  1. Re:It's prison time on LulzSec Suspect Arrested By UK Police · · Score: 1

    George Carlin had something to say on the subject, but I'm not going to google that

  2. Re:Copyright enforcement on Slashdot? on Court Case To Test GNU GPL · · Score: 1

    I more or less agree with everything you've said but your original comment was a bit ambiguous. I read your comment talking more to the fact that Copy Left isn't real and it is just being creative with Copy Right.

  3. Re:Copyright enforcement on Slashdot? on Court Case To Test GNU GPL · · Score: 1

    What he is getting at is Copy Left is an illusion, it doesn't actually exist. It is wholly depended on the existence of Copy Right.

  4. Re:Umm... on Brute-Force Password Cracking With GPUs · · Score: 1

    GPUs are massively parallel, and doing something straight forward as running a hash a few billion times works much better in parallel than serial.

  5. Re:The universal response to this on Microsoft Releases Kinect SDK For Windows · · Score: 1

    It's Kinect it can easily tell when the person puts their hands in the air to signal that they've been hit.

  6. Re:Police have no expectation of privacy on Court Case To Test Legality of Recording the Police With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Context, it is very easy to lie with photographs. Remember that picture where General Nguyn Ngc Loan executed some guy in Vietnam with his handgun? Did you know that the photographer apologized for taking that picture?

  7. Re:It is rare stupid German idea on Could the US Phase Out Nuclear Power? · · Score: 2

    I wouldn't say that the Germans are smarter than anyone else, they just appreciate damn fine engineering.

  8. Re:Fuck yeah on What Cities Want Your IT Skills? · · Score: 1

    Is this a troll or do I just have a substantially different outlook on life?

  9. Re:Security Clearances on NSA Trial Evidence 'Riddled With Boxes and Arrows' · · Score: 1

    Really, I would assume it would be the other way around. People who have TS clearance have to keep secrets as part their jobs, why would they be more willing to acquit someone who allegedly failed to do so?

  10. Re:Obligatory : Can It on CERN Ups Antimatter Confinement Record to 15+ Minutes · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia it can be.

    ...That's actually really scary.

  11. Re:I'm just curious on CERN Ups Antimatter Confinement Record to 15+ Minutes · · Score: 1

    I'm unqualified as well, but this seems like it should have been answered in a manner.

    What happens when antimatter is hit by a photon?

  12. Re:Incredibly important things. on CERN Ups Antimatter Confinement Record to 15+ Minutes · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember reading that Antimatter can't really be used for energy production because the reactions are too violent. I'm completely unqualified to say either way, but it was an interesting statement. So if that statement is true, it is going to be for bombs and spaceship propulsion.

  13. Re:No big secret here on Wikileaks Cables Say No Bloodshed Inside Tiananmen Square · · Score: 1

    Why did websense block that link as "Racism and Hate"

  14. Re:No big secret here on Wikileaks Cables Say No Bloodshed Inside Tiananmen Square · · Score: 1

    And lets not forget MacArthur was put in charge of suppressing them as well.

  15. Re:New flywheel design on Using Flywheels to Meet Peak Power Grid Demands · · Score: 1

    Rare earths are in a bubble right now, China is cutting exports of RE and cracking down on RE smuggling. That's driving the prices up, there are also other RE mines coming online in the next few years which will help keep up with the demand. I've been doing rather well in the RE market recently, even though it is volatile as hell.

  16. Re:I will never buy ati again on AMD Betting Future On the GPGPU · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing you've had this stance for a very long time

  17. Re:Vodka! on Ask Slashdot: Best Certifications To Get? · · Score: 1

    CISSP is a mile wide and an inch deep

  18. Re:Very.... on Chapel Hill Computational Linguists Crack Skype Calls · · Score: 1

    You might say he's a cunning linguist

  19. Re:Why does encryption never work? on Apple's iOS 4 Hardware Encryption Cracked · · Score: 1

    Standard != Implementation

    The idea behind it is rock solid, but the engineering aspect is a bit tricky.

  20. Re:Plain text passwords.... on Sony Suffers Yet More Security Breaches · · Score: 1

    To fair I doubt he read the article, come on this is slashdot. This was a rumor that was flying around shortly after the first breach, and IIRC /. was all over it. It was disproved a few days later, but too late.

  21. Re:Hope it's true. on Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    It got it every year till about 09 when they removed it from the list and gave it a life time achievement award instead.

  22. Re:For DOS games, sure. on Ask Slashdot: DOSBox, or DOS Box? · · Score: 1

    I've been wondering about this for a very long time. I'm also about 99% certain it is standard x86, I seem to remember a project were someone swapped out the processor and it worked perfectly for all games that weren't clockspeed bound and those that were just ran fast.

    Must be one of those things were the people who can write emulators want more of a challenge.

  23. Re:Evils... on US Preserves Smallpox For Defense · · Score: 1

    What should we do with people with poor reading comprehension?

  24. Re:Isn't this bad for fingerprint scanners? on Fingerprint Scanner That Works From 6 Feet · · Score: 1

    Most people over the age of 5 don't pick up innocent looking rocks in the parking lot.

  25. Re:Cheese? on Why People Watch StarCraft, Instead of Playing · · Score: 1

    Look up "When Cheese Fails" these are fantastic videos, of people who try to cheese others and fail.
