  1. Re:Now is the time on WordPress.org Hacked, Plugin Repository Compromised · · Score: 1

    Who actually chants "USA! USA! USA!" in America?

    I worked with the wealthy snowbirds and the every day racism of Americans drove me back to Germany. Genuine hate towards foreigners from people who's great grand parents stole the land they live on today.

    All in the name of freedom, progress and the good old US of A, fuck that, fuck them.

    Oh my. A German chiding the people of other nations over hate. That's absolutely hilarious. I needed that laugh today.

    Wow, I would've expected better from a low 6-digit UID.

    Yeah, I don't think it works that way. Plenty of people with low UIDs are complete assholes.

    Which is why trolling is so prominent on /. They were given such great examples.

    I propose '.hascheezburger' reserved for ICANN.

  4. Loophole fail. on Online Poker Legalization Bill Coming Next Week · · Score: 1

    Once it's legal and regulated at the federal level like he's proposing, the states have no power over it unless they want to face multitudes of costly federal court battles over attempts to regulate interstate commerce.

  5. Re:Brands on Shuttleworth: Chrome Nearly Replaced FF In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    The percentages are missing context. X% slower than what baseline? What hardware was it tested on? What version of the extension? When they post answers to those questions, that post *might* mean something.

    ...is not an OS. Try again.

  7. Re:Not anti-intellectualism on Is There a New Geek Anti-Intellectualism? · · Score: 1

    Except you don't need college to have those things either. We have this marvelous thing called the internet where people of like mind and curiosity can come together and debate, discuss, swap information, help with problems, etc. Perhaps you should look into it.

    No, you don't, but I guess if soul crushing debt and the equivalent of a 30yr mortgage on your education is your thing, go for it.

    Disclaimer: the Brazilian government took away my family land since it used to be an enclave inside an Amerindian reservation.

    Land that was stolen from the natives by the Spanish and Portuguese to begin with? boohoo.

    Only 24"? For shame.

  15. Re:Not as broad as described on Facebook's Broad Patent On Digital Media Tagging · · Score: 1

    Disclaimer: Software patents are stupid.

    That said, after reading the patent excerpt, it appears as though it requires 2nd-party notification of the tagging to be covered. That limits the scope incredibly, and seems as though it would make it fairly easy to avoid.

    Until it's made illegal for privacy reasons to tag photos w/o notifying the people being identified in the tag.

    boo hoo.

  17. version justification on Chrome Feature Helps Shield Websites From DDoS Attacks · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is this another bullet point so Google can help justify the bloated version number by saying "Look! We did something no one else has done! No, we don't care that it's actually useless and that's why no one else has done it!"?

  18. Re:Then pay with your ballot on Who Killed Spotify? · · Score: 1

    It's like voting with your wallet, only the other way around.

    Walleting with your vote? I'm pretty sure selling votes is illegal in most countries.

    We call them 'campaign donations' and that makes it legal. Didn't you know?

  19. Huh. on Microsoft Continues Android Legal Assault · · Score: 1

    So we've gone from adding '...on a computer' and calling it a new idea, to adding '....on a *mobile/handheld* computer' and calling it a new idea. Sad.

    I dunno about you but, where I live, we don't have to run to the police to publish *fact and truth*. It's called journalism, get over it. It was verified fact and not an accusation, btw. RTFA.

    Are tank manufacturers unethical?

    At the point where the tanks (exploits and security holes, in this case) are used to harass and subdue opposition amongst the citizenry and the manufacturer has no issue with it, they are. The gov't answers to the people, not the other way around. When the people are angry enough to start speaking out, you don't turn your arsenal on them. Unless you wanna live in China or Libya or Bahrain or Iran....I can go on, but I shouldn't need to.
