  1. For the love of God... on Schmidt: Google Once Considered Issuing Currency · · Score: 4, Funny

    Please no more bit coin stories...oh...my bad.

  2. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 1

    This. Most biblical scholars seem to agree with you.

  3. Re:Ouch! on Sykipot Trojan Variant Stealing DoD Smartcard Credentials · · Score: 2

    I believe you're referring to my post. I didn't say it would be "totally OK". I said it's better than basic longing/password security. I have seen L/P security breached thousands of times. This is the first I have head of a security issue with DoD CACs.

  4. Re:CAC still uses passwords on Passwords Not Going Away Any Time Soon · · Score: 1

    I certainly would not use a DoD CAC on any non DoD site. Maybe I haven't thought this out well enough, but I would think there would be a way to civilianize this to work on the internet in general. (i.e. the websites would use the trusted issuers to verify the identity certificates and would not have access to actually view the certificate.) But, I'm not an expert on the topic.

  5. Re:CAC still uses passwords on Passwords Not Going Away Any Time Soon · · Score: 2

    Of course not. But if you get multiple trusted organizations to to issue PKI certificates to load on to a smart card and every person to buy a smart card and reader for their computer and then get every website to add in the functionality...problem solved. Somebody make it happen.

  6. Re:CAC still uses passwords on Passwords Not Going Away Any Time Soon · · Score: 1

    True, it still needs a PIN. But that CAC works for every DoD website. As opposed to remembering hundreds of login/password combinations.

  7. Unclassified Military on Passwords Not Going Away Any Time Soon · · Score: 3, Informative

    In the unclassified areas of the military passwords are almost gone (at least for me) by using PKI and our CAC cards.

  8. Re:And here are the predictions for 2012 on 2012 and the Technology Blahs · · Score: 1

    It's okay...I play Words with Friends, too. Damn you, Zynga.

  9. Re:Not spreading the wealth around? on Why America Doesn't Need More Tech Giants Like Apple · · Score: 1

    He any other financial advisor will always tell you to buy stocks because they know that basic rule: Money flows to company owners.

  10. Re:Exactly on Why America Doesn't Need More Tech Giants Like Apple · · Score: 1

    Oh and I suppose you're the judge of what is "unfair"? Our government is around to ensure everything is fair. It's around to ensure your rights aren't trampled. You don't have a right to be a millionaire. Nor do you have a right to your life being "fair".

  11. Re:Not spreading the wealth around? on Why America Doesn't Need More Tech Giants Like Apple · · Score: 1

    "...the greater part of your income you invest, which only makes your income greater, but doesn't fuel the economy on the long run." Complete nonsense. Let's just pull all investments out of Wall Street and see what happens to the economy shall we?

    I'll be sure to tell Clark Howard that he doesn't know what he's talking about.

  13. Not spreading the wealth around? on Why America Doesn't Need More Tech Giants Like Apple · · Score: 2

    Seriously? Buy stock. Wealth spreads to owners. It's that simple.

  14. Re:No, no, no on Hard Drive Prices Up 150% In Less Than Two Months · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's okay. We just store stuff in the cloud nowadays.

  15. Re:They cancel products left and right on Google To Shutter Knol, Wave, Gears · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They cancel them because no one really uses them.

  16. Re:Not so fast on Petition Calls For Making Net Access Inalienable Right · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Both. I dot own an ISP. I don't own any servers. In fact, I own no part of the Internet. Where, then, does this "right" come from?

  17. Not so fast on Petition Calls For Making Net Access Inalienable Right · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You can't have an inalienable right to someone else's property.

  18. Re:We don't make much of anything anymore on Ask Slashdot: Inexpensive Anti-Theft Vehicle Tracking System? · · Score: 1

    With all the talk of California's looming bankruptcy, I seriously doubt that.

  19. Re:We don't make much of anything anymore on Ask Slashdot: Inexpensive Anti-Theft Vehicle Tracking System? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why on earth would you NOT count California? Last I checked they have neither seceded or fell into the ocean, so it's still one of our states. Even then parts of it are virtually bankrupt.

  20. Re:Probably. on Did Fracking Cause Recent Oklahoma Earthquakes? · · Score: 1

    I really have no clue. I'm trusting the scientists on our news at this point.

  21. Re:Probably. on Did Fracking Cause Recent Oklahoma Earthquakes? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Most of the news around here (Oklahoma) is saying probably not. The seismologists that have been on are saying that, while the earthquakes were shallow, they were still far too deep to be caused by fracking.

  22. Re:Netflix on Microsoft Killing Silverlight? · · Score: 4, Funny

    They do indeed use Silverlight. Obviously they will move to much successful Flash.

  23. Re:at last.. on Scientists Restore Lost Brain Function In Rat With Synthetic Device · · Score: 2

    Because living within your means shows a clear lack of brain function...

  24. Re:Tax planning and rich people on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 1

    Too bad the GOP Tea Party is completely against it.

    I'll bite. I'm a registered (R) and agree with much of the TP concepts and have never heard or read anything that says "we're against education". You may have heard "we don't think throwing money at the education problem is the solution", but that's not at all the same thing.

    "And now they're trying to merge your shit USPTO into ours crap European one."

    Need a citation...not that I don't believe you, just would like to read about it.
