  1. Horrible grammar on Linux Kernel 4.14 Will Be An LTS Release (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    "Development of the Linux 4.14 kernel series did not even start" I can't even get past the first clause, much less the first sentence.

  2. "yjr atmosphere" on Alaska Gets 'Artificial Aurora' As HAARP Antenna Array Listens Again (hackaday.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    "yjr atmosphere" How does this get posted? I mean, "yjr" isn't even a word, even the browser spell checker flags that. Pitiful.

  3. Is it 4 "w" or "3" on The Problem With Google AMP (80x24.net) · · Score: 1

    The summary says "https://wwww.google.com/amp/", so is it the usual 3 w's and the summary is wrong? Or is it the unique 4 w's that makes the URL so unique? Who knows? Who cares?

  4. Immediate disable on Feds Unveil Rule Requiring Cars To 'Talk' To Each Other (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    If I ever purchase a car with this capabiility, I will immediately physically disable it. This whole concept is stupid. No one should rely on the other vehicles telemetry to operate. In fact, there are self-driving prototypes right now that operate without any telemetry. Another case where the government is way too late and too stupid.

  5. Worry about this message on Texas Traffic Signs Hacked With Anti-Trump and Anti-Hillary Messages (hackread.com) · · Score: 1

    KLAATU BARATA NIKTO.

  6. Re:This is supposed to be the *WAY* they do their on Emails Cast Unflattering Light On Internal Politics of Healthcare.gov Rollout · · Score: 2, Informative

    Good thing the health care fairy provided all that coverage for free, or else we'd have to talk about the costs of all that new coverage, which you conveniently ignored.

  7. Re:Pecions? on FAA Scans the Internet For Drone Users; Sends Cease and Desist Letters · · Score: 2

    It's about as bad as "arcular". I'm guessing they meant "circular", but who knows.

  8. Old news on It's Easy To Hack Traffic Lights · · Score: 4, Informative

    This was central to the plot of the Italian Job. The real Napster took care of it.

  9. It can't be worse than Lotus Notes.

  10. love it on Unintended Consequences For Traffic Safety Feature · · Score: 2

    I love these crosswalk countdown timers at intersections. Perfect for letting you know if you can make the light or need to forget it and brake. I'm not sure how the timers are increasing pedestrian fatalities, since the only people crossing should be with the flow of traffic, not across it.

  11. The Green Option on IRS Recycled Lerner Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Did they recycle the lost e-mails also? I hate to just throw away those electrons, better to recycle them.

  12. Can't wait on The Energy Saved By Ditching DVDs Could Power 200,000 Homes · · Score: 1, Funny

    I can't wait for Bennett Haselton's comments on this study.

  13. Re:depends. on Is It Really GPS If It Doesn't Use Satellites? · · Score: 1

    I'm amazed that someone on Slashdot knows about EPLRS and furthermore knows that it was initially intended for positioning only.

  14. Weather vs. climate on Studies: Wildfires Worse Due To Global Warming · · Score: 1, Troll

    All weather supports global warming until it doesn't. Then it's just weather.

  15. iPad Fever? on iPad Fever Is Officially Cooling · · Score: 1

    Is iPad fever worse than Pac Man Fever? https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  16. Re:So that's what the model is based on on US Requirement For Software Dev Certification Raises Questions · · Score: 1

    State vs federal rights - car insurance is irrelevant to health insurance. Learn about federalism some time.

  17. Better Choice on The Strange Story Of the Sculpture On the Moon · · Score: 1

    The MTV "Moon Man" would have been far better statue than that piece of junk.

  18. Re:inane subject here on Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Depressing Sci-fi You've Ever Read? · · Score: 2

    I second "I have No Mouth and I must scream". I always thought it would make a great movie.

  19. Good riddance on The Gradual Death of the Brick and Mortar Tech Store · · Score: 1

    I say good riddance to Best Buy. They are all actively offensive, blaring loud music as you walk in. They did have the best price on Wiimotes lately, so I bought them there. Needless to say, I spent the least amount of time in the store as possible.

  20. Re:Electronic Voting on Publicly Available Russian Election Results Hint At Fraud · · Score: 1

    she had to fight with them over residency because the Republicans running voter registration were trying to claim that spouses living on military base property were not "in the state" for purposes of residency.

    So was she disenfranchised or not? You say "trying" as if they never succeeded.

    Let's read your article, shall we you fucking liar?

    What did I lie about? You claimed Republicans were trying to prevent military absentee ballots from being counted, I found a recent law that supports and encourages this practice, which apparently is being poorly implemented by Obama. The only lie is your assertion that Republicans are trying to prevent military from voting absentee, it looks like Obama is doing that all on his own.

    I couldn't follow the rest of your rant, it's just too convoluted.

    Actually, YES. Military veterans who can't operate a car due to blinding or paralysis or leg amputation, for starters.

    So, that would only prevent them from getting a driver's license. They can get no other form of ID?

    Republicans have also been on the forefront of trying to get as many absentee military ballots thrown out as possible,

    If it's a giant Republican conspiracy, then why did Congress pass a law supporting absentee military ballots that Obama has been slow to implement? http://washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/2011/07/obamas-bumblers-damage-military-voting-rights

    since the rank-and-file are paid shit wages thanks to the machinations of those same Republicans and tend, being poor and supporting families on wages that require public assistance (fully 40% of the US military families are so poor they qualify for food stamps!),

    Not true: "A 2003 Department of Defense study, the most recent available, found that 2,100 active-duty members received food stamps in 2002...The fact that some enlisted members and even a few officers received (food stamps) was more a result of larger household sizes and living in government quarters than an indicator of inadequate military compensation." http://www.military.com/news/article/2011/food-stamp-use-at-military-commissaries-up-sharply.html

    Oh, and let's not forget the machinations of Republicans trying to make it as difficult as possible for military spouses to vote in the state they live in when their spouse is shipped to another "home base" in another state. My aunt was disenfranchised by the lying Republican assholes for 5 years due to all that crap.

    Yes, I'm sure there is a giant conspiracy to prevent your aunt from voting. I don't think it takes 5 years to establish state residency anywhere.

    Who is being disenfranchised? Are there any veterans who have a VA card as their ONLY form of ID?

  23. Re:Electroadhesive robots on New Robots Developed To Climb Walls · · Score: 1

    You got me - I'm FOR cluster bombs everywhere. Putting aside the issue of the effectiveness of cluster bombs, my only point was that most of the "100 nations" probably don't have cluster bombs (or an effective air force to use them) in the first place. Their "ban" is in name only.

  24. Re:Electroadhesive robots on New Robots Developed To Climb Walls · · Score: 1

    It's pretty easy to ban something you don't even have. They should ban time travel while they're at it.

  25. Re:Agriculture inspection exiting Hawaii on What Examples of Security Theater Have You Encountered? · · Score: 1

    In the Honolulu airport, you must go through the ag inspection point for that airline. If you are flying United, you can only use United's ag inspection point, etc. Why? What does it matter? I saw several passengers that had mistakenly used the "wrong" ag inspection point and had to be scanned again. What's the point? Is United's ag inspection better than Norwestern's?
