  1. So I guess Lucky Goldstar show their true colors on Declining LG's New Ad-friendly Privacy Policy Removes Features From Smart TVs · · Score: 1

    I never had a beef with LG before.

    Now I know I never will. I won't buy any of their connected gadgets. Bad fucking attitude towards consumers.

  2. Timothy McVeigh a Patriot? on AT&T Hacker 'weev' Demands One Bitcoin For Each Hour He Spent In Jail · · Score: 1

    What a load of horseshit.

    Patriots don't go around bombing civilian targets. That sort of shit winds you solidy in the terrorist category.

    weev? You were doing okay until you mouthed off with that nonsense. I hope some freewheeling fed decides to pop you.

  3. Not evil, but definitely rotting from within on XMPP Operators Begin Requiring Encryption, Google Still Not Allowing TLS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Google is acquiring all of the arrogant bullshit attitudes and implementing arbitrary rules and standards just the same way that microsoft did.

    It's a sad shame. But an evil empire smells not different from an empire that's rotting.

  4. Re:Wood for biofuels? Slow and wasteful. on Cheaper Fuel From Self-Destructing Trees · · Score: 1

    It has the benefit of being able to outproduce any wood product and you can get two crops per year in much of the US. Also, the recovery methods for hemp don't require any acids, unlike trees.

  5. Wood for biofuels? Slow and wasteful. on Cheaper Fuel From Self-Destructing Trees · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Using wood to create BioFuels is extremely wasteful of both time and material.

    Use hemp instead. You'll get two huge crops per year. And it's a crop made of easy-to-process plant material. No lignin involved. Just process the green matter.

  6. Satisfied, here. on Why Movie Streaming Services Are Unsatisfying — and Will Stay That Way · · Score: 2

    I say fuck 'em. Until they get their act together and provide what is needed instead of supporting a business mdoel better suited for the 50s, I'll stick with USENET, torrents, and file sharing services to watch the broadcast shows I like.

    When they decide they need the business, they'll come up with reasonable plans and I'll come back. Until then, I'll be happy with my own servers providing the content I want, from any source I want, when I want it.

  7. Re:Why do people continue to use diseased products on Microsoft Word Zero-Day Used In Targeted Attacks · · Score: 1

  9. Re:Why do people continue to use diseased products on Microsoft Word Zero-Day Used In Targeted Attacks · · Score: 1

    I don't remember the DOS version being particularly insecure.

  10. Why do people continue to use diseased products? on Microsoft Word Zero-Day Used In Targeted Attacks · · Score: 1

    MS Word has been insecure since MicroShaft decided to add VBA and tie Word into the OS. Nothing but virus attacks and worms.

    Why the hell do so many people continue using shit products so damned likely to infect their system?

  11. Looks more like a Russian or Chinese ski-jump deck on Iran Builds Mock-up of Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier · · Score: 1

    This doesn't look like a Nimitz-class. It more closely resembles the deck of a Russian or Chinese carrier with a ski-jump front end.

    If Iran is scoring new carrier-capable aircraft, where do you think they'll get them and what kind will they be? Want to bet they STOL using a ramp system?

  12. Re:Why so expensive? on NASA Forgets How To Talk To ICE/ISEE-3 Spacecraft · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Since when is NASA a big daddy defense contractor? This is a task they could manage in-house with the resources they already have on hand.

    The original hardware is missing, sure. But that's no big deal. RF is RF. They can use a Software Defined Radio (SDR) and throw together a program to parse the telemetry into something meaningful. After all, the only thing disposed of was the hardware. The specifications for everything else is on file.

    All they need is some support instead of more snarky remarks. Sure, NASA kinda fucked up when the hardware was trashed, but hardware that's been idle for 15-20 years looks like it's only collecting dust (which it was). But who actually knew it was still needed? That is plenty long enough for the engineers who once used it to move on to other employers or to simply grow old enough to reach retirement and leave.

  13. You babbling idiots. on White House Responds To Net Neutrality Petition · · Score: 1

    Well, not all of you, but definitely those of you who are simple minded enough to become caught up in party politics as though it makes a difference in the outcome of anything decided in Washington.

    And you poor sad bastards who actually believe that the whitehouse petitions are anything more than pacifiers to quiet your whining, did you actually believe that any substantive changes would come about as a result of you signing a petition? Seriously? Change doesn't happen in Washington unless someone in the government personally wants it, is bribed to change it, or is forced to as part of an attempt to cover up some other malfeasance.

    The petitions are a way for the American government to stuff a cock-shaped pacifier in your mouths while the government goes ahead and does what it wants irregardless of your wishes.

    Bread and circuses, people. Bread and circuses.

  14. If I wanted to visit Gawker... on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    Fuck this new format. It's fat and wasteful of screen real estate and it makes slashdot look like a run-of-the-mill fluff blogspam news site.

    I'll be leaving if you force the change.

    Sure, it's just one person, but I've been coming here for a damned long time.

  15. Re:Google plus on Bennett Haselton: Google+ To Gmail Controversy Missing the Point · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I agree with your views. Google has jumped the damned shark.

  16. Re:Super Capacitors on Six Electric Cars Can Power an Office Building · · Score: 1

    Research supercapacitors. They aren't batteries.

  17. Super Capacitors on Six Electric Cars Can Power an Office Building · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The idea to store all excess electricity is already being investigated. But they're planning to use super capacitors rather than batteries. The idea to buy it cheap at night and sell it back to the grid during the day when theoretically, your consumption is lower (not at home, etc.) is too good not to be exploited.

  18. Another "Hey, remember me?" event by a politician on Sen. Chuck Schumer Seeks To Extend Ban On 'Undetectable' 3D-Printed Guns · · Score: 1

    The man is a moron who failed to research his latest publicity gambit.

  19. Excuse me, I'll just leave this here, on Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) · · Score: 1

    Don't step in my pile of fresh vomit.

    The new layout is garbage.

    Now what will I do for fun?

  21. You cannot reason with a madman on Why Are Some Hell-Bent On Teaching Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    Why do you all persist in thinking that you can change the mind of a zealot? It doesn't matter whether that person is waving a bible or a Kalashnikov. As long as they think that "God" wants them to act a certain way, they are going to do so. Short of killing them there is very little you can do to stop them. Forget about convincing them not to kill all us infidels or stopping them from forcing their distorted world view upon everyone else.

    There's nothing more dangerous than a religious zealot and a bomb. That fact holds true the world over and it doesn't matter where or how that person prays. Bombs are the chosen weapons of God.

  22. There's a more reliable system than lie-detectors! on Feds Seek Prison For Man Who Taught How To Beat a Polygraph · · Score: 3, Funny

    Lie detectors have the inherent problem in that they can be duped by one who has been schooled to do so. But there is one science that is 100% accurate and relies solely on something that the subject cannot hide: Their skull! Using the science of Phrenology, a trained scientist, a scientist, mind you, not simply some quack wearing a tie, can measure the subject's skull in detail and provide a 100% accurate assessment of the subject's reliability, honesty, intelligence, and propensity to commit crimes or to engage in perverse behaviours, as well as many more important traits that one must consider when entrusting an employee or government official charged with protecting our families and making our nation safe!

    Be safe! Rely on Phrenology!
