  1. Re:Need to focus on priorities here! on One Third of California's Trees Are Dead (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    Combined with these little buggers it doesn't help the situation

  2. Re:Do not want on US Government Launches Code.gov To Showcase Its Open Source Software (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What about citizens contributing so such said disasters are avoided while potentially decreasing the cost (in the form of decreased taxes)?

    That is all ...

  4. Hello Bernie, do you approve of the charges .... /nods

  5. Interesting. I just cut mine (5 boxes + movie channels) and I cut my bill by $120. Calculating the offset of other content providers I am at a net gain of about $80 so it's a win for my situation.

  6. Re:Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss? on Cable TV Companies Could Lose Nearly $1 Billion in the Next Year From People Ditching Their Subscriptions (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Your assumption is many have switched to a new corporate overload but most may have just cut their bill substantially by dropping the TV out of their package. The real question is ... when are they just going to up the price of internet and include it all for that same bloated price and we are back to square one.

  7. Something smells a little funny about this to me.

  8. Clearly the only "Safe" option is using telepathy.

  9. Re:An easier sollution on Ask Slashdot: Can Technology Prevent Shootings? · · Score: 1

    Then they will just resort to bombs and other mechanisms. Taking away guns or arming everyone is the same solution that won't work and are assinine solutions.

  10. Meh! Went back and got a BS and MS in CPSC. It worked out well for me. Hard work does pay off.

  11. Re:Gap year... pfft! on Taking a 'Gap Year' Before College Is a British Tradition That's Becoming a Big Trend In The US (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I took a gap year (kind of). I didn't know what I wanted to do. Worked 3 jobs that year. Decided I need to go to school and not work 3 jobs.

  12. Re:Polar ice caps might all melt away too... on Oceans Could Soon Not Have Enough Oxygen To Support Marine Life (iflscience.com) · · Score: 1

    Something is always happening, whether someone is predicting specifically what's happening is another story.

  13. Considering the RFP suggests its US government use, I don't think your tongue in cheek comment is relevant. Besides you already are implying the NSA is doing as you say ... so yeah!

  14. Re:Meaningless on Earth Day: 175 Nations Sign Historic Paris Climate Deal (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    If Americans stopped voting for morons from [insert geolocation], that yield to [insert big interest group], and represent [insert koolaid party], things might actually get done in the actual interest of the people. Until then, the divide and conquer is working out quite nicely.

  15. Re:Sleeping with the enemy on Phone-Friendly Movie Theaters For Millennials Could Be Reality Soon (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure they have been castrated already so he wouldn't do the right thing and just go get sexytime somewhere else.

  16. Not sure about your office but ... on Dyson Airblades 'Spread Germs 1,300 Times More Than Paper Towels' (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    My anecdotal evidence has shown that men don't wash their hands often after doing their thing. That said, perhaps Dyson's numbers are much better than NOT washing your hands and using either paper or air.

  17. This guy is clearly in a basement (errr ahh bunker?) he doesn't want to talk to anyone anyhow.

  18. Re:Third Leg on Wearable Third Arm Gives Drummers Extra Robotic Rhythm (gizmag.com) · · Score: 1

    My third leg always hammers those butt bongos

    BS they clicked agree to a FREE service / website. Don't like it use the old archaic methods of email, phone, and (shocker) .... talking face to face!!!!

  21. AMA Insurance + FAA Registration on California Legislation Would Require License Plates, Insurance For Drones (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Will the insurance already provided to AMA members and FAA registration be sufficient or are they trying to grab more $$$?

    Do you even webscale bro?

  23. Re:Grammar please on Drone Crashes, Missing Champion Skier By Inches (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    To me it looks let it feel straight out of the sky with the help of good ol' gravity. So "Out of control", while still true, it's probably more likely that the thing ran out of batteries or the pilot forgot to set his fail safe properly. Also there were other headlines that said it nearly killed him.

  24. Re:Why is prostitution illegal in the first place? on Los Angeles Flirts With Pre-Crime (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    He/She is providing a service which is in many cases not taxable. This is the biggest reason why government does not approve of this. That said, prostitution is like the Uber of the past without the geolocational appity apps. Anyone can work that has a body and is willing to compromise on a price for said services. The real problems come with all the other crime and societal fallout involved in such activities.

  25. Hack Friday ... amirite?
