  1. Re:Perhaps. on One Tip Enough To Put Name On Terrorist Watch List · · Score: 1

    You error is in mistaking the TSA for an actual competent security agency. They are security theater.

  2. Re:SO fucking stupid. on Scotland Yard Has Been After Anonymous For Months · · Score: 1

    How this all plays out will prove interesting. If the cops manage to charge anyone based on "fomenting unrest" it will look like charging people for Thought Crimes.

  3. Re:UK Law vs US Law on British Hacker Loses Review of Asperger's Defense · · Score: 1

    Lets just cutto the chase, shall we? You claim: " Being stupid is not a defense in a court of law. Although he has demonstrated a certain lack of mental capacity by even trying this stunt, he's still not dumb enough to be considered retarded, although *that* should have been his diminished capacity defense." I disagree. For you to understand *why* he left the equivalent of virtual post-it note saying he'd looked around a bit, you'd have to understand how Aspergers patients interact with normal people. I've dealt with several on usenet and they are absolutely klewless rgarding whats proper behavior and what isn't. This guys laywer is claiming his clients Apergers Syndrome is to blame. I agree. Why? Because he was probably hacker #3833923 to break in to NASA. He just happened to be dumb and honest enough to give NASA's dopey sysadmins a friendly heads up. So of course, honesty is rewarded with the hose. Brilliant.

  4. Re:Glad I left that shithole on Arizona Considers Selling Capitol Buildings · · Score: 1

    Where did I say that *arizona* had toll roads? Of course you want toll roads. You probably want a flat tax rate as well.

  5. Glad I left that shithole on Arizona Considers Selling Capitol Buildings · · Score: 1

    Too bad it didnt get better after I left Arizona 10 years ago. Now the repug-led legislature is trying to privatize the buildings and funnel yet more money into the pockets of the people who elected them. This is the same idiotic type of idea as making all the interstate into Toll roads.

  8. Re:Ouch on South Carolina Seeking To Outlaw Profanity · · Score: 1

    I find it odd that a black democrat would sponsor such rediculous legislation. What could be done is a form letter signed by slashdotters to his email suggesting this is a really dumb bit of legislation. Here's his contact info: http://www.scstatehouse.gov/members/bios/0606818109.html

  9. Re:I've got a question? on Change.gov Uses Google Moderator System · · Score: 1

    Ive got a question too. Why the hell does the page not display properly in either browser I'm trying to look at it with? Oh....lemme guess...they set the bar so high that poor people can't see the damn thing unless they have the latest software and hardware. So much for obama caring about the poor folks. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?

  10. Re:Give me their names. on Maryland Court Weighs Internet Anonymity · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There are websites designed just for complaining about services or conditions one encounters as a part of doing buisness. An obvious and well-used one is www.complaints.com
    Maybe its the bit about it not being anonymous that keeps it out of litigaton?

  11. Wasting money on eyes on Scientists Grow New Eyes (In Tadpoles) · · Score: 1

    Instead of wasting money on growing eyes they should be figuring out how to make a
    pesticide-resistant frog that can survive the f&^#ing chemical soup we humans subject them to.

  12. Re:There is hope on Recovering Moldy Electronics? · · Score: 1

    I actually used to work in the restoration industry and we did flood damage jobs all the time. Get a professonal company to do it *for* you. Or rent the dehumidifiers and buy the quatenary mildicides and fog the equipment *before* you set everything up in a room with the dehumidifiers to extract the moisture from your stuff.

  13. Re:Conservative tend to scare easier on Researchers Claim To Be Able To Determine Political Leaning By How Messy You Are · · Score: 1

    Heres the exception to the rule: I'm left of Denis Kucinich and I have panic disorder. I bet the evidence is anecdotal, at best connecting the "undesirable" personality traits to conservatives. Quite simply, they are just less intelligent.

  14. Re:useless on Tool To Allow ISPs To Scan Every File You Transmit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well I'll be damned! THATS why every time I try to listen to shoutcast my ISP (centurytel)

    Working or playing on the computer definitely has an effect on blood sugar levels. After a recent diagnosis of typeII diabetes I found that playing a FPS will bring my blood glucose levels down more than a bike ride of the same duration.

  18. Re:Not sure how I feel about this... on Bloatware Removal Threatens PC Industry Profits · · Score: 1

    It annoys you because you didnt set up their computers correctly. You make the desktop the google home page and teach them how to use google to find out wtf something is. They spend more time browsing and less time bugging you.

    Yep. That was the deal killer for me. Obama is a corporate shill and his running mate is in the pocket of the credit card companies.

    No, some of us know that in order to get the gubamint to *listen* you must join a PAC (political action committie). So thats why I joined the ACLU two years ago. Its not like the abuses of the Bush administration have blind-sided anyone who has been paying attention. So you have a choice: piss and moan (as per usual) or join a lobby that will *fight* for your civil liberties.

  21. Re:FISA isn't that important on Telecom Amnesty Opponents Back New Amendment · · Score: 1

    The real reason Chimpy wants immunity to the telcos is to cover his own ass. If we the people can prosecute the telcos for an illegal act its tacit admisson that Chimpys spying was illegal.

  22. Re:Odin84gk on Dial-Up Users "Don't Want Broadband" · · Score: 1

    The reason that we dont upgrade to a highspeed connection is cost.
    There isnt much competiton here and the prices are way too high.
    So the concept that "fuckem, all POTS users are teh n0n h4X0rs"
    is a false presumtion. Now, who wants to give me free DSL?

  23. Re:Censorship is bad, OK? on Al-Qaeda's Growing Online Offensive · · Score: 2, Informative

    Its not an argument against "free press". If you actually RTFA you'd see it was an article detailing the extent to which Al-quaida has evolved tecnologically speaking. The content of the web forums etc is unquestionably "kill all infidels". In case you didnt know, you're an infidel.
