  1. Re:hypocrits on Top-Secret US Replica of Iran Nuclear Sites Key To Weapons Deal · · Score: 1

    The old ICBMs are being replaced with new nuclear missles.. an example of a report by a decend source: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09...

  2. Yep a non-profit organization, the organisation itself doesn't make any profits, but the people in the organization get a hefty salary for doing nothing... It happens with a lot of non-profit organisations, a lot of money is going into the pockets of the ones who are in charge, and instead of profit, all extra's are going into the pockets in the form of a bonus or expense account, so no profit is made by the organisation..

  3. If I have no money I can do whatever I want, and race through every city/village.. LOL....

  4. hypocrits on Top-Secret US Replica of Iran Nuclear Sites Key To Weapons Deal · · Score: 1

    Instead of telling Iran not to persue a nuclear program of any kind, they should first look at themselves. It's telling Iran not to create nuclear weapons otherwise there will be hell to pay, but they keep on making nuclear weapons themselves, so who is the agressor here.... And in history the only country ever using nuclear weapons is the US... So who are they to tell others not to pursue nuclear weapons (or energy)..
    Not that I would like to have a country like Iran to have nuclear weapons, but if Isreal has them (and they have, and are not even allowed to have them) why not Iran too.. IMHO nobody should have nuclear weapons, and a country like the US should destroy all their nuclearweapons before telling others not to create them...

  5. oh who cares... on Another Upscaled Console Game: Battlefield Hardline · · Score: 2

    I think all this resolution talk is just nonsense, if nobody told the gamers what the actual resolution was, they wouldn't care...
    Just play the freaking game, and care about the gameplay, because the graphics will look good enough (it's still a major improvement over the previous generation consoles)..

  6. but..... on Developers Race To Develop VR Headsets That Won't Make Users Nauseous · · Score: 1

    Why is it that I have no motion sickness with my old Forte VFX-1, but get it pretty fast with the DK2 (which I also own)?
    So it's definitly not tracking only that's causing the problem..

  7. Re:That's not exactly new on Musician Releases Album of Music To Code By · · Score: 1

    Yep, you're completely right, this is far from new, and most developers will say that any music (without lyrics) will do..
    for me it's happy hardcore, techno or (instrumental) movie soundtracks (like those done by Hans Zimmer)..

  8. First thing... on Why We Should Stop Hiding File-Name Extensions · · Score: 1

    It's always the first thing I do when I install a new version of windows... Why people even want to work without the extentions is a mystery to me..
    But then again, I always like to know what a file exactly is.. I also never understood why it's off by default...

  9. Re:file transfer on Ask Slashdot: Old PC File Transfer Problem · · Score: 1

    uhhh.. it's actually very hard to find a modern motherboard which still has an LPT port..
    Most printers these days don't even have an LPT port anymore, and there are excellent LPT-USB cables.. My Dell Precision here at work which is about 3 years old, doesn't have an LPT port..

  10. Re:Take your space on How Walking With Smartphones May Have Changed Pedestrian Etiquette · · Score: 1

    haha, I agree completely with you.. Why should I move because the other is in 'my lane' but isn't paying attention to where he/she is walking..
    And I agree especially with your remark on movie theatre texters...... haha...

  11. hmmm... on Apple Patent Could Have "Broad Ramifications" For VR Headsets · · Score: 1

    It was filed in 2008, but there were already others publicly using smartphones the 'google cardboard' way, so there is prior art, and therefore I already find it very weird Apple was awarded the patent.. Seems like they (again) give the patent officer one hell of a bribe....

  12. Re:This has all the makings of a reality show on Mars One: Final 100 Candidates Selected · · Score: 1

    and that's exactly how this is set up, it's earnings will come through the reality show.. And that's why IMHO it should be stopped immediatly.
    Also there is no large space-agency (or large commercial company) behind this, so it's even a project by people who have absolutely no experience in space-fare at all..
    Also I'm pretty sure, the people who applied really have no idea what they are in for, and a lot of them I'm pretty sure will have regrets after a few months and with no way to return it's just a load of bullocks..

  13. Nope. on Should We Really Try To Teach Everyone To Code? · · Score: 1

    It's not necessary for people to know how to code, we don't learn everybody how to build a car or a home, or learn how to cook or full electronics..
    If one has an interest in coding, then yes, you might learn him/her how to code..
    There are already way to much 'fun'-classes which aren't necessary.. Let the children just learn the basics well, like read/write/math, and let the rest be stuff they really want to persue, just like we did in our past..
    Why would you need to learn how to code? there are more than enough people around who actually like to code stuff, and there are more than enough applications which fulfill the needs of the people who can't code..
    And IMHO these days it really isn't real coding anymore, just putting together some objects and that's it, but most coders these days have no clue how it actually works (which IMHO, as a real developer, is much more important as it also will let you fix/create stuff if there isn't already a fully fledged framework around)..

  14. so? on Major Record Labels Keep 73% of Spotify Payouts · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's the 'artist' that signed a contract with the company, so he/she knows what he/she gets or doesn't get..
    An artist working for a record company is nothing more than a regular employee..

  15. FAA doesn't have any right themselves on FAA Could Extend Property Rights On the Moon Through Regulation · · Score: 1

    What right has FAA to say anything about the moon.. NONE... If I go to the moon and claim a piece of property, it's mine and there's nothing FAA can do about it.. But then again, getting to the moon is the culprit now...

  16. ofcourse.... on FDA Wants To Release Millions of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes In Florida · · Score: 1

    what could go wrong with doing something like that.......................

  17. yeah.... on Apple Posts $18B Quarterly Profit, the Highest By Any Company, Ever · · Score: 5, Funny

    All it means is that you pay WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much for their products.......

  18. simple.. on Police Organization Wants Cop-Spotting Dropped From Waze App · · Score: 1

    Add a function to track the google employee's and see how fast the feature will be removed.. ofcourse it's ridiculous to add police positions to such a tool.. Developers really should start thinking before adding stuff like that, you think developers would be smarter than that........

  19. Re:Insurance on Calif. DMV Back-Pedals On Commercial-Plate Mandate For Ride-Share Drivers · · Score: 1

    If you got paid to drive your daughter's friends home, then YES you should have a commercial driver's license... There is a difference ofcourse between just driving someone home (you know and maybe get a bit of gasmoney), or being a regular taxi (because that's actually what those services are)..
    Why should a regular taxidriver need a commercial drivers insurance/plate while someone who is driving for UberPop or Lyft wouldn't (even though they are exactly the same)..

  20. Just buy? on The Current State of Linux Video Editing · · Score: 1

    There are excellent video/audiosuits for linux which you can buy, so not being able to go linux only is BS..... And 3D and 2D are still best on Windows..

  21. Re:Who pays for dammage caused by fall? on Being Pestered By Drones? Buy a Drone-Hunting Drone · · Score: 1

    It's not legal to fly a drone over property without permission, it's not legal to film a property without permission. Also, it's your drone, so you are responsible to whatever happens if it crashes.. You can try to sue the person who damaged your drone while it was over his/her property, but I'm pretty sure you'll loose...

  22. Why run Linux on PC? on Why Run Linux On Macs? · · Score: 1

    It's just the closeminded thinking of an apple fanboy of thinking 'why run linux on a mac', why do people want to run linux on a PC, or a PS3 or whatever device?
    So many people so many whishes... Some people like MacOS, some people like Windows, and some people like Linux..

  23. Re:Is Uber a big government straw man? on Uber Suspends Australian Transport Inspector Accounts To Block Stings · · Score: 1

    Well, but if the terms and conditions aren't according to the law then those are not valid. Also in a number of countries investigators have priviliges so they don't have to obey some laws if that inhibits their investigation (just like a cop can run through a red light if they have their sirene on)..

  24. Not smart on Uber Suspends Australian Transport Inspector Accounts To Block Stings · · Score: 1

    That's not a smart thing to do, it will only make sure there will be even more strict regulations, and with this, they might even go for the people behind Uber themselves..
    I still can't understand why Uber(Pop) thinks they don't have to obey the law.. And let's not forget, Uber isn't in it for bettering the community, they're in it for the money...
    They claim they will reimburse drivers if they get a ticket or get their car impounded, but have they already actually payed out when this happened?

  25. uhhh.... on Several European Countries Lay Groundwork For Heavier Internet Censorhip · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not that I agree with the content on those sites, but how is preventing such sites not exactly the same (in that I mean an act against freedom of speech) as what those morons did at the satirical comic office in france... If you really want freedom of speech, you'll have to allow for those hate sites, otherwise you're no better than they are..
