  2. Meme fail on New RC4 Encryption Attacks Reduces Plaintext Recovery Time · · Score: 3, Informative

    "All Your Biases Are Belong To Us"

    FTFY

  3. But will it run... on "Invite-Only" Ubuntu Mobile-Powered Meizu UX4 Goes On Sale · · Score: 1
  4. Hague Time on Judge Orders Dutch Government To Finally Take Action On Climate Promises · · Score: 1

    The Dutch government did not make legally enforceable promises to their own people. They made promises to other sovereign states. In other words, it is up to the other parties of the contract (the other countries) to force the Dutch government to follow through on the promises, not some activist judge.

    100% correct. On to the International Court of Justice then... in The Hague. Oh the irony!

  5. Obligatory... on Building the Face of a Criminal From DNA · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, red-head...

  6. Re:No National Center for Men & Tech...? on Learn-to-Code Program For 10,000 Low-Income Girls · · Score: 4, Funny

    Let me guess... you also want there to be a National Association for the Advancement of White People, don't you?

    Nah, the NAACP already does that through their Spokane chapter.

  7. Anthropogenic selection on 3D Printing Might Save the Rhinoceros · · Score: 1

    Just breed hornless rhinos.

  8. Subsidy overrun on Tesla Rewards Hackers With Bug Bounty · · Score: 1

    ...and the check is in the mail!

  9. They're doing it wrong on Placenta Eating Offers No Benefit To Mom · · Score: 1

    Fava beans and a nice chianti, people!

  10. Re:Metadata only? on New Test Could Reveal Every Virus That's Ever Infected You · · Score: 1

    Next they will be saying that the test only looks at the Virus' metadata. They will only be logging the numbers of those who infected you, but not look at the actual antibodies.

    Cute, but antibodies are metadata .

  11. Fun fact on NOAA: Global Warming 'Pause' Never Happened · · Score: 1

    Algor means "cooling" in Latin.

  12. Re:Do they really mean "chaotic"? on Pluto's Outer Moons Orbit Chaotically, With Unpredictable Sunrises and Sunsets · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes. It's an n-body dynamical system.

  13. Re:What does that even mean on Gravitational Anomalies Beneath Mountains Point To Isostasy of Earth's Crust · · Score: 1

    Just clear the path. Nobody likes Phobos anyway.

    Cute, but on Red Mars Phobos fears YOU!

  14. Speaking of dating old tools... on Oldest Stone Tools Predate Previous Record Holder By 700,000 Years · · Score: 1, Funny

    I wonder who's with Larry Ellison these days.

  15. Re:Fun fact on At the Track With Formula E, the First e-Racing Series · · Score: 1

    You forgot the quotes over "fun".

    I'll put them in as soon as Slashdot does the same for News for "Nerds".

  16. Fun fact on At the Track With Formula E, the First e-Racing Series · · Score: 4, Interesting

    All the Formula E cars are charged using a single generator that uses glycerol as fuel.

  17. Hubris... on What If We Lost the Sky? · · Score: 1

    This magnitude of hubris is really staggering. It's like saying:

    "Fluoride seems to lessen the occurrence of tooth cavities, so let's just fluoridate all the water supplies!"

  18. Economic/system collapse = End of civilization on Oxford University Researchers List 12 Global Risks To Human Civilization · · Score: 1

    Overall, there are only IMHO two that are probable (bad governance, economic/system collapse)

    System collapse is not a cause, that's what the end of civilization is! And whatever "governance" there may have been before collapse will necessarily be considered "bad".

  19. Wrong department on The iPad Is 5 Years Old This Week, But You Still Don't Need One · · Score: 1

    This story should have come from the "well-thats-not-very-exciting dept."!

  20. "Do not yet exist"? on UN to Debate Use of Fully Autonomous Weapons, New Report Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't mines qualify as "autonomous weapons"?

  21. UI fail on Book Review: Designing With the Mind In Mind · · Score: 0

    tl;dr

    Also, while we're at it... Beta!

  22. Das Rubik Cube on The People Who Are Still Addicted To the Rubik's Cube · · Score: 3, Funny

    My old man gave me a cube when I was a kid, and told me that the easiest colour to solve is black ;-)

    That was the special edition Das Rubik Cube.

  23. Re:and yet they can't avoid Apple Cider Vinegar on Fruit Flies, Fighter Jets Use Similar Evasive Tactics When Attacked · · Score: 2

    and yet they can't avoid Apple Cider Vinegar

    Give them time to evolve a defence against the Reality Distortion Field.

  24. Hooters on Google: Teach Girls Coding, Get $2,500; Teach Boys, Get $0 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The key difference is between between separate treatment and unequal treatment.

    The male waiters with man-boobs at Hooters definitely get unequal treatment.

  25. Jerk on Navy Debuts New Railgun That Launches Shells at Mach 7 · · Score: 1

    The recoil is lower than a conventiomal chemical gun for the same projectile and speed because no gas is accelerated with the projectile.

    The subjective perception of recoil is really a function of (given constant mass) jerk not acceleration.
