  1. I wonder... on iPhone 7 To Start at 32GB Storage, Says WSJ (time.com) · · Score: 1

    ...if they put the extra 16GB of RAM into the spot where the headphone jack used to be...

  2. Re: An easier sollution on Ask Slashdot: Can Technology Prevent Shootings? · · Score: 1

    I purposely avoided naming any "one" religion, and also purposely underestimated the number of extremists. Everyone knows there are way more than 40-45k people out there actively planning your (and my) death over "words in a book". The point is, (besides being above your head), that even when using an absurdly, laughably low number, it still equates to over 40,000 people who truly, firmly believe that it's okay to "kill for god"...

    Don't get your panties in a bunch.

  3. Re: An easier sollution on Ask Slashdot: Can Technology Prevent Shootings? · · Score: 1

    Because for every million or so religious people who don't force their beliefs on you there are probably 10 people who are "extremists". If you count up the number of followers of "big three religions" prone to violence, you're looking at probably 40,000-45,000 people actively planning to kill you over the words "god" used when he said "Love your neighbor as yourself"...well, he said that if you're of the "christian" persuasion. Don't kill me, bro!

    Can't really get much more random than that...

  15. AnonSec = Attempted Murderers on AnonSec Attempts To Crash $222m Drone, Releases Secret Flight Videos (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    NASA uses their Globalhawk drones for Hurricane/Typhoon research which directly helps meteorologists refine hurricane tracks so people can GTFO of the way of the worst part of the storm damage via evacuations.

    No Globalhawk = less accurate hurricane track, which results in more dead humans = Attempted Murder. Find 'em. Execute them. They admitted their crimes so no need for a trial
