  1. Re:Time overflowing on You've Got 25 Years Until UNIX Time Overflows · · Score: 1

    Look up John Titor.

  2. Re:Here is more from John Gruber of Daring Firebal on Why Apple Replaced iOS Maps · · Score: 0

    Streetview

  3. No one has said the obvious on NASA's Bolden Speaks On Future Mars Mission, Chinese Moon Landing · · Score: 0

    Translation: "America gets to go alone until we don't have the cash - But if someone else has the cash then they should think globally and bring us along"

  4. Re:Obligatory YouTube video on Quantifying the Risk of Texting Drivers · · Score: 0

    What about using the hazard lights for a moment?

  5. Flash, popularity and death on Why You Can't Dump Java (Even Though You Want To) · · Score: 0

    Lol - Java was the next obvious route of mainstream development after Flash was killed off. As a flash designer all I can do is laugh. The Google/Oracle case is just the cherry on top. We use every platform until we kill it then we move on to the next best.

  6. Got me all excited for nothing on Huge Triangle-shaped Spot Over the Sun · · Score: 0

    woo - another swirling emission from the sun.

  7. Banned weaponry on DARPA-Funded 'Cheetah' Breaks Speed Record For Legged Robots · · Score: 0

    Developing killer robots will be illegal in the future (if we survive that is). Common sense dictates that we should pre-emptively make this illegal now and save ourselves some serious pain.

  8. Re:Phew... on World Emissions of Carbon Dioxide Outpace Worst-Case Scenario · · Score: 0

    It's called an electric car FFS. Internal combustion engines should be illegal at this stage.

  9. Re:Christ versus Christians on Wealthy Americans Turning To Europe For Medical Treatment · · Score: 0

    I'm a highly educated Christian involved in cutting edge tech development. I love science. I love exploring God's work. I follow the words of Christ as best I can.

  10. WMDs on Using GPS To Detect Secret Nuclear Tests · · Score: 0

    Can someone explain to me why North Korea is allowed to test nuclear bombs in full view of the planet but trillions were spent on wiping out a mere hint of WMDs in Iraq?

  11. Holy on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 0

    Shit

  12. Totally Rad Show on New Video Brings Portal To Life · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dan Trachtenberg from TRS was responsible for this. It just goes to show that just because you're a critic/fan of movies and games doesn't mean you can't create great stuff yourself! Kudos

  13. Re:This trend will accelerate... on Canadian Firm Gave Libyan Rebels Surveillance Drone · · Score: 0

    Maybe you Americans should heed this warning: Evil begets evil. Maybe if you didn't invest trillions of dollars you haven't earned into "defensive" technology humanity would have greatly reduced weapons development globally. Nah, keep building those nukes. It's the only way to be sure eh?

  14. WRONG! on Coming Soon, Shorter Video Games · · Score: 0

    /Luthor It's the difficulty curve. Allow me to skip a boss if I want after 5 goes and the problem is solved. All other listed factors in the article are secondary.

  15. Live stream please on Notch Asks For Trial By Combat · · Score: 0

    See if pay per view offered legal combat settlements I'd sign up in a second. They'd need to keep it fresh though (think judge judy mixed with gamesmaster).

  16. Re:Good sales push on Geocaching Shuts Down British Town · · Score: 0

    Good idea. Ringing up the police each time is a bad idea - they'd be inundated.

  17. NGP on Sony Reportedly Ends PSP Go Production · · Score: 0

    Saw this coming the day I first set eyes on it. Slide-out design is awful. The NGP looks great - hopefully they will allow you to clone the ps3 video-out wirelessly to play games in close proximity to the console. My guess is this is what nintendo have up their sleeve for the wii2.

  18. Re:Them swedes. on Swedish File-Sharers File For Religious Status · · Score: 0

    How do I mod you up? I've been using slashdot for a while but I don't understand the moderation system at all :(

  19. Re:Slow news day?? on Teachers Back Away From Evolution In Class · · Score: 0

    I know that. The problem is, most childrens teachers don't.

    As you say, some of this falls into the theology territory (how are we here) and this needs to be acknowledged by those who want evolution taught at school. Religious classes are important here.

    So much scientific doctrine is just as faith based as the major religions. There are factions which argue over tiny but significant details and there are plot holes everywhere.

    What I'd love to see is an encyclopedia from 2500. What will the beliefs about the universe and the nature of our reality be then?

  20. Re:Slow news day?? on Teachers Back Away From Evolution In Class · · Score: 1

    We have proof that women can be as smart as men. The complete history of human biological development however is tricky and incomplete. This stuff gets simplified in children's classrooms to the point that it becomes black and white. This is a minefield and there is so much more developed material out there that we should be focused on dishing out. Teaching stuff you dont understand is a terrible mistake. I've had a couple of teachers over the years try to answer tough questions in various subjects and what happens is the student comes away with the wrong information. When I think about the crap that was taught in my physics class and how it was explained or how mathematics was applied I shudder to imagine a children's teacher explaining the intricacies of evolution without saying stupid crap like we used to be monkeys / there is no God. There's so much more to it and it's delicate stuff. Kids should be doing more practical stuff in my opinion. More experiments, chemistry combos, assembling engines, building lego robots, programming, practicing formulas and doing webvideos with different language countries.

  21. Re:High-Speed Robot Hand Demonstrates Dexterity on Artificial Retinas Can Balance a Pencil On Its End · · Score: 0

    Fascinating thanks. We all need to be thinking about redesigning the future. Perhaps some sci-fi student video will inspire us. We need a new cultural vision.

  22. Re:Disturbing to see TSA still behind the curve. on TSA Bans Toner and Ink Cartridges On Planes · · Score: 0

    If travelling like the jaunt actually existed some clever person would probably come up with a drug you could sneak into someone's food (who you didn't like) so that the knockout gas wouldn't work properly...

  23. Re:look another US-American idiot! on Lineage II Addiction Lawsuit Makes It Past the EULA · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Stop bashing religion. Praying is a form of grace. More good comes from modern religion than you can imagine.

  24. Anti-Internet Territorial blocking on An Unprecedented Look At Apple's "Black Labs" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Living in the past and breaking the international web with your territory blocking BS. Screw Hulu

  25. Donations is the only way forward on A Composer's-Eye View of the Copyright Wars · · Score: 1

    Capitalism is dead. We have new tech and racial equality. Its time to rely on human decency as there is no longer a lock-in mechanism for copyright protection. People will create artistic works for free. We just need to educate them to share with each other. Donations will work for now - but long term we're going to have to rethink economics and human value sharing.
