  1. sounds like a plan but on The Web Won't Be Safe Or Secure Until We Break It · · Score: 1

    what if the app itself gets infected ? false sense of security ? You'd still have to keep scanning at least once a day, no ?

  2. ... like ... lol?

  3. Re:Going to have a hard time topping modern remake on David Braben Kickstarts an Elite Reboot · · Score: 1

    why not just spend it on projects you'd like to support, it's not like you're getting the money back anyway no matter what. I'm all up for a revamped elite, a solo version of eve online, no subscription. If it fails he can still drop it open source i'm sure it will attract a community. I always wondered why no one ever did that. Because of Eve maybe

  4. Re:On the one hand... on Showdown Set On Bid To Give UN Control of Internet · · Score: 1

    even if it's probably bad for my rep and i'll be contradicting myself or something i'm gonna agree that the americans are probably doing a better job than what would happen if it got controlled by the UN ... some extra-political (external?) organ should be made to handle it but it would undoubtedly be overrun by lobbyists no matter what. Maybe leave it to the inventiveniss of the crew who has kept tpb up and running despite everything. I get the feelnig they wouldnt really like to infringe on someone's basic rights just because a suitcase of money gets handed over.

  5. is this a hollywood movie on Designing DNA Specific Bio-Weapons · · Score: 1

    one of those where the president needs to be protected at all cost while the rest of the world can go to hell? I sometimes stand awked, euh, gawked? in awe? baffled !! by this movie mentality , but i never see it reflected in what americans say on forums anywhere. Maybe i missed the right forums then?

  6. hah on Are Teachers Headed For Obsolescence? · · Score: 1

    barring a selected few, they better be going the way of the dodo, they don't teach they repeat, i always had the impression a lot didnt even really know what they were teaching ... like the venn-diagram for instance, the deeper philosophical meaning, or are you supposed not to burden younger kids with that since they learn too fast ?

  7. Re:Well I'm going to patent this poke then. on Facebook Patents Pokes-Per-Minute Limits · · Score: 1

    lda $D000,0; roll a joint then ROL; ROR; ROL; NOP; NOP; NOP; that's been a while

  8. Re:And the real crime... on Analytics Company Settles Charges For User Tracking · · Score: 1

    isnt that the usual, the only ones who win in any trial is the lawyers and the judges anyway, unless maybe you get to be apple vs. samsung, and still then by the time it's over i wonder how much money they put into it

  9. Re:The PC is dying claims are made every few years on The Greatest Battle of the Personal Computing Revolution Lies Ahead · · Score: 1

    umh, someone should come up with a law on how long it takes for unhackables and drm to be proven bs as well, someone here maybe? gods know there's enough brainpower here to fuel a starship twice around the galaxy

  10. Re:You dont say? on Using Winemaking Waste For Making Fuel · · Score: 1

    smells like pig shit in mad max

  11. heresy is mine on All Five Star Trek Captains Share a Stage · · Score: 1

    i don't think i missed a lot of episodes of the original series or the next generation but as a kid i couldnt be moved from the screen with a crowbar when battlestar galactica was on, the new series was fine but a bit too moralizing in the end. My absolute favourite stays babylon five , saw it several times front to back all episodes, must have worn my lawyer friends dvd's out there.
    so go on, whip me, stake me, i have only half a soul and it's twisted
    or just go hardcore and mod it down, i shall rise again
    i always do, must be a curse

  12. too much science-fiction on NASA Satellite Sees Black Hole Belching Out Hundred-Million-Degree X-rays · · Score: 1

    or just too much fantasy has me thinking : so this expanding universe is actually literally slowly going down the drain one galaxy at a time. The big black hole, the ultimate cosmic zipfile. Where information does not get destroyed but compressed by algorithms only the ancient ones understand. So when they finally get back to check on their experiment all they need to do is collect the data about everything that happened over time.
    yap, definitely too much fantasy there

  13. Re:Can ppl stop on Italian Supreme Court Accepts Mobile Phone-Tumor Link · · Score: 1

    lol, for a moment there i thought i accidentally logged into world of warcraft again

  14. Re:I should not have to pay $35 on Internet Providers To Begin Warning Customers Who Pirate Content · · Score: 1

    from what i read before about this i dont think there's any kind of legal action involved. It's more like a watered-down version of copyright trolling and probably the only reason they agreed to do it since they can make money on the fears of the ignorant like that

  15. recycling is the answer man on Ask Slashdot: Why Does Wireless Gear Degrade Over Time? · · Score: 1
  16. where there's movement on How Google Cools Its 1 Million Servers · · Score: 1

    i smell an engineering contest. I'm way far from an engineer ... couple of lightyears probably but if that air moves can't it be used for energy reclamation driving some kind of micro-turbines (does that exist?) getting back a little of the energy spent that could be redirected into the system again. Or is this one of my 'you've read too much science-fiction' moments ?

  17. Re:DNA is an Earth-specific coincidence on Craig Venter Wants To Rebuild Martian Life In Earth Lab · · Score: 1

    insightful and funny, no i think he works at SETI trying to find alien patterns with human algorythms. I'm a huge fan of that project tho don't get me wrong

  18. Re:Don't complain about crime then on Facebook Won't Take Down Undercover Cop Page In Australia · · Score: 1

    i was too fast again with the submit, who checks the fact that they're all actual undercover cars or people ?

  19. Re:Don't complain about crime then on Facebook Won't Take Down Undercover Cop Page In Australia · · Score: 1

    i'm sure that kind of information circulated in euh 'relevant circles' long before it got mainstream there

  20. still one of my favourite factions on China's Yearly Budget For High-Speed Rail: $100 Billion · · Score: 1

    the citizens defence force makes you impenetrable from the start and they seem to have it

  21. Re:There's a good dog on The Long Reach of US Extradition · · Score: 1

    so, like any other place in the world they turn to the right side of the classical line and call it something else. It's a scary fact if this continues to escalate i might consider becoming a fanatic muslim or jew, at least they havent lost their middle finger yet

  22. Re:Let them on Brazilian Newspapers Leave Google News En Masse · · Score: 1

    no mod points left : insightful
    yea, and let them, see what happens

  23. Re:Can't they already? on Dutch Ministry Proposes Powers For Police To Hack Computers, Install Spyware · · Score: 1

    eeh yea before i get sympathized with i'll admit the binladen was a bit an unlucky choice, the point is these 'police' are usually only strong in numbers when it comes to that, this would do way more harm. best artists never join that side do they, must be a brain thing somehow

  24. Re:Can't they already? on Dutch Ministry Proposes Powers For Police To Hack Computers, Install Spyware · · Score: 1

    the police state is getting scarily visible all across europe, must have something to do with ageing populace and fearing what you don't understand. Format c: keeps the doctor away. I wonder how much fun some kind of 'hacker collective' could have with this making cops run around all across the globe by setting bits of info here and there. Took the CIA/FBI ten years to find bin laden and he was more or less not the smartest hacker on the globe let's say.
    they can hardly outsmart, they needed a rat to dig out lulzsec for instance. This could be , euhm, a tool for chaos created by the lawmongers themselves. How long would it take for the code to be hacked, cracked, recognized, scanned for and used
    I can see the hacker-ego-point-value in finding a lolly way to do it as well.
    another great idea

  25. Re:But where to get it on Google Threatens French Media Ban · · Score: 1

    nothing is belgian, not even belgians, half the world came unload their genes here, the country was devised on paper as a gift from the queen to her cousin (or uncle?) and probably as a bufferzone between the french and the dutch.
