  1. New York Times on The Atlantic's Scientology Advertorial · · Score: 1

    I can recall a fair amount of sponsored ads pretending to be reporting in the New York Times. During the run-up to invading Iraq.

    One of the cops always yells 'he's got a gun!' as the broken door gives way.

  2. Big Dumb Pipe on UK ISP PlusNet Testing Carrier-Grade NAT Instead of IPv6 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There should be a Kickstarter campaign to create an ISP that is actually named Big Dumb Pipe with promises not to up sell, or offer 'cloud storage', or offer security suites to protect your snowflakes, or pretend to be a content creator, but merely provide access and up time, for they are only a Big Dumb Pipe (tm). Oh; and no caps or throttling.

  3. Re:Sucks to be him on Bug Sends Lost-Phone Seekers To Same Wrong Address · · Score: 1

    While frustrating for him, from the outside looking in, it's kinda funny. No matter what he does to assert his innocence, it will appear as lies to the owner of the missing phone...

    Just like falsely accusing someone of pedophilia in the public square... STAY COMPLIANT, CITIZEN OR WE WILL DESTROY YOU.

  4. Schprokets on 3D Printable Ammo Clip Skirts New Proposed Gun Laws · · Score: 2

    Sprockets never interact with another sprocket. Gears do.

    AND NOW WE DANCE.

  5. Same folks on US DOJ Claims It Did Not Entrap Megaupload · · Score: 2

    The same folks that were going to send a script kiddie to PMITA prison for more years than murderers for downloading publicly-funded research papers? The same folks that would rather storm-trooper raid medicinal marijuana stores than even investigate the crooked bankers that destablized the world economy?

    Believe them? Nope; not anymore.

  6. Pinkertons on MIT Investigating School's Role In Swartz Suicide · · Score: 1

    One can't help but question why the government had such a hardon for the case, considering JSTOR dropped all charges, and MIT didn't really care.

    He actively opposed SOPA and especially those making profits off of firewalling tax-payer funded research.

    He fought against moneyed interests and they sent in the Pinkertons; it's just that the cause of death was a little unusual.

  7. Re:You Disgust Me on MIT Investigating School's Role In Swartz Suicide · · Score: 1

    Exactly. This scumbag prosector should be (legally) hounded in perpetuity for the blood on their hands. Though no doubt, they will take 'early retirement' and become a well-paid consultant to the copyright cabals for services rendered.

  8. Nanotubes! on New Threadlike Carbon Nanotube Fiber Unveiled · · Score: 1

    They can do just about everything*!


    * Including leasurely strolling thru the blood / brain barrier, but we don't need no steeking regulations!

  9. Re:Chrome's attitude on Chrome 24 Released, Chrome Beta Channel For Android Added · · Score: 2, Informative

    Chrome's functionality sounds great, but I do not like its attitude: it establishes numerous connections "on the side" talking back to Google central all the time, almost constantly transmitting all sorts of information: Google intercepts and highjacks most of the traffic when someone uses Chrome, that much is obvious.

    Use Chromium instead.

  10. Re:Another idiot buying into the bitcoin scam. on Online Gambling Site Bets On Bitcoin To Avoid U.S. Laws · · Score: 1

    and don't forget the gold-pressed latinum.

  11. Following orders on Thousands of SCADA Devices Discovered On the Open Internet · · Score: 2

    I would blame the engineers less than the vapid, bonus-seeking salesmen telling them to make access as stupid and easy as possible to allow mid-level managers to check in on things without having to get off their asses or sometimes even off the golf course. As usual, most of the blame can be laid at the foot of that three letter monument to sloth and incompetence: MBA.

  12. So we're agreement on NIH Neuroscientists: Junior Seau Had Brain Disease Caused By Hits To the Head · · Score: 1

    Totally nude football.

  13. Money to mouth on Connecticut Groups Cancels Plan to Destroy Violent Games · · Score: 0

    The NRA needs to quit whining and actually use their huge bloody mound of lucre to assist the mental health structure in the US and undo the massive damage Saint Reagan did in the 80s when the mentally ill were pushed out into the streets and made homeless. That and the scary loophole of the law's attitude of 'he has to do something first' - mainly as they have no resources nor money to do anything but clean up the inevitable aftermaths.

  14. Except the West has no desire to return to the 3rd century. Large chunks of the Levant, however, would damn sure love to return to the 12th.

  15. He needs got on Java Zero-Day Vulnerability Rolled Into Exploit Packs · · Score: 2

    Folks like Paunch need to get got if for no other reason than to remove a justification for governents around the world (China and the US getting closer to the same page everyday) to regulate the Internet and render online anonymity a crime (all in the name of Snowflake Security, of course).

  16. Re:2029 approach on Asteroid Apophis Just Got Bigger · · Score: 1

    And that'll be about the right time for our space-tech to have caught up enough for us to be able to 'lasso' it.

    Oh, please; by that time Congress will still be debating about raising the debt ceiling. Maybe the Chinese, but only if they're paid for their effort (read: Taiwan).

  17. Clack-Clack on World's First Linux Powered Rifle Announced · · Score: 1

    sudo make-me-a-sandwich

  18. Re:Mix on Man Charged With HIPAA Violations For Video Taping Police · · Score: 1

    Do you not know the road that takes us down?

    The one we're already on, that has no exits and severe tire (read: individual) damage will result from trying to back up.

  19. Cops on Man Charged With HIPAA Violations For Video Taping Police · · Score: 0

    If cops were honestly screened for sociopathy, what percentage would test positive? 30%? 40%? The smaller the burg, that number nears unity; former high school bullies and little-man complexes that found an outlet for their aggression.

  20. Citation Required on Australia Is On So Much Fire, You Can See It From Orbit · · Score: 1

    Oh, and we have a cure or treatment for every venereal disease now!

    Really?? I'm only asking for a friend.

  21. Gander Tracking on Texas High School Student Loses Lawsuit Challenging RFID Tracking Requirement · · Score: 1

    I assume the staff are also required to wear these badges and are tracked as well, right? RIGHT?

  22. Lie Detector on Linguistics Identifies Anonymous Users · · Score: 1

    This strikes me as akin to a Lie Detector. I think an honest court would side with the accused 100% of the time as even this cannot absolutely proove they were the author.

    Though sadly, a Roberts/Scalia/Thomas Supreme Court would rule against such an individual and for the corporation or state security organs. Dicks.

  23. Good Thing on Kuwait Sentences Two Men To Jail For Tweets Criticizing Ruler · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Good thing the US saved these scions of freedom from the clutches of a tyrant, eh?

  24. Re:The really disturbing part on Anonymous Helps Find Evidence In Gang Rape Case · · Score: 1

    It would be a shame - a downright dirty shame - if their football shrine with all those precious trophies and memorabilia would suffer some sort of horrible, destructive fate.

    Boy I hope that doesn't happen.

  25. Huge assumption on Anonymous Helps Find Evidence In Gang Rape Case · · Score: 1

    You're assuming the prosecutor *wants* to make this case, Not sure how far Stuebenville is from Canton (Football Hall of Fame), but the sport at all levels is rather sacrosanct in that state.
