  1. Zounds! on After a Lull, Sun Server Business Grows Under Oracle · · Score: 1

    Do you know what this means? PHB's are still idiots! Stop the presses!

  2. Keep it up kiddies on Sony Suffers Yet More Security Breaches · · Score: 1

    and we'll end up with as much on-line privacy as one taking a dump in a transparent toilet in Times Square. Anonymity will be a felony and all our traffic will be routed through Morality Police / Think of the Children Central.

  3. Hah! on Doctors To Patients: First, Do No Yelp Harm · · Score: 1

    The Constitution says the government cannot infringe on your right to free speech....

    Back in your Freedom Pen!!

  4. Lemme guess on Mandatory Automotive Black Boxes May Be On the Way · · Score: 1

    We owners and users of said vehicles will have no access to our own data, right? Other than 24/7 surveilance, what do I win?

  5. Show that things are a-ok on the comfy VB forms on New Siemens SCADA Vulnerabilities Kept Secret, Says Schneier · · Score: 1

    meanwhile, the processes race towards disaster. I assume this is what the Iranians experienced.

  6. Badges? on New Bill Pushes For Warrants To Access Cloud Data · · Score: 1

    "We don't need no steenking badges!!"

  7. Greatful Dead no longer relavant on RIAA-Backed Warrantless Search Bill In California · · Score: 1

  8. One of the critical tools on Congress Makes Deal To Renew Patriot Act For 4 Years · · Score: 2

    the intelligence community has to keep America safe from the Rule of Law and Privacy."

  9. KDE on Proposal For Gnome To Become Linux-Only · · Score: 1

    I've honestly tried KDE a few times, but it just feels like being trapped in a heavily-branded Kartoon with gears scattered everywhere.

  10. Nope on Apple Causes Religious Reaction In Brains of Fans · · Score: 1

    The devout and the atheists are of the same cloth: knowing they're absolutely right about the definitvely unknowable. I'm an agnostic because organized religion (all of 'em) is the most ruthless killing machine man ever invented. Not to mention the only thing all religions can actually agree upon is misogyny.

  11. Fabulous on Google Is Serious, Chrome 13 Hides URL Bar · · Score: 1

    The same amount of brilliance as Windows helpfully offering to hide the extensions of known file types. #DoNotWant

  12. Umm on Apple Support Forums Suggest Malware Explosion · · Score: 1

    The security model of BSD is fairly proven

    Fixed.

  13. Unitended Consequence on Six Cities Named For Vehicle2Vehicle Communications Trial · · Score: 1

    If autonomous systems become the norm, old cars without the functionality will not be allowed on the major roads, directly impacting the working poor, already on the margins of oblivion.

  14. Entertainment Event Horizon on New Bill Ups Punishment For Hosts of Infringing Video Streams · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this can happen: if at a certain point, a critical mass of folk just decide: 'You know what? As much as I enjoy that Movie/TV/Music, it's just not worth the hassle of being treated like a criminal'.

    "Shaka, when the walls fell." /irony

  15. It's all about visibility on Coffee Wards Off Cancer · · Score: 1

    I guess it's because we all love tatas but the prostate just isn't very sexy. Kind of sad, really...

    Thus, I have begun wearing assless chaps to help bring recognition to the problem.

  16. Re:Someone is encouraging the dissension on Public Face of Anonymous Leaves Group · · Score: 1

    However, there does seem to be a conspiracy against using capitol letters.

  17. Good News on Fingerprint Scanner That Works From 6 Feet · · Score: 3, Interesting

    for glove sales.

  18. Silver Lining on Swiped Tokens Expose Android Devices To Data Theft · · Score: 1

    If Google had any guts, they would push out updates without the greedy, trogliditic carriers involvement, using the unassailabe justification of security.

    Of course in retaliation, the a-hole carriers would suddenly switch to Bing even on Android devices.

  19. Steven Wright on An IP Address For Every Light Bulb · · Score: 2

    Soon his joke about randomly flipping a light switch and getting nasty letter from some guy in Germany willl come true JUST AS THE PROPHECY PREDICTED.

  20. Troubling on Air France 447 Black Boxes Readable · · Score: 1

    If there is a fundamental flaw in the Airbus system, will this invesitgation be allowed to air it to the public? Or will the incestuous goverment ownership / regulation relationship result in a public statement of 'inconclusive' while the flaws (one would pray) are fixed very, very quietly so as not to disturb current and future Airbus sales.

    To be fair, I'm not sure such a scenario would be impossible w.r.t. the FAA and Boeing too.

  21. Base Closing Committee on Can Computers Be Used To Optimize the US Tax Code? · · Score: 1

    Tax reform would have to be based on this model: once set in motion, all decisions are final. A nice addendum would be that all the inevitable future tack-ons and carve-outs (read: pork barrel) would auto-expire in six years with no mechanism for renewal. And such exemptions to the tax code have to be voted on their own, not as an amedment to any other bill, period.

  22. To be blunt and non-PC on The Cost of US Security · · Score: 1

    I bet you live in a far more homogenous society than the US. It's as wrong as the day is long, but ethnic differences strike a deep, tribalistic chord in the flawed human soul.

  23. The backing track on US To Release International Cyber Strategy Today · · Score: 1

    will be "ICE, ICE, Baby."

  24. Coming Soon on Thousands Marched Against Censorship · · Score: 0

    to a Republican-controlled country near you. #WhyBotherVoting

  25. Re:Isn't leaving things out fun? on Sergey Brin: Windows Is "Torturing Users" · · Score: 1

    This reads like you do everything (including browsing) in Assembly. Or possibly cuneiform.
