  1. Re:... if Android focuses on the user experience on The Android Invasion Cometh; Is Resistance Futile? · · Score: 1

    I don't understand which particular complaints you have against the Android user experience.

    I have an Android phone and I can certainly check the weather and get my email easily...

  2. Novel and cool on Robotic Hands Grip Without Fingers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's pretty freaking awesome.

    The real advances toward powered flight were when we stopped trying to imitate nature and go in a different direction.

  3. Re:Headline Is So Very Wrong on How Google Avoided Paying $60 Billion In Taxes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    These are the great weasel-words that appear in every tax debate. "10% of taxpayers". When it comes to wealth distribution, 80% of wealth in the US is held by only 10% of the population. http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/wealth.html I don't have a whole lot of sympathy.

  4. sped up video? on A 3D Lego Fabricator Made of Lego · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm sorry but I disagree that the sped up video is nothing short of impressive. Even at 16x, I quickly lost interest.

  5. too little too late on Verizon, 4G and iPhones · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Tons of people got tired of waiting for the iPhone on Verizon and had to settle for an Android phone only figure out, "Hey, this Android stuff is actually pretty cool!" and now have no desire for an iPhone. So Apple might get more of the currently-smartphoneless-on-Verizon demographic when their contracts allow them to upgrade, but I think they've lost every single one that's bought into Android up to this point.

  6. KeyesLab app? on Android Software Piracy Rampant · · Score: 1

    I'm sure something like a KeyesLab app is representative of most other apps, right?

  7. Ornithoglider on First Human-Powered Ornithopter · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So it gets towed to 20 feet and flaps a few times until it settles back to the ground. Flight? At least tow it to a certain height and flap to a higher altitude.

  8. Re:Let's get our political opinions from entertain on Stewart and Colbert Plan Competing D.C. Rallies · · Score: 1

    I don't want actors writing mission critical code for our spacecraft, and by the same token, we the voters shouldn't get our opinions from people who are paid to make us laugh, not make us see truth.

    Actually, "truth" is right in many comedian's wheelhouse. Pryor, Carlin, Hicks, Chapelle, etc... I'd venture that you'll find more truth in a comedian's routine than a 24hr cable news show.

  9. are you back, /.? on Flight Data Recorders, Decades Out of Date · · Score: 1

    Are you back? I've missed you...

  10. Re:Most states already have an "either party" stat on Court OKs Covert iPhone Audio Recording · · Score: 1

    It's not so cut and dried as that. As far as I can tell, there's a whole lot of ambiguity regarding calls between one-party and two-party states. No one really knows how a challenge would shake out. http://www.rcfp.org/taping/interstate.html

  11. Re:Most states already have an "either party" stat on Court OKs Covert iPhone Audio Recording · · Score: 4, Informative

    I admin a phone system in Idaho, a one party consent state. Basically, we can record anything without warning, even calls from two-party consent states.

  12. Re:Please don't do this....it won't end well for y on Employees Would Steal Data When Leaving a Job · · Score: 1

    You are part of the problem, jackass.

  13. Re:More than one person to blame -- that's unameri on San Francisco Just As Guilty In Terry Childs Case · · Score: 1

    QED

  14. Re:Same with music on Video Quality Matters Less If You Enjoy the Show · · Score: 1

    The old audiophile criticism applies to video as well: do you listen to the music or do you listen to the recording? People that listen to recordings care about details and quality and $500 speaker wiring.

    I guess if your attention is being consumed by a good story or song, you don't get held up by the little details.

  15. thoughtcrime on Music Festival Producer Pre-Sues Bootleggers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Fuck this, I'm moving to Belize.

  16. Re:That show has went downhill anyway on Discovery Threatens Fan Site It Also Promotes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ah yes, those important parts of our history are shown brilliantly on the History Channel... like Top Shot, Axe Men, and Ice Road Truckers.

    <spit>

  17. Re:Haha on Buried By The Brigade At Digg · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Are you kidding?! Obama has the Most Liberal Record Ever! And Kerry held that title before. And Gore before that...

  18. Re:How is this new? on Buried By The Brigade At Digg · · Score: 4, Informative

    Those global warming discussions are pretty interesting up to 3 hours after posting. Then it starts evening out with some rational discourse and some science. I'm not sure I'd call it organized but it seems pretty suspicious that the rational science loving audience that frequents slashdot would crank up the denier rhetoric so consistently.

  19. Re:Easy on Abandon Earth Or Die, Warns Hawking · · Score: 1

    I agree. In the grand scheme of things, the end of humanity in a million years isn't what keeps me up at night.

  20. Give me black and white on Why Bad 3D, Not 3D Glasses, Gives You Headaches · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'd take a black and white movie/show with a decent story over Avatar and its ilk and damn day of the week.

  21. Re:damned liberals on Obama Sets End of Iraq Combat For August 31st · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what I'm getting at! A liberal pussy like Clinton only had the ambition to station troops on the southern part of the peninsula. It takes a visionary like McCain to realize the true potential of our military by adding the northern part.

  22. damned liberals on Obama Sets End of Iraq Combat For August 31st · · Score: 5, Funny

    Real Americans don't give up so easy. A measly 7.5 years? Puhlease... If McCain had been elected we'd be there for another 7.5... along with 30 years in Iran and who knows how long on the Korean peninsula. I mean really, which party would you rather have in office?

  23. Re:hydrogen is a joke on In Oregon, Wind Power Surges Disrupting Grid · · Score: 1

    You're right, we should use the excess power to do some electrolysis, then use the hydrogen in fuel cells to do something like pumped water storage because I hear that's a more efficient way of storing energy.

  24. Re:This forgets the unintended consequences... on Airlines Get Billions From Unbundled Services · · Score: 1

    My "favorite" technique I've seen is to stash your bag in the first available spot. Sure, your seat is 33B but that bin over row 7 is open...

  25. Re:Sex Everywhere Already on Windows Phone 7 Hits Technical Preview Milestone · · Score: 1

    So the obvious conclusion is that we need better porn. I agree wholeheartedly.
