  1. Re:Today Marks 50th Anniversary of Fatal Apollo 1 on Today Marks 50th Anniversary of Fatal Apollo 1 Disaster (nasaspaceflight.com) · · Score: 1

    Citation please? I'm unaware of another explanation.

  2. Old, but great read on Slashdot Asks: What Are Your Favorite Technology Books and Novels? · · Score: 1

    The Adolescence of P1.

  3. Re:He really hates Google on The New Censorship: 'How Did Google Become The Internet's Censor and Master Manipulator?' (usnews.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Be that as it may... How did it happen? We let them.

  4. Re:"How to make america great again" on 'RipSec' Goes To Hollywood: How the iCloud Celeb Hack Happened · · Score: 1

    Just curious... How do you know so much about the Donald? Sure he's a blow hard, but either you're illiterate (US spells civilization with a z) or you are British? Neither, it seems to me, qualify you to offer even a passing comment.

  5. Re:Burping *is* for cows! on Want To Fight Climate Change? Stop Cows From Burping · · Score: 1

    Sure. That smell is from them burping.

  6. Re:No! on Ask Slashdot: Do You Use a Smartphone At Work, Contrary to Policy? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why is this not modded funny?

  7. Re:No! on Ask Slashdot: Do You Use a Smartphone At Work, Contrary to Policy? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    And that you have to check them at the door... It's not voluntary compliance.
    Out of curiosity, what secure locations can you use your smartphone?

  8. Re: FTFY on DOJ Vs. Google: How Google Fights On Behalf of Its Users · · Score: 2

    Absolutely! They won't share it with anyone! ... Unless of course they're paid for it. And most people seem to be OK with that.

  9. Re:But I love it when slides are read to me on Why PowerPoint Should Be Banned · · Score: 0

    Oops... Ditto, I posted the same thing above. Moderate this UP.

  10. Re:To be more specific ... on Why PowerPoint Should Be Banned · · Score: 1

    Sure. Because all meetings have no use.

    The REAL problem with power point is the insipid use of it to write minutia that is then read aloud by the presenter - as though the audience can't read. When in fact it's usually so boring that the audience wouldn't want to read it.

  11. Why you should care on Windows 10 the Last Version of Windows? Not So Fast. · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's not about how it's labeled, it's about the level of difficulty getting from one to the next.

  12. This just in on Developers and the Fear of Apple · · Score: 0

    | stonewalling from Apple after negative reporting, but also a brigade of Apple fans and even other journalists trying to paint them as anti-Apple. Negative reporting on Apple is painted as anti-Apple. Film at 11.

  13. Re:Why are we treating this like Fukushima?" on Nuclear Waste Accident Costs Los Alamos Contractor $57 Million · · Score: 2

    Yes, under reported. Particularly the piece that the contractor (on their own) decided to change packing process/material which led to the cask overheating and causing the incident. Rank amateur, plain and simple.

  14. Re:Oh my god, you're actually serious??? on Ask Slashdot: IT Career Path After 35? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, you're right. For example, 20 years ago there weren't little shits going around calling people fucktard in public forum back then. If you're having trouble in the market place, perhaps you should try a little introspection.

  15. Re:Guffaw! So much overhaul it's FOUR better! on Windows Kernel Version Bumped To 10.0 · · Score: 1

    Yes, eleven is better, see? (raises dial to 11)

  16. Re:OMFG, stupid on Microsoft Announces Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    It needs to go to Eleven [moves dial up to 11].

  17. Re:Repair on Inside Shenzen's Grey-Market iPhone Mall · · Score: 1

    Especially since its been replaced by a culture of despair.

  18. Re:New category of Who Cares? on Julian Assange Plans Modeling Debut At London Fashion Show · · Score: 5, Funny

    Good grief.

    No, not really. This is to quash any idea that he's an attention whore.

  19. Re:Politics of Yucca on US Nuclear Plants Expanding Long-Term Waste Storage Facilities · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Well sure. It was an incredible find for the opponents, and an incredibly sloppy move on behalf of USGS. But the science was redone by Sandia Laboratories and it, not the prior science, was submitted to the NRC during the licensing process.

    The POLITICS of Yucca was that Harry Reid did not want it, Obama had a Nobel prize winner (Chu) illegally cancel the project by pulling the license. The two had the NRC deliberately disobey a law, passed by Congress and signed by the prior President. A Federal court has so ruled that to be the case - http://www.world-nuclear-news.....

    But again, the POLITICS of Yucca, left a site and Congressional mandate unable to move because there is no funding.

  20. Good! on B-52 Gets First Full IT Upgrade Since 1961 · · Score: 1

    Good... Now if we could just get the FAA stuff off of 360's, we're in business!

  21. Re:So.. on Russia Wants To Establish a Permanent Moon Base · · Score: 4, Interesting

    No. Putin views things in black and white. Just like his pre-perestroika predecessors. He views this exactly as they viewed the race to the moon in the 60's. It doesn't have to be a zero-sum game, but as any Russian will tell you - once KGB, always KGB

  22. Because on NASA Puts Its New Spacesuit Design To a Public Vote · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Good engineering is done by committee

  23. Sooooo..... on Flash Is Dead; Long Live OpenFL! · · Score: 1

    Is that a good thing?

  24. Re:New Mac Pro sans Windows 7 on A Call For Rollbacks To Previous Versions of Software · · Score: 1

    It's nice that this is about Apple... But the first thing that popped into my mind was XP -> Vista.

  25. Re:If you like it on Translating President Obama's NSA Reform Promises Into Plain English · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What is important here is the appearance of doing something... At least as far as ANY politician is concerned. The suckers buy into it.
