  1. Re:Just a note of warning to US citizens on Sweden To Be Oil-Free By 2020 · · Score: 1, Informative

    Sweden is a socialist country. EXTREMELY socialist even by pinko european standards. This means very simply that an awfull lot of your income will be taxed and given to people to lazy to work.

    And Sweden is the ONLY country in the world that has a higher standard of living than the US.

  3. I cannot help but wonder... on Review of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Overall this is a decent review, but it is a review of a series that has been available in one form or another for well over a year now. Not only that, but I feel it really does not bring anything new to the discussion of the series.

    Now, added to all of this, it was submitted by the author. In light of the recent discussion on submits and greenlights, I would like to point this out as a perfec texample of what NOT to put on the front page. Maybe put it on anime.slashdot.org, but not the main page, I want better quality stuff there.

  4. Ah on Lawmakers Try to Protect Kids From Spam · · Score: 2, Interesting

  9. Re:Slow progress on Microsoft vs. Computer Security · · Score: 1

    I concur, one of the departments where I work here have thier WinXP machines locked up tighter than an accountants....well, you get the idea. They have no problem running Office apps in a limited environment.

  12. Ummm on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 1

  13. Re:IDF has smart people working for them ... on Israeli Army Frowns on D&D · · Score: 0

    These are the same "Intelligent" people that believe God told them 4,000 odd years ago that they have a divine mandate to live there?

  18. Re:yea let's make society crazy on Man Finds $1,000 Prize in EULA · · Score: 2, Funny

    Think of Rumplestiltskin, without the princess even knowing what her end of the deal is.

    And yet the princess was pretty venal, expecting to take advantage of the little dude. Ain't no saints in that story.



    That's the point

  19. Re:yea let's make society crazy on Man Finds $1,000 Prize in EULA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think you are missing the point. The point they are making here us that even a cursory overview of the EULA will tell you if an application is spyware or not. Or if you will be rendered legally sterilizeable if you install this software.

  25. Re:What I want to see on Large-Format Printable Wardriving Maps of Seattle · · Score: 1

    You do have a good point, but things like this DO have a habit of making it on the evening news. Usually under the tagline "Millions of terrorist hackers are swarming the greater Seattle area to steal YOUR broadband"

    It is all about the culture of fear.
