  1. Re:where are you Anonymous? on Syrian Dissidents Hit By Another Wave of Targeted State-Sponsored Attacks · · Score: 1

    Oh yea, a bunch of foul mouth teenager with cmd.exe ping are going to save the day.

  2. Re:I wouldn't on How Would You Redesign the TLD Hierarchy? · · Score: 1

    and what happens when google decides not to index your address?

    Yes, lets make Google lord of the internet, that can only be good for us, right?

  3. Re:Slashdot hypocricy, Chapter MXMLVICIMWHATEVER on FunnyJunk Sues the Oatmeal Over TM and "Incitement To Cyber-Vandalism" · · Score: 1

    Also the Pirate Bay isn't claiming authorship over the content. Funny Junk photo shopping out credits is a clear attempt at denying attribution.

  4. Re:Troll is in the eye of the beholder on House of Commons Could Force Social Networks To Identify Trolls · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I found someone on youtube who has the right idea about cyberbullies.

  5. Re:Because they'll explode in their faces on Why Kids Should Be Building Rockets Instead of Taking Tests · · Score: 1

    I use a Mortar and pestle to grind up the engine contents, good quality gunpowder. At least better than I've managed to make myself.

    Gun powder in-place of a parachute is always a good upgrade.

  6. No, you are paid based on how many people can do your job.

    Well in the case of an office worker that would be about a billion people in India.

    Can't outsource the janitor.

  7. Re:Speaking as a Brit... on London Tube Stations Finally Get Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the London Congestion charge, ensuring that people use the overpriced underground instead of their cars.

  8. Re:Hard to feel bad for them on A Day In the Life of a "Booth Babe" · · Score: 2

    Correct, at least in this example.

    They are being payed to be 'Models' what do they expect?

  9. Re:hey! on US Labor Board: It's OK To Discuss Work and Pay with Coworkers On Social Sites · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Or the fact that the Janator has more important work to do than most office workers.

    Don't believe me? Try working in a place that hasn't been cleaned for a week, especially with an unmaintained bathroom..

  10. Re:You get what you pay for on Online Courses and the $100 Graduate Degree · · Score: 1

    $40,000 per year? WTF college is that?

    I've never had an Estes rocket blow up by accident.

    Yep, the only Estes rockets I've had explode were done by design.

  13. Re:whats wrong with the real small claims court? on A 'Small Claims Court' For the Internet · · Score: 1

    Exactly, and if a person is prepared to ignore a court ruling then you can bet they are going to ignore Judge.me as well.

  14. Re:How about... on Google Warning Gmail Users About State-Sponsored Attacks · · Score: 1

    Maybe Google should submit a patch to Thunderbird instead of working on better ways to let people know that they have been compromised (or perhaps in conjunction with that).

    And undermine their own business? I doubt it.

  15. Re:Google thinks texting is secure??? on Google Warning Gmail Users About State-Sponsored Attacks · · Score: 4, Funny

    Crap, I know practically nothing about crypto and can punch holes in Googles stuff. ;

    Thanks for the pointer. We would never have guessed.

  16. Re:The new-tab page isn't a chrome invention on Firefox 13 Released, Debuts Brand New Tab Page and Homepage · · Score: 1

    Why do Opera fanboys feel the need to convince everyone that Opera invented the web?

    My guess, desperation (to be something).

  18. Re:What about the price of piracy enforcement on Aussie Government Brings Back Piracy Talks · · Score: 1

    What really needs to happen is we, as a society, need to realize that intellectual "property" is not property at all and we should stop treating it as such. IP and property have nothing in common.

    We don't recognise it as property, and the copyright industry acknowledges this. They argue that more than half of all Australians pirate content.

    The copyright industry is the most powerful organisation on earth, they don't need to side with the majority.

  19. Re:Clueless on Rights Holders See Little Point Creating Legal Content Sources · · Score: 1

    I've been hit by the Region Coding on a few occasions. That's my punishment for buying DVDs. Never had any problem with torrents.

  20. Re:Content Paradox on Rights Holders See Little Point Creating Legal Content Sources · · Score: 1

    Well the "works of others" are being publicly distributed. It's not like accessing someone's trade secrets.

  21. Re:Email's replacement will just be more secure on What Would a Post-Email World Look Like? · · Score: 1

    Spam is a total non-issue for me, I never see it. Unless I want to switch the filter off. Spam is no longer an issue with correct spam filtering.

    how about banks in non-us countries.

  23. Re:This is a good day for the Internet... on The Netherlands Rejects ACTA, and Does One Better · · Score: 1

    Isn't this the same country that banned a political party from speaking about censorship?

  24. Re:Email vs. post-email on What Would a Post-Email World Look Like? · · Score: 1

    A corporation is by necessity a walled garden, so those sorts of internal approaches may work under those conditions, but for overall usage by individuals, I think not.

    Some corporations do wall off email so that users can only email within the corporate network.

  25. Re:It's called Facebook on What Would a Post-Email World Look Like? · · Score: 1

    10 years ago all the stupid jokes and pictures were emailed to friends. Today they are shared on Facebook

    For which I am very grateful Facebook serves as a dumping ground for all the crap I would normally have to delete.
