  1. Re:Will he be live streaming this? on An Open Source, DIY Spacesuit Is About To Get Its First Life Or Death Test (reddit.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Publicity. The relevant aspects of the suit as a pressure vessel can be tested on the ground using standard compressors, vacuum pumps, and heat exchangers. Add in particle sources and you should have most of your ambient environmental conditions covered. Then you take it to pieces in the lab and see what broke down.

    On the other hand, cost for a flight might actually be cheaper than the analytical instruments. You still need to take apart the suit in the lab afterward.

  2. Re:I'm not worried on Bluetooth Security Flaw Could Let Nearby Attacker Grab Your Private Data (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    On the flip side of that, I have an excellent pair of LG Bluetooth earbuds which I wear constantly and use to take calls while working or otherwise occupied. Frequently my phone is 20-30 feet away charging, and they work pretty reasonably out to that range. I'd like to keep my calls private (you're welcome to listen to my Pandora stations, if you have a Vogon taste in music).

    I didn't RTFA; and I barely skimmed TFS. Is there a list of known bad implementations?

  3. Re:The attack: DNS rebinding on IoT Security Flaw Leaves 496 Million Devices Vulnerable At Businesses, Report Says (crn.com) · · Score: 3

    This is the Slashdot I remember. :)

  4. This is pretty stupid, even by Slashdot standards.

  5. They will of course find a scapegoat--surely they use version control. Said scapegoat will be fired, and then it'll be on to the next set of backdoors.

  6. Brilliant.

  7. Re:Less safe.. great argument.... on FBI Director: Without Compromise on Encryption, Legislation May Be the 'Remedy' (cyberscoop.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, screwed the pooch on that preview, didn't we now. You don't give any random person your house key, do you now?

  8. Re:Less safe.. great argument.... on FBI Director: Without Compromise on Encryption, Legislation May Be the 'Remedy' (cyberscoop.com) · · Score: 2

    People are absolutely less safe by the use of backdoors in encryption. You don't give any random person on the street, do you now? When did it become a law that we give our house keys to the government?

    Government mandated backdoors are absolutely and utterly untenable in a free society.

  9. Re:our, not are on Dr. Frances Kelsey, Who Saved American Babies From Thalidomide, Dies At 101 · · Score: 1

    You managed to miss the entire comment thread on this exact topic, posted over three hours ago. Bravo. /slow clap.

    He sounds like an SJW, so I don't believe you or your links.

    Ad hominem, round #2, FIGHT!

    (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

    For those of you who forgot what the term means, since the last time I pointed out a clear ad hominem, I was met with downvotes. Okay, go ahead and mod me down now.

    What else

    Medical research was the original option given by the GGP.

  12. Re:But but but.. on Dr. Frances Kelsey, Who Saved American Babies From Thalidomide, Dies At 101 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Uh, maybe I'm missing something, but you two seem to be violently agreeing.

    If you make a claim, you need to back it up. This isn't a political convention.

    Citation please.

    Knowledge is a weapon. Thought is a crime.

  15. Dr. Kelsey Was A Woman on Dr. Frances Kelsey, Who Saved American Babies From Thalidomide, Dies At 101 · · Score: 1

    I think we should celebrate trolls on Slashdot who can't even be bothered to read TFS, for fear they might get something correct in their comments.

    These brave trolls bear the ignominious weight of enlightening us poor savages and releasing us from our bonds of servitude to factual correctness. This Bud's for you, troll!

  16. Re:What were their skin color and religion? on French Killers Inspired By Breaking Bad TV Show · · Score: 1

    Peanuts, and a trombone.

  17. Re:Don't use a metal tub or HCL on French Killers Inspired By Breaking Bad TV Show · · Score: 1

    Do you want to elaborate on how you came to have a preference in the first place?

    You're a fucking moron, and so is anyone else stupid enough to believe that hoax.

  20. Re:Goat on The Man Who's Kept His Face Off the Internet for 20 Years · · Score: 1

    I've read Slashdot all these years and never realized that he'd been tracked down.

    I read some of that first article with an undue amount of fascination. I might be slightly traumatized and/or screwed in the head from being trolled on Slashdot year after year, but I found it undeniably fascinating that it's not just some random photoshop.

    TIL, and today I wished I didn't...

    Herald the guy

    Dr. Frances Kelsey was a woman.

  22. Re: More like "Dumb and Dumber" on French Killers Inspired By Breaking Bad TV Show · · Score: 1

    So you use Search Engine X. How do you know they're not tracking you, just like any other search engine? Do you have information on their internal operations? Do you have some compelling reason to trust them over any other search engine Y?

    Your choice of search engine is irrelevant. You should be considering disconnecting yourself entirely from your searches.

    Calling you a dumbass would be an insult to donkeys.

  23. Re:better solution on French Killers Inspired By Breaking Bad TV Show · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Strong bases would work just fine for breaking down protein. Then you take the bones and digest them in the acid of your choice.

    Shit, even StackExchange will help you dispose of a body.

  24. Re:Pussies on French Killers Inspired By Breaking Bad TV Show · · Score: 1

    Nukes are an awfully expensive way to dispose of a corpse unless you've got some sort of batch processing going on.

  25. Re:Why are you arguing about facts? on French Killers Inspired By Breaking Bad TV Show · · Score: 1

    This is Slashdot. Try to think of TFA, TFS, TFH, etc. as writing prompts.
