  1. Re:don't prop up a dying market on If Ridesharing Is Banned, What About Ride-Trading? · · Score: 1

    ...

    How about you stop thinking its a brilliant idea to hop in the car with someone you've never met, no one has vetted, no one has inspected the car ...

    Do you hitchhike? Thats what this is? Do you know why your momma told you not to hitch hike? I'm fairly certain you ignored her.

    I personally am Ok with it cause the sooner people like you get killed off by some raving maniac or some poorly maintained car, the better. Unfortunately, you're the kind of asshole that'll take out some innocent family who doesn't deserve it in the process.

    He's a loud mouthed moron that thinks people who block his shitty 'send me an open proxy' email list are censoring him.

    Which will work out great ... until you end up chopped up in some tortilla bin because you got in the car with a random stranger who likes to eat people covered in hot sauce ... and of course you'll get all bitchy that the government didn't protect you from ridiculous treatment or danger because you hopped in a car that some guy hasn't bothered to put new tires on since the belting started showing through the tread last year.

    You do have a god given right to be a moron and its clear you're taking full advantage of that right.

    As a hint, bragging about it just makes you look stupid.

    The eye IS the focusing optics, you don't need a whole bunch of extra stuff, you just need to shift IR a few mm into visible and let the eye and brain do what they do.

    All slashdot summaries are misleading at this stage, why do you think Taco left?

    No really, they are stupid ideas.

    I'd be a months pay that no one at Google has any intention of using this anywhere in the real world and that this is more just something to get news hits than anything anyone actually would be stupid enough to try.

    Drones and blimps are clearly much more cost effective and reliable than say ... a simple steel tower.

  9. Good timing on Contact Lenses With Infrared Vision? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've only seen this stuff posted 100,000 times over the last 2 weeks on Google news.

    You guys ever consider just giving up and admitting you've destroyed slashdot? You seem to care more about debating star trek episodes and bragging about how awesome your shitty new UI is than actually approving news for nerds.

    STOP TRYING TO FIX STUFF, YOU CAN'T DO IT, YOU ARE INCAPABLE, and entirely incompetent of doing this. Everytime you try, it sucks far more than your last cock up.

    Hence why you have retarded 'mobile' interfaces that don't even show what you're replying to when you hit reply ... ironically, you show me a mobile UI on my iPad which has a larger display and real browser than my net top ... which has a tiny display and a craptastic Firefox version.

    The DSM ... the only thing in the 'medical' world where they change the 'diagnoses' to fit their whim. Don't like that the diagnoses it gives for the head hancho? No problem, we'll just change it, now he's perfectly normal.

    The DSM is a fucking joke for morons who don't know any better, pretty much like 99% of the people who use it as a reference in their 'practicing' of medicine.

  12. Re:A simpler cure on Daylight Saving Time Linked To Heart Attacks · · Score: 2

    That's because people punt the problem to Monday rather than adjusting over the time provided.

    The time change occurs on Sunday morning at 2am ... so thats one wake up between when the change happens and Monday. If you start prepping before the time change you still only get ... 2 wake ups to 'adjust'

    Its rather stupid to pretend that one or 2 days is a great difference in the process.

    Pretending that people actually have enough time to do so is dishonest at best.

  13. Re:Sleep -1? on Daylight Saving Time Linked To Heart Attacks · · Score: 1

    When the time change goes the other direction, people aren't forced to adjust to it instantly, and they don't. You don't immediately get an extra hour of sleep. Most people will still wake up at the original time or close to it on their own.

    Oprah has never given anyone a car.

    So basically, you're an ignorant fuck that rates right along side Fred Phelps for your ability to group people and be prejudice against them while being utterly fucking ignorant about the world and discussion in question.

    When you say republicans, you mean 'I'm a fucking moron who things my blue team is different and special and nothing like the red team'.

    You're an idiot who's fallen hook line and sinker for the politics.

    Let me guess, when you say black people, you mean those people who rape the womenz and steal/loot all the time, right? Thats basically what you're saying.

    Show us some more of your ignorant prejudice.

  18. Re:Fine, get rid of POTS, give us Net Neutrality on WSJ: Prepare To Hang Up the Phone — Forever · · Score: 1

    As a former network engineer of a very large ISP, I can tell you that when you start talking like that, its because you've already failed at your job and you're already a shitty network engineer who hasn't properly built out his network.

    Traffic shaping is a need when you oversell your services beyond the point of being able to handle your traffic properly.

    Traffic shaping of any form and network neutrality are incompatible.

    You don't need to do traffic shaping, you need to keep your links properly built up in relation to the service you're selling.

    That means you don't sell your links to 100% capacity ... or even %75 capacity. But thats what you think you do.

    Traffic shaping implies you're lying to your customers about providing them a generic pipe to the Internet.

    I hope you and your ignorance/shilling results in a nail between your eyes.

    In what fucked up world is that a fair trade?

    We paid for those copper lines, almost all of them, via the USF that they took from us without so much as asking.

    Net Neutrality is god damn built into it when they took tax dollars to build networks.

    Fuck them, and anyone else who thinks this would be 'fair', and fuck you for even suggesting such a stupid idea.

    They don't want to deal with copper ... FINE, then it becomes government maintained utility that can be leased by anyone, like it should have been from day one.

    Fair? Its mind blowing that you think thats fucking fair. How far have we sunk to where we trade one level of getting shafted for another, shitter level of being shafted and then we smile about it? No.
