  5. Re:First post! on The FBI Wants To Know About Your IT Skills · · Score: 1

    It seems aimed at big "IT Infrastructure" companies like ISPs, search engines and mail providers

    No, it is/was aimed at any company willing to get involved. I went to one of their meetings and the whole thing kinda creeped me out. I got the distinct impression that we were expected to routinely rat out anyone we could find.

  6. Re:So everyone will soon look like on Control Your Apps Without Your Finger · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Remember not too many years ago people acting like this on the street were institutionalized. Now it is acceptable behavior in some eyes.

  7. So everyone will soon look like on Control Your Apps Without Your Finger · · Score: 5, Funny

    Elaine dancing?

  8. The irony on Anti-Technology Themes in James Cameron's Avatar · · Score: 1

    I can't take the whole Avatar-as-greenie movie since we're being bombarded by Mickey D's "Avatar Happy Meal" commercials! I mean, doesn't this hypocrisy annoy anyone else?

  9. Re:This isn't about science. on Obama Backs New Launcher and Bigger NASA Budget · · Score: 1

    Exactly. And that is what the first space race tot he moon was about. Science was incidental otherwise WE'D STILL BE THERE!

  10. Hopefully on Obama Backs New Launcher and Bigger NASA Budget · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    the first payload to the moon in the new launcher will be the entire Congress. One way.

  11. I thought algore said on Swiss Geologist On Trial For Causing Earthquakes · · Score: 1

    the temperature was in the millions of degrees? What's with this 195C sissy stuff?

  12. Re:Multidimensional Pizza on The Perfect Way To Slice a Pizza · · Score: 1

    Okay, so a three dimensional pizza would be a calzone, but what would a four-dimensional pizza look like?

    It would look like the one on my counter the next morning.

  13. Re:You get what you pay for on Extended Warranty Purchases Up 10% This Year · · Score: 4, Funny

    Which is exactly why we need Extended Warranty Reform. Hopefully, Dear Leader will make this his next target.

  14. Isn't this kinda like saying on Gran Turismo Gamer Becomes Pro Race Driver · · Score: 1

    I played Milton Bradley's "Operation" as a kid and now I'm a surgeon??? BFD.

    Somehow I know *we'll* lose!

  16. Re:How unfortunate... on FCC Preparing Transition To VoIP Telephone Network · · Score: 1

    POTS is pretty reliable; but secure? Really?

    You can tap a POTS line with a couple of alligator clips and a speaker, and almost no standard telephones have even the most primitive encryption or obfuscation support, much less anything standardized.

    You're right. I should have qualified that a bit more. I don't see script kiddies running denial of service attacks on my POTS.

  17. How unfortunate... on FCC Preparing Transition To VoIP Telephone Network · · Score: 3, Interesting

    POTS is and has been stable and secure.

    VOIP... not and never will be.

  18. I cracked the code years ago. on The Voynich Manuscript May Have Been Decoded · · Score: 5, Funny

    It says:

    Pound pastrami, can kraut,six bagels--bring home for Emma."

  19. Re:automated tool for locating cells? on Sprint Revealed Customer GPS Data 8 Million Times · · Score: 0

    I see.... you're one of "those" complainers... well... we'll just have to start watching *you*.

  20. What's with the "Deputy Director" stuff? on Wikipedia Disputes Editor Exodus Claims · · Score: 1

    I never really could understand the title "deputy director". Isn't that just an Assistant? Does s/he get paid more if s/he is a deputy as opposed to an assistant. Or is it just another pretentious affectation? Please explain.

  21. Now all that we need... on Google Attack On the Mobile Market Rumored · · Score: -1, Troll

    is for Dear Leader to nationalize Google so the takeover of the American public will be complete.

  22. They have bigger problems than just this one... on New Virginia IT Systems Lack Network Backup · · Score: 3, Informative

    Remember how Virginia's health records were compromised earlier this year?

    http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/05/1232240

    Sounds like systemic ineptitude which is why I'm really looking forward to more government involvement in health care!

  23. Yuck! Sushi! on Is That Sushi Hazardous To Your Health? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Eating sushi is almost as disgusting as eating raw fish!

  24. Re:Rediscovering obsolescence on Ten Things Mobile Phones Will Make Obsolete · · Score: 1

    That's a great story.

    Thanks!

  25. Maybe the DEA Should Shut Down Apple on Apple Voiding Smokers' Warranties? · · Score: 3, Funny

    After all, 90% of U.S. currency has traces of cocaine on it. I'm pretty sure the Apple store is dealing.
