  1. Re:Forgotten Silver on World's First Color Moving Pictures Discovered · · Score: 1

    LTFA reveals that the film was dated 1902.

  2. Re:It's only Natural on Scientists Themselves Play Large Role In Bad Reporting · · Score: 4, Insightful

    3 and 4 are the main reasons, 1 is subjective and 2 is outright wrong. If 2 were correct they wouldnt know how to spin things in such a way as to hide the results the way they do.
    3 and 4 are the most concerning, as that is what peer review is for and that is where there is failure due to the large volumes of data vs time.
    So, it is abused by those that just want money to do stupid things.

  4. Re:Still Wrong on Complex Systems Theorists Predict We're About One Year From Global Food Riots · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I dont think you are educated on the subject lgw.
    There is lack of food, there is an overpopulation problem, there are droughts, floods, swarms, and other natural disasters to consider.
    Also consider that obesity is a media whore, and that to become obese one needs only to eat the wrong foods, not large swaths of it.
    But go ahead, live in your fantasy world that everything is okay and "experts" are just crying wolf. But when that day comes... I told you so wont put food on your plate.

  5. Re:Which reputation? on Sir Tim Berners-Lee Accuses UK Government of "Draconian Internet Snooping" · · Score: 1

    Fundamental difference:
    Surveillance cameras are put on public streets
    Networks were built and are managed by private corporations.
    So you have two options:
    Trust your government has your best interest at heart
    Trust a business you are giving money to has your best interest at heart as it sells your info to your government
    ...I think we are screwed!

  6. Re:Well, I was forced to serve them hamburgers on Chinese Students Say They Are Being Forced To Build Your Next iPhone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ... and on my résumé, you can see I majored in slave labor ...

    And those that are aware of this should not purchase an iPhone.
    I am proud to not own an iPhone. I am proud in knowing that the % of profits from my phone are minimal and did not come from slave labor.
    Remember when people were proud to own USA items? Perhaps it is time to bring that back.

  7. Re:Samsung? on How Apple's Story Is Like Breaking Bad · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why do I feel like I am watching a bunch of hens clucking?
    Worst article and post followup in the history of slashdot....
    This is not News for Nerds, its Drama for Dorks

  8. Re:Maple Syrup Strategic Reserve? on Police Probing Theft of Millions of Pounds of Maple Syrup From Strategic Reserve · · Score: 5, Funny

    When you steal maple syrup from Canada, you see angry Canadians.
    We must record and study the Canadian in this rare form.

  9. Re:Is Bitcoin trace-able ? on Large Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme Collapses With a Loss of $5.6 Million · · Score: 4, Funny

    See, this is why regulation is bad. Bad people are prevented from setting up schemes.

    Actually, I would call the FBI and have them use it to track the perps.

  12. Re:Actual Google site on Google Launches Hurricane Isaac Site · · Score: 0

    Crisis site says if we all flush our toilets at the same time during a hurricane that Florida will be swallowed up by the ocean.
    I say we all do it at 4:20pmET tomorrow to test this theory.
    I can see it now, "Reports of Republicans yelling, 'I should have believed in Global Warming!'."

  13. Re:The PC is Dying on PC Makers In Desperate Need of a Reboot · · Score: 1

    They also make servers, outsource IT, make printers, put crapware on their builds... they will be fine given the right leadership.
    I am more concerned about those of us that build our PCs.

    Not car/motorcycle, but I have seen enough Motorcycle drivers to know that the car was most likely not at fault.
    So... where is your analogy now?

  16. Re:Great plan on Hackers Dump Millions of Records From Banks, Politicians · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How do you know it is going to ruin lives when you havent even gone through it?
    Perhaps it contains information that shows what we have been expecting all along, some of our senators are corrupt, they want to create laws to spy on everyone so that they can find people who know about them, and the same with corporations.
    Wake up people, we live in a corporate run society, we are losing freedom in the false name of capitalism, we are losing our humanity to money.

    How the conversation went:
    Did you see the latest statistics about how women are better than men?
    Yes, I am concerned, because if they are better they will get the better jobs, have more power, and start making us their bitch
    I agree, I am scared of women too.

  25. Re:We no longer regulate ads and mail order produc on Should Medical Apps Be Regulated? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually Medical apps need to be regulated because their accuracy needs to be verified.
    If an app takes metrics, the metrics must be authenticated because that metric could mean life or death.
    Those are the apps we are talking about here, not the calorie counters or shit where you input the info.
