  1. Re:But in a cruel twist of fate, on One In Five Sun-Like Stars May Have an Earth-Like Planet · · Score: 1

    So much for intelligent life... on THIS planet.

  2. Re:I thought as a condition... on Snowden Publishes "A Manifesto For the Truth" · · Score: 2

    He had released all the documents he had to Journalists in Hong Kong, before he went to Russia. So what we are seeing now are just being leaked by journalists. "Snowden told The New York Times in an interview published last month that he gave all of the classified documents he had obtained to journalists he met in Hong Kong, before flying to Moscow, and did not keep any copies for himself."

  3. Re:clemency? on Feinstein and Rogers: No Clemency For Snowden · · Score: 1

    I thought part of his deal with Russia was that he'd not release any more information? What we are hearing now is just what the media is releasing.

  4. Re:Version Numbers on CyanogenMod 10.2 M1 Released · · Score: 1

    It would make sense for them to match release numbers up with the Android version numbers.

  5. Re:What is the use of being better Driver? on Google: Our Robot Cars Are Better Drivers Than You · · Score: 1

    If only it worked that well... we'd have flying cars that go .25 light speed :)

  6. Re:Yup, and it doesn't matter. on Google: Our Robot Cars Are Better Drivers Than You · · Score: 1

    And you're too ignorant to think that autonomous cars won't be able to recognize signs of wear and tear, and NOT IGNORE them like many humans do, thinking they'll check it out when they have time.

  7. Re:Yup, and it doesn't matter. on Google: Our Robot Cars Are Better Drivers Than You · · Score: 1

    SOME people like to drive. They like to buy new cars, repair old cars, and do stupid things in fast cars. There, fixed that for ya... Don't assume everyone drives for the same reasons.

  8. Re:Bragging about torture on Citizen Eavesdrops On Former NSA Director Michael Hayden's Phone Call · · Score: 1

    Evidently you never got the context. You can't sell something you don't own... that's the point.

  9. Re:Breaking News on Dick Cheney Had Implanted Defibrillator Altered To Prevent Terrorist Attack · · Score: 1

    I dunno George, who is the Scarecrow? Wait a minute... I'M George!

  10. Re:"Reasonable" a la carte prices? on Are Cable Subscribers Subsidizing Internet-Only TV Viewers? · · Score: 1

    Probably referring to services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, maybe Amazon Prime.

  11. Re:SATURN !! THE GOD OF WAR !! on Saturn In All Its Glory · · Score: 5, Informative

    Mars is the God of War. Saturn is the Roman God of Agriculture ;)

  12. Easy Target from orbit. on A Peek At Apple's Planned $5B HQ · · Score: 1

    all in the subject...

  13. Delaying start of new job. on Slashdot Asks: How Does the US Gov't Budget Crunch Affect You? · · Score: 1

    I got a very nice job offer 3 weeks ago that involves government security clearances. The shutdown has brought this process to a crawl. I've been out of work for 2+ years, it would be nice to have income again.

  14. Re:Someone didn't read the screen, methinks. on LinkedIn Accused of Hacking Customers' E-Mails To Slurp Up Contacts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Exactly my thoughts. You can have LinkedIn import your email contacts for 'contact suggestions' https://www.linkedin.com/fetch/importAndInviteEntry?trk=nav_responsive_sub_nav_add_connections These people probably did this and forgot that they did so.

  16. Re:Need to diffuse the light a bit... on Illuminating Window-Less Houses With a Plastic Bottle · · Score: 1

    I didn't mention bleach? I did RTFA :)

  17. Need to diffuse the light a bit... on Illuminating Window-Less Houses With a Plastic Bottle · · Score: 2

    Great idea and implementation... at least where you have the type of roof where it can be used. One modification I would add would be to add something to the water in order to make it just a bit cloudy... this would diffuse the light a bit more. Of course, depending on the plastic, it may cloud up as it ages in any case, or start with cloudy plastic (i.e. plastic milk bottles).

  18. Re:Parasites on What's Stopping Us From Eating Insects? · · Score: 1

    Proper cooking will eliminate worry of parasites (think pork and trichinosis... just cook it well and no worries).

  19. Re:Good Question on What's Stopping Us From Eating Insects? · · Score: 1

    "And since there's no hair they're easy to prepare for the oven." Perfect ending to a very reasonable post :)

  20. Simple... Ick factor on What's Stopping Us From Eating Insects? · · Score: 1

    Most/all of us in the US are brought up to think insects and similar animals are "icky and gross" No wonder we wouldn't want to eat them.

  21. no celebration here... no job! on How Are You Celebrating National Sysadmin Day? · · Score: 1

    Have been looking in SoCal for 18+ months... job market sucks!

  22. Re:"we now know" or "we hypothesize" on Ancient Mars Ocean Found? · · Score: 2

    Actually there's plenty of evidence of water on Mars... get your facts straight.

  23. Id10T error at its finest! on Got Malware? Get a Hammer! · · Score: 2

    With users like this, who needs Malware?

  24. Why so concerned about it being 'secure'? on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Store Data In Hard Copy? · · Score: 1

    What information is so important that you have to deal with it in this fashion? Just curious...
