  1. I cannot be the first on FBI: $10,000 Reward For Info On Anyone Who Points a Laser At an Aircraft · · Score: 1

    I just deviced a plan that incorporates homeless folks, vodka bribes, laser pointers and $10000 profits.

  2. mmm... beer on Ancient Egyptian Brewer's Tomb Found · · Score: 2

    "beer's pivotal role in the civilization of humankind" I'll drink to that. Kippis.

  3. Re:What a great man on Nelson Mandela Dead At 95 · · Score: 0, Troll

    No, he will not be missed at all. A marxist extremist. It took 27 years of prison to tame him somewhat. His life legacy was fucking up the one good African country south of Sahara.

  4. somehow nostalgic on Two Supermassive Black Holes About To Embrace · · Score: 1

    "they were separated by just a few light-years" sounds like my high school drama.

  5. just stop on RF Safe-Stop Shuts Down Car Engines With Radio Pulse · · Score: 1

    No more taxes on cars and gasoline, no more restrictions, no more surveillance, no more control that isn't mine. It's my fucking car. Cars used to represent freedom, in some part.

  6. they are doing it wrong on Toronto Family Bans All Technology In Their Home Made After 1986 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I was fishing with my 4year old today. We both catched a fish. He was more interested in the fish and the worms and the sea than any iPads or other post-1986 crap around.

  7. From a European perspective on Obama Seeks New System For Rating Colleges · · Score: 2

    The proposotion sounds like a mask for lowering the standards. Sweden is already in this path. Results droop and they cannot admit the real reason because of politics. So the culprit must be the system. Everyone suffers and the esteem of educational institutions drop when they MUST take and pass students of ... let's say, lesser capabilities, in name of multiculturalism. USA is fast becoming a social democratic european style hellhole.

  8. They will call it "SkyDrive" on Microsoft Will Have To Rename SkyDrive · · Score: 1

    They will buy BSkyB, keep calling SkyDrive SkyDrive, and then kill BSkyB.

  9. yacht, yach on College Students Hijack $80 Million Yacht With GPS Signal Spoofing · · Score: 1

    It seems that it is basically the same technology to be used on a 700€ rowboat.

  10. Locating snipers on Hand-held "Sound Camera" Shows You the Source of Noises · · Score: 1

    My first reaction was military application. The moment the sniper fires a shot this passive device would tell its (dehumanization) exact position.

  11. Re:Bring back ORAC! on Classic BBC Sci-fi Series Blake's 7 To Return On Syfy Channel · · Score: 1

    They should cast Piers Morgan as the new ORAC.

  12. Re:Less drama more substance on Defcad.com Wants To Be the Google of 3D-Printable Guns · · Score: 1

    by US law. Here, AR's bolt, barrel, upper receiver and lower receiver are restricted items and need a permit. Probably barrel extension too.

  13. Re:Less drama more substance on Defcad.com Wants To Be the Google of 3D-Printable Guns · · Score: 1

    By US law. In other parts of the world the definition of "gun" varies. In Finland for example, there is no definition of "gun" in the law. In Finland, the "gun" is its serial number. There are vague definitions of gun parts. So, any single part is not a "gun" but some parts that either touch the cartridge when the gun goes off, or are "under pressure", or touch parts that fall under former categories, are "gun parts" and need a permission. But not always: a Mosin bolt is not a restricted part... but an MP5 trigger housing is. It's the wookie defence equivalent of legislation.

  14. Re:NRA: free speech champs on Defcad.com Wants To Be the Google of 3D-Printable Guns · · Score: 0

    It's also an association for non-paying non-members abroad and a model for human right movements everywhere. Keep up the good work, NRA! Most of the world is still slaves.

  15. Re:NRA: free speech champs on Defcad.com Wants To Be the Google of 3D-Printable Guns · · Score: 1

    ...when properly installed and droven in. A friend installed a vollquarzen 2 days before a major competition and needless to say, what worked in trials didn't work out so well in real use. Needed some break-in.

  16. hockey stick = polearm on Hockey Sticks Among Carry-On Items TSA Has Cleared For Planes · · Score: 2

    What if you attach pocket knives to a hockey stick? The polearm poll yesterday lacked this option.

  17. Re:Hmmm, don't really like the guys tone on Xbox Live Enforcement — No Swastika Logo · · Score: 1

    Do a google search for Finnish Air Force flag. Those flags are still in use. Only the pilot's emblem on their uniform and national insignia in aircraft was changed because the United Communist Atheist Horde of Russia (part of Allies) demanded it.

  18. Re:syncml on Apple Implements the CalDAV Standard For MobileMe · · Score: 1

    Yeesh. SyncML? Have you ever looked at that standard? Ghastly.

    Yes it's horrible and obsolete, technically speaking. It's still used in lots of collaborative calendar software. Having syncml clients for OSX and iPhone would help me and lots of other people too to get rid of horrible nokias etc.

  19. syncml on Apple Implements the CalDAV Standard For MobileMe · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have syncml support in osx calendar and iphone. The only reason to hang on nokias...

  20. Re:NO thanks on iPhone OS 4.0 Brings Multitasking, Ad Framework For Apps · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm sorry, but it's hard to take you seriously when you're happily posting on an ad-supported site about how you say 'no-thanks' to ad-supported apps.

    Slashdot has ads? (checks it out with safari...) OMG :-) I was unaware. Thank you, adblock.

  21. Re:Damn it, now they tell me on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 1

    Why would you go that fast (presuming you can't go much faster, of course)? It takes exponentially more energy to

    The problem is not the energy, the problem is the time dilatation. Once you go near-c, you can as well go very near c since you're dead to everyone you knew.

  22. Poul Anderson solved all this on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Lasers in front to plasmatize the hydrogen, huge magnetic fields to move the plasma to the REAR of the ship, where a "virtual" burn chamber (really just magnetic fields) captures the plasma. Another mag field keeps the antimatter from touching anything, and gradually releases anti-atoms to the furnace. BOOM mega boost. Easy to shield mere energies if you can do all that trickery with fields. Certainly possible - just very, very hard.

  23. iPhone is the handiest on Pen Still Mightier Than the Laptop For Notetaking? · · Score: 1
    a phone is always with you. a pencil + notepad thing is a two-part potential failure, you can be out of paper or missing a pen.

    a phone is always with you. I find the iPhone(tm)(r)(c) is very handy when taking notes. What makes it even handier is the way everything in iphone is backed up to your desktop machine which in turn is getting backed up...

    I tried using calendars, memos and stuff with nokias. NOT WORTH THE HASSLE, basically I lost all my data periodically and it was hellish to use. iPhone makes it actually easy and I have yet to lose any data.

    Usability is king.

  24. Britannia is lost on UK Police Plan To Use Military-Style Spy Drones · · Score: 1, Interesting
    Britannia is lost. Former empire is now a police-state. V (original comic) was right.

    Really - only criminals (predominantly of foreign (muslim) origin) carrying guns, police carrying MP5s at every streetcorner, all kinds of surveillance running rampant.

    Britain is gone. British no longer have the will or the means to save themselves, they have already in spirit surrendered to muslims and while the process will take some time, it will happen unless they find a fucking clue and stop treating their own british-born citizen like sheep.

  25. bullshit topic on Where Are the Cheap Thin Clients? · · Score: 1
    a working X11/RDP thin client costs under 200 euros.

    A typical workstation costs 500-600 euros.

    WTF was this about again?
