  1. Back to the Future. on Boeing Turning Old F-16s Into Unmanned Drones · · Score: 1

    Welcome back to the future F-16 is the new DeLorean.

    Manned fighter or Drone? U can't tell.

    Neither drone nor manned fighter, https nor nsa and reporter or terrorist neither...armed and dangerous all

  2. RIM sells 3 million in a quarter on Apple Sells Nine Million iPhones Over Weekend · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    while AAPL eclipses 3X as many in a weekend. Buh bye Blackberry.

    Like it or not, iPhone changed the world. Android exists inside a universe created by Apple. They continue to control it with faster response, faster processing and further processing advances without needing to own it.

  3. The end of man is near on Tesla Working On Autonomous Cars: Musk Wants Teslas With Auto-Pilot · · Score: 1

    Auto-Pilot .vs. Intelli-Systems

    Tesla .vs. Edison all over again

  4. TIME Inc. case0 on NYT Publisher Says Not Focusing on Engineering Was A Serious Mistake · · Score: 1

    PAGES Inc., software developer, initially built templates for TIME magazine to shorten time to market. The pulp version was 3 days stale before presses printed the news. TIME's goal was to get it down to 3 hours. TIME chose to forgo software and the rest is history. Apple copied the concept of the defunct corporate project naming the application after its namesake inspiration, Pages.

  5. Hahahamlet...LOL on UK Cryptographers Call For UK and US To Out Weakened Products · · Score: 1

    The cryptographer doth protest too much.

    PGP released mid 90's was pulled back and off the Internet for 6+ mo. Then re-launched with a wink and a nod for general consumption.

  6. SSNLFvampire on Forget Apple: Samsung Could Be Google's Next Big Rival · · Score: 1

    VictimLIST:
              AAPL
            GOOG

  7. Lucky losers on BlackBerry Cuts 250 Workers, Calls It Efficiency · · Score: 1

    250 got out with their lives and only lost their jobs

  8. Sounds unbelievable on NSA Can't Search Its Own Email · · Score: 1

    Then it is.

  9. Which 3? on NSA Admits Searching "3 Hops" From Suspects · · Score: 1

    What if the NSA searched the wrong solution set?

  10. Fisker .vs. Tesla on Tesla Motors May Be Having an iPhone Moment · · Score: 2

    Both cars. One chose Karma. One chose Roadster.

    One executed conventional engineering with battery backup. One executed an allegory to automotive history wrapped around all electric engineering.

    One's backup systems turned and committed car suicide in a NJ puddle. One executed a stanch defense in word and deed against NY media assassins delivering charging stations and more cars.

    Except for the few incredible cars it produced, Fisker is no more. To the victor the spoils. Tesla won

  11. ...you will absorb the culture on Former Student Gets Year In Prison For College President Election Fraud · · Score: 1

    Choose wisely where you go to school

  12. RIMM suicide on BlackBerry Helps Indian Gov't Spy On Users' Messages · · Score: 1

    RIM supplies the final nail to the coffin in the platform otherwise known as Blackberry.

  13. Oh S'hit on Judge Rules Apple Colluded With Publishers to Fix Ebook Prices · · Score: 1

    Books must then be sold like gasoline at 9/10ths subject to availability, wars and costs not obvious to consumers like IP lawyers, patent suits, web-hosting outages, alternative energy hosting costs, etc...

  14. No harm no foul. on Silicon Valley In 2013 Resembles Logan's Run In 2274 · · Score: 2

    There's a perspective that comes with failing (thank you dot.com bust) that frames your judgements with the preciousness of time, not to waste it and never lose an opportunity because in the next moment it may be someone else's. The advantage with age is knowing from experience that timing matters, paradigms shift and culture belongs to youth.

    Carry on Silicon Valley.

  15. History repeats... on Ask Slashdot: Permanent Preservation of Human Knowledge? · · Score: 2

    Rosetta, stone tablets, parchment scrolls and other works which have survived destruction only by obscurity, sleight and secrecy which instructs that the methods are not as important as the means to which you secure knowledge for posterity.

  16. Tah da on Are You Sure This Is the Source Code? · · Score: 2

    Finally, someone gets it. The backdoor is never where you're looking for it.

  17. Write on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With New Free Time? · · Score: 1

    25 yrs. of what can go wrong in the realm of software environments will serve you well in framing a future that's not much different but uniquely designed and engineered.

  18. May he rest-in-peace...

    MacPro shown at WWDC exudes a SteveEthos of superior engineering, access and performance. Strip away outer-shell, submerge in oil and enjoy!

  19. Leave a sleeping Aptera lie on New Company Set To Resurrect the Aptera · · Score: 1

    Companies fail.
    For reason.
    Respect that...

  20. Oil economy sign of collapse on Microsoft Attempts to Woo Students With 'Crowdsourced' Laptops · · Score: 1

    Enter the Gift economy

  21. Smokestack .vs. Tailpipe on No, the Tesla Model S Doesn't Pollute More Than an SUV · · Score: 1

    NEW Goalposts!

    Its about pollution. What if it were true that you could stop emissions? What would that world look like? 100's of millions of dirty tailpipes GONE. In the case of all-electric cars, gone completely. All-hydrogen cars, only an H2O drainpipe.

    Emissions remain, not gone. MOVED. 100's of millions of tailpipes traded for single smokestacks. Economy of scale!

    SO...its now affordable to capture smokestack emissions at the source, manage emissions, treat and clean smokestacks. TESLA is so smart they can engineer that technology then they OWN the category.

  22. Bogosity bullshit... on OK City Data Center Built To Withstand Winds Up To 310 MPH, Says Contractor · · Score: 1

    Design builder here with tornado and snow load experience, SO that tilt-up concrete structure with flat roof can NOT withstand an uplift load on 10,000 sq. ft. of roof structure. That's the primary design flaw on first principles. Exterior mechanicals, chillers, solar arrays and electrical gear only survive IF nothing crashes into them during a category EF5 tornado.

    What are the chances?

  23. Let's take a look at their backend in a year. on How BlackBerry Is Riding iOS and Android To Power Its Comeback · · Score: 1

    iPhone/Android/Blackberry either commoditizes BES or leverage into a global backbone infrastructure for corporate types needing more than TELCO signal.

  24. Cards == Water wings on Google's House of Cards · · Score: 1

    ' Cards' are a superior knowledge design element to wading pool depths of 3 deep for learning. For ocean depths and deeper universes, ' Cards' are water-wings for competitive swimmers.
