  5. well? on Google Launches a Data Prediction API · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Does it use users Wifi sniffer captures to aid in this prediction?

  6. It is surprising to me on House Passes Massive Medical Insurance Bill, 219-212 · · Score: 2, Informative

    That intelligent people such as slashdotters have no knowledge of the United States Constitution. Nowhere in the constitution does it guarantee the citizens healthcare.

  7. hmm on Pennsylvania CISO Fired Over Talk At RSA Conference · · Score: 1

    Are they hiring now?

  8. Drive by wire on Toyota's Engineering Process and the General Public · · Score: 1

    In my opinion the drive by wire systems in modern cars are not trustworthy enough to own. It amazes me that people who are advocates of Open Source systems to read their email trust their families lives to a proprietary computer every time they drive that shiny new prius.

  9. Re:Establishment clause smackdown on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    So when the POTUS tracks cellphone users via GPS in their phones with no warrant you think he should also be prosecuted for Treason

  10. Politics and science do not mix on Bark Beetles Hate Rush Limbaugh and Heavy Metal · · Score: 1

    Obviously the "Scientists" wanted to get into the news with their little science lab project which had not much science involved with it.

    Now these are the clowns getting money for research rather than manned spaceflight and the ignorant left are following right along because it is the era of Jon Stewart political thought. Make people laugh, ridicule the other side and they wont notice that our liberties are more in danger from the left than when the right was in charge. At least when the republicans were running things we had a news media that would take them to task for the decisions they made.

    Instead of asking the present administration why they advocate warrantless location finding with gps enabled phones the cronies in the press are asking the administration what they think about some ignorant woman writing notes on her palm or why the president took 3 months longer deliberating on what kind of dog than his decision to provide more corporate welfare than any president before him.

    Slashdotters should think more critically than this

  14. Re:National Aeronautics and Space Administration on Obama Choosing NOT To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1, Troll

    Because the Director of the Goddard SPACE flight center is the lightning rod character that in the 70's cried foul about the ozone layer depletion that was going to freeze the earth, then he reversed himself with no supporting data to cry foul about global warming in the late 90's and AlGore then saw his opportunity.

    Now the Earth Observation Systems at Goddard get funded for whatever they want and they want to study earth more for the lemmings that follow along.

    I am waiting on Kanye to have a telethon telling us that Obama hates haitians and that is why he allowed the quake to hit there

    I think that the mainstream press uses the term "whistle Blower" a little too liberally.

  21. On submissions on On the Matter of Slashdot Story Selection · · Score: 1

    I submitted one story back when slashdot was first getting circulated, the story was turned down but then one of the regulars submitted it the next day, no harm no foul as my original intent was simply to get the story out.

    Just please remember there were already airport security standards in place to secure baggage and personell screening within 18 years. I believe we can go forward with the standards creating process
    however I believe the President wants to secure the current infrastructure that is in place. Over the last 10 years or so the Federal government started relying on the commodity internet for certain functions. This all happened at the same time they started ripping out real servers in lieu
    of the current Microsoft corporation installation .

  25. on a related note on Jupiter As From Cassini · · Score: 4

    Datalink Flaw in Titan Probe: European Space Agency engineers have discovered that there is not enough bandwidth in the link between its Huygens probe and NASA's Cassini spacecraft to handle the Doppler shift between the two as the ESA probe parachutes toward the surface of Titan, triggering an inquiry into why the shortfall wasn't discovered before NASA launched Cassini and Huygens to Saturn and how to get around it now. As it stands, ESA said, the "probe data relay subsystem" (PDRS) won't be able to recover all the data generated by Huygens' six instruments as it descends into the moon's dense atmosphere of nitrogen and methane and settles on the surface. NASA launched Cassini and Huygens together on Oct. 15, 1997. The flaw lies in the European receiver aboard Cassini that will receive data from Huygens. ESA said an end-to-end in-flight test series in February suggested there was a problem, and extensive ground testing early last month at ESA's Operations Center (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, confirmed "that the existing link would not support full data recovery under the currently planned mission scenario."
