    prioritary

    I am not sure that is a word...but it should be.

  3. Re:Saw this earlier on US Customs Destroys Virtuoso's Flutes Because They Were "Agricultural Items" · · Score: 1

    the United States government has declared all musical instruments to be illegal contraband

    Well, I would hope that it meant that one asshole did something stupid and is going to be disciplined for it. But, unfortunately, you never know anymore..,and that isn't gonna get this guy his stuff back.

  7. Re:TOS anyone? on LinkedIn's New Mobile App Called 'a Dream For Attackers' · · Score: 1

    "you did WHAT?!?!"

    Me, to some kid I work with upon him telling me he did that...with his company email login....(which is his network login). And. Nobody. Cared.

  8. Re:Scientology is the truth on Scientology's Fraud Conviction Upheld In France · · Score: 1

    Sarah Silverman said something funny in her interview on the Seinfeld coffee thing...along the lines of 'your Messiah is named L Ron Hubbard because there was already another Ron Hubbard in the screen actors guild...isn't that weird to you'. I am paraphrasing. I just watched the episode again and didn't hear her say it...but I know that she did the first time I watched it. They must have edited it out.

  9. Re:Incorrect assessment... on China's State Press Calls For 'Building a De-Americanized World' · · Score: 1

    .if you have 10 American programmers, you will find 2 good ones, 4 okay, and the rest mediocre. This is the same with Indians. The number of programmers are high, so the number of mediocre programmers are also high

    I work for a company that doesn't outsource much development. But, I work with a lot of customers that do outsource it. So I frequently work in between (mostly American) devs and (frequently) Indian ones.I cannot agree with this statement more. We have good and bad devs...and sometimes the Indian devs are great, and sometimes they are not.

  10. Re:Idiot pruf on D-Link Router Backdoor Vulnerability Allows Full Access To Settings · · Score: 1

    Nobody (outside of us) upgrades the firmware on their home router; They run it from factory until death, then buy another one. These devices will be vulnerable for the foreseeable future.

    It wouldn't matter if they did. They aren't gonna patch the firmware for any of the affected routers anyway.

  11. Re:CMS??? on Dangerous VBulletin Exploit In the Wild · · Score: 1

    Thought the exact same thing.

    There are 2 of us....this is troubling.

  13. Re:Snakes on New Species of Legless Lizard Discovered Near LAX Runway · · Score: 5, Informative
    In case anyone else wonders and doesn't want to RTFA.

    The lizards are distinguishable from their slithery relatives based on one or more of the following: eyelids, external ear openings, lack of broad belly scales and/or a very long tail. Snakes, conversely, have a long body and a short tail.

  14. Re:Well, obviously on Brazil Announces Plans To Move Away From US-Centric Internet · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Well, the Brazilian women usually say "Ai, Ai" to stay on topic.

  15. Re:voyager has left the solar system. on It's Official: Voyager 1 Is an Interstellar Probe · · Score: 1

    The windows 8 file copy is actually pretty good. Look up a picture if you haven't seen it. So is.......well, I like the new task manager I guess.

  16. Re:Albini the analog snake oil salesman on Why Steve Albini Still Prefers Analog Tape · · Score: 1

    His band, Shellac, is pretty good. I like it anyway. And I would imagine that he was asked to do this interview and just gave his opinion. However, he does seem like he really is a knowitall asshole (he would fit right in here), so I won't defend him to vigorously.

  17. Re:"Digital recordings will be unplayable" on Why Steve Albini Still Prefers Analog Tape · · Score: 0

    He is certainly already in a position to convince hipsters that it is the best way to do it. It would be a good way to make a lot of money.

  19. Re:I never understood the principle. on Syria: a Defining Moment For Chemical Weapons? · · Score: 1

    weapons that kill your own citizens are bad

    weapons that you can make a snarky comment on the internet are good.

  20. Re:Good. on Report: Snowden Stayed At Russian Consulate While In Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    You originally said that the world is not better off now than it was during the cold war. Now your posts seem to be saying that you just meant that life in Russia during communism wasn't as bad as it was made out to be in the west. Of course it wasn't. Also, I wouldn't call the US out for being a homophobic society...glass houses and stones kinda thing.

  21. Re:Here we go... on US Forces Ready To Strike Syria If Ordered · · Score: 1

    As usual, there are NO easy answers in the middle east.

    There is always an easy answer to any geopolitical issue. It is the USA's fault.

  22. Re:This is bullshit Delivery, Propaganda style on Report: Snowden Stayed At Russian Consulate While In Hong Kong · · Score: 0

    Snowden is a traitor. A person can think what they like about whether he should have done what he did or not....but he is a traitor.

  23. Re:Good. on Report: Snowden Stayed At Russian Consulate While In Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    My first thought upon reading that was also "there is no way you were really alive during the cold war". This is the internet, everything is the fault of the USA. We would be living in a perfect utopia if only one of the more enlightened countries, like Russia (try reading that with a straight face), were in charge.

  24. Re:Sugar on What's Causing the Rise In Obesity? Everything. · · Score: 1

    People in the comments to that story, before it started flaming up, say that lab mice are absolutely not fed the same things they were 40 years ago. I am, of course, not taking that as the truth, but I would like to know more about that if any /.ers know about this. That is the best point in the whole story, IMO

  25. Re:Sugar on What's Causing the Rise In Obesity? Everything. · · Score: 1

    you'll increase your fructose intake 10% if you eat the same quantity as "sugar"

    5%, I think you meantersay.
