...and that's only the stuff they had to specifically request. Most of the stuff they can hoover up automatically so they don't need no steenkin' NSLs.
Vibrators and fleshlights are very successful products for loser nerds.
How does spending all your money/free time trying to attract (usually) the most superficial/uninteresting members of the opposite sex make you a "winner"?
Yep. Proving things is harmful in a complex system can be almost impossible. eg. They couldn't prove that smoking causes cancer, but was there any real doubt?
This is just designed so they can stonewall anything the EPA proposes.
Ummm.... I think he was referring to the fact that the people who made the most money during the California gold rush were the people who sold picks/shovels/mules to the prospectors.
The same thing is going on here - it's far more profitable to sell the ASICs to miners than it is to plug them in and use them.

And there was loads of software for the ZX at launch, then?
The ZX wasn't obsolete at launch. The QL was.
...doesn't even appear to mention the official page of the crowdfunding campaign
A direct link the the page...? You must be new here.
Did they mean "2nd biggest"?
Why not just write "Second biggest"?
Is that with hindsight or without?
How many "models" are going unreported because they didn't work out too well?
or perhaps 38000 fathers that skipped out on their child support....or 38000 bail jumpers...38000 wanted felons...etc etc
All of those were matters of "National Security", obviously...
...and that's only the stuff they had to specifically request. Most of the stuff they can hoover up automatically so they don't need no steenkin' NSLs.
38,000 terrorists were caught, obviously. Millions of American lives were saved and you're worried about protocols and paperwork...?
Wow, you guys are all really advanced! I'm still mastering Space Invaders/Asteroids.

I assumed that when google glass is recording, a noticeable LED is lit on the front.
People with creepy and rude intentions will stick some tape over it.
(Duh)
I don't see why such an obviously-for-personal-profit question should even be allowed on Slashdot...just sayin'.
At least this one admits to working for MS.
I swear, I have seen more shills flood the internet advocating Windows8 than for any other product in history.
They're probably paying him extra for this little speech.
Or blackmailing him.
My guess: Microsoft have prepared a little "astroturf" speech for him and are paying him to say this.
I smell a rat.

This is a bill coming from the GOP??? and its pro transparent science?? Color me skeptical, but this looks like a good idea to me
It's aimed specifically at the EPA and it's designed so they can basically block anything they don't like.
Remember how nobody could *prove* that smoking causes cancer? That's the way this is going to go...
Why only the EPA?
Why not all the other stuff the government does?
LEGO is supposed to be able to build anything, right?
So how come all those kits in the shop have special parts in them? May kits have parts that are only used in that on specific kit.

Instead of being an ass, Clearly post your issues to the correct authority, instead of spamming the message boards over and over again.
People have been saying "Beta sucks" for ages.
It's not just a matter of them using the wrong colors, the new comments system is unusable.
How much did you pay for Slashdot?
It's a business. They make money somehow...
Either some people do not know how to behave, or this site has a major failure.
Correct.

With "ads off" button checked, (not to mention adblock and safescript running,
Only people who post in the discussions get the magic "ads off" button.
What is slashdot without the posters? You think people come here to read the crappy summaries?
every bitcoin in existence has a combined value less than $10B.
Are you sure? It's just gone crashing down again....
Because mining the Bitcoin miners is more profitable.
