  1. Re:How else they gonna do it? on Nuclear Truckers Haul Warheads Across US · · Score: 1

    In the UK they just like to put on a show.

  2. Re:How's it feel on Nuclear Truckers Haul Warheads Across US · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yup, this article is just more anti-nuclear scaremongering.

    Just wait, next thing we know Greenpeace will be setting up roadblocks.

  3. Re:Apps are the past. on Google Chrome: the New Web Platform? · · Score: 1

    It works everywhere by everyone and all the time with no hassles.

    So long as you have an internet connection.

  4. Re:OpenID on Google Working On Password Generator For Chrome · · Score: 1

    It's somewhat fruitless to try and hide from Google if you're a Gmail user.

  5. Don't forget to download files from their computers. For analysis, of course?

    Have any evidence to backup your defamatory statement?

  7. Re:OTOH on Ask Slashdot: Dividing Digital Assets In Divorce? · · Score: 1

    Really, that's like getting married for the purpose of "saving" the relationship. Making it complicated won't save a doomed relationship, allot of people seem to try that route in vein.

  8. Re:Blegh on Ask Slashdot: Dividing Digital Assets In Divorce? · · Score: 1

    Also outside of christanity, the only people for marriage is government types.

    and Gays.

  9. Re:Looks Fake on UK Law Enforcement Starts Seizing Music Blogs · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Wow, from Ubuntu it now tells me Firefox 7.0.1 on UNIX

    It got the browser right however saying "UNIX" for operating system is far more inaccurate than saying "WinNT" for Windows 7.

  10. Re:Step 2 on Ask Slashdot: Smartest Way To Transfer an Old Domain/Site? · · Score: 2

    Set up mail forwarding to the new domain so you always hit 'reply' from there. Never reply on the old domain.

    Also if you filter the mail into a separate folder it helps you to find contacts and services still using the old address.

  11. Re:Child pornography is not an excuse on Against Online Surveillance? You Must Be 'For' Child Porn, Says Legislator · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Looks Fake on UK Law Enforcement Starts Seizing Music Blogs · · Score: 1

    It tells me that my Operating System is "NT" not specifically NT 6.1 or Win7 and my browser is "Desktop".

  13. Re:Cell Phone vs. WiFi on Ontario Teachers' Union Calls For Health-Related Classroom Wi-Fi Ban · · Score: 1

    Cell phones are digital. It doesn't matter what data they transmit the carrier wave is digital.

    But it's not like a square (sharp) wave can cut you.

  14. Re:Not sure why this is even up for debate on Europe's 'Right To Be Forgotten' Threatens Online Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Of course you can deploy truth to discredit someone. The so called "Right to be forgotten" will be used as a censorship tool to avoid criticism.

  15. Re:Not sure why this is even up for debate on Europe's 'Right To Be Forgotten' Threatens Online Free Speech · · Score: 1

    But it does.

  16. Re:Your own speech on Europe's 'Right To Be Forgotten' Threatens Online Free Speech · · Score: 1

    By own blog?

    You mean the thing I use to write about scammers and con-artists. I wonder how many of them would like to censor a blog that exposes them?

  17. Re:Not sure why this is even up for debate on Europe's 'Right To Be Forgotten' Threatens Online Free Speech · · Score: 2

    People, especially young people, make mistakes. It doesn't make them nitwits, it makes them human.

    and society understands this.

  18. Re:Not sure why this is even up for debate on Europe's 'Right To Be Forgotten' Threatens Online Free Speech · · Score: 4, Insightful

    However it's still a historical fact. If someone writes about you on a blog, truthfully (I don't advocate the publishing of inaccuracies) then what right to you have to censor them in 10 years time?

    This seems like it's set to become the next DMCA. Don't like what someone wrote; censor them.

  19. Re:Study shows... on Study: Online Dating Makes People "Picky" and "Unrealistic" · · Score: 1

    Now with online dating, the market has basically evened out somewhat for men as women are openly competing for mates, thus they have become more like sellers, allowing men to start behaving somewhat more like buyers.

    Nope, prostitution has been around longer than on-line dating.

  20. Re:If you want to reduce piracy... on RIAA Chief Whines That SOPA Opponents Were "Unfair" · · Score: 1

    DRM format?

    iTunes doesn't have DRM.

  21. Re:So? on Pasadena Police Encrypt, Deny Access To Police Radio · · Score: 1

    How's your tin-foil hat treating you today?

    Citizens have the right to privacy, that includes not having their personal details disclosed for the world to listen in on. There is absolutely no excuse for law enforcement to be using unsecured communications.

  22. Re:So? on Pasadena Police Encrypt, Deny Access To Police Radio · · Score: 1

    It's in the public's best interest that all police communication be encrypted and unbreakable. Reading private information over unencrypted radio is simply unacceptable, especially with encryption technology to widely available.

  23. Re:So? on Pasadena Police Encrypt, Deny Access To Police Radio · · Score: 1

    Why not present the radio traffic time lapsed on the web?

    Because it defeats the purpose of encryption.

  24. Re:Big deal on Pasadena Police Encrypt, Deny Access To Police Radio · · Score: 0

    All police are going this route and shortly the encryption will be broken or cloned radios will be available, so for thugs in the know it's a non-issue, for the news they will have to foster better connections with the people in the department, for the stupid, well you deserve what you get.

    Ok, can you provide proof of concept for your claim?

    In Australia many police radios have been encrypted for years.
    No one has broken them yet.

  25. Re:Some things I agree with, some I don't on Cops Set Up Extortion Sting On Symantec's Source Code Thieves · · Score: 2

    Seems Anonymous has been looking out for the little guy so far.

    Yes, by leaking their credit cards and personal information.
