  1. Re:Stock Traders on First Object Teleported From Earth To Orbit (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Are you assuming an isotropic inertial frame of reference? If you could use Bell's theorem to communicate, you could use 2 different inertial frames of reference to receive data before you sent it.

  2. Re:No Agenda on Slashdot Asks: Your Favorite Podcasts? And Why? · · Score: 1

    I hear No Agenda is the best podcast in the universe.

  3. Re:Did he fly to NY on a private jet? on Bill Gates Warns Against Denying Climate Change (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Not to mention that he and his buddy, Buffet, both own sizeable portions of railroad companies that profit handsomely from moving Canadian oil sands bitumen.

  4. Re:Contra-Indicated. on Fossil Fuel Divestment Has Doubled In the Last 15 Months (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You bankrupt a company by not buying its products. I don't see that happening any time soon in spite of all the wishful thinking.

  5. Re:Contra-Indicated. on Fossil Fuel Divestment Has Doubled In the Last 15 Months (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm all for divestiture. It makes my dividends much larger.

  6. If they had published a study showing that Facebook causes insomnia they would risk getting sued.

  7. Re: FM radio's last gasp? on Campaign Demands Telecoms Unlock the FM Radio Found in Many Smartphones (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 2

    David Brooks is the New York Times' impression of a nominally conservative editorialist. They only have him on so the listeners can hear him foam at the mouth about how much he hates Trump. I have yet to hear him assert any opinions that are conservative. At best he is a centrist elitist. NPR does balanced much like Fox News does balanced: the counter argument is always weak.

  8. Hey, Look! on MongoDB Config Error Exposed 93M Mexican Voter Records (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Florida's voter rolls were uhhhh Hacked! http://flvoters.com/by_name/in...

  9. With so many typos, I wonder if Slashdot has been hacked.

  10. Re:More accurate statement.... on Consensus On Consensus: Climate Experts Agree On Human-Caused Global Warming (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    99% of all global warming experts agree that global warming exists. How many UFO experts agree that UFOs exist?

  11. Prestigious investment banks don't get fined $5 billion for ripping off their customers.

  12. Engrish on Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot? · · Score: 1

    Stop hiring ESL posters. Their writing style is difficult to understand.

  13. Television is a medium, so called because it is neither rare nor well-done. -Ernie Kovacs

  14. "They were flying to Los Angeles on a trip to visit Disneyworld." That sounds suspicious right there. Disney World is in Orlando.

  15. More climate change BS on Arkansas Has a Growing Population of "Climate Change Refugees" · · Score: 0

    What makes AGW, AKA Climate Change less believable is all the BS non-causal effects attributed to it by politicians and the media. Refugees can blame the weather all they want, but money and lifestyle are their true motivations.

  16. Re:Refugees? Not so much. on Arkansas Has a Growing Population of "Climate Change Refugees" · · Score: 1

    That's funny. I'd put in $5 to your kickstarter.

  17. Re:Experimental engines on NASA Contracting Development of New Ion/Nuclear Engines (nasaspaceflight.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, man. Don't forget General Motors. They don't want EM to see the light of day either.

  18. The heat won't matter because the whole place will be under water from the melting glaciers of Greenland.

  19. oh yeah? on Windows 10 Home Updates To Be Automatic and Mandatory · · Score: 0

  20. holy holy holy on A Technical Look Inside TempleOS · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will this operating system be completely free of daemons?

  21. Why? on Why More 'Star Wars' Actors Don't Become Stars · · Score: 1

    Why, because Lucas stinks as a director. The acting on episodes 1-3 and 6 is HORRIBLE. They all sound like they are reading cue cards. It's downright unwatchable for any objective, non-fanboi viewer.

  22. Re: No time zones, no DST, centons on Daylight Saving Time Change On Sunday For N. America · · Score: 1

    Smart country folks live East of their work location.

  23. Re:Information Wants to Be Free on Inside the North Korean Data Smuggling Movement · · Score: 1

    Does Russia pay people to troll online forums to push party propaganda on unwitting users? That would be despicable.

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

    What climate mess? Trying to blot out the sun would definitely cause a climate mess to fix a climate mess that is still largely theoretical.

  25. Don't hold your breath on Senate May Vote On NSA Reform As Soon As Next Week · · Score: 1

    None of these folks are worried about re-election right now, so they will likely be voting purely on self-interest rather than the interests of their constituency.
