    Oohhhhhhhh...a HORSE! Fuck, why didn't we think of that! Thank god you're here with your ingenius insights. Now all we have to do is to get it eat nothing for long periods of time in the desert while carrying heavy loads 24/7 in a combat environment. Easy!

  3. Re:No. The cat has FriendlyChemists tongue Slashdo on Maryland Indictment Says Silk Road Founder Tried To Arrange Murder of Employee · · Score: 1

    Before you start throwing insults and getting all snotty, you might want to check your own facts. TFA mentions just one attempted murder, and nothing about a real murder. Go read it.

    You're absolutely right. They're 100% guilty of the non-existent murder they staged. They should be locked up in an invisible prison cell.

    You just have to pop the device in, let it run for 10-30 seconds,

  7. Re:Comparative sacrifice on Snowden Shortlisted For Europe's Top Human Rights Award · · Score: 1

    Let's not forget that DoJ promised Snowden wouldn't be tortured if he were returned to the U.S. As in, it was on the table and everyone assumed that would happen. Getting shot in the head is the least of Snowden's concerns right now.

  10. Re:Samsung != Android on Samsung Fudging Benchmarks Again On Galaxy Note 3 · · Score: 2

    And who exactly is blaming Android? Samsung is called out in the title and almost every sentence in the fantastic summary. And the word Android is only used once to refer to the benchamarking apps.

  11. Re:"Secure" meaning . . . on Microsoft Azure Platform Certified "Secure" By Department of Defense · · Score: 1

    Um, why would they put a backdoor in a platform they were going to use for themselves?

  12. Re:Not listening to the customer. on How BlackBerry Blew It · · Score: 2

    I'm guessing the logic is that with a faster browser, you would load more pages in the same amount of time. I'm not agreeing with it, necessarily, but I do believe I use more data now with 4G LTE than I did with 3G.

    You can add people you know into your network as well as post updates and other things. It has many features of other social networks.

    Here, I googled it for you. There are apparently many sites explaining how and why gasoline spoils. Your story is one anecdote, if true. Thanks for wasting your time telling it though. You sure showed that vehicle snob.

  15. Re:Highly unusual? Hardly. on US Nuclear Commander Suspended Over Gambling · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A little gambling is fine. I have a clearance, and many of my coworkers gamble on occasion. A gambling addiction, OTOH, is a problem. It opens you up to bribery or blackmail. Someone with a serious gambling problem and mountains of debt could more easily be persuaded to divulge secrets if someone offered to clear up the debt.

    Really? This is what takes the cake? The dupes, slashvertisements, missing or dead links, dupes, obvious grammar and spelling mistakes, dupes, pointless articles like how to re-open tabs, and lest we all forget, the dupes. But citing an article that uses apartment blocks as a reference is what does it for you?

  25. Re:NSA != cybersecurity on NSA Bought Exploit Service From VUPEN · · Score: 2

    No one has that responsibility. US Cybercom doesn't have it, nor does DHS. It's a known gap in our defensive posture. US businesses have resisted any attempts from the gov to regulate their cyber security. No one wants the gummint coming in and telling them how to set up and maintain their networks. And critical infrastructure, like power and other utilities, have likewise resisted any attempts at regulation, even though they are all hooked up to the internet with little thought to security. So, the current situation is we have little cyber security as a nation, and no one is responsible for it.
