    to get Facebook so riled up.

  2. Re:Astounding! on Midwestern Fault Zones Are Still Alive · · Score: 1

    I watched Cosmos, too.

  3. Betteridge to the rescue!! on Will Electric Cars and Solar Power Make Gasoline and Utilities Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    Your answer is "no".

  4. Re:Protesting against themselves? on Protesters Show Up At the Doorstep of Google Self-driving Car Engineer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hypocrisy is often lost on the hypocrite.

  5. Re:Big deal. on Rosetta Probe Awakens, Prepares To Chase Comet · · Score: 1

    But Rosetta did it without coffee ;-)

  6. I find the term 'denier' to be demeaning on Global-Warming Skepticism Hits 6-Year High · · Score: 2

    How about "well informed" or "critical thinker"?

  7. Unintended consequences on Obama Announces Surveillance Reforms · · Score: 1

    Apparently Obama's handlers discovered that the world doesn't appreciate being spied on, and the world has started to decrease the amount of business they do with American companies. This hits the real power people in the wallet, and we can't have that! Quick, have Obama issue a statement. Yep, that ought to fool the 99% for another couple of years.

  8. Re:I got the notice... on Target Credit Card Data Was Sent To a Server In Russia · · Score: 1

    I received an email last Dec about the breach and another one yesterday offering the free credit monitoring. So I called Target and asked when my new card with new numbers was coming. Turns out -- it wasn't. Customers have to specifically call and ask for new cards to be sent. WTF?!?! A simple solution to nip this in the bud -- issue new cards with new numbers -- and they aren't doing it? I guess they would rather eat the bogus charges. If I had any Target stock, I would dump it ASAP.

  9. Re:It's only fair on The Other Exam Room: When Doctors 'Google' Their Patients · · Score: 1

    Or go here: www.healthgrades.com

  10. Oily rags on Tesla Says Garage Fire Not Charger's Fault; Firemen Less Sure · · Score: 1

    My educated guess is oily or gas soaked rags that were not disposed of or stored properly.

  11. Thanks, now I'm feeling old today on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 1

    Although I thought Doom was cool and all at the time, it wasn't until Half-Life that first person shooters became my game genre of choice.

  12. You need an editing plan more than a backup plan on Ask Slashdot: Practical Bitrot Detection For Backups? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    100,000s -- like 300,000? More? How many of them will you actually ever look at again? Less 1% I'm guessing. Here's my advice (and it's what I do), step 1) when transferring pics to your computer, delete the ones that are out of focus, bad lighting, framed poorly, etc. This is about 15%. Step 2) once a month, go through the photos you have taken the previous month and delete those that just don't mean as much anymore (if they have decreased in emotional value in 30 days, just think how utterly worthless they would be in 5 years?). This takes care of another 30%. Step 3) once every 3 months, I and my wife pick the cream of the crop for physical prints. This is about 10%. These are stuck into photo albums, labeled and kept in a fire proof safe in our basement. So 200 photos a month, gets reduced to ~100, and then 10 per month are printed. YMMV

  13. Step 1: use IPv6 on AllSeen Alliance Wants To Open-Source the 'Internet of Things' · · Score: 1

    Seriously, this is 2013 already, how much longer do we have to wait for our ISPs and biggest websites to make the switch?

  14. Re:"EU won't suspend data sharing accords with U.S on European Commission Outlines Steps To Restore Trust In EU-US Data Flows · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So the EU rolls overs and is a good bitch for the US again? Pathetic! I don't know what is worse, the fact the US has no morals, or the fact the EU has no balls?

  15. Re:There are limitations on Building an IT Infrastructure Today vs. 10 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    or is it tablet happy and cloud friendly?

  16. SWEET!! on Google Patents Fooling Friends With Snooping, Chatbots · · Score: 1

    So now my bot can chat with your bot, and I will never again have to interact online with people I don't want to. Sign me up!

  17. Re:What if they went plaintext only? on Chinese Gov't To Tighten Internet Controls Even Further · · Score: 2

    A lot of people are already living in this future you describe. I will try and fight going there as long as possible.

  18. Re:All I know is... on First Lab Demonstration That the Ability To Evolve Can Itself Evolve · · Score: 1

    Best post on /. in weeks!!

  19. Re:And let's not forget why: on Britain's Conservatives Scrub Speeches from the Internet · · Score: 0
