  1. Re:Themes... on Ask Slashdot: How To Start With Linux In the Workplace? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Like switching from XP to 8, that will be quite a shock.

  2. Re:How did this go to trial? on Drone Pilot Wins Case Against FAA · · Score: 1

    Rules are very clear, you need permission to fly commercial drones. The only drones that can get licence is experimental and military/police drone or somewhere far away in boonies, like Alaska. There is no commercial permit for drones that most people are interested to get. Like photographing a house for sale. Even Amazon could no get it, all those videos filmed elsewhere.

  3. Re:Why are 3D printers so exciting? on $499 3-D Printer Drew Plenty of Attention at CES (Video) · · Score: 2

    I would say 3D printers are at the stage where "micro" computers were in early 80's, yes there were big expensive real computers and almost a toy for home use that you often needed to assemble by yourself. Did majority need computer then, no; today, well who doesn't have smartphone.

  4. Re:Unauthorized export resale? on New Hampshire Cops Use Taser On Woman Buying Too Many iPhones · · Score: 1

    Lets follow this chain of evens
    - person comes into your shop and want $16,000 worth of products
    - you say no
    - they don't leave
    - you call police
    - they taser

    Wouldn't be easier to just sell?

  11. Re:Just make it clear: is it an ad or not? on How Much Stuff Can Timothy Jam Into His New Hoodie's Pockets? (Video) · · Score: 1

    You missed geek connection under key features PAN Personal Area Network. But I do agree with sentiment, this felt like those "review" of books that post only table of contents.

  12. Re:I'll never know on 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons Announced · · Score: 1

    Try Fiasco, no gm, 3 or more players and all characters end in jail, dead or insane. Think of any movie that went terrible wrong, you are playing those characters. There is even a version where you play monsters while Harry Dresden from Dresden Files is hunting you.

  13. Re:Why Permissions for showing item in movies? on Warner Bros Sued For Pirating Louis Vuitton Trademark · · Score: 1

    Just to make sure if I understand, lets say I film a car, so if I don't film manufacturer logo it is ok, but if I do than I am in trouble? Can actor refer to the car's manufacturer if you don't show logo? How this type of Intellectual Protection works for books, graphic novels, photography? It looks very murky to me.

  14. Why Permissions for showing item in movies? on Warner Bros Sued For Pirating Louis Vuitton Trademark · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why it is required permission of the manufacturer to show item in the movie? Second if item is going to be destroyed wouldn't it be expected for fake to be used? Is it legally required or "keep court away".

  16. Re:Ughh on A 9V Battery To Your Brain Can Improve Your Gaming · · Score: 1
    Damage from electricity:
    1. muscle contraction, this one everybody guess
    2. thermal, it creates burns depending on its pathway through body, depends on time, and Ohms law
    3. gas embolism, remember what happens when you put electricity in water and humans are over a half - water.

    So to create damage to a human you need:

    • voltage to overcome human natural resistance, if I remember safety standards 25V wet, 50V dry
    • current, less than 3mA tingling, over 1500mA tissue burn
    • time under current

    Question for experts: effects of frequency
