  1. DHS agent who knows what's going on on Citizenfour Director Sues To Find Out Why She Was Detained Every Time She Flew · · Score: 1

    "in at least one instance she was denied the use of a pen to take notes after being told she might use it as a weapon"

    Haha, spot on, Sherlock. She IS using her pen as a weapon. She is a journalist.

  2. Re:Young surface on NASA Unveils Historic Pictures of Pluto · · Score: 1

    I wonder if Pluto's different orbit was taken into account when they estimated the age of the surface. Pluto probably has a significantly smaller chance to crash into another body.

  3. Re:Hmm tough choice on Why a Chinese Buyout of Micron Is Not Likely To Succeed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You live in a fantasy world, if you believe the Chinese wouldn't want access to everything. The actions of these superpowers are not limited by morale, only capabilities. And the Chinese capabilities are steadily growing.

  4. "cure for cancer" on The Cure Culture: Our Obsession With Cures That Are 'Just Around the Corner' · · Score: 4, Informative

    Cancer is so diverse, saying we have cure for cancer is like saying we have cure for viral infections.
    I'm pretty sure lots of cancer types are now curable, and the number is growing.

  5. Re: Airbus is so far behind Pipistrel that they ca on Siemens Sends Do-Not-Fly Order For Pipistrel's All-Electric Channel Crossing · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they just became unplaned.

  6. Re: Lunar penal colony? on UK May Send More People Into Space · · Score: 1

    Make it a lunar penal colony for SJWs then.

  7. Re:Exponential does not just mean "a lot" ... on Extreme Reduction Gearing Device Offers an Amazing Gear Ratio · · Score: 1

    For discrete values, exponential would mean the same.

  8. Re: Good for greece on Greece Rejects EU Terms · · Score: 1

    What do you say about over debted countries that pump money into their welfare instead of their economy.

  9. Re:And it performs poorly..... on Detecting Nudity With AI and OpenCV · · Score: 1

    Except, any healthy male human gets turned on by seeing a shapely female breast. While 99.9% wouldn't be turned on by seeing a pencil.

  10. Re:Just doing their job. on WikiLeaks: NSA Eavesdropped On the Last Three French Presidents · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That wouldn't stop the spying, only legalize it.

  11. Re:No dignity in witchcraft on Is the End of Government Acceptance of Homeopathy In Sight? · · Score: 1

    Decapitation would give 28-31 per month.

  12. Re:Reconciling faith with science on Lawrence Krauss On the Pope's Encyclical: Not Even Close? · · Score: 1

    But you cannot predict a Big Boom.

  13. Re:Lack of Magnetic Field on Venus May Have Active Volcanoes · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute. Mars' thin atmosphere is also explained by the small magnetic field. How could a magnetic field be held responsible for both?
    Especially, when you say the atmosphere would be stripped away by the solar wind. How dense it would be without being stripped away?

  14. Re:Infinity on Ask Slashdot: What's the Harm In a Default Setting For Div By Zero? · · Score: 1

    This is the reason you must know how did you approach 0/0 and usually you want to select a good "default" instead of bailing out with an exception or NaN.

  15. Re:TL;DR on The Future of AI: a Non-Alarmist Viewpoint · · Score: 1

    Short of anything better, cannibalism works for quite some time.

  16. Re:Expensive on An Origami Inspired Bacteria-Powered Battery · · Score: 1

    Did you add the biosensor cost?
    0.05 was the total cost of the device, the bacteria battery is just part of it.

  17. Re: Go Solar, it can make good financial sense. on Solar Power Capacity Installs Surpass Wind and Coal For Second Year · · Score: 1

    Probably you could have done the same, you missed an opportunity.

  18. Re:"Undetermined Payload" on Astrobotic To Take Mexican Payload To the Moon · · Score: 1

    They look for ancient Aztec ruins on the moon.

  19. Re:Cue randroids losing on G7 Vows To Phase Out Fossil Fuels By 2100 · · Score: 1

    You surely meant Moldavia. Slovakia is a bit far from Russia with minimal russian population.

  20. Re:Work with cloned mice on Chinese Doctor Performs Head Transplants On Mice · · Score: 1

    You don't even exist, so your statement is invalid.

  21. Re:Piss-poor situation on Rare 9-way Kidney Swap a Success · · Score: 1

    Actually, you could sell both of your gf's. And there is a liver there too, if she didn't drink too much.

  22. Re: Disgusting... on Placenta Eating Offers No Benefit To Mom · · Score: 1

    Celeb town? We talk about some stupid and hungry celebs.

  23. Re:Please set the thermostat to on Presidential Candidate Lincoln Chaffee Proposes That US Go Metric · · Score: 1

    We set it to 22 C and i'm still alive.

  24. Re:Sounds like BS on 100kb of Unusual Code Protecting Nuclear, ATC and United Nations Systems · · Score: 1

    Alternatively, it has a high rate of false positives. But who cares with collateral damage.

  25. Re:Blame America first on Professional Russian Trolling Exposed · · Score: 1

    The best crowd control is the one that doesn't stay out from the crowd, yet it can steer the flock.
