  1. A thousand days on Bradley Manning Pleads Guilty To 10 Charges · · Score: 1

    A thousand days of justice denied.

  2. Re:Backwards compatibility on Boeing Touts Fighter Jet To Rival F-35 — At Half the Price · · Score: 1

    The Harper Government has a hard-on for the F35 and the Canadian public really has no idea WHY.

    Mainly, because the Conservatives are part of the GOP franchise (case in point: raping the land for tar exports).

  3. Fire ratings on 3-D Printed Car Nears Production · · Score: 1

    I have to wonder if there are burn rate / toxicity requirements for passenger cars, such as for aircraft. That could put a fiery wrench into the works.

  4. Jam the claim system on What a 'Six Strikes' Copyright Notice Looks Like · · Score: 2

    There are absolutely no details about who the copyright owner is, what specific content was infringed, when the alleged infringement was made, what details identifies MY "Internet service", etc.

    A more legally correct wording could state "Someone who claims to be the copyright owner, claims that the copyright was infringed from the specific IP which we, Comcast, claim to be belonging to your account at the claimed time of the infringement." But that would be just too many "claims"!

    It would be fun to see bots filing bogus copyright claims with all the ISPs with the IP addresses of entertainment MBAs, their lawyers, lawmakers, celebs...

    Purely an intellectual exersize; I would never advocate such a thing.

    Perish the thought.

  5. So MIT says on MIT Says Gunman Hoax Call Mentioned Swartz Case · · Score: -1, Troll

    Not sure I trust what they say at this point. MIT will never wash themselves clean of Swartz's blood.

  6. Bury it deep on British Farmers Growing Their Own Internet Service · · Score: 1

    Some hired noobs have the innate, breathtaking ability to bottom a plow completely below ground.

  7. Point and Click on Software Lets Scientists Assemble DNA · · Score: 1

    Bioweapons.

    Careful what you wish for.

  8. Silly beyond measure on NOAA Report: World Labor Capacity Dropping Because of Increased Temperatures · · Score: 1

    Except for the massive uptick in diseases (North American Malaria is back, btw) and a dearth of potable water from no snow melt....

    But you keep preachin', Pollyanna!

  9. Your assignment on Six-Strikes System Starts In U.S. · · Score: 1

    Once a day, download a Linux Live CD via BitTorrent. Leave it on to seed. Share your results.

  10. Re: First strike on Six-Strikes System Starts In U.S. · · Score: 1

    Actually in cricket, one out and you're out, so you have to go in. 10 outs and the side is out...

    You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

    Each man that's in the side that's in, goes out, and when he's out, he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.

    When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.

    Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

    When both sides have been in and out including the not-outs, that's the end of the game.

    This is why they lost their empire.

  11. Hopefully West Virginia will use this opportunity to fix the holes in their procurement process...

    This is West Virgina we're talking about here. For many, many decades, Senator Robert Byrd *covered* that state in wasteful pork barrel spending, all of it justified with BS about them being poor Appalachian folk (that made out like bandits from his largesse). Given this history, I'm suprpised anyone in W Va government even noticed, let alone complained.

  12. Side Effect on Bit9 Says 32 Malicious Programs Whitelisted In Recent Hack · · Score: 2

    The sad side effect of endless war, warrantless wiretapping, blatant disregard of the Rule of Law, is that I'm left to wonder if any of this is true, instead of just a False Flag operation to justify the final destruction of privacy and the true Internet.

  13. Guilty state on West Virgnia Auditor Finds Cisco Router Purchase Not Performed Legally · · Score: 1

    So if the state succesfully convicts itself for breaking their own law, then.... Ah! *this* is why they have State Prisons!

  14. It boggles the mind on Pirate Bay Shifts Connections From Sweden To Ease Heat on Pirate Party · · Score: 2

    I still don't understand how an entire Nordic country would so willingly become lackeys of not only the US government, but the fucking US entertainment industry too?

    I expect ignorance, apathy, and doing what you're told from my fellow USians, but not from enlightened, progressive folks of a country and culture that still has a real education system. Mystifying.

  15. Don't worry buyers on New Technology Produces Cheaper Tantalum and Titanium · · Score: 1

    Don't worry buyers; the manufacturers will be sure to pass this four-fold cost reduction on to you, their valued customer!

  16. Can't wait! on Intel Announces Clover Trail+ Atom Platform For Smartphones and Tablets · · Score: 1

    For thee hour battery li

  17. Sure on Fingerprint Purchasing Technology Ensures Buyer Has a Pulse · · Score: 1

    One would *never* be able to simulate a pulse in a dead finger.

  18. Tor on Copyright Alert System To Launch Monday · · Score: 1

    I suspect even using Tor will get you on this list, as counter-intuitive that may seem. Destroying privacy is the real driving force behind this system.

  19. China accelerating on Zendesk Compromised; Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest Users Affected · · Score: 1

    Group ATP1 is really accelerating their work.

  20. 1:33 on Quadrocopters Throwing and Catching an Inverted Pendulum · · Score: 1

    A puff of smoke at 1:33; I think someone lost a bit of propeller to the pendulum.

  21. Jerk on Ask Slashdot: Starting From Scratch After a Burglary? · · Score: 1

    Also, no Windows computers allowed in my house.

    What does that have to do with the robbery _at all_?? Maybe you were robbed by Karma for being an ideologue.

  22. Ring Cycle on Report: Windows Blue Reaches Its First Milestone Build · · Score: 1

    After Windows Screen, when Windows Death is released, the fat lady will sing.

  23. Irony repeating itself on The Patents That Threaten 3-D Printing · · Score: 1

    Starting out, the US ripped-off quite a bit of IP and tech from Jolly Old, all of it justified by the Revolutionary War thing.

  24. Occupy 2.0 on Large Corporations Displacing Aging IT Workers With H-1B Visa Workers · · Score: 1

    This time, Occupy ranks should be of 50-somethings, turned out of well-paying positions for the crime of giving their best years to an employer and daring to prepare reaping what was promised them when humans ran the place. *This* would be an Occupy movement that would resonate throughout all countries.

  25. Re:Vista 2 on Windows 7 Still Being Sold On Up To 93% of British PCs · · Score: 1
