  1. Re:Adolph Hitler would be proud on Blueprints For Taming the Climate Crisis · · Score: 1

    Hitler was a nationalist, not an internationalist. So your point makes no sense.

  2. Re:Do your own part, start today at home on Blueprints For Taming the Climate Crisis · · Score: 1

    Problems of the commons cannot, by definition, be solved by the actions of individuals.

  3. Re:Test for something that cant be proven, great i on The Lovelace Test Is Better Than the Turing Test At Detecting AI · · Score: 1

    "Syntax error on token "=", = expected" or "ReferenceError: Invalid left-hand side in assignment"

  4. Re:Who cares? on Facebook Fallout, Facts and Frenzy · · Score: 1

    Apparently there is nobody on slashdot with any experience with the ethical requirements of doing psychological studies. Psychology is just not STEM-y enough, maybe.

  5. Re:Asians need not apply on Google Is Offering Free Coding Lessons To Women and Minorities · · Score: 1

    Asian women still count as women though, presumably.

  6. Re:"White Male" isn't the issue here... on Tech Workforce Diversity At Facebook Similar To Google And Yahoo · · Score: 1

    Because white privilege, duh.

  7. Re:SO on Tech Workforce Diversity At Facebook Similar To Google And Yahoo · · Score: 2

    Asians are the invisible demographic.

  8. Re:SO on Tech Workforce Diversity At Facebook Similar To Google And Yahoo · · Score: 1

    Asians are invisible, I guess.

  9. Re: Nice to see. on Toyota's Fuel Cell Car To Launch In Japan Next March · · Score: 1

    You could be being silenced by the conspiracy to keep people from realizing that energy and wealth have an equivalency. (That conspiracy wants you to believe the economy is a thermodynamically closed system of labor and capital.)

  10. Re:This doesn't necessarly shut it down on Supreme Court Rules Against Aereo Streaming Service · · Score: 1

    Apparently what makes a crucial difference is the length of the delay: "Justice Breyer stressed that the decision said nothing about downloading a TV program in order to recover it and keep it on hand for somewhat later viewing."

  11. Re:Zediva all over again. on Supreme Court Rules Against Aereo Streaming Service · · Score: 1

    But your logic does not explain why the length of the delay makes a crucial difference: "Justice Breyer stressed that the decision said nothing about downloading a TV program in order to recover it and keep it on hand for somewhat later viewing."

  12. Re:Wrong decision on Supreme Court Rules Against Aereo Streaming Service · · Score: 2

    Apparently, it's only illegal if there is not a sufficient delay: "Justice Breyer stressed that the decision said nothing about downloading a TV program in order to recover it and keep it on hand for somewhat later viewing."

  13. Re:Nothing to see here on Starbucks Offers Workers 2 Years of Free College · · Score: 1

    It's ASU, not University of Phoenix.

  14. Re:Hacked? on Kids With Operators Manual Alert Bank Officials: "We Hacked Your ATM" · · Score: 1

    You mean who hacked his luggage.

  15. Re:Economists may disagree on the macro results, b on Seattle Approves $15 Per Hour Minimum Wage · · Score: 1

    And you will be wrong, because what will actually happen is firms will be forced to use their employees in a higher-productivity way (through various types of investments).

  16. Re:Hello automation! on Seattle Approves $15 Per Hour Minimum Wage · · Score: 1

    This is how it's supposed to work. A higher minimum wage forces firms to use their employees more productively (by training, investing in equipment, etc). Workers will rise in productivity to meet the minimum wage, since using workers in a low-productivity way is no longer a legal option. However, it doesn't work the way around: greater productivity has *not* led to higher wages, for the 99% in the last 30-40 years, the way we learned it in Econ 101. That truism has been proved false with recent experience. Anyway, this is my own innovative theory, but I stand by it empirically.

  17. Re:Duh! on Linux Sucks (Video) · · Score: 1

    Any instance falsifies "all", so "all" is falsifiable, or at least as much as any specific instance.

  18. Re:OpenOffice or LibreOffice on Ask Slashdot: Easy-To-Use Alternative To MS Access For a Charity's Database? · · Score: 1

    More than surprised: perplexed, puzzled, annoyed, contemptuous.

  19. Luxury sports car on Will the Nissan Leaf Take On the Tesla Model S At Half the Price? · · Score: 1

    I thought the whole point of Tesla was to make luxury sports cars. Is the Nissan Leaf a luxury sports car? If not, what is the point of this obvious comparison of non-sports car features?

  20. Helvetica sans-serif on Game Developers' Quest To Cross the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 1

    Off topic: Some comments appearing on beta slashdot as serif typefaces is a bug not a feature. The font-family is "Helvetica sans-serif", which doesn't actually exist. Maybe there should be a comma in there.

  21. Re:Biggest oops on Isaac Asimov's 50-Year-Old Prediction For 2014 Is Viral and Wrong · · Score: 5, Informative
