  1. Re:Sounds like the U.S. on Hungarian Officials Can Now Censor the Media · · Score: 1

    But I don't believe it is for lack of trying. I am worried...

    "he has implemented retroactive taxes in violation of the constitution, curbed the Constitutional Court's power, effectively nationalized private pension funds and put ruling-party allies in charge of at least four independent institutions..."

  3. Coming soon... on China Censors 60,000 Porn Sites, 5,000 Arrested · · Score: 1

    to a United States near you!

  4. Marvelous! on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Thank you Slashdot for finally giving me the needed push to stop visiting here. When tripe like this is "reported" here as news I know I'm wasting my time. And there seems to be more and more of this.

  5. Re:This isn't activism on Operation Payback and Hactivism 101 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm just happy that someone on /. *finally* (in the second paragraph of the post above) used the word "rogue" instead of "rouge".

    Then there was the pesky aluminum head that warped destroying the engine if the temperature went about 90 degrees F....

    Fights.
    Terminator stuff.
    Made by the same company that brought us the Chevy Vega...

  8. Poor Mastercard on MasterCard Hit By WikiLeaks Payback Attacks · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I wonder how they feel being denied due process...

  9. Not smart enough on Smart Wallets React To Spending By Shrinking · · Score: 1

    I propose a smart wallet be given free of charge to everyone in Congress that would drive a stake through the spot where one would normally find a heart.

  10. Re:i can see it now on FCC To Vote On Net Neutrality On December 21 · · Score: 1

    And I see a ripe opportunity to re-open my old dial-up BBS.

  11. I just checked the MIC Gadget site on Apple Sues Steve Jobs Figurine Maker Over Likeness · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The SJ Figurine doll is marked "Discontinued" and has been replaced by one called "Butt-Head Astronomer".

  12. Coming soon....near you.... on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    I can't wait until every U.S. police department decides it "needs" these to "protect" the citizenry.

  13. Re:One of the last guys to tell George to stuff it on Empire Strikes Back Director Irvin Kershner Dies at 87 · · Score: 1

    One wonders what his sensibilities for human drama and actual tension would have done to that cartoon.

    Yeah - we're really going to miss Ewoks "emoting".

  14. Re:Help from the "Irish" Americians on The Luck of the Irish Runs Out · · Score: 1

    They should just ask for help from the same people who helped fund the IRA' murderous bombing campaign, i.e. the yanks. Bet funding terrorism seemed a jolly good "craic" back then, still karma can be a bit of a bitch as the found out on 11/9.

    Why? What happened on November 9th?

  15. Re:Well, well, well on Attachmate To Acquire Novell For $2.2B Cash · · Score: 1

    That's a deep subject...

  16. Re:What's Leahy's deal? on Senate Panel Approves Website Shut-Down Bill · · Score: 1

    I'll tell you why he does this. He's the epitome of the stereotypical starfucker.

    He's real proud of his goddamned Batman collection (remember his cameo in the movie?) and when he chaired the Senate Agriculture committee he arranged "expert" testimony on the farm crisis in the late 80s in the form of Sissy Spacek, Jessica Lange and Sally Fields - who's only claim to expertise in the subject was by virtue of starring in movies on the subject. Look how often he and Utah's Hatch roll over for their media buddies. Fuck him. He's a hack.

  17. I call on Obama May Toughen Internet Privacy Rules · · Score: 4, Insightful

    bullshit.

    "The big question, though, is just how successful any fresh attempt at enforcing new privacy strictures on the Internet will be with Republicans soon to be in charge of the House."

    The Democrats have proven themselves to be just as guilty in this regard so please refrain from the partisianship.

  18. This explains the political process on The Placebo Effect Not Just On Drugs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I keep voting and nothing new happens.

  19. Re:OK.. on FBI Watching Oracle-SAP Trial · · Score: 1

    so the FBI is watching them..how is this news for nerds or news for that matter? what's the relevance of this story? An FBI agent goes to work. that's it?

    Exactly. Aren't we ALL being watched now?

  20. Re:Performance-tuned Java? on Oracle To Monetize Java VM · · Score: 1

    Very good. I was going to ask about the idea of premium JVM vs regular JVM. How could it be tuned to perform any worse than it does now?

  21. Thanks for the warning. on Microsoft Outlines Windows Phone 7 Kill Switch · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "...we could remove applications from handsets - we don't want things to go that far, but we could."

    Now I have no need to even consider getting one.

  22. Re:reality on Blekko Launches a Search Engine With Bias · · Score: 1
