  1. Re:Arizona, ... on Virtual Telescope Readied To Image Black Hole's 'Ring of Fire' · · Score: 1

    Not sure about the rest of the places, but it's easier to find good mexican food in New York than in any city of Spain.

  2. Re:How big a fuss is it, really? on How Apple Watch Is Really a Regression In Watchmaking · · Score: 2
    I have a mechanical, automatic, waterproof watch.

    Other than adjust the time once a week, I don't have to take it off. I like my wearables to be old school.

  3. Re:Well on UK Police Won't Comment On The Tracking of People's Phone Calls · · Score: 2

    They dont need any esoteric piece of technology. Just a call to the carrier, and there you are: all your sms and conversations. And thats for an anonymous citizen. If they have you in a list, you provably have a man in the middle for all your internet traffic.

    Probably the same if the biologics are disrupted by alcohol or drugs.

    It's not a mismatch: It was impersonating other headline.

  6. Re:Wow, this generation sucks. on America's Secret Underground Ice Fortresses · · Score: 3

    It also says that after getting it running, the necessity of better shielding was discovered. Oh, and do not forget that the reactor discharged its radioactive liquid waste (47,078 gallons in total for 33 months) directly into the icecap. One has to wonder why they discontinued that type of portable reactors *rollseyes*.

  7. Re:cool on America's Secret Underground Ice Fortresses · · Score: 3, Interesting

    During the reactors operational life, a total of 47,078 gallons of radioactive liquid waste was discharged into the icecap.

    Not so cool.

  8. Poor. on Humble Bundle For Android 2 Goes Live · · Score: 1, Interesting

    A little weak for my taste. I've bought the first android bundle, but for this one I'll wait to see the later bonus.

    I simply don't understand why it's slashdotted if nobody RTFA.

  10. Not west, EAST! on A Quarter of the EU Has Never Used the Web · · Score: 3, Informative

    As a Spaniard (South and West of EU) I have to say the summary is wrong. The fine article says the South and EAST!
    Anyway, Spain is a country with large rural areas, but the broadband is nearly ubiquitous.

    Can you categorically say there's no horsecock porn in your computer after sending it to repair to the geek squad?

  12. Re:Android on Carrier IQ Software May Be in iOS, Too · · Score: 1

    Not only "pure" Android. I have a LG Optimus 3D (the equivalent of the Thrill 4G) and it doesn't have any traces of Carrier IQ. As far as I know, it's only confirmed in HTC and Samsung devices.

    Yeah, in Spain all the new meters have PLC implemented.

  15. Re:Computers are too reliable on Why Do Companies Backup So Infrequently? · · Score: 1
    Because for them, as any other industry with a few decades of history, TI is nothing but a replacement of paper, ink and mail.

    Drawings, memos, invoices... all of these were paper 30 years ago, and they got stacked in a warehouse. A fire was a real threat, but what can you do? The original was the original, and a copy of an invoice doesn't have the same valor than the true original (you can see the culture of the original in all its glory in courts, where I've seen a judge ask for the true original email sent to prove the copy wasn't tampered).

    Nowadays people still work the same ways. Tradition has a lot of inertia, and doing backups is not part of that tradition.

    Yep, they worry about soccer.

    You're not spanish, or if you are, you're in denial. Spain had our laws and constitution stomped a week ago and nobody gave a damn. Had our worker rights ripped apart and nobody gave a damn. Our politics are a wealthy elite and the crisis don't touch them, but nobody-give-a-damn!

    BUT, if you touch a local soccer team or closes music or video downloads, hell breaks loose.

    This is Spain, and that's the reality in Spain.

  19. Re:I smiled for a moment... on Spanish Congress Rejects Internet Censorship Law · · Score: 4, Informative
    The citizen awareness was high because the sharing webpages closed showing the notice of the intent of the government of passing the law as a 'petty topic' so it could approve it without public discussion.

    That raised protest, a DDoS attack to the web pages of ALL politic groups, a flood of emails and calls to the politics, and so on. That incidents produced some notices in national media that raised more the awareness of the public opinion.

    At last, the politic groups was intimidated. The situation in Spain is critical, with a 20% of unemployment and a brutal credit crunch. So a high unpopular law as that could 'spark' some unrest.

    We're sailing fast to fiscal bankruptcy. You don't want to stay near Spain when the situation explodes.
    The future for Spain is very uncertain, but oscillates between Somalization and Police State.

    Maybe the argument is: "Someone who we were told was nuts turned out to be right. Therefore, this other person who we are told is nuts maybe also is right."
    And taking in account the people who says they are nuts is the same people who have more to lose if it's true...
