  1. More space junk... on Arduino Enables a Low-Cost Space Revolution · · Score: 1

    In the end, mother naure will get her revenge. These things won't last long in space.

  2. Re:Expect more of this. on The Black Underbelly of Windows 8.1 'Blue' · · Score: 1

    Really? MS is blatantly copying the Canonical Ubuntu Linux desktop search function that passes your search data to third parties.

    Anyhoo, blocking this crap with a firewall is trivial.

  3. Re:Stone on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Store Data In Hard Copy? · · Score: 1

    Never been to Egypt have you?

  4. Stone on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Store Data In Hard Copy? · · Score: 1

    Chisel the data in stone. Then use the stone to build your house. It is known to last for thousands of years.

  5. Encrypted Text on Punch Cards on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Store Data In Hard Copy? · · Score: 1

    There is no reason why you cannot print encrypted text, but OCR of fonts is more difficult and error prone than bar codes. How about totally geeking out with paper tape or punch cards?

  6. Re:easy, on Ask Slashdot: Will the NSA Controversy Drive People To Use Privacy Software? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I got news for you. The NSA is storing EVERYTING - metadata, data, voice, fax, encrypted comms, everything.

  7. Hmm, that should have been Whooooo'sh...

  8. Re:300 Hz on Modeling How Programmers Read Code · · Score: 1

    A human being's reaction time is in the order of 100ms, so sampling at 300 Hz is ridiculous whichever way he does it.

  9. 300 Hz on Modeling How Programmers Read Code · · Score: 1

    It seems line Hansen is still a novice too - sampling 30fps video at 300 Hz...

  10. Re:Oh whatever on MasterCard and Visa Start Banning VPN Providers · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It also doesn't avoid watching the bladdy advertisements either.

  11. Re:Well no shit. on Breaking Up With MakerBot · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sintered metal 'printers' can make jet engine parts.

  12. Re:I tested Windows 8.1 on Microsoft Reacts To Feedback But Did They Get Windows 8.1 Right? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hey, don't use my name in vain. Especially when combined in the same sentence with Microsoft, it really hurts.

  13. Re:Try and NOT buy Win8 on Windows 8 Passes Vista, Hits 5.1% Market Share · · Score: 1

    I bought two laptops recently. One for me and one for my niece - both Apple. I just cannot bring myself to buy a Windows machine and torture someone with it.

  14. Re:Did they put the 'Start' button back in? on Linux 3.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    "wondering if anything has been put in there to facilitate government spying" - Didn't you read the article about Atlassian?

  15. Re:Huh? on Backdoor Discovered In Atlassian Crowd · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, they just made sure that *anyone* can sign on. It is a very convenient feature.

  16. Re:Huh? on Backdoor Discovered In Atlassian Crowd · · Score: 1

    Aww, you are so nice, when you come this way, please do drop in for a camel roast.

  17. Re:The US is nobody's friend on Snowden: NSA Spying On EU Diplomats and Administrators · · Score: 1

    Just put a period between, 'you' and 'expect', then hit the Del key...

  18. Re:The US is nobody's friend on Snowden: NSA Spying On EU Diplomats and Administrators · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the USSR (and Russia) was a fascist state until the WW2, while the USA is becoming a fascist state.

  19. Re:For the sake of saving time, on Snowden: NSA Spying On EU Diplomats and Administrators · · Score: 1

    You got it wrong - pretty girls dressed in their summer clothes are flora, not fauna.

  20. Re:For the sake of saving time, on Snowden: NSA Spying On EU Diplomats and Administrators · · Score: 1

    Well, obviously only people living in the central heartland are true American citizens.

  21. Re:Well that validates the 'weasel word' disclaime on WA Post Publishes 4 More Slides On Data Collection From Google, Et Al · · Score: 1

    Google is correct. They do not pass data to the NSA, the FBI does it for them. Everybody in the spy industry is just playing silly buggers and thinks that all citizens are morons.

  22. Re:As a concerned Canadian on WA Post Publishes 4 More Slides On Data Collection From Google, Et Al · · Score: 2

    OK and how can I block Ghostery's snooping?

  23. Re:40 years on Google Maps Updated With Skyfall Island Japan Terrain · · Score: 1

    Dams for example. There is no way that the 3 Gorges dam is going to disappear in a few thousand years...

  24. Re:Different header on page 1, or no go! on Google Adds Microsoft Word, Excel Editing To Latest Chrome OS Build · · Score: 1

    Save it as two documents.

  25. Re:Google going for the jugular! on Google Adds Microsoft Word, Excel Editing To Latest Chrome OS Build · · Score: 2

    However, MS can and do, willy nilly ignore any part of the spec they want to.
