. Cool but here's another idea on Amazon Begins Housing Homeless In Seattle (jeffreifman.com) · · Score: 1

    I call this a beginning at least. Maybe Amazon could offer jobs for the homeless?

  14. Re:No. on Slashdot Asks: What's Your View On Speed Reading? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Like you said, I think it depends on the material and the circumstances. For example, I read goatse very quickly and I couldn't close the browser fast enough. Other things, I slow down.

  15. everybody will ignore it on Drone-Shooting is Now a Federal Crime, FAA Confirms (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    Betcha this is one of those laws that everybody is going to just ignore, like jaywalking or littering. Besides I don't see how it is practically evforceable.

  16. Re:I think I found an FBI safe house. on FBI May Be Hoarding a Firefox Zero-Day (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm disappointed in you guys. Neither of those links led to a goatse.

  17. I think I can speak for most of the internet on FBI May Be Hoarding a Firefox Zero-Day (softpedia.com) · · Score: 0

    I think I can speak for most of the internet in saying "Oh, shit!"

  19. Re:Methodology on Jobless Claims In US Decline To Match Lowest Since 1973 (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    You know the area then. I really dunno what to say, I'm not in IT (just a penguin guy since 1996) I'm in manufacturing. Steel and welding and machining. So you know how that goes around here. I'm lookin real hard at Wisc. and Minnesota tho. Also upper Iowa. Iinterviewed out there in 2005 and it was a whole other world. 20+ acres with a fixer upper was less than 30k and taxes were only 500/yr. They offered the same pay back then, that I make now. I should have done it, kicking myself in the arse for not growing a pair and just doing it. But its *such* a PITA to move...

  20. Re:Methodology on Jobless Claims In US Decline To Match Lowest Since 1973 (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Just out of curiosity, what state? If you don't mind sharing that.... I'm in Buffalo NY and I can't imagine the state not being able to help out somehow, even if its just job leads. BTW housing round here isn't bad at all, property taxes are insane tho. Most expensive in the country. An original ARPAnet backbone runs right underneath us and there's a booming local computational scene to cure cancer. Plenty of network work for genomics cluster and insurance company types. Awesome food too. I totally understand that the upper midwest is way cheaper in many ways, that is my next move. Even tho I have 100% equity, it would cost more to bulldoze my house than its worth, so it makes sense to just walk away.

  21. Re:Every Intelligent person knows that on Consensus On Consensus: Climate Experts Agree On Human-Caused Global Warming (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Every "denier" or sceptic I've ever dealt with accuses the politicians of trying to monetize it, and the scientists as being on the take. IMHO its a case of projection.

  22. Its all just a redistributionist plot. Liberals never have enough of other peoples money.

  23. people are overloooking a couple things IMHO on World's Largest Private Coal Company Files For Bankruptcy (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Energy is not the only coal user. If you want to make steel out of iron ore, you will need a lot of coal.

    Historical tidbit: Peabody was an industrial powerhouse back in the days of steam. They were the coal equivalent of Standard Oil, and they became *very* wealthy.

  24. Re:The /. community does not hate Mozilla. on The Future of Firefox is Chrome (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    I'll back him up on it. I started reading slashdot every day before they had ID numbers. I was reading it on a browser called "Netscape" remember them? What used to be netscape became mozilla's codebase. And I was doing that on a linux desktop on an old 486. Everything he says is true, slashdot had a *lot* of pull in the late 1990's... what happened on slashdot was often quoted in industry magazines, and being promoted by the regular crowd here was a great way to become another dot-com startup.

  25. should concentrate on their own credibility first, then worry bout their posters.
