  1. Re:Northern Sea? on Russia Builds World's Largest Nuclear Powered Ice-Breaker · · Score: 1

    Northern Sea Route. Ship route in Arctics with end points in Bering Strait, Davis Strait and Norwegian Sea. Not Northern Sea, which is part of Atlantic.

  2. Who is more vulnerable to wireless charging on Cutting the Power Cable: How Advantageous Is Wireless Charging? · · Score: 1

    Who is more vulnerable to wireless charging emissions? Some mechanical devices or life forms already suffering from radiation caused diseases.

  3. Is it just the 15.875 kg that sounds "awfully specific"?

    When documentation weights over 15 tons, you will count every kilo.

  5. Re:OK, I really don't get BitCoin... on BitFloor Joins List of Compromised BitCoin Exchanges · · Score: 1

    Heck, even illegal arms sales weren't profitable in BitCoin land!

    Well, at least you tried.

  6. Re:Unintention? Gone Awry?? Incorrectly programmed on Hugo Awards Live Stream Cut By Copyright Enforcement Bot · · Score: 1

    Talking about historical clip - we must thank NASA for not filing any copyright claim over

    They are US government agency. Do we have to thank them for following USA laws on copyrights?

  7. Re:China did the same on Russia's New Secure Android Tablet Keeps Data From Google · · Score: 1

    On the next day we have world war three and pepsi costs three kopecks after the war.

  8. Re:Sanity and a lack of mythos tentacles... on Ask Slashdot: What Should a Unix Fan Look For In a Windows Expert? · · Score: 1

    They should understand Active Directory

    They have only occasional use of Windows. No AD in that environment.

  9. Re:How about this instead... on Is an International Nuclear Fuelbank a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    Thorium can be used to produce U-233 which can be used to produce a simple bomb.

    Good luck in delivering 4+ ton weight/20kt yield bomb to any target with working anti aircraft defenses.

  10. Re:Don't browse with Java on Experts Develop 3rd-Party Patch For New Java Zero-Day · · Score: 1

    Now with dynamic HTML, Canvas, SVG, and AJAX

    Java has all app-like stuff contained in single object. All above tools only create mashed soup on top of html with different browser specific quirks.

  11. Channel One on Russia's Former KGB Invests In Political Propaganda Spambots · · Score: 1

    Looks like Channel One is useless for that. People stopped watching TV and turned to internet for news.

  12. Re:Is it too late to get UN sanctions on them? on Iran Universities To Ban Women From 77 Fields of Study · · Score: 1

    So how did a nation with such cultural depth, such delightful people, so much going for them go so far off the track.

    Fundamental islam can do a lot of things, if people let it run their government.

  13. Re:Perhaps the games suck on Ubisoft Claims PC Piracy Rate of 93-95% · · Score: 1

    Because a simple game like Minecraft has several, millions of paying customers.

    Most of minecraft players are minors. They can't pay for a game. When they grow up and get some cash to spend, they won't spend it on Minecraft. Crappy graphics are not worth it and player's visual requirements outgrow their imagination as they mature.

  14. go OR start a family on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Place To Relocate? · · Score: 0

    You can choose to relocate or to start a family and accept jobs in local area. Long distance relocation does not work well with families, if you are not from nomad culture.

  15. Re:What's new? on Facebook Faces High-Level Staff Exodus · · Score: 1

    It is not low level tech rotation. Management is leaving and four heads are doing it at the same time.

  16. Re:not about destroying on No Bomb Powerful Enough To Destroy an On-Rushing Asteroid, Sorry Bruce Willis · · Score: 1

    It will be to late to nudge it, when our current space tech reaches it. Impact would have to split it to the point where debris can be destroyed in atmosphere with hope that it does not cause another ice age. With bigger objects our chances for doing it without long term impact on biosphere are very low.

  17. Re:The ultimate in egress filtering on Iranian State Goes Offline To Avoid Cyber-Attacks · · Score: 1

    Castro is a national hero

    I have nothing against Castro. Glad to see person who can stand for interests of his country that long. I was only saying that Cuba would not need Castro, if other countries were not meddling in country's politics.

  18. Re:The ultimate in egress filtering on Iranian State Goes Offline To Avoid Cyber-Attacks · · Score: 1

    Again, don't get it. If something is wrong, it's just plain wrong.

    There is nothing wrong with Cuba. Only some bully keeps it under constant economic pressure. There would be no Castro in Cuba without USA and F.Batisto.

  19. Re:The ultimate in egress filtering on Iranian State Goes Offline To Avoid Cyber-Attacks · · Score: 1

    For your second sentence, it's the false equivalency so beloved these days. If Party A does something bad, and Party B does something bad, then Party A's evil is totally excused by Party B's actions.

    In older days people would say "pot, met kettle"

    As Cuba's government found out; you should never underestimate the ability of large numbers of USB sticks gifted by benefactors to facilitate the free flow of restricted information; it just takes a little longer, that's all.

    USA can improve information flow, if they recall embargos placed on Cuba. If Cuba is sponsor of terrorism, then its Northern neighbor is not any better.

    He left you 50M Zimbabwean dollars.

  23. speed of sound on Skydiver Leaps From 18 Miles Up In 'Space Jump' Practice · · Score: 1

    If they want to reach speed of sound, then they are not only darevils. They are idiots too. You don't have to go that high to calculate when his terminal velocity breaks speed of sound. Even 100k feet jump was 50mph (~10%) short of sound speed.

  24. Re:Dyslexic much? on Skydiver Leaps From 18 Miles Up In 'Space Jump' Practice · · Score: 1

    Funny, but there is this little annoying thing called terminal velocity. If he manages to break speed of sound, it won't be unassisted human descent and any supersonic fighter pilot can do it. Or he will have to go a lot higher and get on high calorie diet. The higher he goes the bigger chances are that he won't reach the ground without the chute.
