  1. Re:Good call. on NSA WhistleBlower Outs Himself · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Both the best and worst-case scenario put you in jail for a good long time.

    Seriously? And those who put in place those systems shall not be prosecuted?

    Fixed the punctuation for you...

  3. Landfills...!? on Multiple Studies Show Used Electronics Exports To Third World Mostly Good · · Score: 1

    It's 2013 guys - if people around the world (and even spread it and compare it in studies) think, that landfills are a good idea and better than dumping in to the sea, it's time to get real....

  4. Same crap with Google Talk on Is the DEA Lying About iMessage Security? · · Score: 1

    I keep hitting the "off the record" option on Google Talk chats. However, I log in from e.g. an Android device and voila - the chat is back there with the chat log.

    So much about off the record.

    These companies lie to us.

  5. Re:Needing a degree? on Go To Uni, Earn a Degree In Drones · · Score: 1

    For some uf us, morality means to not even think about piloting or remote-piloting an armed aircraft, doesn't matter whether it would be for training or in actual combat.

    GP is not posting nonsense.

    There are, howewer quite a few legit reasons to pilot an unarmed and unmanned drone, be it for fun or for profit. This excludes the military, for reasons outlined above.

  6. Fire him. on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Convince Someone To Give Up an Old System? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, fire and replace him and his decade old system with something new, better, well planned. Web document stuff isn't rocket sience, so please do yourself the fun thing and fire him. Dealing with something similar here, allthough it's much more complicated and comes down to proprietary tools, software and knowledge... Fire him.

  7. Re:Most interesting part... on Curiosity Rover Makes First Foursquare Check-In On Another Planet · · Score: 3, Informative

    Last modified Mon, 1 Nov, 2010 at 14:42 Nowhere it says on that article, that it is deployed... http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/news/msl20120817.html

  8. Don't forget Fukushima on US Small-Scale Nuclear Reactor Industry Gains Traction In Missouri · · Score: 1

    While you're there, discussing new reactor designs. Thanks.

  9. From .com to .net on JotForm.com Gets Shut Down SOPA-Style · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one thinking that temporarily migrating from the suspended .com to a .net domain is probably the most stupid thing they could do? Seriously, switching from one controlled TLD to another on the same "jurisdiction"...

  10. Re:Why do I have a hard time believing this ? on US Finally Backs International Space "Code of Conduct" · · Score: 1

    I mean we've all seen Golden Eye, but apart from that one, is there some strong indication, that the US have allready deployed permanent weapons in space?

    Thanks for any pointers!

  11. Re:Watch out Indonesia on Totally Drug-Resistant TB Emerges In India · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Where did you leave your humanity? At the gate, officer?

  12. Re:Privacy on Shopping Center Tracking System Condemned by Civil Rights Campaigners · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Exactly my words. If they can pinpoint and track you through the stores over their microcells, bluetooth or maybe even WLAN (if available), then they for sure will be able to pinpoint you down once you stop at the cashier at store X and link your anonymous avatar/id to your credit card and bamm, no longer anonymous. Then they'll see what you purchased. Then they sort out what you'll buy next or likely buy next and and and.... There is big money in this. Don't use your credit card and/or switch of the cell phone if you don't wanna be tracked. Better work against it.

  13. Get a Lumix on Ask Slashdot: Mirrorless, Interchangeable Lens Camera Advice? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Get a Lumix from Panasonic, to be specific, get the DMC-LX5. Outstanding picture quality and if you need to shoot a video, it's not too bad too. The hardware flip to change from different resolutions is quite nice and the 16:9 format is just perfect for printout once back home.

  14. Re:Progress on NRC Approves New Nuclear Reactor Design · · Score: 0

    Truely passive on the blueprint. If something fails within that passive cooling, human interaction is needed. If no human interaction is possible, what then?

  15. Re:Progress on NRC Approves New Nuclear Reactor Design · · Score: 1

    Parent says "guess what" if you imagine what happens when there is no life around the plant. Imagine there's a war, all personell dead.... Think the unimaginable.

  16. Obvious Question on Ask Derek Deville About High-Altitude Amateur Rocketry · · Score: 0

  17. In other words.... on Gmail Accidentally Resets 150,000 Accounts · · Score: 1

    'nuff said.

  20. Re:Interns. on How Do You Organize Your Experimental Data? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah right, let the interns do the job. Not. Interns use new tools no one understands, then finish the project during their term, then move on and let the most probably buggy or unfinished project behind. Pitty for the person who has to cleanup the mess. Better do the job on your own, know the tools or hire someone permanently for the whole deptartment.

  21. Related to Streetview? Really? on Google Street View Logs Wi-Fi Networks, MAC Addresses · · Score: 1

    I live on a very very very remote street where they fore sure have not been driving through - I can't imagine it. And yes, the street is not yet in streetview (I know, this doesn't mean anything)...

  22. but losing streaming video would really stink

    and now you know, why they're doing this. Don't put up with this shit.

  24. Simple on Google Street View Wants You to Direct New Tricycle Imager · · Score: 1

    It should not go anywhere and Google Streetview should be kept out of those areas.
