  1. Re:Essentially WW2 tech on Russian Army Upgrades Its Inflatable Weapons · · Score: 1

    Yea, that would be the "official" use.

  2. Re:No Cooperation, No way! NEVER!!! on NASA Head Ignores Congress, Eyes Cooperation With China · · Score: 1

    It's a shame that the third party that finally gains some steam is a bunch of assholes.

  3. Re:Shipping it from the Nile would be cheaper on Alaska To Export Billions of Gallons of Water · · Score: 1

    The Middle East would have to cooperate (for once) for this to work.

  4. Re:or desalinate? on Alaska To Export Billions of Gallons of Water · · Score: 1

    No, but it expends a goodly amount of fuel oil to ship it...

  5. Re:News For Nerds on Alaska To Export Billions of Gallons of Water · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    One word: Timothy

  6. Re:Think of the jobs on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 2, Informative

    ... and not for any job reasons! Because politicians think people can't be trusted to handle such an immensely dangerous item as motor fuel without proper training and certification!

  7. Re:Patents? on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    That's easy. Whoever made your particular car would license the patent.

    You know, patents aren't a denial to use... you just have to pay for the privilege.

  8. Re:This is troubling, deeply troubling on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    ... and in a twist nobody expected... it shuts off, and the world moves on.

  9. Re:Machine Ethics - Scenario on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    It's flip off, not flick off. It's also not a swear, no need to censor it (even if it was... it's not like you're going to violate some innocent mind)

  10. Re:New York Times on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    Too bad for them. If they had it up open with a few ads, they would have gotten some views.

    As it is now, nada. Fuck them.

  11. Re:What about unanticipatable factors? on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    Or, some "enterprising" individual can manipulate such accident and hazard broadcasts to reroute automated traffic at will...

  12. Re:I wold love a car that drives itself... on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    I'd bike, but 6 miles in this traffic would be suicide... not to mention the agony of riding to work in business-acceptable clothes in a humid 90F+ - yikes.

  13. Re:ed is too fancy on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 1

    fucking slashdot. There's a '<<' between 'write' and '"EOF"'

  14. Re:ed is too fancy on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 1

    Ahem.

    $ cat > /file/to/write "EOF"
    Type your shit
    over as many
    lines as you
    want.

    When you are
    done, simply type
    EOF

  15. Re:Ok...But let's not blame the mouse. on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 1

    Which is great, until maintenance time comes around...

  16. Re:Next step? on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 1

    You mean green on black?

  17. Re:Next step? on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Everything everyone does is not always motivated by profit...

  18. Re:Cause and Effect on Audio Analysis Brings New Revelations From Kent State Shooting · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected. That's a lot of circumstantial evidence pointing to it (and this isn't CSI... the most probably answer is likely the real answer too)

  19. Re:flowers to a gun fight on Audio Analysis Brings New Revelations From Kent State Shooting · · Score: 1

    If the cause called for it, yes. I suppose I'm one of the few.

    I have not yet seen a cause that did... yet.

  20. Re:70 seconds ??? on Audio Analysis Brings New Revelations From Kent State Shooting · · Score: 1

    Bah. Damn brain getting confused. Well, that's no revolver :P

    Still - even if the accuracy sucks it could still be considered sniping. Nobody said it had to be good... you could get lucky (or if your plan was to cause disruption... mission accomplished)

  21. Re:flowers to a gun fight on Audio Analysis Brings New Revelations From Kent State Shooting · · Score: 1

    There's a third option you missed: the machinery breaks.

    It's happened before, and could happen again.

  22. Re:flowers to a gun fight on Audio Analysis Brings New Revelations From Kent State Shooting · · Score: 1

    Indeed. It's hardly a peaceful protest if people are shouting and throwing dangerous objects about.

    If you are throwing anything besides a flower, expect retaliation.

  23. Re:70 seconds ??? on Audio Analysis Brings New Revelations From Kent State Shooting · · Score: 1

    .38 is hardly uncommon. How do we know it was Norman's that we (now) can hear?

  24. Re:Fire code on Electromechanical Switches Could Reduce Future Computers' Cooling Needs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We had the opposite problem.

    The sprinkler activation system was disconnected at all times (excepting inspection). That made me feel safe.

    Eventually -I- figured out what was wrong with the system and fixed it, and with the alarms cleared they felt safe enough to put the activators back on.

  25. Re:70 seconds ??? on Audio Analysis Brings New Revelations From Kent State Shooting · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Someone could even get silly and stick a 2x (or greater) optic on the revolver. There's a popular photo (and/or shop) of a kitten with one... I'm sure you've seen it.
