  1. Smear campaign on US Embassy Sanctioned Lawsuit Against Aussie ISP iiNet · · Score: 1

    I think that people who take everything they read in the media at face value, are dangerous mentally ill douchebags.

  2. $this on MPAA-Dodd Investigation Petition Reaches Goal · · Score: 1

    Same problem with our UK e-petitions. I signed a few and just got a bunch of propaganda emailed to me.
    Just gotta hope it backfires on them like the cahiers de doleances. Vive la revolution.

  3. Re:My encryption key is... on US Judge Rules Defendant Can Be Forced To Decrypt Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    You mean srm -rf /

    And between journalled filesystems and NAND based storage, it probably still won't erase your data.

  4. Popcorn time on Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace To Google: Don't Be Evil · · Score: 0

    I think it's hilarious that Google are cannibalizing their core competency, in a misguided attempt to "compete" with facebook.
    The results page is even starting to look like a facebook "wall" page.

  5. Noscript on Google Updates Algorithm To Punish Websites With Excessive Ads · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Except those ads will have the same Achilles heel of all ads; they're served from a relatively small number of large companies, and so can be taken out with noscript.

    If a site served an ad from their own domain, it would waltz straight though my defences, but I can sleep soundly knowing that will never happen.

  6. Speaking of ducks... on Google Updates Algorithm To Punish Websites With Excessive Ads · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've developed a habit of using duckduckgo for most routine searches.

    I find the thumbnails of neckbeards in Google to be extremely irritating, while duckduckgo shows favicons which can occasionally be useful visual clues.

  7. Manage blocked sites on Google Updates Algorithm To Punish Websites With Excessive Ads · · Score: 1

    Not relevant.
    For the longest time, you've been able to block domains in google.

  8. Re:oh well fuck em on NinjaVideo.net Founder Gets 14 Months · · Score: 1

    So ... you liked piracy before it was cool?

  9. Self-destruct on Air Force Says Iran Didn't Down Drone · · Score: 2

    At least your post had a self-destruct. Now I can't understand it at all.

  10. Re:Wat on Desura Linux Game Client Goes Open Source · · Score: 4, Funny

    Portal (2007) is retro gaming at its finest.

  11. Reading comprehenion? on Dreamhost FTP/Shell Password Database Breached · · Score: 1

    Nobody implied that you shouldn't encrypt your private key with a strong passphrase.

    This setup is absolutely perfect for laptops, because it's two-factor authentication. The thief will need both the key from the laptop and the passphrase.

  12. I'll see your SFTP and raise you... on Dreamhost FTP/Shell Password Database Breached · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'll see your SFTP and raise you disabling password authentication entirely, and using SSH public key authentication only.

    If your SSH server is visible over the Internet, you should use public key authentication instead of passwords if at all possible. If you don't think it's important, try logging all of the malicious login attempts you get for the next week.

  13. No. Don't go back to the drawing board on SOPA Goes Back To the Drawing Board, PIPA Postponed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Round up all the supporters into camps. Exterminate them, remove the skulls, and bury the other bits in a mass grave.
    On top, build a 100 meter statue of Wikipe-tan dancing on the crushed skulls. Generations from more enlightened times can look back on the the pivotal moment, where internet freedom almost got fucked.

    It's the only way to be sure.

  14. Stupid analogy on June 6 Is World IPv6 Day 2012: This Time For Keeps · · Score: 2

    Comparing a drink made from a trade-secret formula, to all that creative commons content.
    If Wikipedia goes down, your look for a mirror.

  15. Yes! on June 6 Is World IPv6 Day 2012: This Time For Keeps · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've been waiting a long time for this.

  16. Genesis on Multicellular Life Evolves In Months, In a Lab · · Score: 5, Funny

    God still holds the copyright for the original genesis event. It should have entered the public domain, but the copyright just keeps getting extended, and extended for billions of years. God keeps raking in the royalties and has no incentive to create new works, which is why you haven't heard anything from him lately.

  17. The workaround is simple. on A Copyright Nightmare · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Create a parody under fair use, with the original audio track, and Martin Luther King flying though space emitting a rainbow.

  18. Re:Okay this may get me modded down to infinity, b on Tackling Open Source's Gender Issues · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Ok so you were going for the oh so funny 'all women are gold diggers' stereotype.

    I'm not sure where you go to meet women, but you're definitely doing it wrong. My first girlfriend, although highly motivated by money, wanted to make her own. That is to say she was career oriented. My fiance is an academic/bibliophile type, and is one of the least materialistic people I know. It's a very attractive quality.

    Can we lay off the stereotypes? And if your post reflects your actual life experience then I feel sorry for you.

  19. Re:Google does the same on Facebook To Share Private Data With Politico · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was hating facebook before it was cool to hate myspace.

  20. Smart idiot box on Ubuntu TV: Coming Soon To a Living Room Near You (Video) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Beware anything the marketing department label as smart.

    Only general purpose computers are "smart". Everything else is a gadget or toy.

  21. twitterers on Sweden Experiments With Public Twitter Takeover · · Score: 2

    twitterers used twice in a sentence. Dispatching drones.

  22. Just out of curiosity on PC-BSD 9.0 Release · · Score: 1

    When will the year of the BSD desktop be?

  23. Welcome to the web on The Pirate Bay To Stop Serving Torrent Files · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Look before you leap. Hover before you click.

  24. Correct headline on US Navy Developing App-Summoned Robotic Helicopter · · Score: 4, Insightful

    US Navy developing remote controlled robotic helicopter.

    Let's not start pretending that an "app" is a real thing, distinct from technologies which already existed.

  25. Harddrive holocaust on Do Companies Punish Workers Who Take Vacations? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Tell me about it.
    The harddrive holocaust last year threw us into a great data-storage depression; Can't even get a 1TB drive for under $100.
