  1. In other words on 3D Printing of Human Tissue To Spark Ethics Debate · · Score: 1

    DICK Cheney is going to live forever.

  2. 'The alleged surveillance may be conducted through third party advertising networks used by millions of commercial web sites and mobile applications across all industries,'

    So there's a dark side to advertising. Who knew?

  3. Re:so what about all my old devices? on Old-school Wi-Fi Is Slowing Down Networks, Cisco Says · · Score: 1

    "For everything that doesn't move, it should be wired anyway." -- Cat 5 Salesman of the Year

  4. Trust on Microsoft Joins Open Compute Project, Will Share Server Designs · · Score: 0

    Trust but Verif--

    On second thought; fuck that: never trust Microsoft, F/OSS folk!

  5. TPP Death on Edward Snowden Says NSA Engages In Industrial Espionage · · Score: 2

    I am fervently hoping Greenwald, et al expose enough proof of US crimes against other countries to totally and effectively destroy TPP and any other secret hell-spawn akin to it.

  6. Time Served on Ask Slashdot: What Does Edward Snowden Deserve? · · Score: 1

    and subpoena powers to go along with his chairmanship of the High Crimes and Treason Truth Committee investigating the real effing criminals.

  7. Jobs slipped the noose on How Silicon Valley CEOs Conspired To Suppress Engineers' Wages · · Score: 1

    but the rest of them shouldn't. Pricks.

  8. Re:Ability to do this was there for a while... on Ukrainian Protesters Receive Mass Text Message Ordering Them To Disperse · · Score: 1

    Now every Banana Republic dictator can deploy it against unwilling citizens.

    True, but you have to admit they had great catalogs.

  9. Tyler Durden on T-Mobile Jumping Into the Check-Cashing Industry · · Score: 1

    Zero paper means zero way of stopping manipulation of your personal ones and zeros - most especially by your government that has proven rules mean jack shit if you're on their list. A push of a button, aaaaand you're penniless (thus homeless) with no way of proving you've been fucked by those that control the databases. Mission Accomplished!

  10. The system works on Hacker Says He Could Access 70,000 Healthcare.Gov Records In 4 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Lie! There aren't even 70,000 people who have successfully registered yet.

  11. Bylaw Number One on RSA Boycot Group Sets Up Rival Conference · · Score: 2

    No Government Spooks (nor their hand maidens).

  12. Never on Senator Dianne Feinstein: NSA Metadata Program Here To Stay · · Score: 1

    "A lot of the privacy people, perhaps, don't understand that we still occupy the role of the Great Satan"

    But daring to ask *why* we are so hated is still considered an act of treason (spoiler: it ain't because 'they hate our freedoms').

  13. The weird part on Building an Open Source Nest · · Score: 1

    About ten years ago, even evil Honeywell offered programmable thermostats in the classic round form. Now? Can't find one. I'd like to replace the current thermostat, but it's mounted on a large, round escutcheon and placing a rectangular box in the center of that would look too stupid to tolerate.

  14. Job Interviews on Google Announces Smart Contact Lens Project For Diabetics · · Score: 1

    Make sure not to wear them to a job interview, lest you're wirelessly ruled out due the risk of higher medical costs related to diabetes.

  15. Another flaw on Phil Zimmerman Launching Secure "Blackphone" · · Score: 1

    Given that the NSA (and doubtless others) intercepts of packages, how the hell do you obtain one of these without the real risk of it being tampered with before the sacred unboxing?

  16. $50,000 on Code.org: Give Us More H-1B Visas Or the Kids Get Hurt · · Score: 1

    "Stop scanning my IP, you pirates!"

  18. Soundbite Freidman on If I Had a Hammer · · Score: 1

    He's a self-absorbed hack who's only real accomplishment is getting on TV talk shows to flog his breathy, home-spun, aphorism BS for book sales.

    He can stick his Olive Tree *and* his Lexus up his backside.

  19. POS on Target Confirms Point-of-Sale Malware Was Used In Attack · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They were quite psychic when selecting this particular acronym.

  20. 30 to 40? on Google Co-Opts Whale-Watching Boat To Ferry Employees · · Score: 0

    After learning that Google had co-opted the $4 million, 83-foot, 150-passenger whale-watching catamaran MV/Triumphant to ferry as few as 30-40 Googlers to work

    Time to put together that U-boat Kickstarter project.

  21. Walmart on Intel Challenges Manufacturers To Avoid "Conflict Metals" · · Score: 1

    Just like Walmart is never to blame for abused and / or illegal immigrant crews that clean their stores, I fully expect Intel, et al to hire intermediary contractors to acquire what they need - most especially plausible deniability.

  22. As planned on UK Benefits System In Deeper Trouble? · · Score: 2

    It is meant to be an abject failure so the Torries can dump it entirely and replace it with the issuing of bootstraps.

    The Rand / Koch movement is not just for domestic US implementation.

  23. Makes sense on McAfee Brand Name Will Be Replaced By Intel Security · · Score: 1

    Given that Intel is one of the most important branches of the NSA.

  24. Cold starts on Australian Team Working On Engines Without Piston Rings · · Score: 1

    For the clearances to be right at operating temperature, they have to be far greater when cold. On cold starts, the blow-by will probably pretty bad - enough to fail US federal emissions limits; doubly so for California's.

  25. The mind boggles on Intel's Knights Landing — 72 Cores, 3 Teraflops · · Score: 1

    as to how many NSA backdoors this will feature.
