  3. Yum.

  4. Re:It is 10 not 100 on Adam Lanza Destroyed His Computer Before Rampage · · Score: 1

    There are about 10000 death per firearm per year , about 3000 are murder

    Sorry, your numbers are seriously fscked up. 10,000 deaths per firearm would wipe out the US population many times over. Maybe you're trying to say, "10,000 deaths from firearms per year" ?

  5. Detective novel about this... on Is Technology Eroding Employment? · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Workaround on Engineers Use Electrical Hum To Fight Crime · · Score: 1

    For a minute there, I thought John McAfee'd been arrested.

  8. Re:Yeah but... on Flexible Phones 'Out By 2013' · · Score: 1

    How do they get all the chips to bend? RAM, Flash, SOC, etc. Or is there a non-flexible part that contains rigid/brittle components?

  9. Re:One consistent theme on Seas Rising Faster Than Projected · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just look at the Great Lakes. They stand at record levels.

    Actually, they're near record low levels due to drought.

  10. Netherlands? on With Pot Legal, Scientists Study Detection of Impaired Drivers · · Score: 1

    They must have stats on pot consumption/traffic accidents. Ask them.

  11. Re:New project on US Air Force Scraps ERP Project After $1 Billion Spent · · Score: 1

    How 'bout CRM-114?

  12. Re:I am an ATP Pilot turned computer programmer. on Airlines Face Acute Pilot Shortage · · Score: 1

    I bet money that within 10 years domestic airlines will have exclusively non-american pilots
    How 'bout... in 20 years the planes will have nopilots. Self-driving cars are just around the corner and the planes have been automated for years anyway.

  13. Monitoring tool? on Ask Slashdot: AT&T's Data Usage Definition Proprietary? · · Score: 1

    If ATT defines their caps using proprietary methods, least they could do is give you a monitoring tool which uses those methods. Then you'd know if you were getting close to the cap or not. Otherwise it's just their damn secret.

  14. Re:Simple solution... on Ask Slashdot: AT&T's Data Usage Definition Proprietary? · · Score: 1

    No, it's a relative of the shrimp.

  15. Oh, great... on Duke University Creates Perfect, Centimeter-scale Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 1

    Now I can walk around with my zipper open and no one'll notice.

  16. In other news, Poseidon has just decreed the Digital Marine Copyright Act, which expressly forbids oceanic IP theft and DNA reverse engineering by land dwellers.

  17. Re:Why coffee? Why not beer? on Climate Change Could Drive Coffee To Extinction By 2080 · · Score: 1

    Amen, brother. Not everyone has the "I love coffee taste" gene.

  18. IL: voted this morning on U.S. Election Day In Progress: What's Been Your Experience? · · Score: 1

    Chicago. Rummaged through the bill pile to find our new voter ID cards had different ward and precinct numbers. Same polling place - a restaurant down the block. Friendly staff. A LOT of judges on the ballot and a couple referenda (?) I hadn't heard about for teacher's pensions and limiting corporate political contributions. Voted on a paper ballot using a marking pen to fill in arrows.

  19. Hiring a 50-year old... on Why Coding At Fifty May Be Nifty · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The flip side of that is, who'll hire a 50-year old coder, or even keep him or her on the damn payroll? Even at reduced wages it's a crap shoot.

  20. Out the perps on FTC Offers $50,000 For Best Way To Stop Robocalls · · Score: 1

    Publish the home phone numbers of the people who run robocall businesses.

    Keep them away from strong magnets, Tesla coils, acids and bases.

    At four, I was doing NMR imaging on acids and bases, you insensitive clod!

  23. New petition needed on US House Science Committee Member: Evolution Is a Lie From Hell · · Score: 1

    Broun can believe whatever he likes but he has no business being on the Science, Space and Tech committee. And how the heck did he get an MD?

  24. Beatings will continue on Foxconn Workers On Strike Over iPhone 5 Production · · Score: 1

    until morale improves.

  25. Re:what about nuclear fusion? on Astronomers Search For Dyson Spheres of Alien Civilizations · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Although a star has a large net output, it's only because it's so big. Proton-proton fusion has a very low energy density. Though barely conceivable by today's technology, you could theoretically produce the Sun's output in a powerplant a few km across going to D-D or P-11B fusion fuel. No stars are therefore necessary. Matter-antimatter reactions would be orders of magnitude better still.
