  1. Re:Or you could just take an ordinary train on Autonomous Road Train Project Completes First Public Road Test · · Score: 1

    That's called j-walking. Have you ever heard of crosswalks or traffic signals?

  2. Re:laser range finder on "Part-Time" Scientists Aim To Build Autonomous Moon Rover · · Score: 1

    Probably due to the high power requirement

  3. Re:The easy way on Ask Slashdot: How To Make My Own Hardware Multimedia Player? · · Score: 1

    For large libraried MediaCompanion, Ember Media Manager, or similar is an absolute must. By generating the NFOs yourself you take the guessing and searching out for XBMC. It works great once you set it up properly and the new Eden build has added a TON of great features and usability

  4. Re:Great QOTD on Obama Administration Places $200 Million Bet On Big Data · · Score: 1

    It's called Amazon. It was even in TFS!! ;)

  5. Re:This is Sony on Sony Taking Down PSP Titles In Response To Vita Hackers · · Score: 1

    Maybe 10 years ago. Samsung and Panasonic blow them away

  6. Re:Why no video? on Baumgartner Completes 13.5-Mile Free-Fall Jump, Aims For Record · · Score: 1

    Red Bull always does this. After the final jump I'm sure they'll release all kinds of behind-the-scenes and trial jump videos

  7. Re:SOUNDS SEXY !! (Rule #34) on Space Shuttles Discovery and Atlantis Meet One Last Time · · Score: 1
  8. Re:Facebook only listens if you're famous, apparen on George Takei Helps Facebook Troubleshoot MySQL · · Score: 4, Insightful

    George Takei has a lot of fans with us and since we've all Liked his Page, a while back some of us saw an update from him about an inconsistency in his Facebook experience. We realized what he was experiencing was an issue we were already trying to fix on the database side, so when we saw him post, it gave us more information that helped us get closer to resolving the issue. This allowed us to improve his experience, and in turn, the experience of everyone else on Facebook.

    They were already aware of the problem and working on a solution

  9. Re:because you live in a police state on Photographing Police: Deletion Is Not Forever · · Score: 2

    Ya right because our police are sooo much better!! Good ol' RCMP never gets their hands dirty right?
    Oh wait...

  10. Re:How About Frigging Drive Kit Plus on Siri To Power Mercedes-Benz Car Systems · · Score: 1

    This isn't much different than every BMW and Mercedes made in the last 20 years with some kind of cell phone attachment. None of them will last forever, just long enough for the original owner to enjoy.

  11. Re:That's nice. on Google Heads Up Display Coming By the End of the Year · · Score: 1

    Get contacts?
    But seriously, they should still be able to apply your prescription to any lens

  13. Re:Child pornography is not an excuse on Against Online Surveillance? You Must Be 'For' Child Porn, Says Legislator · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't be surprised. Not many countries last this long without some kind of assassination attempt!

    4 years is a long, long time.

  14. Re:Canadian Legislator? on Against Online Surveillance? You Must Be 'For' Child Porn, Says Legislator · · Score: 1

    Dammit. I just realized my mistake and came back to say that.

  15. Re:Canadian Legislator? on Against Online Surveillance? You Must Be 'For' Child Porn, Says Legislator · · Score: 1

    Yes. Our electoral system blows. They have religion and 'tough on crime' to all rally around and the thinking people are split up. Do we get rid of parties? Enact first-past-the-post voting? That didn't pass here in B.C. but I'd love to see it tried at a national level. But it's not like Harper is going to suggest it...

  16. Re:You need special privileges to say that? on Against Online Surveillance? You Must Be 'For' Child Porn, Says Legislator · · Score: 1

    They're attempting to pass wiretapping legislation. I believe everything you've said on the internet can be monitored under the Patriot Act or something, can't it? And if not you can be sure they're listening anyway. At least our assholes ask first!

  17. Re:Canadian Legislator? on Against Online Surveillance? You Must Be 'For' Child Porn, Says Legislator · · Score: 1

    Canadians lean a little left. The conservatives are firmly parked on the right and somehow slipped into a majority government. You see the problem.

  18. Re:Child pornography is not an excuse on Against Online Surveillance? You Must Be 'For' Child Porn, Says Legislator · · Score: 1

    Every e-mail exchange I've had with a member of this Conservative party has left me more irate and disgusted with them than before I started. They know they can't defend these new policies and they don't even try (or they're really as dumb as they seem)

  19. I FUCKING WISH!!!! *extra text to allow me to yell*

    /has Mennonite MP

  20. Conservatives (Though most of them are Albertan. Alberta is our Texas)

  21. Re:Why would it be radically different? on What the iPad 3 Looks Like · · Score: 1

    Maybe with the Retina screen they will update the iPad springboard with widgets and things, more like a desktop

  22. Re:Really? on Twitter Gets Satellite Access · · Score: 1

    Who are these people with half a brain and in what way is their condition related to the zombies?

  23. Re:Whitelist it. on Ask Slashdot: How To Allow Test Takers Internet Access, But Minimize Cheating? · · Score: 1

    They meant you'd leave the phone in your pocket, or in a bag in the room or something, with internet sharing active. You wouldn't need to touch the phone at all.

  24. Re:Whitelist it. on Ask Slashdot: How To Allow Test Takers Internet Access, But Minimize Cheating? · · Score: 1

    What about schools having a testing room similar to what you proposed, though? Or upgrading one or two computer labs for it?

  25. Re:Soon with crappier image quality! on Replacing the World's Largest IMAX Screen · · Score: 3, Informative

    You don't even need to OPEN the article. The video is in the damn summary
