  1. Interesting to see what happens... on Wikileaks Publishes Hacked Sony Emails, Documents · · Score: 1

    "...the inner workings of a large, secretive multinational corporation...that behind the scenes [Sony] is an influential corporation, with ties to the White House, an ability to impact laws and policies, and connections to the US military-industrial complex".

    MJ would be proud. Not that i'm a fan per se, but he did go public and warn the world about Sony before his death.

  2. The reality... on New Chemical Tools Lead To Targeted Cancer Drugs · · Score: -1, Troll

    If it works it will be patented and shelved.

    A lifetime of treatments is far more profitable than a one time cure.

  3. Curious on Acetaminophen Reduces Both Pain and Pleasure, Study Finds · · Score: 1

    "....Tylenol... has been in use for more than 70 years...but this is the first time that this side effect has been documented."

    Now I'm very curious to know about the undocumented side effects of medications created in the last 25 years.

  4. It's all a ruse on Hillary Clinton Declares 2016 Democratic Presidential Bid · · Score: 1

    The only way that a woman would be president in the U.S.A is if she is installed by the powers that be to be the president that runs the country to the ground.

    The real power in the world are the "old boys clubs". If Billary gets 'voted in', I would be very, very worried about the future of America.

    Personally I have no problem with women or blacks or whoever getting into positions of power. I'd like to see more diversity of race and gender in those positions.

    But to the real power - the racist, sexist old boys - the only thing worse than a black president is a female president.

    This whole presidential race smells like trouble to me. America is going to hell in a handbasket.

    Oh shit.

  7. Ok, how about giving root access to all government, law enforcement, and military computers to the general public so they can perform valuable oversight duties to ensure that no corruption or criminal activity is present in our institutions?

    Spy on them as they spy on us.

  8. Re:Not Surprising on How the Pentagon Wasted $10 Billion On Military Projects · · Score: 0

    " He wasn't talking about missing money."

    Umm, yes he was. That is exactly what he was talking about. "We cannot account for $2.3 trillion dollars".

    That means it is missing. Plain and simple. Do you know where the money is? Didn't think so. Shut it, dip$hit.

    "yet ANOTHER "9/11 was an inside job" nut video on youtube."

    9/11 WAS an inside job - or haven't you figured that out yet?

  11. Not Surprising on How the Pentagon Wasted $10 Billion On Military Projects · · Score: 0

    On September 10th, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon was missing $2.3 Trillion dollars.

    On 9/11, a "plane" hit the accounting offices of the Pentagon and the missing money was never discussed again.

    Just a coincidence.

  12. It's not just Russia on How Professional Russian Trolls Operate · · Score: 2, Informative

    Look at any forum - especially news forums.

    It's usually pretty obvious to see who is paid to troll.

    Comments that are responded to by paid trolls are usually peppered with words and phrases such as "the Liberal government...", "what a conservative thing to do", "If the republicans were in power", "blame Obama", "Harpercrytes", "the far right", "leftist", etc. - which is very telling.

    The same is true of any criticism of Israel regarding the illegal and brutal occupation of Palestine. Anyone who disagrees with the occupation is attacked by trolls and labelled an "anti-semite" and a "holocaust denier". Unless, of course, if they are Jewish then they are a called "self hater".

    Sometimes it seems like the whole world has gone completely mad.

  13. Depends on the situation on No, It's Not Always Quicker To Do Things In Memory · · Score: 1

    "...alternative ways to create a 1MB string and write it to disk"

    This is not surprising if the goal is to write something to the disk.

    But what if you were to write something to the screen instead?

    Would it be any faster to create a 1MB string on the disk and then display it on the screen? Probably not.

    Not to mention that writing to the screen really is writing to memory; as opposed to a disk which is a slower, physical medium.

    So really, like anything it depends on what you are trying to do.

    It may not always be quicker to do things in memory, but it usually is.

  14. Communication methods on Hack Air-Gapped Computers Using Heat · · Score: 1

    Wow! We have hardwire, ethernet, wifi, bluetooth, infrared, optical.... now heat to transfer data.

    I guess the only thing missing is smell data transfer and smoke signals.

    Maybe a good kickstarter project...

  15. Essential Oils on Homeopathy Turns Out To Be Useless For Treating Medical Conditions · · Score: 1

    I don't know much about homeopathy, but I can attest to the effectiveness of essential oils. (a little off topic, I know)

    For example, lavender helps with skin issues such as dry skin; peppermint oil fragrance is very uplifting; peppermint oil is effective at warding off mice; cinnamon oil wards off ants; clove bud oil for toothaches, lemon oil for cleaning; to name a few.

    "...he made them the Chosen People"

    So, God, or Allah, or whoever you choose to call the creator has his(her) own special "Chosen People"?

    I was always taught that everyone is equal under God; even the sinners. Repent and ye shall be forgiven!

    The belief that God has "chosen people" suggests that God is a bigot. Ridiculous!

  23. Re:Jewish Talmud on Why Israel Could Be the Next Cybersecurity World Power · · Score: 1

    Whoa, Tonto. Hold on...

    You are suggesting that i'm "anti-semitic" because I find some quotes in an old Bible scary? Seriously? Are you for real?

    Firstly, you do not know me. And if you did, you would know that i'm a very easy going guy who is not racist, bigoted, or "anti-semitic" in any way. I get along with pretty much everyone.

    I believe that the quality of a person's character is determined by their actions - not their skin color, race, religion or sexual orientation. In fact, I have friends who are Jewish, Arab, Asian, Portugese, Black, etc... and they are all wonderful people.

    Second, "Semites" are people of middle eastern origin - which includes both Arabs and Jews.

    Third, the fact that you would crawl out of the woodwork crying "anti-semite" because I found some old bible quotes scary, suggests that you are most likely one of these Zionist nutters who gets paid to troll message boards, spew hatred and create anti-semitism where none exists.

    It would appear that simply having the words "Jewish", "Talmud", and "Supremacist" in the same post automatically constitutes "anti-semitism" in your mind.

    I strongly suggest that you watch this Jewish made documentary about anti-semitism. You could learn something from it.

    That said, I would like to think that you are man enough to realize your mistakes and short comings, and apologize for your "anti-semitic" remark.

    If you are not willing to do the right thing and apologize, then please crawl back under whatever stone you crawled out from under and take your hate-mongering xenophobic attitude with you.

    Your shenanigans are not welcome here.
