  1. StoryWorld creation today... on Interviews: Ask J. Michael Straczynski What You Will · · Score: 1

    Reaching people now in this fragmented techno-gadget friendly world where smartphone, iPad, tablet, YouTube and television portals all offer some form of access to a story that's unfolding in their world, what impact has this development had upon your creative approach to storytelling?

  2. Beauty of a Hydrogen economy on Big Advance In Hydrogen Production Could Change Alternative Energy Landscape · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A Hydrogen economy STOPS green house gas emission from transportation, litters our roadways with H2O instead of oil and disrupts power in the Middle East.

    SO...

    What are we waiting for? We could extract our asses out of the deserts of the world with simple plant processing now

  3. The Internet Archive...don't forget on Is It Possible To Erase Yourself From the Internet? · · Score: 1

    ...is a ' snapshot' in time. You were there!

    You're in it and you don't erase that past, neither.

  4. RIMM launch - a slideshow? on RIM Unveils BlackBerry 10, Its Big Turnaround Hope · · Score: -1, Troll

    NASA rocket launch == thunder, smoke and ballastics!!! RIMM launched a phone today that didn't even make a call.

    First Principles: make a phone deliver a phone. No best-in-class phone experience, not demonstrated or even alluded. No call quality, call handling, network saturation management...nothing. ANGRY BIRD should have been making calls from the front of the stage to every f'ing phone in the fricking audience en masse! THAT's the power of BBM communications in the palm of your hand.

    BlackBerry could sell a phone today if you even wanted one. Not available. What's the point?

    RIMM -> BlackBerry changes the name cards on the deck chairs only

    Non-launch == non-event

  5. Security matters... on RIM's BB10 Campaign Requires Some Serious Work · · Score: 1

    Daily more personal experiences in security lapses, intrusions, phishes, and ID theft occur. RIM own that category. Blackberry will gain converts-in-refuge happy to exchange ' street cred' iPhones and Androids for tablets and just a secure phone for essential communications.

    Bi-furcation and up market growth will sort out the phones and tabs.

  6. Empire State building... on WTO Approves Suspension of US Copyright in Antigua · · Score: 1

    State sponsored Theft by Exemption. Legal worldwide!
    Question: Does that make it an Empire?

  7. LOL:But the U.S. is still #1 in the world! on US Near Bottom In Life Expectancy In Developed World · · Score: 1

    Mod+1

  9. Just because you can... on Canadian Researchers Debut PaperTab, the Paper-Thin Tablet · · Score: 1

    ...doesn't mean you should.

    I'm laughing at the pedantic irony in 10 PaperTabs to get any work done.

  10. ID, disarm and deactivate exists already on Smart Guns To Stop Mass Killings · · Score: 1

    1977 Browning Arms incorporated electronic triggers in R&D prototypes which functioned back then. The next endeavor was fingerprintID tech, at which point Fabrique Nationale acquired the company...

    Hammer deactivation engineering to electronically disarm firearms in R&D labs is 40+ year old Safety technology.

  11. AIG was a house of cards... on AIG Contemplates Joining Stockholder Suit Against US Gov't · · Score: 1

    AIG cooked its ' deals'. Different than cooking the books. Have fun Justice!

  14. Stop dating PM...you're not ready for relationship on Ask Slashdot: How To Gently Keep Management From Wrecking a Project? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Refocus on requirements, refine the ' engine' core to the technology and relaunch when it won't matter how badly a PM fucks up the implementation, rollout and rampup......the core engine is defined, stable and sufficiently abstracted to weather the educated PM who's fancy certification and cadre of developers are deadset on changing the world.

    Stars will shine......black holes will consume huge quantities of both manpower and resources but the core technology remains to power through...you will be vindicated, recognized and rewarded.

    PM's then will do whatever you want.....you GURU WARRIOR you

  15. Civilian non-military control on Who Should Manage the Nuclear Weapons Complex, Civilians Or Military? · · Score: 1

    We've seen the military purposes to which weapons were arbitrarily dropped on Japan. History teaches nuclear weapons did not end WWII with Japan, only destroying Japan's Emperor form of gov't. So...that precedent speaks to the country of Iran, its form of gov't today and nuclear weapons locked, loaded and ready for duty in the middle east. This is not a military decision nor should it be

  16. I call Band-Aid on US Nuclear Industry Plans "Rescue Wagon" To Avert Meltdowns · · Score: 2

    Anyone else think there's time to re-act, re-locate, re-spond with their Emergency Erector Set? Chernobyl anyone?

  18. Align your values on Ask Slashdot: Troubling Trend For Open Source Company · · Score: 1

    You're mission is in conflict with that perception of ' free' as in free beer product your company promotes. You need to firewall.

    Align with your company with its core values. Firewall to protect your integrity. Run a ' Genius' hotline to refer solutions to outside consultants. Let them charge for service to fix things that people can't DIY.

    Backcharge consultants an access fee to your Genius hotline outsource service. Who the consultants are, is your business.

  19. The next BIG thing! on Microsoft Granted Patent For Augmented Reality Glasses · · Score: 1

    More than a fad...more than cool and better than Rx; Cx glasses are disruptive game changers. They stand on the shoulders of the PC, Internet, SQL, 802.11xx and HUD at the corner of Fashion and Future hawking the promise of all knowing all seeing Superman intelligence. What kid isn't gonna want to be like that when he grows up? LOL

  20. Inside-out move by NTSB on NTSB Dumps BlackBerry In Favor of iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    RIMM nor AAPL here are the story.

    NTSB decided they're corporates not enterprise. Its as simple as...BBM, encryption and BES no longer serve a useful purpose to their mission.

  21. Well then... on Senate Bill Rewrite Lets Feds Read Your E-mail Without Warrants · · Score: 1

  24. Globalism Dead Man's Noose on NRC Report Links Climate Change To National Security · · Score: 1

    Big Oil is the original Global business, wealthiest enterprise on the planet, ground zero for climate change and responsible for worldwide oil conflicts. Peak oil didn't effect any interest in changing the planet's global business practices, its petro-economy or climate impacts but did result in the death for thousands who paid the ultimate price. Big Oil tied a rope around everyone's collective wrists, hostage to a way of life, making a living and lifestyle for which we duly owe rents paid by the tankful.

    Big Oil are slipping the noose around our necks, while we continue to buy-in to hybrid petro-vehicles, unemployment and dream of a 1% lifestyle.

    Sandy pulled the chair out from under NY'ers...those who paid the ultimate price can't tell you what they think of climate change but surely Big Oil is not oblivious to the greatest after-effect of the storm was lack of fuel, long lines, rationing and shortage driven high prices.

    The world are all standing on a three legged global chair, more will be next to suffer...everyone definitely wears the Dead Man's Noose.

    Free the bonds that tie your wrists people
