  1. Re:I like... on U.S. Senator: All Cops Should Wear Cameras · · Score: 1

    Actually it's a good idea. Except we'll have to come up with something to alleviate the
    problem that's called "we lost the film roll", "the camera was malfunctioning/unoperative",
    and similar unfortunate snags that always seem to favor the strong arm.

  2. "better light-emitting diodes, or LEDs" on Scientists Craft Seamless 2D Semiconductor Junctions · · Score: 1

    Thank god for Slashdot.

  3. Instead of buying up everything in sight on Google Buys Zync Cloud Graphics Rendering Service · · Score: 0

    Maybe Google with all their wealth should have their oil paintings done by some Dutch Master.
    Although ... --- come to to think of it -- what should be in it?

  4. In some quarters on Free Law Casebook Project Starts With IP Coursebook · · Score: 1

    There's a "legal cost" of obscene textbooks.

  5. Ubuntu is a Linux vendor !!? on IBM Gearing Up Mega Power 8 Servers For October Launch · · Score: 1

    Bounty hunt for IBM: try to find the word 'Linux' on the Ubuntu web pages.

  6. I can't wait to hear on Whole Organ Grown In Animal For First Time · · Score: 1

    the first toccata.

  7. Re:More litigants! on Ross Ulbricht Faces New Drug Charges · · Score: 1

    apologist

  8. F*k Sony on Hackers Claim PlayStation Network Take-Down · · Score: -1

    And Beta.

  9. What'd I tell you on Iceland Stands Down On Travel Alert: From Orange To Red and Back Again · · Score: 1

    The misguided BBC and cowardous CNN were the basis for past week's reporting.

  10. How is it on Eruption Of Iceland's Bardarbunga Raises Travel Alert to Red · · Score: 1

    Why is it that when a thing like this happens (supposedly), we're directed to the misguided BBC, and to cowardous CNN?
    Doesn't Iceland have some kind of geologic society or meteorlogic society that issues reports based on adequate, current, hot-off-the-volcano scientific data?

  11. All together now: JUMP! on 2 Galileo Satellites Launched To Wrong Orbit · · Score: 1

    Just wait for the satellites to be overhead.

  12. One's hostile is another's hero on Finding an ISIS Training Camp Using Google Earth · · Score: 0

    There are other 'terrorist organizations' with 'hostile activities in Iraq and Syria', some of them a tad less indigenous than ISIS.
    They aren't in the news much.
    How 'bout they all get the fuck out of there and let the locals decide how they want to run their country?

  13. How about a new trip to Triton on A Movie of Triton Made From Voyager 2's Fly-by 25 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    Or is that too waiting on a design competition for human settlement and colonization.

  14. The Sheldrake Effect on Students From States With Faster Internet Tend To Have Higher Test Scores · · Score: 1

    The more waves --electromagnetic, wires, fiber-- the larger the opportunity for so called 'rub off' of thise waves. Actually the better-performing students do not know anything more than the average student, nor have better insights, higher intelligence (technically though, yes they do), etc. It's just that they 'pick up' more of the accepted view of the current state of knowledge. Morphic resonance.

  15. Re:Not entirely surprising on NSA Agents Leak Tor Bugs To Developers · · Score: 2

    Are you sure those are (the) two official NSA directives? They almost can't be, for 2. can entirely be seen as a subset of 1.

    Other than that, they (or you?) have a very loose way of using 'our' in 'our nation's security' and 'our enemies'. Do you, personally, consider yourself among 'our' as used here? Not to be personal -- but I am almost certain they do not count you among the 'our'; you see, the NSA's true objective is to protect those of ultimate wealth and power in the US against those without wealth and power in the US.
    If there's one thing that has become abundently clear over the last years, esp. since the banking crisis, and a fortiori since the last year or so, that is it.

  16. Re:Bricking or Tracking? on Smartphone Kill Switch, Consumer Boon Or Way For Government To Brick Your Phone? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Consider what the gov would call 'emergencies'. We may call them protests, even rebellion. Suppose the next banking crisis has come around. Suppose this time things don't evolve so orderly for all those presidential advisors and what have you. Suppose these, those protests, get out of hand -- from the perspective of the gov, mind you. Yes, they would see it as rebellion. Now is the gov gonna want to track you and the rest of your 10,000 protestors? No, they just want to kill any organizational aspects of it asap and thus disperse the lot into chaos. Divide and conquer, on the street level, so to speak. I don't think I have to tell you where your phone came into this picture. Comms, pictures taken, police being filmed, free YouTube placement -- bah!, don't want any of that anymore. The gov want to be able to brick it -- even if temporarily, while at the same time having their own communications channels up and running in spiffy order all the time.
    You can seen where all this fits in, our latter days of class warfare.

  17. I can only say on Helsinki Aims To Obviate Private Cars · · Score: 1

    Yeah!

  18. Re:Who needs oil? on If Fusion Is the Answer, We Need To Do It Quickly · · Score: 1

    Those 'petro-exporting countries' are all protege's of the US of A. Talk about belligerent.
    Maybe try to look in the mirror more, confused one?

  19. Re:Lossless on YouTube Music Subscription Details Leak · · Score: 2

    if $ 0.00 is decent enough, try TPB; most of the stuff there is available as FLAC.

  20. Who wants YouTube when there's on YouTube Music Subscription Details Leak · · Score: 1

    TPB.

  21. Question on Scientists Find Traces of Sea Plankton On ISS Surface · · Score: 1

    Does this make proving "there is no whale on this spaceship" harder, or doesn't it?

  22. Sillier and sillier on Modular Hive Homes Win Mars Base Design Competition · · Score: 0

    Man can't even manage planet Earth. Let alone Mars. It has no business there until it shapes up over here.
    Meanwhile, robots can do anything there, and elsewhere, and do it more effectively.

  23. Now the waiting is .... on German Intelligence Spying On Allies, Recorded Kerry, Clinton, and Kofi Annan · · Score: 1

    ...on the revelation that Turkey spies on Germany and others.
    And --particularly-- the precious toned-down reaction. Such as is displayed now, all of a sudden.
    Go Turks -- GO!

  24. Royal Coaches or Royal Koch'es? on The Royal Society Proposes First Framework For Climate Engineering Experiments · · Score: 2

    'Royally Fucked'". That's what the 'Royal Society of London' should honestly tell its public, and add: "unless you cut down on Carbon Dioxide emissions from fossil fuel use".
    But they know what that means.

  25. Thumbs up on Linux Kernel Git Repositories Add 2-Factor Authentication · · Score: 1

    Let's see:
    - Authenticated kernel source.
    - Checksummed distro ISO.
    - Eeprom subverted thumb drive.
