    Anonymous Coward? Or Anonymous Canadian? Eh?

  2. Re:Lock the door when inside on Open Millions of Hotel Rooms With Arduino · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why call them safes then? Let's call them UnSafes!

    Jurassic. Park.

  5. Re:Construction or landscaping on Ask Slashdot: Find a Job In China For Non-native Speaker? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hard to claim racism when no race is mentioned in the question or the answer, only language, though I do see where you're coming from.

    How would you call that? Languagism?

  6. Re:What's missing? on Iran Threatens Legal Action Against Google For Not Labeling Gulf 'Persian' · · Score: 1

    It is unlabeled, but if you search Google Maps for "Persian Gulf", you get a pin right in the target. Strange though that it is not labeled at all.

  7. Your eyes on Ask Slashdot: What's a Good Tool To Detect Corrupted Files? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    And open the file. If corrupted, it will not look as it should. ;-)

  8. Re:Darn that dirty hydrogen on Self-Sustaining Solar Reactor Creates Clean Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    Noooo! No sunlight in the basement! That'Ms why we live in the basement, to get few or no sunlight! ;-)

  9. Re:Too overzealous? on Sony Taking Down PSP Titles In Response To Vita Hackers · · Score: 1

    At this point, "Too overzealous" can apply, even if it is not good english.

  10. Re:"Gossip" Flag? on UK MPs Threaten New Laws If Google Won't Censor Search · · Score: 0

    [...] or sued by the censored for complying

    And then, Google could sue the government for creating a law that has had them sued for complying with it?

  11. Fascinating on Researchers Tweak Mouse Neurons To Activate Specific Memories · · Score: 1

    Your best souvenirs are just a flash of light away. However, you have to accept to be lobotomized and have a laser trigger some cells in your brain, but this is just a detail!

    I rather close my eyes and think about stuff that I can remember. I can even think about stuff that has not happened yet :-)

    Didn't RTFA, as usual.

  12. Re:Believable for AT&T on AT&T Charged US Taxpayers $16 Million For Nigerian Fraud Calls · · Score: 1

    [...]and for the extra $3 it's not worth going to court.

    IANAL, but if there are so many customers being ripped off that way, why not start a class action lawsuit? You could get more than this tiny 3$ for each consumer involved, and could put some public attention on the poor business practices of the company.

    However, not knowing a lot about the US market, maybe everyone already knows that, and many people continue to do business with AT&T...

    WHAT???

  14. Re:Right on Microsoft Barring Certain Staff From Buying Macs, iPads? · · Score: 1

    Well I guess some employees have tried to buy Apple stuff on their expense allocation. But this is completely nuts! Who are those Microsoft Employees who tried to do that? If I was their manager, I'd have fired them right away!

    Buying those Apple things for personal use with personal money is already a little tricky as a MS employee, let alone trying to have it free using the employer's money! How would these be useful to fulfill work tasks anyway?

    You see... you quantum computer is not fast enough yet.

  16. Re:Not always true on Free Apps Eat Your Smartphone Battery · · Score: 4, Funny

    But if you use AdBlock Free, does it suck up your battery to display ads?

  17. Re:As a Canadian, I just decided on New York State Passes DNA Requirement For Almost All Convicted Criminals · · Score: 1

    Anything against people from Quebec? You know, it's not because some separatists hate the US and all the English speaking people that we are all like that.

  18. Re:As a Canadian, I just decided on New York State Passes DNA Requirement For Almost All Convicted Criminals · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Why, were you doing bad things over there? If you do not commit a crime, you should not get arrested and DNA profiled...

  19. Re:Does that Apply to Bankers? on New York State Passes DNA Requirement For Almost All Convicted Criminals · · Score: 2

    The problem with those two is that they stole, or tried to steal, money from OTHER rich people. Other rich people get angry, have them sent to jail.

  20. Re:Where are they? on Last Chance To Stop SOPA From Coming To Canada · · Score: 2

    I don't believe "Anonymous" was only 2 people... (the one who got caught and the one who sold him).

  23. Re:Privelege on Photographing Police: Deletion Is Not Forever · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why haven't these police officers been arrested?

    Arrested by who? Their peers who do not want to be videotaped either?

    You misplaced the "."... Oh wait...

  25. Re:Is Azure free? on Microsoft's Azure Cloud Suffers Major Downtime · · Score: 1

    ...there should be contractual SLAs and penalties involved

    Do you really think Microsoft would put a gun on their own head like that, assuming they learned from their past?

    I think they provide the service "As-is and with best-effort service recovery". Read the fine prints, I'm sure you'll find something like that.
