  1. Will the NSA provide me with free storage, please? on Researchers: PATRIOT Act Can 'Obtain' Data In Europe · · Score: 1

    The NSA is welcome to my emails, if I can have free email :)
    But maybe they are subsidising gmail and hotmail anyway ...

  2. A nice link is cultpens: on Ask Slashdot: The Search For the Ultimate Engineer's Pen · · Score: 4, Informative

    already have 200+ nuclear weapon

    Really? Then you should have no problem showing a pic of just 1

    You can look here:

    Just make sure these pictures don't get to Iran or any other nasty country like, ummm Pakistan. Oh, wait we looked away while they were making theirs, right? And we also looked away while Ben Laden was fighting those nasty russkies. And we all know what came next :(

  5. first worm! on Why Worms In the Toilet Might Be a Good Idea · · Score: 4, Funny

    first worm!

  6. Suicide bombers are BAD, kamikaze UAVs are GOOD. on War By Remote Control, With Military Robots Set To Self Destruct · · Score: 2

    Am I the only one who has the impression that the moral high ground is turning into the Mariana trench?

  7. Surface is the iPad you can work on. Video. on Microsoft Announces 'Surface' Tablet · · Score: 1

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/presskits/windows/videogallery2b.aspx

    I plan to get one of these to use all day with OneNote.

    Microsoft is blending the device for viewing and for creating.

  8. License Royalties ? on RMS Robbed of Passport and Other Belongings In Argentina · · Score: 1

    Maybe Linus can send him some royalties for the GPL, so he can pay for a new passport and a ticket back home?

  9. I trademarked "first" first. on Facebook Asserts Trademark On "Book" In New User Agreement · · Score: 0

    I trademarked "first" first.

  10. Re:Well, they're a good indicator of intelligence on Are Brain Teasers Good Hiring Criteria? · · Score: 2

    Last time I looked, average programmer productivity was rated at -counterintuitively- 10 lines per day, so 300 lines of PRODUCTION GRADE C code would be a very good contribution for 3 months. And in fact cut and paste of well- tested code that gets the job done would definitely be a BETTER thing than the self-invented wheel your average 14 year old kid would write.

  11. M$ fired the guys who had already designed one on Microsoft: No Tablets Until It's Distinctive · · Score: 4, Insightful
  12. Re:Can You Still Make a "Penis Panini" With Them on New Apple MacBook Pro Reviewed · · Score: 1

    My new 17 runs totally cool. The previous Core i7 had a rep for heat.

  13. Re:Haven't you heard? on Steve Jobs Health Worries Escalate · · Score: 1

    Paul Allen had Hodgkins Lymphoma.

  14. Why store rather than resell? on Sandia Helps Secure Kazakh Nuclear Material · · Score: 2

    Why would the cash-strapped republic of K. not resell the material for reprocessing to some country that has running reactors, rather than store it?

  15. Re:Its really on New Mega-Leak Reveals Middle East Peace Process · · Score: 4, Informative

    A point of information: The leak makes the PA look bad. The PA comes out as lying to their citizens

    Israel comes out of it pretty much as they were before, as simply not interested in negotiation that do not give them all they want.

    AlJazeera has demolished the PA with this article. *I* am truly shocked.

  16. giants on Chinese Intellectual Property Acquisition Tactics Exposed · · Score: 2

    Newton in a letter to Robert Hooke in February 1676:

    If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

  17. Re:Of course... on Google Warns Irish Government Against Tax Increase · · Score: 1

    The low-tax Google, Microsoft etc are just small shell companies with a few (2 or 3) employees.

  18. Consumers like China, Americans don't :) on NASA Head Ignores Congress, Eyes Cooperation With China · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most consumer goods come from China these days, and we're told China's interests rarely intersect with the US?

    Isn't this attitude a bit ... schizoid?

    Or maybe, just dumb?

    Yes, Marianne, hackers innnovate. any other news?

  21. Return-oriented device Pwning? on Voting Machine Attacks Proven To Be Practical · · Score: 2, Informative

    Looks like return-oriented programming is a nice way to own various pieces of locked down hardware, eg. region-coded DVD drives, carrier-locked phones etc.

  22. Is NY also selling the Brooklyn Bridge ? on Arizona Considers Selling Capitol Buildings · · Score: 1

    :)

  23. Re:Too dumb to realize new school is better on Which Language Approach For a Computer Science Degree? · · Score: 1

    Doubtless some truth in what you say.

    But the fact that you have a cogent comment about my excessive generalization doesn't make the OP any smarter. I have a feeling *he* won't be teaching us oldies much of anything.

  24. Too dumb to realize new school is better on Which Language Approach For a Computer Science Degree? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    New school teaches every language + programmming concepts and our poster complains - maybe the new gen kids are unteachable.

  25. Wait, you mean computers weren't invented at MIT? on Bletchley Park WWII Staff Finally Recognized · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yet another case where a technology was invented in the UK, and due to secrecy the recognition and profit went elsewhere. RSA is another example.
