  1. Whose government is that? on Plan Would Give Government Virtual Veto Over Internet Governance · · Score: 0

    I'm afraid I certainly do not recognize Obama --to name one-- as my governor.

  2. Kind Astronomer on No, a Huge Asteroid Is Not "Set To Wipe Out Life On Earth In 2880" · · Score: 1

    Kind enough not to point out that by that time 'man himself' has already long accomplished what said asteroid some 800 years before was assured not to be able to do for other reasons.

  3. carry 'n change on EFF's Cell Phone Guide For US Protesters · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The only sensible thing to do, imo (aside from not carrying anything that can ID you), from /both/ the standpoint of
    personal privacy, /and/ from the standpoint of adding to a protest's effectiveness (something just a bit lost in the
    EFF article), is to bring just the cheapest dumb phone that you can find, and at the site immediately exchange it
    with another protestor unknown to you, for his/hers. Shortly test both, and you're on.

  4. Where are those chips baked? on Project Aims To Build a Fully Open SoC and Dev Board · · Score: 1

    That's what I was about to ask.
    But then I wondered -- what actually was the motivation for this all out Open Source SoC?

  5. I protest on Supervalu Becomes Another Hacking Victim · · Score: 1

    To the misuse of the word 'hacking'.

  6. Re: Really Relax Recline Retire on Ask Slashdot: What Recliner For a Software Developer? · · Score: 1

    I'm one of those coders who tends to relax

    Of those coders who tends to relax, he is one?
    Maybe instead he should retire?

  7. Re:I would be very interested... on Involuntary Eye Movement May Provide Definitive Diagnosis of ADHD · · Score: 2

    Yes and no.
    There are two kinds of ADHD. The 'old' one and the hyped one.
    The former is pathologically founded in the child; the latter is socially founded in the parent.

  8. Mankind stumbled and fell on The Flight of Gifted Engineers From NASA · · Score: 1

    The next giant leap will for SpaceHypedCoX LLC.

  9. I can see the NSA (sub)version now on Ryan Lackey, Marc Rogers Reveal Inexpensive Tor Router Project At Def Con · · Score: 1

    MORTAL (Modified Onion Router To Annul Liberty).

  10. Re:Why did they pick such a bad buzzword? on Gartner: Internet of Things Has Reached Hype Peak · · Score: 1

    The Chain is more appropriate.

  11. possible answers on Why Hasn't This Asteroid Disintegrated? · · Score: 1

    1. said rocks are seeking their 'natural place', and have found it
    2. spinning does not lose you any weight
    3. surface friction in the horizontal plane

  12. I will be impressed on New Watson-Style AI Called Viv Seeks To Be the First 'Global Brain' · · Score: 1

    when VIV will answer the question "If time flies like an arrow, how does fruit fly?" with an appropriate quip.
    In short, I am toataly underimpressed -- still, and yet again.

    AI is not in the answering of questions. It is in any intentional fuzziness, ambiguity and irony attainable by the system, and the humor that follows from them.
    Computers are really braindead. As we like most of them to be.

  13. I one tried a 'Hello World' program in 225 wpm on Type 225 Words per Minute with a Stenographic Keyboard (Video) · · Score: 1

    It worked, but came out as 'hell it suks', whereupon I got a fit and almost choked,
    and a subsequent effort at 10 wpm was spent to correct the typos. At that time I felt
    a dunce, and I had a program that didn't do much of anything surprising anymore.

  14. when is a 'bug' a 'feature' on Errata Prompts Intel To Disable TSX In Haswell, Early Broadwell CPUs · · Score: 1

    If anyone can tell, it's ' Intel '.

  15. Just be glad on Toxic Algae Threatens Florida's Gulf Coast · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    it ain't some giant Jap broccoli.

  16. Re:Austrian censorship? on Clever Workaround: Visual Cryptography On Austrian Postage Stamps · · Score: 1

    That kind, neutral European nation brought you Hitler.
    Then again it brought us Wittgenstein as well.
    Then again, Freud....
    Usw., zu ewigen Ende.

  17. Royally Fucked: Censorship and Scientific Fact on Clever Workaround: Visual Cryptography On Austrian Postage Stamps · · Score: 1

    Here's a nice anecdote for all you 'dotal subversives.
    Used to be that the Royal Cunt of The Netherlands (the one possessed by you [didn't] know whom) was 'off limits'. Taboo. Verboten. As in burn the entire edition.
    These days however that concept is nearly a physical impossibility.

  18. Re:New version of an old idea. on Connected Collar Lets Your Cat Do the War-Driving · · Score: 1

    Saint Bernard's dog, Flipper, Skippy, and a whole menagerie of others.
    (Batman and Spiderwoman were so many fakes.)
    Meanwhile, Coco the Cat seems to want Any Mouse -- at least it's avoiding the camera.

  19. Re:Sorry, had to be asked on Connected Collar Lets Your Cat Do the War-Driving · · Score: 1

    Toonses never talked like this.

  20. Keep away from it on New NSA-Funded Code Rolls All Programming Languages Into One · · Score: 1

    It's supposed to help the NSA, and to hurt you in the end.

  21. Imperial news! on NASA Releases Footage of "Flying Saucer" Braking Test, Declares Success · · Score: 1

    Gimme a brake -- one that operates at the right meters per seconds squared...

  22. No we can't on Can We Call Pluto and Charon a 'Binary Planet' Yet? · · Score: 1

    No phone lines yet. Sorry.

  23. The problem with Americans on Russia Cracks Down On Public Wi-Fi; Oracle Blocks Java Downloads In Russia · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Is self-serving righteous hypocrites like you. You and your buddies Obama and Bush and the whole criminal lot.

  24. Positive news on EFF: US Gov't Bid To Alter Court Record in Jewel v. NSA · · Score: 2

    The NSA is not above the local law. Now ask yourself, who's running the country really, nut cases
    like the Clap and the Xander and their cheerleaders, or you, the one carrying the vote and the pitchfork.

  25. Not to worry.
    The Eff Bee Eye is just a giant set of Archie Bunkers, i.e. a conglomerate of fearful, nay paranoid
    panty sniffers, trying to prove mainly to themselves their worthliness in modern society.
    They prob. use buzzwords like 'terrorism' too.
    Pathetic old men, leave them alone.
