  1. Using a dirty bomb to trigger an overreaction in your enemy and use that overreaction to get more allys is a double edged-sword, really. Trading blows using conventional and makeshift bombs is one thing, but using a dirty "nuclear" device is clearly crossing a line. That could provide the perfect casus belli and warrant an invasion, even in the eyes of those would could side with Daesh in the first place, by virtue of the same mechanism that makes people go nuts when they hear the words "dirty bomb"

  2. Re:you never hear of having USN nuclear problems on Bill Gates Investing $2 Billion In Renewables · · Score: 1

    For the record, the operators at Chernobyl are not completely responsible for what happened, the RBMK reactor had serious design flaws, and the facility lacked containement.

  3. Re:Deep learning on Why So Many Robots Struggled With the DARPA Challenge · · Score: 1

    Ah no, damn, I was talking about the second one, which you clearly stated was old.... stupid me.

    Dude, that first video is accelerated 50 times!

  5. Re:artificial sweeteners spike insulin on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    That can be very serious, especially in children. My son has a mild hyperphenylalaninemia, which could severely impair his neuronal development if untreated. Well, there is no treatment in the strict sense, appart from thightly controlling his phenylalanine levels and since this amino acid is found in proteins, that can get tricky. One thing's for sure though, aspartame is completely prohibited.

  6. Re:Emissions displacement on In Response to Pollution Spike, Paris Temporarily Halves Traffic By Decree · · Score: 2

    About 80% of France's electrical energy comes from nuclear power plants, with fossil at under 10%. So while power plants do technically emit as a whole, the problem is largely mitigated. Now, there's nuclear waste.

  7. Re:Free? on Obama Proposes 2 Years of Free Community College · · Score: 1

    25k USD already sounds expensive to me. In my country (France) one can graduate from a very good private school for about 15k EUR (and that's a 5 year course). Or stick to the public university and merely pay a ~500 EUR fee per year, including healthcare (but excluding books of course). Then again, the US has higher ranking universities (though I'd like to see a fair comparison between average graduates from an employer's standpoint)

  8. Re:God is dead. on Science Cannot Prove the Existence of God · · Score: 1

    Most haven't seen Nietzsche's ass.

  9. Looks meh to me on Ferrari Unveils World's Fastest (and Most Expensive) Hybrid · · Score: 1

    Even the name sounds cheesy. The tech behind all this is probably nothing to scoff at, but the looks are just not what I used to like about Ferrari. I'll have a 250 GTO over this anyday (yeah that's more than 10 times the price, I know)

  10. Re:glad they opted for 3D... on Architecture Firm and ESA To 3D Print Building On the Moon · · Score: 3, Funny

    Not at all. A papercraft Moon base would have been awesome IMO.

  11. 24 comments on Solar Impulse Completes First Intercontinental Solar Flight · · Score: 1

    And still no Captain Piccard jokes. You know, I'm really getting worried about you, Slashdot.

  12. Re:suspicion of iran on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    Yet, among western countries there's massive support for Tibet, which, last time I checked, was a theocracy.

    Is the nature of the regime REALLY the ONLY problem here?

  13. Re:And I _still_ don't know... on Roland Piquepaille Dies · · Score: 1

    That's actually pretty good if you're in the south of France.

    If you're in Paris, "Peek-pie" will do.

  14. Re:Don't Follow the Link on 30th Anniversary of the (No Good) Spreadsheet · · Score: 1

    Oh God,

    Nevermind, I found out on my own. Damn it.

    Hey I've been away from /. for a long time.
    Are we cool with Roland now?

  16. *sigh* on NVIDIA Offers 3D Glasses For the Masses · · Score: 1

    Screw this shutter glass nonsense!

    The masses don't need no stinkin glasses (active, passive or whatever), what they need is autostereoscopy.

    Manufacturers have been teasing with autostereoscopic technology (I'm looking at you Philips) throughout 2008, now they need to actualy push these to market.

  17. lucky? on Meteorite Destroys Warehouse In Auckland, NZ · · Score: 1

    What if you're driving the car?

  18. Let me save you millions of years on This Is the Way the World Ends · · Score: 1

    That's because she's a spoiled bitch.

  19. Re:Not necessarily on Spider Missing After Trip To Space Station · · Score: 1

    Images like that remind me of my non-ex-wife.

  20. In space, no one can hear you shit yourself on Chandrayaan-1 Successfully Reaches 100km Lunar Orbit · · Score: 1

    Explosive diarrhea in a spacesuit, sounds like an horror movie I wouldn't want to see.

  21. Re:Trademark info on Cisco Sues Apple Over iPhone Trademark · · Score: 1

    Hmm. More like "IP Phone". No?

  22. Re:Dead Like Me on Russian Rocket Hits Wyoming · · Score: 1

    Namely, she was hit by MIR's toilet seat.
    It always cracked me up.

  23. Hmmm on Space On a Shoestring · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe that's a turban legend.

    Sorry.

  24. Oh wait! on What Is Real On YouTube? · · Score: 1

    You mean cars are not supposed to explode on impact? But it happens all the time on TV! And if it's on TV you know it's probably true.

    Isn't it?

    No, seriously. Isn't it?

  25. Re:Computers in the artic region on Frozen Chip from IBM hits 500 GHz · · Score: 1

    Because it would be too costly to have maintenance teams there every day of the year.
