  1. government out of touch with reality as usual on DoD Announces New Bug Bounty Program Called Hack the Pentagon (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    the Department of Defense says it's inviting vetted hackers to test the security of its web pages and networks. Vetted hackers will need to pass a background check"

    thats like cops inviting vetted thieves to try and break into a house, after passing a background check yeah.... that will work! LULZ

  3. Dumbest advice ever on Should Tesla Make Batteries Instead of Electric Cars? · · Score: 1

    Elon , let me tell you how to be successful, you see these batteries, they are like in everything, forget your hopeless idea with electric cars and spaceships and solar panels, join the crowd and make batteries! sigh what a fool

  4. apples to apples on BMW Created the Most Efficient Electric Car In the US · · Score: 1

    Lets wait until a 3rd party company measures its efficiency in similar conditions as Tesla S instead of taking the number off of a BMW dealership sticker. also the i3 comes with a internal combustion engine range extender, wonder what the efficiency drops to when that kicks in..

    Please post this to new articles if it hasn't been posted yet. (Copy-paste the html from here so links don't get mangled!)

    On February 5, 2014, Slashdot announced through a javascript popup that they are starting to "move in to" the new Slashdot Beta design. Slashdot Beta is a trend-following attempt to give Slashdot a fresh look, an approach that has led to less space for text and an abandonment of the traditional Slashdot look. Much worse than that, Slashdot Beta fundamentally breaks the classic Slashdot discussion and moderation system.

    If you haven't seen Slashdot Beta already, open this in a new tab. After seeing that, click here to return to classic Slashdot.

    We should boycott stories and only discuss the abomination that is Slashdot Beta until Dice abandons the project.
    We should boycott slashdot entirely during the week of Feb 10 to Feb 17 as part of the wider slashcott

    Moderators - only spend mod points on comments that discuss Beta
    Commentors - only discuss Beta
    http://slashdot.org/recent - Vote up the Fuck Beta stories

    Keep this up for a few days and we may finally get the PHBs attention.

  8. Re:Bee Keepers and the Audience on Do Hypersonic Missiles Make Defense Systems Obsolete? · · Score: 2

    The Bee's will join another colony or make their own and the beekeeprs can go fuck themselves

  9. Re:Just be honest - it's not for *US* on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    i would have to agree, the new redesign smells of the corporate push to increase ad revenue - hence all the white space created to be later filled with ads. I think this debate should not be about which version is better and why, but be turned into a protest against selling slashdot out, as futile as that might be..

  10. "good" Beta design on New Zealand Spy Agency Deleted Evidence About Its Illegal Spying On Kim Dotcom · · Score: 1

    The new BETA design is GREAT in the eyes of the business people behind revenue generation at slashdot, All the white space they created is just a place holder for all the advertising spam thats going to fill it gradually. I highly doubt the designers of BETA were thinking how can we make the users happy by making it more readable. Unfortunately for them and for us, increasing their revenues at the expense of user's happiness is a mistake that will only hurt them long term. Plenty of other good news sources to choose from.

  11. Re:Fix: Use iMessage. on NSA Collects 200 Million Text Messages Per Day · · Score: 2

    The Guardian and other places are releasing it slowly so they can keep their 15 minutes of fame going as long as possible.

    In reality, just use iMessage, and this isn't an issue.

    did you hear that at an Apple Store ?

  12. Re:Blowing out of proportion on Fusion "Breakthrough" At National Ignition Facility? Not So Fast · · Score: 1

    stupid question, but isn't the energy released from a fusion reaction ALWAYS larger than the energy absorbed? I thought that was in the definition somewhere

  13. It seems that on If a Network Is Broken, Break It More · · Score: 3, Funny

    my company's IT department has figured this out a long time ago

  14. Re:Rough Landing on Rough Roving: Curiosity's Wheels Show Damage · · Score: 1

    i was there and saw it happen

  15. Rough Landing on Rough Roving: Curiosity's Wheels Show Damage · · Score: 1

    false freak out alert. I fail to see similar level of damage anywhere else on the wheels so maybe its just one area on the wheel that got dented during the landing.

  16. Re:"oops" on Hackers Swipe Unreleased Game From Ubisoft · · Score: 1

  20. Re:That BS again.... on Engineers Build "Self-Healing" Chips Capable of Repairing Themselves · · Score: 1
    I would have to disagree with your definition..

    heal (hl)

    v. healed, healing, heals v.tr. 1. To restore to health or soundness; cure. 2. To set right; repair: healed the rift between us. 3. To restore (a person) to spiritual wholeness.

    there is nothing in the definition that implies the process by which it heals. I think you are missing a much more interesting implication of that article which is that an IC that can diagnose itself and then switch to an appropriate "spare" or re-route itself is pretty amazing and can lead to a whole new family of micro electronics that is extremely reliable and perhaps eventually to .. Borg. ;-)

  21. female slashdotters? on Sheryl Sandberg and Technology's Female Leaders · · Score: 2

    perhaps we could see what the females on slashdot think? *crickets*

  22. Re:That BS again.... on Engineers Build "Self-Healing" Chips Capable of Repairing Themselves · · Score: 1

    I personally don't see a problem with calling a chip "self healing" if its capable of regaining its functionality through some sort of automated process. If you guys are going to be picky, then even in nature nothing is REALLY self healing. When a cell in your body gets damaged, it is not "repaired" but is replaced by another cell that performs the same function. When you cut your skin, you replace damaged cells with new ones and form a scar.

  23. so.. on For ESA's Herschel Mission, the End Is Near · · Score: 1
