  1. Re:Guitar playing on Astronaut Chris Hadfield Performs Space Oddity On the ISS · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Here's the video of him talking about playing the guitar in space.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLRunqi1mDM

    Advantage is that you don't need a guitar strap, disadvantage is that you float around if you'd not holding something with your feet. Also tend to mis-fret when first in space.

    You can see the velcro on it in the Bowie song, but i think that is more for stowage than use.

  2. Re:Do Americans really take drugs for depression? on Tylenol May Ease Pain of Existential Distress, Social Rejection · · Score: 1

    Thought so. Most "I'm from Europe" comments are mostly trolls too fearful to acknowledge what shitty country they live in.

  3. Re:Do Americans really take drugs for depression? on Tylenol May Ease Pain of Existential Distress, Social Rejection · · Score: 1

    What country are you from?

  4. Re:Why is this here? on Why We'll Never Meet Aliens · · Score: 1

    Did you RTFA?

    I see you purchased a low-ish UID from B'Trey. Or assassinated him and cracked his 1024-bit encrypted passwords.txt file with your quantum computer.

    I understand you can hack the moderation system using a HOSTS file.

  5. $10,000 CHALLENGE? on Former Diplomat Slams Facebook For Inaction On Fake Pages · · Score: 2

    Don't encourage him! We've already got APK/Jeremiah Cornelius complaining about impersonation every post.

    Next thing Brendan Nelson's going to be coming here, spamming "A corrupt facebook luser has infiltrated the liking system to downlike all my posts."

  6. Re:Enhance it and zoom in on Boston Police Chief: Facial Recognition Tech Didn't Help Find Bombing Suspects · · Score: 1

    Although there was a significant false positive.

  7. Re:No, actually. A witness identified him. on Boston Police Chief: Facial Recognition Tech Didn't Help Find Bombing Suspects · · Score: 1

    Apparently you're not very up with the play.

  8. Re:welcome on British Woman's Twitter Comments Spark Expensive Libel Claims · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    How is this capitalism?

    This is allowing lawyers, judges and laws to be in control. It's lefty shit.

  9. Re:Protect your data with custom HOST file... apk on Siri Keeps Your Data For Two Years · · Score: 1

    Is it really Alexander Peter Kowalski? Or just an imposter?

  10. Re:Most likely this will be Far right wingers. on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 1

    Hardly - they're left-wing. They believe in tight government control of our lives and reduction in personal freedom for the greater good.

  11. Re:agency: unknown agents and Amazon and books on Samsung Accused of Paying For Negative HTC Reviews · · Score: 1

    The kicker is the book was a scholarly look at the peaceful proliferation of Buddhism in the world..........

    You expected a positive response to criticism from a writer of religious bullshit?

  12. So using Moore's law... on Moore's Law and the Origin of Life · · Score: 2

    4000 transistors per IC in 1975, 2000 in 1973...

    The integrated circuit was invented in 1951.

    I'm sure this is scientifically sound.

  13. Re:Get over it on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Preserve a "Digital Inheritance"? · · Score: 1

    During a power outage you'll use physical media to watch a movie? Isn't that going to drain your MacBook battery pretty quickly?

    And he said "buy" not "download".

  14. Re:Solution: stop buying, start pirating. on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Preserve a "Digital Inheritance"? · · Score: 1

    Exactly.

    Do any geeks actually use iTunes?? If so, they're not a true geek.

    If you really want your kids to have your mp3 collection, leave them in an unencrypted folder on your hard-drive. Or they can just download the songs/full albums themselves.

  15. Re:Small effect big consequences on Memory Effect Discovered In Lithium-Ion Batteries · · Score: 0

    You could consider not paying the "Mac tax" for inferior hardware and poor support.

  16. Re:Why is this on a tech news site? on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 1

    More's the point. How come this article isn't being reported one week after the event? Then followed up soon by a dup?

  17. Re:Most likely this will be Far right wingers. on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 1

    Far-right-wing Muslims?

  18. Re:the world is so full of jerks... on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You're a fucking cunt. These were innocent people, running in a race.

  19. Re:No matter how it happened, it happened fast... on Scientists Are Cracking the Primordial Soup Mystery · · Score: 1

    No, but one way is probably better than others.

    So other self-replicating chemicals were probably out reproduced by (e.g. RNA based chemicals). Once cells became a thing, they would have outcompeted all the free living self-reproducing chemicals.

    To masturbate. And have sex with Jesus's mother.

  21. Re:Dear God on Scientists Are Cracking the Primordial Soup Mystery · · Score: 1

    Especially in the NYT.

    That rag is a load of bullshit. That article on the Tesla car, basically faking results, then the public editor just ignoring all the lies that the writer put in his article. I'm amazed that people use it as an example of quality journalism!

  22. Re:Simple on EA Repeats As 'Worst Company In America' · · Score: 1

    Mod me down. (As long as you give me money!)

  23. Re:Godwin on Kepler Watches White Dwarf Warp Spacetime · · Score: 1

    You sound like a typical creationist. Stop commenting, you're worse than Hitler.

  24. Re:This is horrid on Automated System Developed To Grade Student Essays · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Repetition is how we learn. We learn by repeating things more often. We tend to remember things that repeated better, and repeating an action tends to get it into our brain's more permanent memory.

  25. Re:security through obscurity on Ask Slashdot: Encrypted Digital Camera/Recording Devices? · · Score: 2

    How do you avoid mud and bugs obscuring the lens?

    Maybe that is exactly what he is trying to record.

    +5 Profound.
