  1. China and Russia calm down? on US Modernizes Nuclear Arsenal With Smaller, Precision-Guided Atomic Weapons (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't it America that is fighting in the most conflicts all over the world?

  2. Adapt to a particular driver's behaviors? on Consumers Expect Their Cars To Become Mini Data Centers (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Adapt to what drivers behaviors? The car will be the driver!

  3. You want to stop radicalization? on Tokyo Rose 2.0: White House Asks Silicon Valley For Terrorism Help · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Stop sending troops to kill people all over the world, in their own countries, people that are of no conceivable threat to America, and they will stop wanting to kill us.
    Mostly we do this in our economic interest. In essence, terrorism is a cost of the way we do business. If Global corporations and countries were to change to doing business ethically, no longer supporting dictators and corruption to get resources cheaper or with more assurance, their profits would go down but so would the need to strong-arm people all over the world with our armies.
    Because we don't want to stop doing business this way, we need to seek advice on how to create better ways to hold back the animosity and hate we create by our actions. But until we stop creating the animosity and hate, it will always plague us.

  4. Re:Truth on The Top Weather/Climate Events of 2015 (wunderground.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you live in a cave? The truth selling itself is so last century. Today outright lies have far more credibility.

  5. Thanks just the same but, on German Carpenter's Testicluar Valve Could Mean An On/Off Switch For Sperm · · Score: 1

    no.

  6. Does this include dev accounts on Microsoft Has Your Encryption Key If You Use Windows 10 (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    like Microsoft developers forums?

  7. Re:I think I will just buy old clunkers on Software-Defined Vehicles Will Dominate At CES (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    And this relates to vehicle software systems how? Are you saying that having lots of software driven options in a car make it safer? I propose that, unless you are referring specifically to self-driving cars (still little more than a fantasy) then lots of more software systems are simply more distractions and will result in more deaths.

  8. I think I will just buy old clunkers on Software-Defined Vehicles Will Dominate At CES (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    where the only processor is behind the steering wheel.

  9. Re:Re-Watching a Supernova on Astronomers Successfully Predict Appearance of Supernova · · Score: 1

    I'm just waiting for someone to pipe up that DM doesn't exist while not actually knowing what DM is.

    I seem to recall that nobody knows what dark matter is, thus anyone saying anything about dark matter doesn't actually know what DM is.

  10. Re:the new slow dummies in the left lane on The Humans Crashing Into Driverless Cars are Exposing a Key Flaw (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    You are funny. At the start of my commute there are hundreds, no thousands of speeding cars. There aren't enough police in all of the state to ticket those drivers.

  11. Power bars need charging? on EE Recalls All Power Bar Chargers Over Fire Safety Risk (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    What about the one I ate this morning? I don't think it was charged.

  12. Re:land of the the free ? on Go To Jail For Visiting a Web Site? Top Law Prof Talks Up the Idea (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    Most of the anti-drug crowd have never used crack cocaine or heroin either, what's your point?

  13. Re: land of the the free ? on Go To Jail For Visiting a Web Site? Top Law Prof Talks Up the Idea (slate.com) · · Score: 2

    Stealing from thieves is practically a duty.

  14. Irrelevant. You can't kill terrorism either but that doesn't stop anybody from declaring war on it.

  15. et tu Slashdot? on Untangling the Tale of Ada Lovelace · · Score: 0

    Now you load more garbage on your web page than can be hauled buy a 20 ton garbage truck?

  16. Somebody needs to on FBI: Just Don't Call Them Backdoors (networkworld.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    hit this guy with a clue stick. Asshole.

  17. Don't get your hopes up kids on Obama Administration To Offer Full Position On Encryption By End of Year · · Score: 1

    Obama talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. He is beholden to the powers that be and takes orders from them.

  18. Re:"asphalt cheaper/more effective than rails" on How Much Will Autonomous Cars Really Help? (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    Reread the list, none of those things involve riding mass transit but rather building it.

  19. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence? on Controversial Experiment Sees No Evidence That the Universe Is a Hologram (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    I never understood this phrase. If there is absence of evidence then you don't need evidence of absence. After all, if you have no evidence, then you have nothing and why should I even need to produce evidence of absence?

  20. Re:All I can say about that is on Greener Colo: Service Providers Get Serious About Renewable Energy (datacenterfrontier.com) · · Score: 1

    Oops, wrong story, this was for the He3 story!

  21. All I can say about that is on Greener Colo: Service Providers Get Serious About Renewable Energy (datacenterfrontier.com) · · Score: 1

  22. Re:I won't use a DBMS I cannot pronounce. on Why To Choose PostgreSQL Over MySQL, MariaDB (dice.com) · · Score: 1

    I treat the g as silent: post-res-sequel. The web site used to have a button 'click to hear it pronounced' but that is gone and I never used it.

  23. Nope.

  24. Re:Gets worse near the end of the article on The Story of the CEO Paying Everyone $70k Gets Complicated · · Score: 1

    Just about anywhere, including the nightly news?

  25. Must be all in their heads on Arkansas Has a Growing Population of "Climate Change Refugees" · · Score: 1

    since we all know there is no such thing as AGW. I understand the Tuamotus are being abandoned as well.
