  1. Re:And still no death penalty for rape on Anonymous Helps Find Evidence In Gang Rape Case · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'd have thought it's the other way around.

    If you are murdered, that's it. After rape, you have to live with not only the physical AND mental trauma, but also the society's finger pointing that says "yeah she is victim but she probably deserved it."

    No one deserves it.

    And what would she do if she got pregnant by the rapists? She will need to go through another nightmare deciding what to do.

    I honestly think death sentence is too lenient in this case. Burning isn't good either; it will end too soon.

  2. Re:Legit music on Ask Slashdot: Which International Online Music Stores Are Legit? · · Score: 1

    Thanks!

    Yeah... payment system for Korea web portal from outside...is such a pain. Still not a clue. I can get those gift cards but even those need an account, which requires some sort of ID.

  3. Re:Legit music on Ask Slashdot: Which International Online Music Stores Are Legit? · · Score: 1

    Here in Korea, you get 40 downloads for about $5 a month.
    including a fair bit of western music, I think they've got 2.5-3 million tracks on their service.

    So, what do you use now?

  4. Re:Must past this test on California Legalizes Self Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Yes, please. Pics or it didn't happen.

    On a more serious note, I wonder if self driving cars can also communicate with each other. Of course, this could go either way: speed up to becoming a police nation, or it can alert cars ahead of an incoming dangerous driver.

  5. Re:Kobo on Barnes & Noble's Nook HD Tablets Face iPad, Kindle Fire HD · · Score: 2
  6. Re:From TFA on Researchers ID Skype, BitTorrent Users · · Score: 1

    But what other apps, besides Skype, can be used for this type of tracking? I don't use BT or Skype but I'd like to know if there are any ways to prevent this, besides not using XXX or YYY. (at least at the same time.)

  7. Re:Everyone knows the answer ... on The Mystery of Mars' Bizarre Plumbing · · Score: 1

    No, more like in 'Dune.'

  8. Re:speed is an issue on Looking For E-Ink Applications Beyond Ebook Readers · · Score: 2

    You are faced with the Dastardly Delay of the Doom. In your pocket, you have a bookmark, a marker, and Everyday Man’s Flame Thrower .
    If you decide to bookmark the page and come back later, turn to page 3.
    If you decide to cross out all the words with the marker, turn to page 4.
    If you decide to use Everyday Man’s Flame Thrower, turn to page 2353.
    If you decide to do nothing and carry on, turn to page 1 and try the route left.



    By the way, I also recall playing 'The Manhole' on a mac... and with little or no animation, I can imagine playing such games on touch based devices.

  9. Re:Scary Future on Vint Cerf: Media Tagging Can Be Disconcerting · · Score: 1

    I think the app will do that for you, via facial recognition feature and etc. All you have to do will be to take a picture on a phone.

  10. Re:Bullshit on US Students Suffering From Internet Addiction · · Score: 1

    Have you tried Reload on Firefox? (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/115)

    No, I'm not an enabler. Honest.

  11. Re:Seriously, just uninstall Reader already. on New Method Could Hide Malware In PDFs, No Further Exploits Needed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With the google doc extension, don't you need to be online? Also, that's assuming you don't mind google caching on the pdf you're opening, right?

  12. Re:Census Info Ultimately Becomes Public on Will Your Answers To the Census Stay Private? · · Score: 1

    You mean you are not an illegal immigrant or a terrorist...yet. (under the government's eyes) Who knows, perhaps in years to come, anyone with id *moose* will be labeled as PETA member and be subject to terrorist acts.

    I kid, but the point here is that just because you got nothing to hide... is a bad argument.

  13. Re:Let me take a pro-expensive wine position on Carbon-14 Dating Reveals 5% of Vintage Wines May Be Frauds · · Score: 1

    I need a car analogy please.

  14. Re:How often do such quakes occur? on Chilean Earthquake Shortened Earth's Day · · Score: 1

    Yay, next year.... Wait. We can predict where another earthquake will hit next year?

    I got some packing to do.

  15. Re:Ten years from now - "WoW killed Blizzard" on Failed Games That Damaged Or Killed Their Companies · · Score: 1

    And several thousand Koreans eagerly waiting for Star Crack will cry foul....

    Seriously though, while they got Star Craft to pick up the momentum, I hope to see something new from them as well.

  16. Re:Lets see on Why Do So Many Terrorists Have Engineering Degrees · · Score: 1

    Where does this '72 virgins' phrase come from anyway?

    And if the engineer is a virgin or awkward around women, wouldn't 72 'experienced' women be better than virgins?

  17. Re:How can you be convicted of breaking a secret l on Secret Copyright Treaty Leaks. It's Bad. Very Bad. · · Score: 1

    How can you be convicted of breaking a secret law? With incompetence.

    Think of all the trouble people faced at the air port.

    And believe me, just putting you in the system (lawsuit, court dates, etc) would have achieved what **AA wants.

  18. Re:And tons of carbon enter the air on Cracking PGP In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    What if the content is hidden....say like 7zip encryption where file content can be hidden. Would it work then?

  19. Re:Cheating on Blizzcon 2009 Wrap-Up · · Score: 1

    And yet...I think that allowed some extensive fan base in Asia, which really brought Star Craft to whole new ball game. Not saying 'cheating' is good or what not but I think it would be great to indicate the person cheated, but not kick them off.

    With a label added, they might think twice. (of course, the label should disappear after a while if the person stops cheating)

  20. Re:Transformers did it first on $10M For Unmanned Aircraft That Can Perch Like a Bird · · Score: 1

    Awesome! Homeland security only need to go to eBay every now and then and check who is bidding for the player. Bidder 1: I won the bid! Bidder 2: Hi, could I buy your cassette player for double the price? Bidder 1: Oh okay. Bidder 2: Make sure to put the return address properly. We don't want this antique going amiss.

  21. So what do you tell these parents? on Making a Child Locating System · · Score: 1

    It's interesting because I was talking to my wife about this concept. For all of you telling the OP that s/he is over-reacting, what do you tell parents of Tori Stafford [google.ca]?

  22. Re:I welcome the competition! on id Releases Open Source Wolfenstein 3D for the iPhone · · Score: 1

    You do need the 'official' machine to release it to the Apple Store, legally. I believe the OS actually makes you click on "this OS is installed on the Apple HardWare" or some such.

  23. It's like selling a rock. on Do Video Games Cost Too Much? · · Score: 1

    If you price is at $99, some people will buy it. But if it's free, most won't even look at it. Unless the whole industry gets behind it, because people are so used to games around $40 and up (and $60 and up for heavy hitters), if you release a game at a 'bargain' price, people will first think, "what's wrong with this game?" rather than "woot! great price!" And expecting such reaction, why would they be willing to lower the cost? But it also means we don't need whole industry to back this 'lower the game price' campaign. We need one good title. A heavy hitter like GTA series or 'the next game' everyone is waiting for (Duke Nukem Forever?). If games like that were $30 or so, the whole industry might notice. But then, these games are produced by gigantic publishers so perhaps it'd be a catch-22. As an aside, wasn't there a band that sold it's music online for whatever-price-you-pay scheme? How did that turn out?

  24. Re:Sega and the decline of Sonic on Sega To Close Arcades, Cancel Games, Lay Off Employees · · Score: 1

    That's SO not Ristar! By the way, does Sega have N.A. studio or will this be all in Japan? And yes, I didn't RFA.

  25. Re:Does this mean ... on The Universe As Hologram · · Score: 5, Funny

    no, no... it was priceless!
