  1. Re:We need to start passing laws... on Phoenix Police Seize PCs of a Blogger Critical of the Department · · Score: 1

    Use of the office to intimidate, threaten or harass, 15 years.

    Use of the office to deny someone their constitutional rights, 5 years.

    Is harassing someone really three times worse than, say, imprisoning them for years without trial?

    You want a slim browser, right now? Use Lynx. It won't get any slimmer than that.

    Pft. Real slim-browsing men send hand-crafted TCP packets and read the reply line by line on the terminal screen, rendering the HTML in their head.

    This sure is a useful Greasemonkey script.

    (It's even better, in my opinion, if you comment out the block of code that replaces the link text with the real URL.)

    This post does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, religion, race, sexual orientation, color, disability, national and ethnic descent, standards-compliace or hyperlink target.

    It is an equal opportunity parent post.

    Nothing will bury search results like filing to run for office.

    Good idea! I got sick of the smell, so I buried my dirty laundry last week, and now I can't remember where it is.

  15. Re:Unclear wording on New Tool Promises To Passively ldentify BitTorrent Files · · Score: 1

    This doesn't identify someone downloading a file via bittorrent, it identifies someone downloading a *.bittorrent file (presumably via http).

    I've always distributed my *.bittorrent files over bittorrent. Looks like I'm safe. Phew!

    My Review of Comment #26611531 (Re:Nope. Never. - Reviewed) by badboy_tw2002 (524611)

    This comment had me sitting on the edge of my seat. At no point from scrolling from the top of the comment to the bottom was I let down by the gripping realism and hard hitting factual basis of the comment. The protagonist, badboy_tw2002, is a loosely autobiographical amalgam of the typical /. reader. Finally, someone who gets it! The comment really has everything - real uses of technology like newsgroups and IRC, and a scope wide enough to include the daily dramas we all deal with - misuse of English grammar:
