  1. Re:The people will be the ones who suffer on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 1

    It was the truth. I forgot to add Lebanese Christians and Muslims to the list, the innocents slaughtered and country ruined by Iran's Hezbollah. Exportation of evil: successful. Iran's decades of violence have killed far too many. What? You didn't know? When truth looks like snark, you should be worried about your own sanity, not everyone else's.

  2. Those who read your posts are the ones who suffer. on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 1

    You should put a "Hobbies" section on your signature. Within, list "Making straw men" and "Knocking them down". That would be right after the "Education" section, where you put "I make shit up".

    Seriously? Iran started pursuing nuclear technology in 2003 after George Bush gave his Axis of Evil speech? Seriously? Holy shit! Please, tell me who rewrites your history. I've got to use them! To think that reality says they started not long after their glorious revolution. History is such a fool.

    And North Korea started in 2003? 3 years from deciding to develop one to testing? Those North Koreans must have some seriously amazing physicists. North Korea started, at the latest, not long after the fall of the Soviet Union.

    The Mullahs always act in their own twisted sense of best interest. Obviously the best interests of Iranian citizens is not a priority, evidenced by their brutal crackdown on protestors. A twisted sense of self-interest includes annihilating millions of Jews in order to secure entry into heaven. Of course heaven can wait since the Mullahs will be snug in their deeply buried nuclear shelters, but the rest of the Iranian people can turn into shadows on the wall for all they care.

  3. Re:The people will be the ones who suffer on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 4, Informative

    Don't forget Gaza and Iraq. There are supertankers full of Palestinian and Iraqi blood on Iranian hands.

  4. And the linkbait answer is... on Boiling Down the Meaning of Life · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Go fuck yourself!

    Shit, that's three words. I'm not clicking on the fucking article. Are you?

  5. Similar with Cesar Chavez's family on A Copyright Nightmare · · Score: 2

    The family is almost unconcerned about his legacy and farm workers, focusing on their own wealth.

  6. Stallman? on The Un-Internet and War On General Purpose Computers · · Score: 1

    I never saw Stallman point out that Cory is a douche. :) I think Stallman has been somewhere on the computer-control issue for decades.

  7. Last year's news? on The Un-Internet and War On General Purpose Computers · · Score: 1

    More like last decade's.

    And Cory is still a douche for pointing out what we already knew.

  8. No shit, Sherlock. on Doctorow: the Coming War On General-Purpose Computing · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What a douche, Doctorow is. Since the first TPM chips came out, there have been attempts to take away our control of our computers. Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End, written over five years ago, had one old character who managed to keep a computer that wasn't completely rooted at the processor level. The war started awhile ago. Cory is just so myopic, he only saw the skirmishes.

  9. Other Amazon Patents... on Amazon Patents Deducing Religion From Gift Wrap · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Determining religion by presence or absence of circumcision.
    Determining gender by presence or lack of a penis.
    Determining age by birth date.
    Determining quantity by how many of an item is present.
    and my favorite...
    Determining the failure of the US patent system by filing stupid patents.

  10. It's about the prices on GoDaddy Backs SOPA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And their prices after coupons are low enough that I don't care about their ads. Does anybody else have better prices for .com or anything else for that matter? Not that I've found.

  11. Re:I'm out of ammo! on Aleph One 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Hah! I forgot that one.

  12. Re:I'm out of ammo! on Aleph One 1.0 Released · · Score: 2

    I once met Bob in real life. He worked in PR, a fate worse than death by alien.

  13. I'm out of ammo! on Aleph One 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    said Bob.

  14. In Vitro on DNA Test To Determine Kids' Sports Futures · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That'll be when the fun begins. Until then, it's just a mindfuck.

  15. Re:One Time Pads on Ask Slashdot: Post-Quantum Asymmetric Key Exchange? · · Score: 1

    I'm saying that you don't swap keys in the clear if your data is so important that it needs to be secure 20 years from now. Clear?

  16. Re:One Time Pads on Ask Slashdot: Post-Quantum Asymmetric Key Exchange? · · Score: 1

    And how is a one-time pad going to help for asymmetric key exchange?

    You just might have to go symmetric if you care that much about your data.

  17. One Time Pads on Ask Slashdot: Post-Quantum Asymmetric Key Exchange? · · Score: 0

    Last I checked, they're still secure.

    There's also security through obscurity. If they don't know the math you're doing, it can be hard for them to analyze its flaws.

  18. Character Builder on Microsoft Killing Silverlight? · · Score: 2

    Yes, and it sucks eggs. Most importantly, I can't access it from my Android phone.

  19. Re:Welcome to the world of police intimidation on Two New Fed GPS Trackers Found On SUV · · Score: 1

    The article draws conclusions that the evidence can't cash.

  20. Re:Welcome to the world of police intimidation on Two New Fed GPS Trackers Found On SUV · · Score: 2

    I've ridden in the front seat along with an officer. It's called a ride-along. It was as a curious citizen. Ask your local department if you can schedule one to learn about them and they way they operate.

  21. Re:Yee Hah! on US Defunds UNESCO After Palestine Vote · · Score: 1

    Yeah, starting shit for no reason. Ignorant much, or just here?

  22. Re:Her Defense Was Pretty Good Too on Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone · · Score: 1

    The Roman Catholic god is an asshole.

  23. Track Times! on Swedish Daycare Tracks Kids With GPS Devices · · Score: 1

    Now you can finally know who is the fastest around the playground tricycle track!

  24. "one of the most celebrated games of its time" on Deus Ex: Human Revolution Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    Choke. Sputter. Vomit.

    The original was alright, but flawed. The plot? Mediocre. Controls? Mediocre. Only the upgrade system caught people's attention. This post is an unlabeled advertisement.

  25. You are a moron, Coward. on Rare Earth Restrictions To Raise Hard Drive Cost · · Score: 1

    SSD's dramatically increase the speed of a computer during regular usage. The fastest spinner is a fraction of the speed of a low-end modern SSD. My mediocre Kingston puts all spinners to shame.

    Moron.
