  1. Re:NO on Is Safe, Green Thorium Power Finally Ready For Prime Time? · · Score: 1

    Not really. NIMBY will just have IYBY appended, with the force of eminent domain.

  2. Re:Fatal flaw with biological storage on Instagram: We Won't Sell Your Photos · · Score: 1

    You should switch to wild ram RAM. They're open range.

  3. Hacker Behind Leaked Nude Celebrity Photos on Hacker Behind Leaked Nude Celebrity Photos Gets 10 Years · · Score: 1

    How did he photobomb so many nude celebrities? Who ended up leaking the photos, and who realized they all have the same person in the background (and that it was a hacker too)?

    2. We reserve the right to alter these Terms of Use at any time. If the alterations constitute a material change to the Terms of Use, we will notify you via internet mail according to the preference expressed on your account. What constitutes a "material change" will be determined at our sole discretion, in good faith and using common sense and reasonable judgement.

    And at the top of the page, is this notice: "We are updating our Terms of Use: Our updated Terms of Use will be effective on January 16, 2013," with a link to the updated terms of use, which include these new terms. They've held up their end of the terms - they notified you of a material change to the terms according to your preferences.

    Where's the email? Is it being sent out January 16 2013?

    Then ban moral and ethical corruption. Problem solved. I feel like Reed Richards now.

  6. Re:"From" is like the upper left of an envelope. on Ask Slashdot: What To Tell Non-Tech Savvy Family About Malware? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that was a popular spam method back in 2000-ish. Spam filters would give bounces a low "spamminess" value, so they'd slip into inboxes.

  7. Re:Is this News? on Cox Comm. Injects Code Into Web Traffic To Announce Email Outage · · Score: 0

    I wish I could do the same. Sadly, Cox is my only option.

    come on...are you really trying to say that you dont love cox?

    He's saying it's like he's in prison.

  8. Re:Mod parent up. on Spinal Fluid Chemical Levels Linked To Suicidal Behavior · · Score: 1

    my father kept his rifle in his high school locker and went shooting after school, as an after school activity! Now a pocket knife invokes a zero-brain policy.

    Toy guns and rubber knives apply to the zero-tolerance policies too. One kid got suspended for an Optimus Prime gun (the miniature size for the toy to hold).

  9. Re:Title is misleading on Automation Is Making Unions Irrelevant · · Score: 1

    Cuts in military spending will be shifted towards military research (fighting robots). The soldiers may have a sense of duty to The People, but the robots will do only what they're programmed to do.

  10. Re:Title is misleading on Automation Is Making Unions Irrelevant · · Score: 1

    nature will impose a new equilibrium that leaves us with a smaller population.

    It's human nature to fight over available resources, and dead people use less resources than VR-drugged catatonic people. What would you use such people for? Maybe processing power a la Hyperion or just as NPCs in the virtual playgrounds of the rich (the rich avatars get super powers).

  11. Re:Uh...it's still there, you know on The Web We Lost · · Score: 1

    I used "talk" just last year. Sometimes you need an instant response from a user and email won't cut it.

  12. Re:The sane option... on Is Technology Eroding Employment? · · Score: 1

    And therein lies the rub: if no one can convince the robot owners to give up goods (or robots) for these services, then there will be a lot of useless people sitting around taking up resources (from the POV of the overlords). The serfs were kept because they could work the fields. If robots are working the fields, the serfs are intelligent vermin.

  13. Re:Unauthorized export resale? on New Hampshire Cops Use Taser On Woman Buying Too Many iPhones · · Score: 1

    Should they have wrenched her arm out of her shoulder joint in order to get the other cuff on?

    Yes, because she's less likely to die from a out of socket shoulder than a taser. Tasers can kill.

  14. Re:Unauthorized export resale? on New Hampshire Cops Use Taser On Woman Buying Too Many iPhones · · Score: 1

    The cop had a choice of either bending her arm with brute force, or tasing her into submission.

    Bending her arm with brute force sounds like the better option unless she was using the free arm to mimic E Honda.

  15. Re:Opportunity on Revamped Google Maps Finally Available On iOS · · Score: 1

    I think the new interface for both sucks. When I pinch 'n zoom, my fingers drift slightly, so the map always turns, which wastes precious CPU cycles and sometimes confuses me. I wish there was a way to lock the "north is up" setting.

  16. Re:ontrack on Revamped Google Maps Finally Available On iOS · · Score: 1

    Apple maps has been wrong for me, and mostly because it can't find places, although sometimes because it puts things in the wrong place. Thankfully I'm not Australian, or I'd be dead in the Outback,

    So 668,872 people voted. What's the percentage of accounts created and abandoned by spam bots? If it's greater than 99%, maybe that's why less than 1% of "users" voted.

    But they can filter out the noise and see what people are interested in and how that correlates to what the populace in general shops for. Also, there's no such thing as noise to a marketing person. They'll happily measure everything if it gives their marketing an edge.

    I laughed out loud. Then I grew sorely afraid since the ticket keeps vacillating between confirmed and invalid. Plus there are some posts that seem to take it seriously.
