  1. History books on How Sabu Orchestrated the Hack of FBI Contractor ManTech · · Score: 1

    I still think old Hector stands an outside shot of eclipsing Benedict Arnold in the history books (assuming we will still be allowed truthful books in the near future).

  2. Came for this on Elon Musk's Solar City Is Ramping Up Solar Panel Production · · Score: 1

    you need to refresh your dimensional analysis, because you are missing a term or two

    Whenever there's even a tangential mention of electricity production / consumption, I know there will be a furious sub-thread about units!

    /Grabs popcorn.

  3. Apple Cars on Google To Take On Apple's CarPlay · · Score: 1

    We'll obviously learn details soon enough, but for now, we are left to wonder whether it'll be Apple or Google that ends up owning the automotive market.

    Oh, yes; I'm sure Apple will cover the entire market, all the way from your average Bugatti down to economy cars like Audi and even BMW!

  4. Kochs on IRS Lost Emails of 6 More Employees Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    Given that the Koch brothers are bankrolling the entire Tea Party 'phenomenon', the IRS was more than justified to investigate their tissue of lies claiming to be a non-profit citizen-led organization.

    And indirectly (because campaign money is now free speech), those calling for this witch hunt are also funded by the Koch brothers.

  5. *Please* tell me you filed a complaint with the BBB and more importantly your state AG! I would also name the retailer as a co-conspirator if they left this fraudulent product up for sale even after the manufacturer confessed.

  6. EnergyStar Ratings on Cable Boxes Are the 2nd Biggest Energy Users In Many Homes · · Score: 1

    If a consumer communications provider requires their equipment be used, that equipment should meet increasingly stringent energy consumption requirements. What's good for the water heater and refrigerator is good for the DVR / cable box (AND the cable phone modem, which runs much hotter than the combo cable / router / wireless modem!).

  7. Scumbags on FWD.us: GOP Voters To Be Targeted By Data Scientists · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A transparently cynical ploy to increase their pipeline of Asian / Indian H1B visa slave labor. DIAF.

  8. Open-source fans are encouraged to use AMD hardware on Linux while those just wanting the best performance and overall experience should see NVIDIA with their binary driver.

    You should definitely chose White. Or Black. Definitely.

  9. Willie Sutton on US To Auction 29,656 Bitcoins Seized From Silk Road · · Score: 1

    "Why do you rob banks?"

    "Because that's where the money is."

    He never knew about the US government's War on Drugs (TM). FedGov's peers would term it a 'good earner'.

  10. Re:The US Government can overrule anything on The Government Can No Longer Track Your Cell Phone Without a Warrant · · Score: 2

    Hilarious that you think mere elected officials and judges have actual control over the NSA. Pop quiz: how many DNIs have ever been fired for lying?

  11. Well, then on Cisco Opposes Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Well, then I'm glad the NSA tampers with your filthy wares, you odious scum.

  12. Divide and Conquer on Mayday Anti-PAC On Its Second Round of Funding · · Score: 2

    I've seen inklings of a smear campaign against this movement already, trying to exploit the same stupid red meat issues (abortion, gun control, taxes) to alienate potential supporters that would otherwise emphatically agree that corporations are not people and should no longer control our government.

    I do wish them luck. They're gonna need it.

  13. Jayhawks on Britain Gets National .uk Web Address · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the inanity of a certain supposed educational institution that insists on calling itself 'KU'.

    "Oh, so you're Kansas University."

    "No! We are the University of Kansas!"

    "So... you're UK."

    "NO!!! That's Kentucky! We're KU!!"

    Lather, Rinse, Stupid.

  14. Re:War of government against people? on America 'Has Become a War Zone' · · Score: 1

    The Feds used one when they burned some 50 women and children to death in Waco.

    Whelp, now we've heard from Cliven Bundy.

  15. Re:Not surprising. on Kids With Operators Manual Alert Bank Officials: "We Hacked Your ATM" · · Score: 2

    It's Canada, not the US.

    Good for them, as in the US they would have shot on sight or would already be in Gitmo.

  16. Re:Obama's police state? on US Marshals Seize Police Stingray Records To Keep Them From the ACLU · · Score: 1

    Are they simply sociopaths with no conscience?

    Ding-ding-ding. They're just a slightly refined form of the classical high school bully turned small town cop.

  17. Quite clever on Geophysicists Discover How Rocks Produce Magnetic Pulses · · Score: 3, Funny

    Clever work. I'd go so far as to call it... igneous.

    Tip your wait staff.

  18. Never on Netflix Ditches Silverlight For HTML5 On Macs · · Score: 1

    It is well-documented by the MAFIAA that all Linux users are thieving, murderous scum that deserve nothing but the grinding heel of a jackboot.

  19. No thanks on Netflix Ditches Silverlight For HTML5 On Macs · · Score: 2

    also, it saves a bunch of battery to run it in html5 than in the silverlight. for a macbook air you can get an extra 2 hours watching netflix in html5 instead of silverlight! that's huge!

    And how are we to get corn to pop just using HTML5? Run Flash in the background?

  20. Drone crew on Solar Impulse 2 Makes First Flight · · Score: 1

    If you look closely before takeoff, there are two guys literally holding the wings up at each end to balance it. They have to run with the plane for the first few seconds until it gets enough lift to balance on its own. The landing video shows both bicyclists and men racing to meet up with the wings to hold them up once the plane stops.

    This delicate and accurate work cries out for a couple of drones, not dudes, huffing and akimbo.

  21. Flash on Crucial Launches MX100 SSD At Well Under 50 Cents Per GiB · · Score: 1

    I still have a conventional disk in my desktop rig. I also frequently end up with a web page with Flash that nearly brings the entire comp to it's knees, due to near-constant disk activity. It's bad enough my electro-mechanical drive is being worn down by garbage software; not sure I could live with an SSD being literally consumed by the same indefensible cause.

  22. Technical leads on TrueCrypt Cryptanalysis To Include Crowdsourcing Aspect · · Score: 1

    Is there a method for individuals to legally canary themselves if they get NSL-ed (which wouldn't surprise me in the least for this audit)?

  23. Make that search a quick one on Google To Spend $1 Billion On Fleet of Satellites · · Score: 1

    Once they're deployed, you can look up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome anywhere in the world

    ...but be quick about it.

  24. Re:Sounds awesome except.... on Patent Troll Ordered To Pay For the Costs of Fighting a Bad Patent · · Score: 1

    The problem is also that the USPO granted the patent in the first place :/

    Then they should pay the legal bill.

  25. IT Crowd on Imparting Malware Resistance With a Randomizing Compiler · · Score: 1

    "IT Department. Have you tried randomizing your compiler?"
