  1. Re:Simple on Is Cloud Computing the Hotel California of Tech? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ya'll down with OPS.

  2. Re:Equivalent of the TSA... on DHS Wants To Hire 1,000 Cybersecurity Experts · · Score: 1

    Conscription would do the trick. It ain't just showing appreciation to veterans, but also making sure new blood volunteers.

  3. Re:The U.S. government is EXTREMELY corrupt. on DHS Wants To Hire 1,000 Cybersecurity Experts · · Score: 1

    While that is certainly true, its not evidence of political corruption. Its not the politicians that keep those people from having food, its the people who elect the politicians and don't want their tax money paying for expensive but healthy foods.

  4. Re:One area: Prison population. on DHS Wants To Hire 1,000 Cybersecurity Experts · · Score: 1

    Prison population has no correlation with corruption. The laws that put those folks in jail were brought about through transparent and democratic system. I certainly don't agree with a good deal of them, and I damn sure think our system has problems, but prison population has nothing to do with it.

  6. Re:Apple's activity is criminal here, Palm's is le on Palm Ignores USB-IF Warning, Restores iTunes Sync · · Score: 1

    I'm curious about the XML format. If the XML format has changes made to it, will the itunes program change? If not, I wouldn't call this syncing.

  7. Re:Oh lawd on Interview With Jeremy Howard of FastMail.fm · · Score: 4, Funny

    Of course we didn't read the article, what do you take us for!

  8. Re:I'm involved in something closely related. on Dissolvable Glass For Bone Repair · · Score: 1

    Actually with doctors its the arrogance that screws things up. They think they're above marketing!

  9. Re:Pay For Full Version on Fake Antivirus Overwhelming Scanners · · Score: 1

    Did you write all that as a joke?

  10. Re:Seems fair to me. on New Bill Proposes Open Source Requirement for Publicly Funded Books · · Score: 1

    We'd call him an idiot.

  11. Zune Tattoo Guy Is Hosting One on Mainstream Press "Cringes" At Win7 Launch Parties · · Score: 1

    I went to high school with the guy who got the Zune tattoo and supposedly he is hosting one, so obviously not everyone hates them. Man that guy is dumb.

  12. Re:no, the Executive directed security on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 1

    The President didn't tell them to do it, but he didn't tell them not to do it either. I'm not arguing that its his job to tell them not to do it, or that he should have, however.

  13. Re:Freedom of assembly on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 1

    Around 2kHz, give or take.

  14. Re:Kids will be bored on One Telescope Per Child · · Score: 1

    Did your dad show you how to use it and help develop your interest in it, or did he just throw it at you and say go to town?

  15. Re:Apparently.... on Forkable Linux Radio Ad Now On the Air In Texas · · Score: 1

    MMORPG Developers.

  16. Re:doesnt matter to me on Cursive Writing Is a Fading Skill — Does It Matter? · · Score: 1

    Luddites like to call people philistines.

  17. Re:Acknowledging the /. audience on Security / Privacy Advice? · · Score: 1

    I just don't believe in watertight aliases. You can work towards one, but you should never delude yourself that you have one. There might always be a chink in that armor you don't see.

  18. Re:So essentially they want people to pay on ASCAP Says Apple Should Pay For 30-sec. Song Samples · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the record companies, who I imagine apple made their contracts with, would have any sway over the artist's stance on this one. I'm thinking not.

  19. Re:But still... on Panasonic's New LED Bulbs Shine For 19 Years · · Score: 1

    No, because the incandescent isn't free heat. You're paying for the heat the incandescent releases. If the incandescent wasn't making the heat your furnace would be. If you ignore any inefficiencies, it is zero sum. No net savings.

  20. Re:Poor overall efficiency on Panasonic's New LED Bulbs Shine For 19 Years · · Score: 1

    Stupid to get pedantic at this point, as someone would undoubtedly bring up economies of scale, specifically transport costs of the coal in terms of energy.

  21. Re:But still... on Panasonic's New LED Bulbs Shine For 19 Years · · Score: 1

    For those pedantic, I know this isn't as easy as "twice the rate" and "lose nothing." You get the picture.

  22. Re:But still... on Panasonic's New LED Bulbs Shine For 19 Years · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You save nothing on your heating bill. You just don't LOSE money from the heat provided. There's a big goddamn difference in those two concepts. Generally speaking, you'd spend the same amount of electricity if you are heating your home regardless if you used LED or Incandescent. If the temperature is comfortable outside and inside, you are wasting money heating your home by a small amount. If you are using AC, you are wasting money at TWICE the rate.

    I object to your face. I think it's ugly and smells like a butt.

    Thanks for the heads up, Quothz.

  25. Re:Good Lord! on Japan's Cell Phones May Get DRM, At Music Industry Behest · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That or Slashdot articles are an echo chamber of similarly minded individuals and people read, comment, and moderate articles that inflame them.
