  1. GCC ... on Ask Slashdot: Is It Linux or GNU/Linux? (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 1

    Without GCC where are you ?

    When standing on someones shoulders its common respect to acknowledge it.

  2. Re: So you're saying.. on Iran Bans Use of Telegram Messaging App To Protect 'National Security' (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Currently Russia is trying to ban telegram. All it is doing is making our russian co workers get VPNs in other countries so they can access the things they need to for work.

    Telegrams functionality hasnt been impacted

    You do realize the number one killer of innocent people the last century was governments

  4. Re:Register drones, but guns? on Trump Signs Law Forcing Drone Users To Register With Government (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    If your drone has a gun on it, and you fly it, you are a felon. Next question?

    Incorrect. You are a felon if you are caught flying a drone with a gun on and and convicted, until then you are just another schmuck ignoring the law.

    Or as we call it in the US... business as usual.

  5. Re:"In the beginning..." on CERN Scientists Conclude that the Universe Should Not Exist (ign.com) · · Score: 1

    What created the gasses and other things just laying around for the Tao ? .. and egg ?

    Why does it have to have a beginning or an end... if we can conceive it the probability it exists is certain. At least in thought.

    What if this period of time we are experiencing is a nanosecond in some other multiverse ?

    What amazes me is we hang on to old silly superstitions like they will protect us. Might as well ask Zeus for protection.

  6. Re:And they drive pretty nice on Electric Cars Emit 50 Percent Less Greenhouse Gas Than Diesel, Study Finds (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Only a few electric cars here in the Phoenix area. See many many more in the foggy SF bay area

    I drive a few hundred miles daily. I have lots of sun but carrying enough solar panels to recharge that battery isnt a feasible solution. Nor can I recharge a dead battery at midnight when I am almost home.

    I also wonder at battery life in the desert. It gets above 49 C sometimes ( 120F for the natives )

    Hard to carry a battery to a car when you are stranded too.

    Much work to do before this is remotely feasible in the US

  7. Systemd on Ask Slashdot: What Software (Or Hardware) Glitch Makes You Angry? · · Score: 1

    Systemd...

    Hands down the biggest frustration I face daily.

  9. Re:Utah on Starbucks and McDonald's Announce Porn Blocks On Their Wi-Fi Networks (cnn.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    , but what about my First Amendment right to not view it?

    Interesting... Can we do this to churches and their habit of putting torture devices ( cross ) on their front lawns ?

  10. Re:This is it! The year of the Linux desktop! on 'UpgradeSubscription.exe' File In Preview Build Hints At Windows 10 Subscriptions (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    As far as I am concerned windows is malware.

    It misbehaves , doesn't do what I want, gets in the way, reports unknown data to Microsoft and it wastes compute resources.

  11. Re: Oh okay.. on Autonomous Robot Intentionally Hurts People To Make Them Bleed (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Until a robot decides to help someone who wants to commit suicide. Then you are going to have to figure out exceptions... because there always are exceptions, except to the always exceptions rule.

  12. Its not a theory when people are actually conspiring :)

  16. Long Term Multi Generational Study.... on Lab-Grown Meat Is In Your Future, and It May Be Healthier Than the Real Stuff (smh.com.au) · · Score: 1

    ... This exists right ? We aren't just saying something is safe for human consumption without a nice long test are we ?

  17. Re: Regulatory interpretation vs State law on Drone-Shooting is Now a Federal Crime, FAA Confirms (slate.com) · · Score: 2

  19. Re:Why is everybody drawing a line at their phones on Obama: Government Can't Let Smartphones Be 'Black Boxes' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Because the phone is something everyone has and they finally get what intrution the govt is / has been doing.

    If they understood the other things the govt is nosey about and keeps tabs on I wonder what actually would be happening.

  20. Here come gold / platinum coins on It's Time To Kill the $100 Bill, Says Larry Summers · · Score: 1

    ...seriously. You cant stop people from trading things.

  21. Re:Self Defense on Debating a Ban On Autonomous Weapons (thebulletin.org) · · Score: 1

    You have to make war so horrible no one wants it ever again. Do that about every 50 years because humans are idiots and forget.

  22. Re:Why not just call the entire Internet illegal? on Anti-Piracy Group BREIN Demands Torrents Time Cease and Desist · · Score: 1

    The problem with regulating guns in the US is the fact the guns are in the citizens hands to regulate the government. If you allow the government to regulate guns and by proxy regulating itself then you will get tyranny.

    History.

  23. ... so what this means is all that crap on that show is fake as hell. They had no problem showing those peoples private lives or problems on national TV for a profit.

  24. Re:Not a zero-sum game -- and not that simple on Majority of Americans OK With Warrantless Internet Surveillance (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    The govt violating the constitution means it is no longer legitimate as the constitution is what binds the govt.

    The recourse is to revolt and start a new govt.

  25. Simpler to just put your neighbor's, who did register, FAA ID on your drone . Fly like a nut... crash the drone into something... toss the wiped free from prints controller into the nearest public dumpster
