  1. Somewhat related on Photographers Face Ejection Over Lenses · · Score: 1

    I used to work in a grocery store in the midwest, and a Spanish teacher was taking picture of produce and dairy and such to use them as teaching aids.
    The store manager promptly escorted her off the premises cause he assumed she was going around to all the grocery stores taking pictures and comparing prices or something.

  2. Re:Colbert on Measuring the "Colbert Bump" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, because celebrities-turned-politicians have such a great track record

  3. Re:malware + phishing = on New SQL Injection Attack Fuses Malware, Phishing · · Score: 1

    'phishware' must've been too obvious

  4. Re:Why don't you elect Bush for a third term? on Nearly 50,000 IT Jobs Lost In Past Year · · Score: -1, Troll

    "Why don't you elect Bush for a third term?" Dont' worry, there will probably be some sort of disaster before the election, and Bush won't need to be elected, he'll declare he needs to stay president for the safety of all Americans.

  5. Re:You post this to Slashdot? on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's definitely not slavery (hell, the guy in the article worked for Apple for 12 years under such horrible conditions?)

    But it's still not nice of Apple

  6. Obligatory Simpsons reference on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 3, Funny
  7. Life! Don't talk to me about life. on Viruses Infected By Viruses · · Score: 1

    The more we learn, the more subjective the definition of life is (to me at least). It's like defining what is art, or if a physical activity is a sport or not. There may be some basic guidelines, but it's still a blurry boundary. It's just a label.

  8. Transcript on Lessig Predicts Cyber 9/11 Event, Restrictive Laws · · Score: 1

    is there a transcript of the conversation available?

  9. Re:Carbon sequestration on Hot Water, Hot Earth · · Score: 1

    nevermind. i'm not a chemist. CO2 has no hydrogen.

  10. Carbon sequestration on Hot Water, Hot Earth · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Here geologists blame buried hydrocarbons burning as they get access to air through cracks in the ground.

    Does carbon sequestration still sound like a great idea?

  11. Re:It's good to be king... on USAF Violates DMCA, Escapes Unscathed · · Score: 1

    True, this sovereignty has been around awhile. Imagine if everyone were allowed to sue the government for money left and right. The money would essentially come from taxpayers' pockets.

    That makes me a sad panda.

  12. Monitors on Diablo III Designer Defends New Look and Feel · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seems to me that the critics/photoshopppers just want a game that looks like it's constantly nighttime.

    If they want a dark, difficult to see game, they can just adjust their monitor (brightness, saturation, etc). Let the rest of us see what we're doing.

  13. Re:Hypocricy on The War Against Virtual Beer Pong · · Score: 1

    I read somewhere that the reason for the age of 21 is that the average human brain isn't fully developed until 21 [citation needed]

  14. Re:Good! on In-flight Cell Ban Advances In Congress · · Score: 1

    And if your really too important to be disconnected that long, you one need a reality check, and two you should send someone "less important". God knows the world can't go on without you if that plane were to crash!

    Hate to quote a john Travolta movie, but "If you're important enough, people will wait."

  15. Re:sensor networks researched at lots of places on New Wireless Technology Goes Where GPS Can't · · Score: 1

    i concur, the last project i did in college at Ohio State University was about preventing a man in the middle attack in a wireless sensor network.

  16. Re:Communicate in remote areas ... on New Wireless Technology Goes Where GPS Can't · · Score: 1

    How is this idea novel, isn't a tad bit obvious?

    it is obvious, and it isn't novel. the idea has been around for awhile. they're called wireless sensor networks i believe. nothing to see here move along

  17. Re:It's obvious, isn't it? on Air Force Looks To Laser-Proof Its Weapons · · Score: 1

    A giant Jiffy-Pop might work as well.

  18. wake up call on Canada Comet Lengthened the Ice Age · · Score: 1

    perhaps the people that think human byproducts have the biggest impact on the climate will wake up after more reports like this. That Earth isn't a closed system, that there are huge fucking things flying around this tiny blue marble that effect our climate much more than humans making some unpleasant gases.

  19. Re:Fences, Gates and Guards.... on Google Says Complete Privacy Does Not Exist · · Score: 3, Funny

    Funny thing is, if they had just kept quiet this would be a non issue. How many people would be going onto google maps and looking at their specific spot on the planet. Now that they have raised a stink, people from all around the globe will consider visiting the famous "privacy" home. Their actions are like someone jumping up and down saying "Don't look at me, don;t look at me".

    There's a name for this 'effect', but it escapes me at the moment....

  20. Re:Take note on DNS Attack Writer a Victim of His Own Creation · · Score: 5, Funny

    yeah, it's kinda like a red light when you're already late.

    fuck Mr Coffee, i want Mr Fusion!!!

  22. fallacy? on Your Computer and Cell Phone Are Lying To You · · Score: 1

    You can't trust much of what you read on the internet, especially when it says computers lie

  23. Re:Keep fighting, but be realistic on Video Game Actors Say They Don't Get Their Due · · Score: 1

    This guy need to learm the business if he's going to progress any further. Exactly, had this guy not heard to "Grand Theft Auto" before? And if not, it's still up to him to do research on the sales of the past three games of the franchise, which didn't exactly bomb.
  24. Re:Keep fighting, but be realistic on Video Game Actors Say They Don't Get Their Due · · Score: 1

    Then perhaps he shouldn't have quit his day job at Applebee's.
    But seriously, according to his bio, he's not just a voice actor, but has also starred in numerous tv shows, and is an "accomplished" singer and musician. He shouldn't be hurting for money, unless he's an idiot and lives outside his means, which wouldn't surprise me.

  25. Re:no funding? on Congress Slashes Funding for Peaceful Conflict Resolution Game · · Score: 1

    funnier yet, is where this cut funding is likely to end up, "Defense"
