  1. Re:i must be missing something on Maine School District Gives iPad To Every Kindergartner · · Score: 1

    But the real question is, why would anyone think they are "paying more for less" in the first place?

    Because kids that age learn more from playing with mud and cardboard boxes then sitting in neat rows with expensive teaching aids.

    Of course, this isn't about education. It's about impressing parents and getting them to open their wallets so the head teacher can get that new BMW he's got his eye on.

    This is America, maybe you meant "Corvette".

    Hire only attractive female screeners.

    Yeah, you could hire hooters waitresses and make sure they complement you on the size of your 'weapon' when they grope it. People would be finding excuses to fly.

    "Complain?" LOL!

    So far 99.9999% of the sheeple haven't even bleated.

  5. Re:Triathalon on Robot To Slowly Run Ironman Triathlon Course · · Score: 1

    I'm confused.... are you agreeing or disagreeing?

    Or maybe your idea of 'debate' is just to insult the other person.

  6. Re:Pocket on Smartphones Becoming Computer of Choice in Developing Countries · · Score: 1

    If I wear normal, regular fit Levi 501s then anything in the pockets gets bent when I sit down.

    These days I have to wear pants with pockets in the legs to carry all my gadget stuff ("cargo pants" in the USA). The only other choice is to carry a little handbag with me (but that's not happening).

    I guess all the "huh?" comments are from Americans where 'baggy enough to hide the flab' is the norm for trouser size.

  7. Re:can you patent a hypothetical material? on Algorithm Predicts New Superhard Materials · · Score: 1

    Send it into the past. Once you get farther back than about 50 K-years, it'll be gone, but reusable.

    No need to send it more than a couple of minutes ... the Earth is moving quite fast so displacing an object in time will put it into outer space where it can drift away.

  8. Re:Uhm AWS EC2 Cluster Compute on Ask Slashdot: Clusters On the Cheap? · · Score: 2

    How about setup/installation time. Installing and configuring a whole bunch of machines takes a while.

  9. Re:Propaganda or Bad reporting? on UK Man Jailed For Being a Jerk On the Internet · · Score: 1

    Even if they can prove a particular machine was used to commit the offence, how will they prove who used it?

    I dunno...knock on the door and see who's in the house?

    That isn't even taking into account things such as TOR.

    TOR only exists in some geeky utopia. The average yobbo hasn't even heard of it.

    YouTube has quite a few video clips of big shredders shredding big things.

    They have lots of "antisocial behavior" laws these days in the UK...

  13. Re:So climate science is politics? on Of Diamond Planets, Climate Change, and the Scientific Method · · Score: 1

    There are lots of people who are sticking their fingers in their ears and going "lalalalalalala...".

    The problem is that if they listen then they might have to do something about it. Maybe even change their lifestyle.

    News of a diamond plant doesn't require more than a "that's cool!' from them. Of course they're willing to listen to that.

    Ummmm, you see the bit that says "...per terawatt hour"?

    That's there for a reason.

  15. Re:Oh, a battery article again on Polymer Gel Shows Promise For Smaller, Cheaper Batteries · · Score: 2

    That's down to the marketing department. Batteries have got a lot better but the marketers decided you want smaller gadgets and/or bigger screens, not longer battery life.

  16. Re:ROM Marketplace? on Ask Slashdot: Where Can I Buy Legal Game ROMs? · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is no model for legal roms.

    Sure there is. Just buy PCBs for the games you're interested in. Non-working PCBs will do.

    Wow! This makes all the dumb patents look insignificant.

    it's supposed to get people questioning the way we deal with infringers.

    I'm sure it won't achieve that. All the lawyers will see is how *EASY* it is to steal $5,000,000 if you have an internet connection, then try to ban the Internet.
