  1. Re:Nice job editors on Amazon Prime Air Cargo Plane Crashes in Texas, Three Dead (weather.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    There is nothing about this story that even merits it being on slashdot. that is the only mistake the "editors" made.

  2. Re:Who is Stoopider? on 12-Year-Old Boy Reportedly Builds A Nuclear Fusion Reactor (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    No, it's you.

    Teens do build fusors, look it up. Very doable.

  3. wrong, Distance and size irrelevant to the truth of my statement. If the whole screen is in view, it pointless to have more pixels on screen than there are in the eye. There is no way for you to distinguish more than one pixel on the screen focused on one pixel in the eye.

    You have false statistic, the eye has only 2M "pixels", that's 6M cones divided by the 3 color types.

    You are the one making false and meaningless statements, the science of the situation is as I have stated.

  4. happened decades ago, Musk and you all missed it? on Elon Musk: Bitcoin Structure is Brilliant, But Has Its Cons; Paper Money is Going Away (ark-invest.com) · · Score: 1

    Most money is digital, not paper.

  5. errr... on Israel To Launch First Privately Funded Moon Mission (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So the Iz are going to put a thing atop an American rocket and claim they "reached the moon"?

  6. Re:Well, yes, but on Israel To Launch First Privately Funded Moon Mission (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    didn't know from Germany to England was "Intercontinental". That is scratch.

  7. of course 4K is also more pixels than you eye has, so having room for editing controls around such a video is hilarious... unless said video going to be used in circumstance where people were going to be looking at sections of it at a time. for a monitor or movie screen it's an absurdity, wasted.

  8. Actually hydrogen has two oxides.

  9. but you will, you have at most 8 decades left and then you're a goner

    (cue ominous music)

  10. I prefer double protonated oxygen myself

  11. There are not that many pixels 19 MP) in the human eye (6M cones / 3 = 2MP), it is impossible for 6K to be useful to a human in any situation except where the screen is intentionally much bigger than what the eye can view in field (planetarium, amusement park ride background, etc.)

    This is bullshit.

  12. deadly stuff on Facebook Becomes 'A Haven For the Anti-Vaccination Movement' (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    peer reviewed science shows an expected 100% mortality rate for those that get the measles vaccine, it's just as dangerous as dihydrogen oxide or facebook use

  13. Re:Signed up to go to Mars ? on Elon Musk Announces That Raptor Engine Test Has Set New World Record (space.com) · · Score: 1

    no, it's looking like more chemical rockets

    we need order of magnitude improvement in exhaust velocity for serious interplanetary travel

  14. hey I'll take that crappy car off your hands, even with capital gains tax well worth my time to resell it.

  15. aw triggered prudes are so cute on Apple Fails To Block Porn and Gambling 'Enterprise' Apps (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    Real humans like vices that upset me, waaaah!!!!

    Just think, email, browser, movie player, picture viewer, document viewer can be used FOR PORN. or TO ARRANGE GAMBLING OPPORTUNITIES. Why does Apple and google allow these perversions?

  16. Re:but i was assured on Mars One is Dead (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    that's an acceptable pointy-eared alternative to prove prowess.

  17. you'd think with all their month Apple could afford people who innovate and actually invent things. Can't remember the last time they did either...

    Yes

  20. also it's normal for big corporations to seek incentives from state, in the long run the state and population gets many times the return

  21. Re: Probably plots nicely on a curve to correlate on Americans Are Lining Up To Work For Amazon For $15 an Hour (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Amazon? I'm talking about people who would take $15 an hour jobs and are NOT low motivation losers but just happen to live where pay and costs are far different than yours

  22. Re:Freakout on Ask Slashdot: Could Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower Have Worked? · · Score: 1

    uh, that actually would fry your retina. stare into a 5 mW laser and let us know if I'm wrong.

  23. we know very well how E&M works on classical s on Ask Slashdot: Could Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower Have Worked? · · Score: 1

    we DO know how it was supposed to work, you receive remote power on every radio receiver you've ever used including "wifi"... but, at distance it isn't much given normal antenna's radiation pattern.

    so yeah, you can send power remotely. you could use focused microwave beam and even send power from solar cell satellite to collector on earth. we know how to do it, there is no mystery, there is no secret.

    oh "precedent" was set long before... but it was just a cutesy. There are bigger things to worry about with Trump than tax returns.

    Hiding? the government does get to see them

    believing any politicians promises will lead you to disappointment

    Obama was a lying sack of shit too

  25. Re: I'll believe they truly are see a crisis on A Hole Opens Up Under Antarctic Glacier -- Big Enough To Fit Two-Thirds of Manhattan (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    where I live is 600 feet above sea level. you'll notice the USA's "land" is mostly high up, that's why it's "land'. Those things we call "beaches" and "swamps" might be another story but that's the way it goes... don't live there, don't build resorts, homes and condos there... or pay the price
