  1. Re:Various physicists on The Quantum Experiment That Simulates a Time Machine · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Accounts of Dr. Gödel's contributions are often inconsistent or incomplete.

  2. Faust had it right on How Our Botched Understanding of "Science" Ruins Everything · · Score: 1

    This is why we do science: "Dass ich erkenne was die Welt Im Innersten zusammenhält" To apprehend the inner workings of the universe.

  3. Actually, this is going to get interesting on Candy Crush Maker King.com Has Trademarked 'Candy' For Games · · Score: 2

    The mark "CANDY" was published as application for registration serial number 85/842,584 on January 15, 2014. Interested parties have until February 15, 2014 to file a Notice of Opposition to registration of the mark. king.com's pushing its weight around regarding this mark during the opposition period, when they are particularly vulnerable, is just stupid, IMHO. Any party receiving a "cease and desist" from king.com can file institute an opposition proceeding before the U.S. Trademark Office during this time and get the trademark examiners to consider all the many arguments as to why king.com should not obtain registration for this mark for these goods and services.

  4. No US Trademark Registration on Candy Crush Maker King.com Has Trademarked 'Candy' For Games · · Score: 1

    I would tell them to pound sand in the US. They have no U.S. trademark registration for the word mark "CANDY".

  5. Why we work on Ask Slashdot: When Is It OK To Not Give Notice? · · Score: 1

    We work so that we may have leisure. We must have leisure to lead the good life.

  6. No big deal on DEA Program "More Troubling" Than NSA · · Score: 1

    Guys, if you're not dealing drugs, you have nothing to worry about.

  7. Re:Troubling quote from the article on DEA Program "More Troubling" Than NSA · · Score: 1

    If you are ever called for jury duty and you need to shirk your civic duty, during voire dire, let them know this is your view of prosecutors and you are almost certain to be excused from jury duty.

  8. CH3CH2(0H) on Upside-Down Sensors Caused Proton-M Rocket Crash · · Score: 0

    Vodka may have been involved.

  9. Re:Not the first major Movie. on Star Wars Episode 4 To Be Dubbed In Navajo · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected. The first major motion picture dubbed in a native North American language.

  10. Re:It's kind of a hopeless propostion on Book Review: Locked Down: Information Security For Lawyers · · Score: 1

    Tell us what you REALLY feel.

  11. Why do we work? on Robots Help Manufacturing Recover Without Adding Jobs · · Score: 1

  14. Re:Duh...OK. on Deloitte: Use a Longer Password In 2013. Seriously. · · Score: 1

    Mine is absolutely uncrackable: spock

  15. Re:Asterisk on FTC Gets 744 New Ideas On How To Hang Up On Robocallers · · Score: 1

    I solve this problem by having asterisk prescreen all incoming calls. An IVR prompt requires you to press a combination of numbers before it actually rings any phones. A white and black list for caller ID data are used to bypass or simply play line disconnected tones and hang up.

    It's the only reason I still have a POTS line. I never give out my cell.

    This seems like such a sensible solution. Is there no hardware/firmware combination for the naive user so that they can program a single POTS line to require callers to dial in programmed access digits before they are cut through to the user's home telephone system?

  16. Re:stop using the word miffed on Laser Fusion Put On a Slow Burn By US Government · · Score: 1

    "Boffin and Proud" since 1966.

  17. Re:Really? on Honeywell Vs Nest: When the Establishment Sues Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    That's the abstract. You need to look at the claims, because they define the metes and bounds of the invention. That said, this sure looks non-novel to me. Claim 1 reads on the thermostat my mom and dad had in the 60s.

  18. Re:Chance of something going wrong? on Moglen: Facebook Is a Man-In-The-Middle Attack · · Score: 1

    I call flame bait. "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear."

  19. Re:Moglen put it into the best elevator pitch on Moglen: Facebook Is a Man-In-The-Middle Attack · · Score: 1

    I rarely agree with Moglen. I think most of his views are extremist and lacking nuance. But I think he is right-on here.

  20. Re:Ironic? on What If the Apollo Program Never Happened? · · Score: 1

    You know, "to strawberry (v.t.)" may go viral as a result of your post here.

    Okay. So you sit down at the keyboard with UI for the encryption program open. repeat [type randomshit and press enter; say "oops, that must not be it"] until [judge says "forget it"]

  24. Re:heart's in the right place, but on Why We Should Teach Our Kids To Code · · Score: 1

    An elegant proof is the best revenge. Some of the nicest early work done by math prodigies was done while they were bored out of their minds in class.

  25. Re:You are *assuming* this is why he's 'censoring' on Theologian Attempts Censorship After Losing Public Debate · · Score: 1

    Good observation, recrudescence. Right or wrong, Richard Dawkins is MEAN, in the sense of being a mean-spiritied pr*ck.. Aristotle: rhetoric is ethos (character of the speaker), pathos (emotive or phatic communication), and logos. Everybody here is solid on the logos of this debate. I would like to see it myself, to evaluate the ethos and pathos involved.
