  1. Re:Encryption on Tapping Data From Radio-Controlled Bus Stop Displays · · Score: 1

    not everyone is Russian, some are real Slovene

  2. Re:Awesome! on Docker 0.7 Runs On All Linux Distributions · · Score: 1

    you fail at having any understanding of proper technical journalism, just as the summary writer did. Slashdot is becoming electronic tabloid trash.

  3. Re:"Even normal people can turn empathy off..." on The Neuroscientist Who Discovered He Was a Psychopath · · Score: 1

    that is not being psychopath, humans normally don't care about people with which they have no interaction. you are advocating an abnormal behaviour

  4. Re:Or, perhaps the test is not 100% selective on The Neuroscientist Who Discovered He Was a Psychopath · · Score: 1

    that's only a symptom of the conditioning done on the populace

  5. Re:Oh boy! on Digital Taste Interface · · Score: 1

    if a pill could do that most women would beg to perform fellatio, and swallow

  6. Re:Diabetics on Digital Taste Interface · · Score: 1

    the same scenario that has advanced the frontiers of digital communications technology, new and better types of porn. In this case, the genres are obvious

  7. Re:Or, perhaps the test is not 100% selective on The Neuroscientist Who Discovered He Was a Psychopath · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the definitions we are given are often oversimplified. Psychopaths can have empathy, love and other feelings for others. But it appears they can turn them off at will. Use your favorite search engine and read about the studies, fascinating stuff.

    Even normal people can turn empathy off under certain circumstances or through conditioning.

    "Finnish"?? hah, what a silly name. is that what your imaginery fish friends spoke in your childhood?

  9. Re:So what? on Japan Aims To Win Exascale Race · · Score: 0

    we're already producing useless and fictitious climate models, we don't need more advanced hardware to continue that money-wasting farce.

    no big deal if Japan makes first exascale machines, the US can just buy them or lease time on them. the USA already has the most advanced HPC software

  10. Re:Snapshots? on Failed Software Upgrade Halts Transit Service · · Score: 1

    you can do snapshots by other means than having VM software. Many volume managers and filesystems can do it, and some disk array controllers have that built in

  11. Re:The plateu of supercomputing is a good thing. on Warning At SC13 That Supercomputing Will Plateau Without a Disruptive Technology · · Score: 1

    they mostly just need storage, for later when they need dirt on any particular person

  12. Re:Didn't that boat sail with the Cray Y-MP? on Warning At SC13 That Supercomputing Will Plateau Without a Disruptive Technology · · Score: 1

    the attempts to make large chips and supercomputers failed spectacularly for good reason, even at the slow speeds of the early 1990s the stuff had to be in a bucket of coolant. that bad choice of GaAs made the cray 3 fail.

  13. Re:WTF Modern Science on Ancient Egyptians Created "Meat Mummies" So Dead Could Continue To Eat · · Score: 2

    not impossible at all, any competent civil engineer can tell you how to do it with or without machines.

    those sensationist articles you read claiming otherwise were not written by engineers.

  15. Re: That's a shame on Skydiving Accident Leaves Security Guru Cedric 'Sid' Blancher Dead At 37 · · Score: 1

    use real math *per trip* instead of your nonsense calculations.

    I think I'll go with professionally trained engineering physicist who minored in math rather than internet commentator

  16. Lemmings Don't Commit Suicide on How Snapchat Could March Startups Right Off the Cliff, Lemming-Style · · Score: 2

    Lemmings don't commit suicide by cliff or any other means, Disney actually rigged up a turntable to fling them off cliff for their "documentary" White Wilderness

  17. Re:Mine Scares Cats on Raspberry Pi Hits the 2 Million Mark · · Score: 1

    pistols should only be used by the Mark I wetware analog system

    I actually like cats, cat I had growing up never cared for anything in the garden, he'd just hunt and eat bugs and spiders. he didn't even care about catnip. he would eat grass from the lawn, though

  18. Re: That's a shame on Skydiving Accident Leaves Security Guru Cedric 'Sid' Blancher Dead At 37 · · Score: 1

    no, not if you count the number of deaths per 1000 trips.

  19. Re: Security 101 on Skydiving Accident Leaves Security Guru Cedric 'Sid' Blancher Dead At 37 · · Score: 1

    the correct question would be how many people die while skydiving compared to those who jump out of their vehicle at 120 MPH?

  20. Re:Some Info: Dark Sky vs. Twilight Viewing on Comet ISON Nears Date With Sun · · Score: 1

    no, the 70s were the era of smog. I was there

  21. Re: So, time to scrap TSA/airport security checks on Object Lessons: Evan Booth's Post-Checkpoint Airport Weapons · · Score: 1

    attempt on *cargo planes* from arab lands in *packages*? that's the best you can do for fear-mongering?

    you can have the TSA irradiate, grope, fondle, and put the packages in line for days if it makes you feel better

  22. Re:Mine Scares Cats on Raspberry Pi Hits the 2 Million Mark · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    a used .22 LR pistol can be had for a quarter the price, and the same cat never comes back to bother your garden

    the area evacuated is about 12 miles in radius, it's mostly a local problem.

  25. Re:PE exam you can do with a slide rule on Ask Slashdot: Cheap Second Calculators For Tests? · · Score: 1

    depends on which specific models are in question, some don't do everything I would need and that pickett circular one is trash because of lack of precision & accuracy on small inner scales. the really cool ones have the hyperbolic functions for patterning some antenna designs
