  1. Re:Buggy whips? on The Koch Brothers Attack On Solar Energy · · Score: 1

    I bet you also don't own a TV.

  2. Re:Buggy whips? on The Koch Brothers Attack On Solar Energy · · Score: 1

    Chicken Little was just a forward thinker.

    And hey, someday that boy might get eaten by a wolf.

  3. Netflix? on Comcast Offers To Shed 3.9 Million Subscribers To Ease Cable Deal · · Score: 1

    It's funny how they can keep a straight face and request a merger that'll make them bigger when they are currently actively abusing their literal government granted data transmission (as opposed to MS's 'virtual' OS) monopoly to extort money from other content providers like Netflix.

    The only condition I would put on this merger is that Comcast separates wholly from NBC/Universal/etc. content providers, and becomes just a data pipe common carrier.

  4. Re:I am just amazed at the total lack of wreckage on Australian Exploration Company Believes It May Have Found MH370 Wreckage · · Score: 1

    My theory is that the Pilot wanted to go out famous.

    Incapacitated the co-pilot (or just locked him out of the cockpit with the post 9/11 doors) avoid radar while the co-pilot tries his cell phone as a last ditch effort.
    Take out the passengers by climbing too high, and venting the cabin (I don't know if it's possible to vent the cabin from the cockpit like that...)
    Land in the water as intact as possible over a trench, and let it slowly sink, to minimize random debris.

  5. Re:Does it make me a bad person... on Australian Exploration Company Believes It May Have Found MH370 Wreckage · · Score: 0

    Reality has a liberal bias.

  6. Re:Kill it with MAGMA! on Waste Management: The Critical Element For Nuclear Energy Expansion · · Score: 1

    Why not drop sealed casks into 5 mile deep trenches?

    It's not like there are monsterous creatures lurking in the depths that it would be unwise to awaken.

  7. P2P VPN? on Hulu Blocks VPN Users · · Score: 1

    Tor would be overkill for this, but is there any lighter-weight p2p based VPN system, ideally where you could select you out node's country or something?

    I'd let a Brit route through my home connection a little, if I could get to the BBC sites in return.

  8. Re:Barrotrauma on "Going Up" At 45 Mph: Hitachi To Deliver World's Fastest Elevator · · Score: 1

    Hell, I had an air bubble underneath a filling in a tooth... going up or down hill too fast was... painful.

  9. Re:Overhead *should* be small. on How Much Data Plan Bandwidth Is Wasted By DRM? · · Score: 2

    The DRM doesn't have to encrypt every bit to be effective.

    if the audio track + a strip of the green color channel in the middle of the image were all that was encrypted, no one would want to watch it without those portions, but it would use a fraction of the time to decrypt.

  10. Re:P2P on How Much Data Plan Bandwidth Is Wasted By DRM? · · Score: 1

    less costly bandwidth tho.

  11. Re:36 million gallons? on Why Portland Should Have Kept Its Water, Urine and All · · Score: 1

    I dropped the estimated number of floors somewhere.

  12. Re:36 million gallons? on Why Portland Should Have Kept Its Water, Urine and All · · Score: 1

    rough estimate, about 60 times the volume of the 3 main Library of Congress buildings combined

  13. Re:Someone call Ben Affleck on Declassified Papers Hint US Uranium May Have Ended Up In Israeli Arms · · Score: 1

    The Chinese have 'issues' with Muslims wanting their land as well.

  14. Re:Possibly Worse Than That on Click Like? You May Have Given Up the Right To Sue · · Score: 2

    Correct, the legal term is 'Meeting of the Minds'

  15. Re:most lego's are a rip off on Kids Can Swipe a Screen But Can't Use LEGOs · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a fun computation problem. (or maybe a 'Redmond-style' job interview question)

    You have 2 2x8 lego bricks, how many ways can they be put together?

    How about 3?

    4?

  16. If I have kids... on Kids Can Swipe a Screen But Can't Use LEGOs · · Score: 1

    I won't let them use a computer until they are 5.

    They they'll get taken away by CPS.

  17. Jeesh, make a federal case of it why don't you... on Student Records Kids Who Bully Him, Then Gets Threatened With Wiretapping Charge · · Score: 1

    Seriously, federal civil rights lawsuit.

    Start with subpoena of the entire school districts disciplinary records for the last 50 years. The photocopy costs alone will have them begging to settle.

  18. There is already a movie about this. on Your StarCraft II Potential Peaked At Age 24 · · Score: 1

    It's called "Logan's Run"

  19. Only Comcast cable here... on Netflix Gets What It Pays For: Comcast Streaming Speeds Skyrocket · · Score: 1

    So, does TIVO work with OTA HD signals?

  20. Re:You can get autism from measles. on Jenny McCarthy: "I Am Not Anti-Vaccine'" · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's whatever they use to replace Lead in Unleaded gasoline...

  21. Re:I can't use cloudflare, connection is insecure on Private Keys Stolen Within Hours From Heartbleed OpenSSL Site · · Score: 1

    In case no one noticed, MS view on security has changed a LOT since Windows 95 and IE 6.

  22. Re:Gotta board this train soon on UN: Renewables, Nuclear Must Triple To Save Climate · · Score: 0

    A stopped clock is right twice a day.

  23. Re:Antibiotics on Ask Slashdot: Are You Apocalypse-Useful? · · Score: 2

    In at least one universe, yes.

  24. Tonight on Fox: on Study Rules Out Global Warming Being a Natural Fluctuation With 99% Certainty · · Score: 1

    Scientists not 100% certain that climate change isn't natural.

  25. Re:Not just an RC Plane on FAA Shuts Down Search-and-Rescue Drones · · Score: 1

    It's all well and good until it collides with a manned SAR Helicopter, killing a few paramedics...
