  1. If you're going to go to all that trouble... on New Interactive Map For Understanding Global Flood Risks · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why not go the whole hog and allow for a FALL in sea-level by enabling negative values? Surely we have the necessary sea-floor maps and people who think climate change is running the other way.

  2. Oh... on Robot To Serve Security Detail At FIFA World Cup In Brazil · · Score: 1

    ...so the same the "robots" that have been defusing bombs everywhere for about the last ten years?!

  3. He'll be old when he gets it. on Japanese Man Already Lined Up To Buy iPhone 6 · · Score: 0

    Not from waiting long, but because my aunt likes Apple. She's old and she's the only Apple fan I know. He's probably quite old.

  4. Made available since... on North Korea's Home-Grown Operating System Mimics OS X · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm pretty sure the OS was made public back in 99, not 2010 as has been misreported by this article.

  5. The Onion on Ask Slashdot: What Online News Is Worth Paying For? · · Score: 2

    America's Finest News Source

  6. I'm not sure they need both.... on Apple Reportedly Testing Inductive, Solar and Motion Charging For Its Smartwatch · · Score: 1

    The elderly are in the sun a lot (gardening, etc), but I don't see the kinetic charging being useful for old people. Do Apple really understand the demographic they're marketing to? Inductive charging could go either way.

  7. Grounded, you say? on U.S. Border Patrol Drone Goes Down, Rest of Fleet Grounded · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thanks for the heads up; see you on the other side.

  8. Sounds more like... on Amazon: We Can Ship Items Before Customers Order · · Score: 1

    This sounds more like they want to send you something they think you might want, and oh, if you can't be bothered sending it back, you might as well just buy it.

  9. Turns out it's the injectPacket() function that the NSA uses on the DSP inside every USB connector ever manufactured.

  10. Re:new format not working on Intel Challenges Manufacturers To Avoid "Conflict Metals" · · Score: 1

    You've got to find a security flaw and hack your way in. Slashdot is now an exclusive club.

  11. I guess this is an Apple thing...!? on The iOS 7 Jailbreak Fiasco · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what any of this means, but I'll get my mother to translate in the morning.

  12. BBB on Want a FPGA Board For Your Raspberry Pi Or Beagle Bone? · · Score: 1

    Can I get one for my BeagleBone Black instead?

  13. Wrong shape on Engineering the Perfect Coffee Mug · · Score: 2

    It's too tall and thin; it will tip over easily (not that it matters if it has a spill-proof lid, but still...).

  14. No it cant! on Microsoft's New Smart Bra Could Stop You From Over Eating · · Score: 1

    The Smart Bra can't stop me over eating. The Smart Bro or the Intelligent Manssiere probably could.

  15. Put themselves in the £10-20m? on Piracy Offers Heavy Metal a New Business Model · · Score: 1

    Put themselves in the £10-20m? What does that even mean? Put themselves into the £20M bracket? Put themselves £20M in the black?

  16. The internet on NSA Infected 50,000 Computer Networks With Malicious Software · · Score: 1

    So they infected the internet. That's one. What were the other 49,999?

  17. Tips on Users Identified Through Typing, Mouse Movements · · Score: 1

    I'd be really worried about getting locked out while tipsy.

  18. Use my Pi on Raspberry Pi Hits the 2 Million Mark · · Score: 1

    I use my Raspberry Pi to enable me to tell people that I have a Raspberry Pi.

  19. Projectile vulnerability on Building an 'Invisibility Cloak' With Electromagnetic Fields · · Score: 1

    Good luck scattering and redirecting the rocks I start throwing in every direction once this technology is widely available.

  20. That's that thing... on WxWidgets 3.0: First Major Release in Several Years · · Score: 1

    ... that everyone's using and needs no introduction.

  21. Fire them at the suspect's person on Police Use James-Bond-Style GPS Bullet · · Score: 0

    The chase will end a lot quicker!

  22. Release it all! on UK Prime Minister Threatens To Block Further Snowden Revelations · · Score: 2

    Why don't they just release the remaining data before the UK implement the block?

  23. I would use markdown... on Ask Slashdot: Do You Use Markdown and Pandoc? · · Score: 1

    ... if I knew where to look on /. for a guide to it. I don't even know how to quote a post.

  24. Re: Can I just stand? on Redesigned Seats Let Airlines Squeeze In More Passengers · · Score: 1

    I'd rather lie. Bunk beds three or four high with sedation the whole flight would be quite cheap.

  25. Increased resistor sales on Predicting the Future of Electronics and IT by Watching Component Demand (Video) · · Score: 1

    Resistor sales are up. I don't know what that means for electronics and IT, but I predict the future will be warmer.
