  1. Re:Yeah, nah. on Chris Christie Proposes Tracking Immigrants the Way FedEx Tracks Packages · · Score: 0

    I have to admit we have tampered with some crappy governments, sometimes wrongly but blowing up cities for profit is a lie. It cost us plenty.

  2. Re:Do you want to know why I block ads? on Will Ad Blockers Kill the Digital Media Industry? · · Score: 0

    I agree. I got an ad blocker when auto starting videos with audio became wide spread. Who a thunk that intrusive ads would span ad blockers. It's like phone tree designers took over web development.

  3. Replacing greed with arrogance on A 'Star Trek' Economic System May Be Closer Than You Think · · Score: 0

    My first reaction was oh great a society based on arrogance, then I remembered the point systems that psychologists of the 60's and 70's loved so much. So there would some possibly easily corruptible or fooled organization keeping track of the points based on their opinion of one's ideas or work? The same greedy people would vie for high rankings and status like the office suck ups we have now. Money has the advantage that it is real and not usually awarded because of wishful thinking. There would still be haves and have nots; everyone would have stuff but the have nots suffer from lack of motivation, not really needing anything. Worse they would have to listen to the haves. I have loved Science Fiction since seeing Forbidden Planet as a child and Star Trek even more but it was mostly written for children or the child in us. They left out a lot of human nature especially the darker parts. While a few things will come true It's just fiction. Bart - Bad karma and proud of it.

  4. Re:Perhaps because they chose to fudge the data? on NOAA: Global Warming 'Pause' Never Happened · · Score: 0

    It looks like no satellite data was used. Why?

  5. Re:My LG E973 seems pretty good. on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Most Stable Smartphones These Days? · · Score: 0

    My Nexus 4 is also an LG. I can't think of when it needed a restart. If only the battery would last a while longer. I don't like that automatic Android updates often change the interface so I may try a Windows phone next.

  6. demonstrable skills on Hillary Clinton Declares 2016 Democratic Presidential Bid · · Score: 0

    Hillary Clinton has held many titles and a very long time to do good. What has she accomplished? I can't think of anything but then I am not a fan. We need a president with demonstrable management and leadership skills.

  7. Re:Regrets, hell -- it's a federal felony on Clinton Regrets, But Defends, Use of Family Email Server · · Score: 0

    Waiting 2 years to provide the emails is concealing!

  8. Re:Hello? on FTC Targets Group That Made Billions of Robocalls · · Score: 0

    I do the same thing. Seems like I get fewer calls when do.

  9. Re:Lots of weird crap coming out of Congress latel on White House Threatens Veto Over EPA "Secret Science" Bills · · Score: 0

    The "polluters" are also providers of jobs. We need some balance after all our biggest problem is unemployment. The real unemployment rate (U-6) is 11.6%.

  10. Re:Lots of weird crap coming out of Congress latel on White House Threatens Veto Over EPA "Secret Science" Bills · · Score: 0

    This just the kind of tactic that the democrats would think up and use. Not on the EPA at least not now. but on some other area of government that they wanted to slow down.

  11. NY Times busted her? on Hillary Clinton Used Personal Email At State Dept., Possibly Breaking Rules · · Score: 0

    So the NY Times busted her? Interesting, they were on her side.

  12. Bring back the nine planets on One Astronomer's Quest To Reinstate Pluto As a Planet · · Score: 0

    I liked having nine planets. Going back to eight was .... degrading.

  13. It's an IDE drive on Ask Slashdot: Old PC File Transfer Problem · · Score: 0

    It's an IDE drive. See http://www.faqs.org/faqs/pc-ha... An IDE to USB adaptor would be best. Make sure you have a way to power the drive as some adaptors don't provide power.

  14. It will help someday on Ask Slashdot: How Can Technology Improve the Judicial System? · · Score: 0

    Technology will make the law a much more powerful ass. After much outrage and corrections it will help.

  15. Why did this happen? on Oklahoma Botched an Execution With Untested Lethal Injection Drugs · · Score: 0

    Those who got the old drugs taken off the market are responsible. Now this group are now complaining about problems with the new drugs? Also who do you propose as subjects to test these drugs?
