  1. GTA on Games For Change Holds 5th Annual Festival · · Score: 1

    I heard there's this game about protecting your 2nd ammendment rights

  2. Re:Transmission? on Giant Floating Windmills To Launch Next Year · · Score: 1

    Nice, but I think they mixed up the gears. The first one should be low gear (chain goes fast, wheel goes slow) and the second high gear (chain goes slow, wheel goes fast). Or maybe it's some weird bike thing.

    The point is, they probably won't get much more than a slap in the wrists.

    2ndly. Why favouring those socalled "emerging markets" while WE had to pay full premium prices for these products? Has anyone thought of that? I think that those countries should improve their own social culture and lifestyle and hence improve life quality and associated wages without us favouring them with ultra-low prices. This is NOT fair to us. I don't want to pay premium prices so that some chinese guy can get it cheap! They already have the jobs that we used to do last year. Get wages up so that chinese ppl can pay the same prices as we do. Fair and square! So I want ppl to complain and demand REFUNDS from M$ if they go through with this! I've paid 99 euro's for my XP home If M$ is gonna sell XP home now for 19 euro's then I want a refund of 80 euro's. Period! Fair play also to us!
    You're not exactly helping if you continue to buy MS products.
    Maybe you've got some windows-only software. It's alright, Microsoft paid all the trust fines the EU imposed. Not much you can do now, except help the free software movement (this is slashdot, it's very likely you're a programmer)
  5. Re:Land, schmand. Pull it into orbit! on NASA Planning Mission To 40-Meter-Wide Asteroid · · Score: 2, Interesting

    *reads title*
    Make that 40 meters You probably wouldn't be able to see it without a telescope. Hell, I think ISS is bigger than that.

  6. Re:Land, schmand. Pull it into orbit! on NASA Planning Mission To 40-Meter-Wide Asteroid · · Score: 1

    A) Tides B) Changes to the orbits of the Earth and Moon1 C) Possible climate change due to the Moon2's shadow, etc It would take about 10^15 of these asteroids to get something near our Moon's mass. Climate change due to its shadow? You're afraid that half an hour of darkness maybe twice a year will change our climate? Besides, it's 70 meters wide
  7. Re:biased enforcement on Pirate Bay Launches Free Speech Blog · · Score: 1

    You cannot openly state to an individual that they will "roast in hell" for all eternity and then fervently "pray" to your god that they will see the "light" and conform to your traditions and valu "You're gonna rot in jail if you don't quit drugs. I hope you see the light and go to rehab"
    (Although everyone's attitude to your Christians suggests they are quite obnoxious, maybe they want people to go to hell)
  8. Re:I declare a fatwah! on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's censorship by the corporation. No, IANAL but I doubt there's anything illegal in policies like that.

    Did you even bother to read the blurb, much less the article? Read the summary? THIS. IS. SLASHDOT!

    I was stupid, in that I'd gotten the impression from TFA that NetSol had seen the film, and concluded that it incited violence against Muslims. I was wrong, and am thoroughly ashamed....
    The website they took down had a preview of the film
  11. Re:I declare a fatwah! on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 3, Informative

    They have an acceptable use policy, which they agreed to follow. Apparently, they didn't.

  12. Re:Don't they know they are unstoppable? on Swarm Robot Immune System? · · Score: 1

    Depends on your definition of robot. We've had for more than 30 years anti aerial artillery capable of shooting down enemy planes automatically.

  13. Re:CPU != BRAIN on Panic in Multicore Land · · Score: 1

    Don't know any such algorithms, but if your CPUs use the same instruction set as mine, they don't replicate the brain in any meaningful way. I disagree, because the advances we're seeing in CPU design increase speed and number of cores, but do not constitute ground-breaking brain-imitating designs.

    Remember, CPUs

  14. Re:CPU != BRAIN on Panic in Multicore Land · · Score: 1

    Please correct me if I'm wrong but I see modern computers only coming close to simulating on the most rudimentary level the functions of the LEFT hemisphere
    That's not CPU design, that's AI algorithms.
  15. Re:My Suspicion on Hans Reiser and the "Geek Defense" Strategy · · Score: 1

    I think it's just sad that just because the guy was a geek, you think it's ok for him to commit murder and get away with it. Sad. Normally I'd be all "justice" and shit, but come on! Someone has to work on reiserFS!

  19. Re:cat's in the cradle on Child-Suitable Alternatives To Passwords? · · Score: 1

    If you raise your kids right, you won't need to read their email except for special circumstances (you feel something's going wrong). Don't take candy from strangers or talk to pedophiles online. Of course, don't let them lock the box and put bios and bootloader passwords. My parents gave me this much freedom and I came out just fine *twitch*

    you'll need a team of engineers for a couple of years to develop this so that it's reliable Yeah, I'm sure you will.

    The article doesn't say 'orbit' (although the dumb joke about space junk implies it). I, for one, would love to see a bottle rocket reach space (or at least a couple kilometers)
