  1. Re:Catch 22: on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 1

    "You're a looser either way."

    Better to be a looser than a loser ;)

  2. To be an American... on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 1

    Considering that politicians are essentially self-serving slimebags, I would happily vote for the guy who genuinely wants to be elected to he can make things better.

    My Canadian vote wouldn't help though. Damn.

  3. Re:Yet another reason to avoid Oracle on Oracle Exec: Stop Sending Vulnerability Reports · · Score: 0

    Aside from Java?

    Java sucks in it's own right.

    Yes but Chrome still sucks.

    An explanation.

  6. Car Hacking on Tesla Model S Has Been Hacked · · Score: 1

    Car hacking is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard of!

    Seriously, why do we need computers in cars? EFI I can understand; some digital sensors, maybe, a and quartz tuned radio with digital display, sure.

    But all of this other crap is just asking for trouble. The fact that someone could remotely access, monitor, and even control your vehicle is downright scary.

  7. Re:Open source? on Mozilla Issues Fix For Firefox Zero-Day Bug · · Score: 1

    "I thought the consensus here was that open source software was secure?"

    Fundamentally it is more secure, but it depends on how secure the user makes it.

    You can buy the best locks for your house and bullet proof windows, but if you don't lock the door, leave the windows open and leave the spare key in plain view on the patio it really doesn't matter how secure the components are. If they are not installed or configured properly then security will be lax or non-existent.

    "If they were going to do it, they would have done by now"

    I disagree. The Zionists are smarter than that. They will wait until Iran has nuclear capability so they can justify a pre-emptive strike or launch a false-flag attack and gain sympathy and support from the rest of the world.

    Nuking Iran before they have any nuclear weapons would make the Zionists appear as the aggressors and instigators.

    Thank you. :)

  10. Re:Hmmm on Drone Drops Drugs Onto Ohio Prison Yard · · Score: 1

    "Coercion can be a wonderful motivator"

    Absolutely. Prisons are full of gangsters and organized crime members. It is very common for them to threaten or coerce employees to smuggle drugs inside.

  11. Re:Question for user community on LibreOffice 5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I switched from OO to Libre because OO could be painfully slow.

    "Massive pile of shit? Word 2010 usually starts in 2 seconds."

    But it is still a massive pile of shit.

  14. Re:Missing important details... on Sounds Can Knock Drones Out of the Sky · · Score: 1

    Understood.

    However, the article says:

    "Kim's team studied 15 types of gyroscopes from four vendors....Seven of the gyroscopes resonated at their own resonant frequencies..."

    With only 7 they certainly could have included a list of frequencies, or at least a range.

  15. Missing important details... on Sounds Can Knock Drones Out of the Sky · · Score: 1

    I didn't see anywhere in the article about which specific resonance frequencies were used.

    And at 140 db ... I would be more concerned about the damage to my hearing than to the drone.

  16. Re:Next moon landing? on Buzz Aldrin Publishes Moon Expenses Form · · Score: 1

    "...if they'd found oil or gem-quality diamonds or auric nuggets..."

    My point exactly.

    How do we know there is nothing there?

    A few guys allegedly went there decades ago and found nothing but rock and "reflective sand".

    Did the Apollo missions bring any mining equipment to the moon? Has the moon's composition been evaluated using modern technology?

    How do they know for sure that there are no precious minerals, resources, or new, unidentified minerals or substances there?

    And why is the number of Freemasonic astronauts so grossly disproportionate to the non "brotherhood" astronaut roster?

  17. Re:Next moon landing? on Buzz Aldrin Publishes Moon Expenses Form · · Score: 1

    I find it very odd that nobody wants to return to the moon.

    I would think that companies such as McDonalds would want the "golden arches" on the moon; or Hilton would have a prestigious moonbase hotel; a giant "iMoon Apple" stating global or universal dominance; an NSA spystation; or Russia or China might want to put their flag up there next to the US flag...

    I know most people say that it is just too expensive but I don't buy it. We waste billions of dollars on uselessness everyday on planet earth. Now people are bidding to be able to go to Mars? Mars! Seriously? What happened to interest in the Lunar celestial body?

    Poppycock, I say.

  18. Next moon landing? on Buzz Aldrin Publishes Moon Expenses Form · · Score: 0

    We supposedly made it to the moon in the 1960's. The last time we went was in 1972.

    Why haven't we (or anyone else) gone back in over 40 years?

    Jesus Christ!

  21. And put them in power too! on Robots Must Be Designed To Be Compassionate, Says SoftBank CEO · · Score: 1

    If we replace the (self-serving, sociopathic) politicians with compassionate robots, then we can truly welcome our "Robotic Overlords".

  22. More importantly.... on Cameron Tells Pornography Websites To Block Access By Children Or Face Closure · · Score: 1

    We should focus on child pornography manufactured by the ruling elite.

    Kiddy porn is the fabric of the web that binds the corrupt establishment together.

    John DeCamp's expose The Franklin Cover-Up is an incredible read on the subject.

    Also, Conspiracy of Silence is a (banned) documentary on the subject.

  25. Re:Why Fight It? on How Developers Can Fight Creeping Mediocrity · · Score: 1

    Why do humans feel it is necessary to "fight" our problems?

    We fight mediocrity, fight poverty, fight cancer, etc.

    Shouldn't we be looking for solutions to our problems, instead of fighting them?
