  1. uh huh on NSA: We Mulled Ending Phone Program Before Edward Snowden Leaks · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nice to know that the value of american citizen's privacy never factored in, just the cost to the federal budget.

  2. Re:How fucking tasteless on Feds Attempt To Censor Parts of a New Book About the Hydrogen Bomb · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately the truth doesn't have to be politically correct.

  3. Re:How fucking tasteless on Feds Attempt To Censor Parts of a New Book About the Hydrogen Bomb · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not very fucked at all actually.

    Women and children are valued more because they are worth more.

    Women can have kids in the future and may even be pregnant now, and children can grow up into adults.

  4. Re:Too Big to Nail on FTC's Internal Memo On Google Teaches Companies a Terrible Lesson · · Score: 1

    Maybe that's because we can't even issue money without borrowing it from the fed.

  5. Re:Slippery slope on OEMs Allowed To Lock Secure Boot In Windows 10 Computers · · Score: 1

    Swapping out an engine like that could void the warranty or invalidate vehicle safety standards. This in turn might cause trouble with the DMV keeping it registered,.

  6. re: black market on Evolution Market's Admins Are Gone, Along With $12M In Bitcoin · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "an online black market that sells everything contraband — from marijuana, heroin and ecstasy to stolen identities and malicious hacking services"

    And people are actually surprised that they poofed with 12 million in bitcoins? Seriously?

  7. nb on Why There Is No Such Thing as 'Proper English' · · Score: 1

    Proper english is whatever the people in charge say it is.

  8. Re:Why? on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    He's using a computer programming analogy, give him his due.

  9. Re:Here's my idea on Elon Musk Addresses New Jersey's Tesla Store Ban · · Score: 1

    A car is whatever the judge damn well says it is.

  10. Re:fascist apologist on Cameras On Cops: Coming To a Town Near You · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that abuse of police power is a federal offense.

  11. Re:Broken camera on Cameras On Cops: Coming To a Town Near You · · Score: 1

    Using a weapon to assault a police officer is still a felony in most places.

  12. Re:WHAT A RETARDED WASTE OF BREATH on Happy Pi Day · · Score: 1

    That's SUDO GO BAKE ME A PIE

  13. Re:BTC != Napster on The Future of Cryptocurrencies · · Score: 1

    Just like sovereign governments are using THEIR claws to rip apart bitcoin?

  14. Re:I smell a dupe on CIA Accused: Sen. Feinstein Sees Torture Probe Meddling · · Score: 3, Informative

    This isn't a dupe, it's an escalation of the same story that happened after the original was already posted.

    Rather like how they broke news of TEPCO's reactors as a separate story from the tsunami.

  15. Re:As Frontalot says on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Trust Bitcoin? · · Score: 1

    Right, the same law that gets exchanges shut down and their assets seized for money laundering.

  16. I'm surprised mostly becuase it didn't get seized by the TSA before he got there.

  17. convenient on Court Denies NSA Request To Hold Phone Records Beyond 5 Years · · Score: 1

    If the government destroyed it preemptively they'd be guilty of spoliation.

    This way instead they get immunity to discovery and subpoenas.

  18. Serious question on Ukraine May Have To Rearm With Nuclear Weapons Says Ukrainian MP · · Score: 1

    Who gets to decide if the new government in Kiev is legitimate or not?

  19. Re:Or is it just theft? on Woman Attacked In San Francisco Bar For Wearing Google Glass · · Score: 1

    They took her glasses hostage to take her purse. It's a trick as old as time, getting something by threatening something else that's more valuable.

  20. Re:"...what will it take?" on Woman Attacked In San Francisco Bar For Wearing Google Glass · · Score: 1

    Casinos can eject whoever they darn please and they don't need a reason for it.

    And they don't have to be fair about it.

  21. robbery on Woman Attacked In San Francisco Bar For Wearing Google Glass · · Score: 1

    The person who snatched them off her face and ran is guilty of robbery and should be prosecuted for it.

    This lady may have stirred up trouble but she is still a victim and no amount of provocation gives her attackers any excuse.

  22. What I don't like on BPAS Appeals £200,000 Fine Over Hacked Website · · Score: 1

    Is that they're fining a non profit organization supported by donations.

    If this was a business I would see more sense, but somehow fining charities doesn't sit well with me.

  23. Re:Alternative title: "Submarine patent issued" on Inventor Has Waited 43 Years For Patent Approval · · Score: 1

    It's only a submarine patent because the PTO stalled.

  24. Re:That's one heck of a very **BROAD** Patent ! on Inventor Has Waited 43 Years For Patent Approval · · Score: 1

    In the January lawsuit, Hyatt alleges he was told by a PTO unit director that the agency's unofficial policy in dealing with him is to give him the runaround to avoid making a decision he could appeal. He said that may be why the patent office hasn't granted him a patent since 1997.

    TFA says different.

  25. Re:Dick? Maybe, but not your classical patent trol on Inventor Has Waited 43 Years For Patent Approval · · Score: 1

    Which is interesting in light of the 11th amendment
