  1. Re:There will always be nukes on Forget Hashtag Activism: a Millennial's Guide To Nuclear Weapons Realism · · Score: 1

    oh yes because they're the ones who used nukes on civilian population, invaded countries which didn't attack them on the opposite side of the world from them, provided dictators with money and dual-use tech to build chemical WMD.....yes those are the warmongers of the world who export death

  2. Re:technology? on Interviews: Ask John McAfee About His Presidential Run · · Score: 1

    No it was an uspecified Bachelor of Science degree. He took six month reactor operator training after that. People might be confused as to the term "engineering officer" aboard a nuclear sub, but that is not a designer type of "engineer". A train engine operator type of engineer is closer to truth

  3. my new business plan on Book Review: Abusing the Internet of Things · · Score: 2

    I'm going to sell air-gap-ultrasecured(TM) cars, door locks, baby monitors, etc, that are unreachable from the Internet of Things. They will be impervious to any and all Internet of Things protocols! You might break an encryption key with your ad-hoc compute cluster but grandma's skeleton key is unPwnable!

  4. Re:technology? on Interviews: Ask John McAfee About His Presidential Run · · Score: 1

    Or I'm old; I wasn't around when he was president but was alive when he was writer

  5. Re:uh no on The Campaign To Get Every American Free Money, Every Year · · Score: 0

    We can shoot criminals and sterilize the useless

    no, we don't have to pay for them

  6. Re:It might finally be time for this on The Campaign To Get Every American Free Money, Every Year · · Score: 0

    You're confused, whitey and yellows are the one who work and pays for the brownies.

  7. Re:technology? on Interviews: Ask John McAfee About His Presidential Run · · Score: 1

    But he understood other things too, He was Secretary of Commerce under Harding and worked on relationships between banks, government, business, labor

  8. Re:We NEED to find other intelligent life on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    So God created those lightwaves arriving in the past thousand years, falsely showing exploding stars that would have been tens of thousands of light years away? Is He a liar or a tease?

  9. Re:The night is still young... on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    There are rumors of a reality that doesn't use Slashdot, they are even said to have more than the ten thousand to five male to female ratio present here

  10. Re:Water wheels on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    Sillier than that, we'd first define a Type III civilization as one with water wheels 1 mile in diameter, and then note the lack of them

  11. Re:Wrong conclusion on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    That is the solution to the Fermi Paradox. Civilizations advance enough to invent realistic porn, which is the Singularity after which they immerse and jack off too much instead of fornicating, so the population collapses. This is already in progress in Japan, JAV is causing negative population growth.

  12. Re:Ring world on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    Nessus is stopping by your workstation soon, turn in your Niven card, the Puppeteers had several worlds in their rosette. And they had so much waste heat from their civilization, they didn't need their sun any more so left it behind

  13. Re:Mod parent up! on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    Maybe even -1. What was that quote about Ghandi saying western civilization "would be a good idea"?

  14. But there are ways to detect things at a distance. The composition of atmosphere on a world with carbon based life, the effects of civilization on atmosphere, the exhausts of fusion or fission powered craft (if more advanced than us) would be detectable

  15. Re:Why assume inefficiency? on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 2

    no, there is no known material that could make a ringworld, nor any known energy source that could set one spinning to have simulated 1 g field for inhabitents. its tensile strength is of the order of the atomic nucleus, and the energy to spin it would require many Jupiter sized worlds to be converted to energy

  16. technology? on Interviews: Ask John McAfee About His Presidential Run · · Score: 3, Insightful

    that's the least of a president's worries. Trade, strategic alliances, military actions, departments of education, transportation, etc.......

    never vote for someone just because they "understand technology", and the fundamental problems of the USA even regarding privacy are not in the realm of technology, but rather of who really wields power. Someone who doesn't understand corporate fascism will only become part of the problem

  17. Re:I'd like mine ... on Cancer Patient Receives 3D-Printed Titanium Sternum and Ribs · · Score: 1

    that's been put on hold by the FDA until suitable non-toxic alternative to palladium is demonstrated, and in unrelated news many fried corpses of "makers" attempting to tap into 345KV feeder lines have been reported in several states

  18. "I shall file a strongly worded complaint" LOLZ on How To Find Out If GCHQ and the NSA Spied On You, and How To Complain · · Score: 3, Insightful

    really, filing a complaint with a UK charity that has 8 employees?? Even I'm laughing hard, and I'm a victim of government spying. Word your complaint with boulders in the desert so it's visible from outer space while you're at it, it'll do fuck-all as much good

  19. Re:I call BS on this "study" on The Correlation Between Arts and Crafts and a Nobel Prize · · Score: 1

    Wrong, Einstein was said to play the violin very well, even by famous musicians, look up things before making up things.

    Nobel prize winners don't have any more than anyone else with a biography. you have no point

  20. Re:Green House Gases? on Elon Musk's Latest Idea: Let's Nuke Mars · · Score: 2

    Hey God told Bush we had to go to Mars. After freeing Iraq from tyranny. You haven't been listening to His Burning Shrub.

  21. Re:Dark Matter and Energy on Why the LHC May Mean the End of Experimental Particle Physics · · Score: 1

    We may not need the LHC or anything like it to find dark matter particles

  22. Re:Dark Matter and Energy on Why the LHC May Mean the End of Experimental Particle Physics · · Score: 2

    False.

    The universe can produce ZeV range particles 10^21, already there are experiments in the works to detect dark matter decays from cosmic rays. Turns out we only need very sensitive detectors for expected decay products.

  23. won't even push an attacker away on New Tech Puts the Brakes On Bullets Fired From Police Sidearms · · Score: 1

    The nonsense portrayed on Hollywood and TV is false, a handgun bullet does not have enough momentum to knock a person down or even push their body backward, it's LESS than what the shooter feels as some momentum lost to air.

    Now there are guns, that humans cannot hold, that can knock a person down (or blow them completely apart).

    This "invention" is rubbish, is dangerous to cops and citizens who need protecting.

  24. Re:Password cracked? on Ashley Madison's Passwords Cracked, Soon To Be Released · · Score: 1

    oh no, using the exact one from the comic would be insecure. you have to change at least two of the words around

  25. Re:Here's a better idea on Chinese Tech Companies Hire 'Cheerleaders' To Motivate Programmers · · Score: 1

    you're confused, in asia they have women programmers. in asia they don't BS themselves about what motivates on gender vs. another though.

    Here we do, but's its just a sham
