  1. Re:Yes, yes, give it a year or two... on Fast-Food CEO Invests In Machines Because Regulation Makes Them Cheaper Than Employees (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    I remember reading about new coating or material for knifes used in machines which can now dispense cucumbers, so this is a solved problem, but I can't find that article. Other problems with dispensing will be solved too.

  2. Re:Or, it might simply be... on Consciousness May Be the Product of Carefully Balanced Chaos (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Scattering data on a hard drive is normal. Have you heard about defragmenting? Downloading is just a matter of mapping out those data. Like in data-recovery. It's doable even if you lose your filesystem table.

  3. Re:Anyway on Meet the Drone Registration Task Force (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 2

    Then you can just shoot or intercept any unregistered drone. Time to get my drone hunting license...

  4. Re:Thaty's the wat to do it ... on Scientists Discover How To Get Kids To Eat Their Vegetables · · Score: 1

    My parents have a dog, which LOVES cucumbers. It even looks like he likes them more than meat. When planted cucmbers are ripe, this dog looks under leaves and eats one every time he is near garden.

  5. Re:Not quite the same thing on How the FBI Hacks Around Encryption · · Score: 5, Insightful

    For NSA, if you use encryption, you ARE a suspect.

  6. Re:I wonder on A Robo-Car Just Drove Across the Country · · Score: 1

    This whole "who prevents cargo from being stolen" argument is moot in my opinion. If a someone wants to steal cargo, they can threaten driver with a gun. Maybe he will be able to draw a gun soon enough, maybe not. If cargo is expensive enough, he may even be killed. Also only in US drivers can have a gun. In europe there is also many trucks. What happens when driver hears something strange at night? He just pretend he's still asleep so that thieves don't threaten him. Cargo is insured and his employer will prefer to have alive driver.

  7. Re:Pretty Cool on DHL Goes Live With 'Parcelcopter' Drone Delivery Service · · Score: 4, Informative

    Smugglers are probably wringing their hands in anticipation, but hell, every advancement seems to have some tangential consequence.

    Already done. http://arstechnica.com/tech-po... http://www.usatoday.com/story/...

  8. Re:Kami-sama Robots on Humans Are Taking Jobs From Robots In Japan · · Score: 1

    Too late. We already did it voluntary.

    Even better: Return from the Stars.

  10. Re:I saw a documentary about this on TV last night on Oops: Security Holes In Belkin Home Automation Gear · · Score: 0

    As an aside IMHO that article the other day asking about where is decent SciFi nowadays seemed to miss the point that for a good show character interactions and growth are what makes it good and that technology by itself is merely a prop.

    In MY humble opinion, character interactions and growth makes a good space opera (SyFy), not SciFi.

  11. Re:Obligatory on Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Often-Run Piece of Code -- Ever? · · Score: 1

    Then one day a programmer notices the dependence on the uninitialized value, which would clearly produce a severe failure if fed the correct inputs, and he thinks "surely this hasn't been running for thirty years deployed on hundreds of thousands of nodes, and never triggered a fatal anomaly" and yet there it is.

    And then it breaks simultaneously in the whole world.

  12. Re:Stay behind the line! on Anonymous Clashes With D.C. Police During Million Mask March · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So strong, that you are willing to go to jail for a few hours, at the very least.

    Nope, now you can be accused of terrorism and held for a month just as an example or slapped with a nice fine of several thousand dollars for costs of detainment.

  13. Re:Other red flags on Could Snowden Have Been Stopped In 2009? · · Score: 1

    The point is, had he grown up in any other area in the country, this guy would be stocking shelves at Wal-Mart and complaining about "the system."

    What can we say about NSA when such a guy can go in, take many secrets and publish them while successfully escaping wrath of The President?

  14. Re:OT: Question about waveforms on Collapse of Quantum Wavefunction Captured In Slow Motion · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes. You have this effect in double slit experiment, there are places where waves cancel out and you have dark place. The problem is that it's almost impossible to generate an inverse waveform from source other than the one which generated your photon. Typically it's done by splitting one waveform.

  15. Re:Ctrl-alt-del on GMail Chat/GTalk Sending Chats To Wrong Recipients · · Score: 4, Funny

    On the other hand I post very rarely and sometimes I have mod points even when I don't post. Maybe somehow slashdot also sends mod points to wrong users?

  16. Re:Like in the old days. on Boot To Zork · · Score: 1

    It helped that you had VERY limited set of possible configurations.

  17. Re:The real issue: U.S. government corruption. on The Legal Purgatory at the US Border: Detained, Searched, and Interrogated · · Score: 1

    I'm not an american, fifth amendment doesn't apply to me. Also terrorism trumps all amendments. Maybe it's the law, but what use has your lawyer when you can't see him when you're in gitmo and nobody want's to even admit that you are held there?

  18. Re:The real issue: U.S. government corruption. on The Legal Purgatory at the US Border: Detained, Searched, and Interrogated · · Score: 2

    what would you even charge them with?

    Terrorism and obstruction of justice.

    Yeah, then service provider gets secret order that it has to provide data about user AND continue sending those emails. What, can't they ask that? Who will prevent them when you can't even talk to your lawyer about this....

  20. Re:Life without coffee? on Excess Coffee May Be Linked To Early Death · · Score: 1

    I don't believe in life before coffee.

    There is no reason to send your email credentials to RIM

    Push notifications about new email?

  22. Re:Washington Post on Beware the Internet · · Score: 2

    Agreed. Since when did some old guys ignorant opinion become news for nerds, especially when such opinions flow almost 24/7 in all major newspaper opinion sections...

    It's good to know your enemy. I WANT to know when someone wants to take my series of tubes away.

  23. Re:Donglegate? Really? on Will Donglegate Affect Your Decision To Attend PyCon? · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm so fucking glad she got fired. I hope she gets fired from life. People and their fake outrage can die in a fire, or a Walmart trampling.

    Too many people overreacted on this one. You did too. Congratulations.

  24. Re:ad networks on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 2

    And no animated ads. I use adblock, but there are several sites which make unobtrusive relevant ads. I've unblocked them, and even sometimes I find something interesting enough to buy.
