  1. Re:For those of us alive when this was launched, on Voyager 1, So Close To Interstellar Space That We Can Taste It! · · Score: 2

    With the way things are built these days. If Voyager I was launched today, it would last about 2 years and just days after the warranty ran out.

  2. Re:Generation Gap? on A Brain-Based Explanation For Why Old People Get Scammed · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Only during the early TV years did everyone seem so honest and wonderful. Leave it to Beaver, My Three Sons and about a million other goody goody TV shows makes the newer generations think that life back then was so golly gee whiz good. There never was a Mayberry and people were just as dishonest then as they are now, the internet just allows us to see it more often.

  3. Re:Did Zuckerberg ever have to get past HR? on Just Say No To College · · Score: 1

    My GF's daughter goes to a certain BIG RED college in the midwest. One of her biggest complaints is that she's never met most of her instructors. The tenured instructors end up having disposable H1B teach the classes. Most of the time the students can't even understand the H1B "teacher" due to heavy French, Indian accents. It's hard for the students to actually think if they can't understand what they are supposed to do.

    Good morning Fruit Loops.

    WWII showed us all that Europe was not capable of standing up for themselves.

  6. All automated car scenario on How Do We Program Moral Machines? · · Score: 1

    From what I can think of, an all automated car scenario would have a lot less issues to deal with vs. a partially automated scenario. Automated cars don't have the "need/urge" to speed, change lanes and speed by because someone ahead is doing 1/10 of a MPH slower than them. Automated cars will most likely have sensors that detect when a light is going to change, it should also detect if something is stopped in the road ahead of it so it can adjust speed/lanes etc and be able to transmit this information to other vehicles. What does need to happen is all automated car manufactures need to be held to a strict set of communication standards which allows say a Ford Autoauto to talk with a Toyota Autoauto.

  9. Re:About fucking time on Honda's "Micro Commuter" Features Swappable Bodies · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the greedy fat bastards don't want you to have a cheap interchangeable replacement that you can do yourself. They want you to take all of your car problems to their "certified technician" so they can charge you an ungodly amount to change out some simple piece of plastic that is just a hair different than last year's simple piece of plastic.

  10. Re:simple solution on Ask Slashdot: How To Catch Photoshop Plagiarism? · · Score: 1

    Simple, the image that the student has to photoshop is a picture of themselves..... unless the class has twins or triplets etc.....

    Yes it can. Go to McDonalds sometime and give the cashier more money than was requested and ask for them to count out the change. BAM!!! BSOD!!!

  13. Re:Hell, that's nothing! on Mike Storey and His Plate Reverb (Video) · · Score: 1

    I think I saw those at Best Buy next to the gold plated HDMI cables.

  14. Re:They don't like autohop? on Fox's Attempt To Block Ad-skipping TV Recorder Autohop Fails · · Score: 1

    What really pisses me off is not only the ads but when the station has those annoying ads pop up on the bottom of the screen during the show. Especially when the ad is 1/3 the size of the screen.

  15. Re:SELL OUT NOW! on Should a Teenage Entrepreneur Sell Out To Facebook? · · Score: 1

    They say that money can't buy happieness.... I know I'd sure feel much better laying on the beach in the Caribbean drinking fruity drinks with beautiful women all around me.

    When I upgraded to ICS I was able to remove NFL Mobile, Let's Golf and Blockbuster.. I believe I had to remove updates first though.

  17. Re:Misguided... on The Survival Machine Farm · · Score: 1

    Cut down that low yield field of corn and grow industrial hemp (not the kind you smoke) and you'll probably produce 25 times the amount of biofuel than that crap called corn.

    Laws can be bought for the right price. Get the chips started in school. Get people used to them. After a generation, everyone has a chip... No chip, no purchase, no access, no nothing.
