  1. Re:Uh... let me think about it on Drivers Need To Forget Their GPS · · Score: 1

    That doesn't satisfactorily explain the disconnect between 2 hours and 2 days. Alzheimer's or dementia sounds more reasonable or maybe ShanghaiBill's hook up theory.

  2. Re: Ok. on Wired To Block Ad-Blocking Users, Offer Subscription (wired.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Will WIRED at least pledge to screen the javascript for tracking and malware?
    I just checked and here is a list of all the javascript loading from their webpage: wired.com, optimizely.com, disquscdn.com, amazon-adsystem.com, ajax.googleapis.com, pinterest.com, adobedtm.com, scorecardresearch.com, mookie1.com, omtrdc.net, yldbt.com, demdex.net, dff7tx5c2qbxc.cloudfront.net, disqus.com, dy48bnzanqw0v.cloudfront.net, condenastdigital.com, facebook.com, outbrain.com, googlsyndication.com, googleadservices.com, polarmobile.com, twitter.com, mediavoice.com, doubleclick.net, zqtk.net, parsely.com, chartbeat.com, tiqcdn.com, typekit.net, googletagservices.com, moatads.com, mediaplex.com, twimg.com, adsafeprotected.com, dotomi.com, google-analytics.com

  3. Link to BlastingNews instead of the original NASA source is a fail.
    Maybe timothy has some connection to BlastingNews.

    BTW, why is everything on Slashdot now posted by timothy? (whose profile link has been blocked)

  4. Re: The Republicans are destroying our lives on All 12 Member Countries Sign Off On the TPP (freezenet.ca) · · Score: 1

    What does religion have to do with it?
    Do you mean a philosophy by which you try to live your life and help make life and death decisions with? In that case, then everything with everybody has to do with religion.

  5. His next project on Homemade Speed Trap Made By Former UVA CS Professor (cvilletomorrow.org) · · Score: 1

    The project he's working on now is a Raspberry PI that automatically shouts "Get off my lawn!" whenever it detects someone under 18 encroaching on his property.

  7. Re:Ian Murdoch was a racist on Debian Founder Ian Murdock Has Died (docker.com) · · Score: 1

    Obama identifies as black because of the way he looks. If you put his picture in a pile of 100 other pictures of random people and asked people to separate the pictures by race, Obama's picture would be put in the black pile every time.

  8. Re:Ian Murdoch was a racist on Debian Founder Ian Murdock Has Died (docker.com) · · Score: 1

    Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another.
    Your talk about "a social relationship of white supremacy" is bullshit.

  9. Re:Deniers are the only CAGW zealots on France Using Emergency Powers To Prevent Climate Change Protests (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The only place you'll hear "CAGW" or even "catastrophe" is with deniers.

    Really? Every UN climate change summit for the past 15 years has been billed as the "last chance" to save the planet.

  10. Re:Then start fighting real pollution you moron on Greenland Ice Sheet Not Covered In Soot · · Score: 1

    Once the capitalist parasite has extracted its target's wealth, it moves on...

    They went out of business. I guess they didn't extract enough wealth.

  11. Re:Famous Bill Gates Quote on NASA Study Shows Net Gains For Antarctic Ice (google.com) · · Score: 1

    The internet archive, archive.org, could not archive that page. Weird.

  12. Re:Famous Bill Gates Quote on NASA Study Shows Net Gains For Antarctic Ice (google.com) · · Score: 1

    what temperature is the Earth supposed to be?

    Well for a majority of the Cenozic era (the age of mammals) there have been no glaciers or polar ice caps.

  13. Re: GOOD GRIEF! on The Decline of 'Big Soda': Is Drinking Soda the New Smoking? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    From wikipedia
    In 2006, FIJI Water ran an advertisement stating, "The label says Fiji because it's not bottled in Cleveland". This was taken as an insult by the city's water department.[18] The Cleveland Water Department ran tests comparing a bottle of FIJI Water to Cleveland tap water and some other national bottled brands. FIJI Water reportedly contained 6.31 micrograms of arsenic per litre, whereas the tap water of Cleveland contained none.

  14. Re:Right thing on Creator of Top iOS Ad Blocker Pulls App After Two Days · · Score: 1

    It's not just the ads, it's the scripts.
    I use noscript on my desktop. It will give you the total number of javascript scripts running for a webpage. Go to any news website, for instance washingtonpost.com and you'll see they run 40 to 50 separate scripts per page. Too much for my tablet to handle.

  15. Re:Bad apples. on Creator of Top iOS Ad Blocker Pulls App After Two Days · · Score: 1

    "a few bad apples"...
    closer to 50% bad apples.

  16. Re:Intent to interfere should be infringement on Trademark Trolls Stops University Nicknames · · Score: 1

    Not quite. He's not from a rival school and he's not trolling. He's an alumnus who likes the old name and is trying to block the new names by trademarking them and denying their use to the school.
    From the fn article: "Haakenson, who attended North Dakota State University but says he's a supporter of the Fighting Sioux nickname..."

  17. Re:"found there way" on Trademark Trolls Stops University Nicknames · · Score: 1

    Also, the summary makes it sound like a bunch of people are doing this all over the place, but the story is about 1 guy and 1 school in North Dakota.

  18. Re:Exposed ice? on Close-Up Images Show Ceres' Bright Spots In Great Detail · · Score: 1

    Requisite Ice9 reference.

  19. Re:Putting lazy capitalist-first nations to shame. on Role Model Bhutan Takes Zen Approach To Climate Change · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Surely Bhuta must be like a paradise, unless you are a Lhotshampa. You want that kind of shame or the carbon kind?

  20. Re:Facepalm on Role Model Bhutan Takes Zen Approach To Climate Change · · Score: 1

    The coal and oil burned today are mostly rainforests plants and they grew like 300 million years ago (if I remember correctly).

    Incorrect. Oil comes from oceanic deposits like coral reefs. Coal comes from terrestrial deposits, like swamps which may or may not be in a rainforest.

  21. Mdisk - advertised to last 100 years on Ask Slashdot: Storing Family Videos and Pictures For Posterity? · · Score: 1

    MDisk is DVD technology that is supposed to last for 100 years. The drives cost the same as a regular DVD drive. The disks are expensive, though.

  22. Re:Right side on Ask Slashdot: Do You Press "6" Key With Right Or Left Hand? · · Score: 2

    Left hand for 5, right hand for 6, like it's supposed to be.

    Next question: To capitalize, do you use the Shift key with the hand opposite of the hand typing the capitalized letter? ie.: type "A" with right hand on shift key and "J" with left hand on shift key?
    Oh snap, I forgot that nobody cares.

  23. Re:Yes, you've increased the precision on NASA's Hurricane Model Resolution Increases Nearly 10-Fold Since Katrina · · Score: 1

    Imagine going from video game figures made of large chunky blocks to detailed human characters that visibly show beads of sweat on their forehead.

    But the game is still Pong.

  24. Hard hitting science on JAXA Prepares To Try Making Whiskey In Space · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a publicity stunt.

  25. Re:Totally orthogonal to the topic at hand... on Neil Young Says His Music Is Too Good For Streaming Services · · Score: 2

    Most people probably stream music to their phone or computer speakers, but they still enjoy their music. Go figure.
