  1. A chimp shares 96% of our DNA. a cat 90%. a banana 60%.

  2. Re:Leaving artifacts for future generations on First-of-Its-Kind US Nuclear Waste Dump Marks 20 Years (apnews.com) · · Score: 2

    kind of like the rolling stone from Indiana Jones - but you cant see it, it's delayed in time and it will kill everything that you come into contact with as well. When was the last time we did not open a tomb which had warning signs with curses on it? Oh yeah, never.

  3. dune buggy on The Opportunity Rover's Final Photo of Mars (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Makes me want to drive around there in a dune buggy.

  4. but who would attempt to build this secure system? the experts? the same experts who say it is stupid and cant be done? oh, wait....

  5. Re:Please enjoy my MacOS version, too... apk on 40% of Malicious URLs Were Found on Good Domains (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    I truly believe slashdot should auto-ban any user who makes a comment with the string " apk" in it. Just look at the fucking spam all over this page. jesus christ.

  6. Re:Background Noise? on Does Listening to Music Have a Negative Impact on Creativity? (slashgear.com) · · Score: 2

    I usually don't believe in it, but I think you might be my soulmate.

  7. it definitely allows for some interesting exchanges with companies - it is always fun to ask companies for the information they stored about you under GDPR. Depending on their response you also get a feel about how often they have been asked this before. Some send "standard"-looking forms with your data, some send you weird copy-and-paste excel looking files.

  8. Re:Driving from China to Seattle on New AI Fake Text Generator May Be Too Dangerous To Release, Say Creators (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Same here. I actually thought it was a pretty cool beginning. The China thing was weird, but then again, the excerpt ends in the middle of the thought process. Whatever comes next could clarify and explain where it leads.

  9. Re:I love predictably thoughtless "problem solvers on How Arthur C. Clarke Predicted We'd Communicate in the 21st Century (paleotronic.com) · · Score: 1

    It is easy. Just mine some asteroids and....

    I have a feeling that the attitude "just mine some asteroids" might be a wee bit more complicated in practice. But I like the idea of working on an asterioid mining ship.
