  1. You misspelled SeaMonkey.

  2. Re:Damn! on FCC Prohibits Blocking of Personal Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 2

    Jamming equipment actively interferes.

    RF shielding just blocks the signal passively.

  3. Re:Newsflash: You're in public too on Police Organization Wants Cop-Spotting Dropped From Waze App · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It should be easier for a citizen to find the police. They are public servants, and they are there to help us. Right? An app that shows where the nearest police officer is located should even be tax funded, possibly.

  4. Re:Bullshit on At Oxford, a Battery That's Lasted 175 Years -- So Far · · Score: 3, Funny

    Make a deep cut in each thumb. Touch the bleeding thumbs to the terminals of a 9 volt battery. Report the results to us. If you haven't yet fibrillated, snap two batteries together in series and touch the contacts again. Keep adding a battery and reporting back.

  5. Re:HTML = programming on Ask Slashdot: Has the Time Passed For Coding Website from Scratch? · · Score: 1

    HTML and CSS are NOT design. They are markup. One of the biggest problems with 'the web' in it's current manifestation is all the 'designers' out there trying to wring a specific presentation out of web page design.

  6. Re:But the inevitable on Time For Microsoft To Open Source Internet Explorer? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Anything that retards the move to 'web base applications' is a good thing.

    The whole Personal Computer revolution was based in the notion that everybody got their own computer, and a room full of IT drones in white codes couldn't hold their data hostage anymore.

    Basing people's access to computing power on their connection to the Internet is a bad idea. Let the Net be a domain for information exchange, not a program loader.

  7. Re:Question mark in title! on Time For Microsoft To Open Source Internet Explorer? · · Score: 2

    American voters are stupid.

    American voters might, stupidly, get to choose from another-Clinton or another-Bush in the coming presidential election.

    About the only good thing to say is they won't get to vote for Obama again.

  8. Re:Who would ride with these dongles anyway? on Insurance Company Dongles Don't Offer Much Assurance Against Hacking · · Score: 1

    In my experience, both. But I live in a pretty dirtbag part of the country. People are REALLY into their cars here.

  9. Re:Hello insurance fraud on Insurance Company Dongles Don't Offer Much Assurance Against Hacking · · Score: 3, Interesting

    whats next health insurance companies stapling pedometer's onto people get a lower rate?

    You don't think those bluetooth 'fitness monitors' that are popping up in the market won't eventually be used to 'provide insurance customers with more preferable rates' if they wear one connected to an Insurance Companies database?

    Citizen! We are all in this together. We all pay for each others' healthcare. It in in all of our interests for EVERY citizen to live an optimally healthy lifestyle.

  10. Re:Spoofing! on Insurance Company Dongles Don't Offer Much Assurance Against Hacking · · Score: 1

    My favored 'New Economic Structure' is 'Every Man For Himself' in a non-aggressive fashion. So if Person X figures out a way to fuck over the Insurance Companies in a way that doesn't hurt other people in any but a theoretical way (i.e. the old 'If Everybody Did That' bullshit) then all power to them.

  11. Re:Thank you, President Obama! on President Obama Will Kibbitz With YouTube Stars · · Score: 1

    All Presidents have always taken the time to meet with big Business Executives. Television entertainers? Not so much.

    Not sure why you separate out Haliburton. General Electric has Obama's nuts in a vice.

  12. Re:Use Pale Moon on With Community Help, Chrome Could Support Side Tabs Extension · · Score: 1

    Use SeaMonkey. It's the same Mozilla codebase, but with traditional features like built in HTML editor, email, newsreader.

  13. Re:boom & bust of the free market on Why We Have To Kiss Off Big Carbon Now · · Score: 1

    Any 'democracy' with a political class is no democracy.

    I mean, duh.

    But you go ahead and 'rule' the world to prosperity. Cuz we know you can.

  14. Re:Vendor lock in on Ars: Samsung Gear VR Is Today's Best Virtual Reality · · Score: 1

    I just bought a new 'phone' last week. Put it in Airplane Mode where it will remain locked for the foreseeable future. I wanted a monitor, not a phone. It was only $40 and a pay-as-you-go model sporting Android 4.4. It's one heck of a decent monitor for the price I paid.

  15. Re:math on Tesla To Produce 'a Few Million' Electric Cars a Year By 2025 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If these cars are so wildly popular that they're selling out and there is a long waiting list, perhaps we should end the $10,000 subsidy which was intended to encourage purchase of these vehicles.

    Seems they would sell fine without the subsidy.

  16. Re:Great, make the Internet even more infantile on Chrome For OS X Catches Up With Safari's Emoji Support · · Score: 1

    There used to be a control-character sequence you could send on multiline chat BBSes such that if you entered it, all terminals receiving it would echo it back.

    Needless to say you could enter the sequence and set off everybodys' terminals echoing it back and take down a large chatroom. The trick was doing it in such a way that nobody could tell it was you that did it. I think the sequence was [esc]-Z.

  17. Re:So... on Google Fund To Pay For 1 Million Copies of Charlie Hebdo · · Score: 1

    Never heard of it. Never heard of the website it was published on. Wouldn't have heard of it if Charlie Hebdo hadn't been attacked.

    Sorry. Try again.

    Yep. They dope kids up any time there's a possibility they might turn out to be a nerd.

    You'll have to pry my MicroVax 3100 from my cold dead hands.

    This is Slashdot, ya know. Take your politicking somewhere else

  20. Re:they can NOT hear on Michael Mann: Swiftboating Comes To Science · · Score: 1

    You mean the morons trying to tear down our whole Industrial State, correct?

    Except for Teslas, some windmills, and biomass digestors to turn the bird carcasses that collect around the windmills into methane, of course.

    That tech we can keep. So that the 1%, like algore, will have the power to operate their security fences.

  21. Re:Mann Conflict of Interest on Michael Mann: Swiftboating Comes To Science · · Score: 1

    There aren't thousands and thousands of scientists also working in 'this area.' It isn't that big a scientific discipline.

    The 'thousands and thousands of scientists' who sign the petitions and 'speak out' on the issue are no more qualified to have an opinion than any other non-specialists.

    Ooogy boogy.

    You forgot to include:

    [x] the monster under your bed at night.

    Seriously, are you going to just toss out the same stereotypical list of boogeymen? You forgot to add Daddy Warbucks. And that evil dude in the volcano-mountain-island in the James Bond movie.

    Rattle your bones, dude.

  23. Re:Stop trying to win this politically on Michael Mann: Swiftboating Comes To Science · · Score: 1

    climate change hurts big oil, even if the business impact was small can you imagine the Republicans letting a political opportunity like that go to waste?

    Yep. Politicization is definitely inevitable when people like you trash talk like that as if it is all just common sense.

  24. Re:Stop trying to win this politically on Michael Mann: Swiftboating Comes To Science · · Score: 1

    Bill Clinton engaged in systematic sexual harassment and then a coverup when it started smelling really bad.

    But yeah. Getting a blow job from an intern isn't an issue at all. Any corporate CEO can get a blow job from an intern and it's no problem. The HR staff probably screens interns specifically for that task at most major companies.

    Yeah. Right. Just a blow job.

    Not really. If I link to a white supremacist site to claim that the KKK never existed, it's worse than no citation whatsoever.
