  1. Re:People Need to Realize on Google Breathes New Life Into EU's Cookie Law · · Score: 1

    Shit man, you often make some interesting points in this place but your whole "teh gubmint iz ev!l" thing is getting really old.

  2. Re:Probably means they can track without cookies on Google Breathes New Life Into EU's Cookie Law · · Score: 1

    If it's like every other site affected by this law, they will give you the choice: Accept cookies or get inferior or no access to their services. The current implementation of the cookie law is worse than useless.

    ...will be to give every user their own personal cloud housed in a box under their desk.

    Ah the old can-in-the-middle attack!

  6. Re:Why are these stories on /.? on Huge Explosion at Texas Fertilizer Plant · · Score: 2

    I haven't noticed that.
    In Baghdad and other parts of central Asia huge bombs are set off on a weekly basis with scores of victims but Slashdot doesn't mention it. The odd bomb in the US will get a mention. Attacks in Europe or Russia only get mentioned if they are big. So it's just the spillover of regular news you'd expect from a US based site.

  7. It's always the same story. on Coral-Repairing Robots Take a Step Closer To Reality · · Score: 5, Funny

    The humans make a mess and the robots have to clean it up.
    This morning my Roomba was giving me a weird look.

  8. Re:Organic compounds on Harvard Grid Computing Project Discovers 20k Organic Photovoltaic Molecules · · Score: 1

    You may want to look in your kitchen cupboard and notice that bottle of bleach. Am I the only one who thinks that storing a compound that so easily produces a deadly war gas that strips the lining of your lungs when mixed with the contents of the bottle of cleaner next to it is a really dumb idea? Don't even get me started on the fool who thought that allowing cables carrying the same deadly electrical current that is used for electrocuting criminals into every home was a good idea.

    Daily life is full of potentially deadly scenarios, and yet most of us still manage to make it to old age.

  9. Re:Misleading statement in TFA on Harvard Grid Computing Project Discovers 20k Organic Photovoltaic Molecules · · Score: 1

    I recommend that you use a dictionary to look up the word "volunteer" and note that the definition doesn't include "petty bastard who only works for personal gain" This will save everyone here the trouble of quoting the Princess bride to you.

    I figure that the high vacuum would make breathing difficult as well.

    He gambled and lost.
    If his gamble had worked he would have made a lot of money for the firm and he would have been a hero to his employer with a hefty bonus on top.

    Yeah but now they need the cash for vitally important projects like a state funeral for Dear Leader.

  14. Re:A classic case of a kettle calling the pot blac on Guantanamo Hearings Delayed as Legal Files Vanish · · Score: 1

    The administration who had them rounded up in the first place created all sorts of legal fictions to make sure that they weren't treated as prisoners of war complete with the rights that accompany that classification in international law. The current administration just wants to sweep this whole embarrasment under the carpet.

    I don't have a Congressman. I do have a queen though does that count?

  16. Re:remove phone-home crap - Then how would it work on Hacker Modifies Facebook Home To Work On All Android Devices · · Score: 1

    If someone's not willing to share their own life but still want to peek into the lives of others then they're a bit of a peeping Tom in my book. I guess that's what two decades of reality TV has turned people into.

  17. I'd like to see this guy's hat. on Hacker Modifies Facebook Home To Work On All Android Devices · · Score: 4, Funny

    It must be the biggest, blackest hat in the history of the world.

    Turns out the number of 1.8 billion is stated correctly in the original press release.

    "The HiRISE image in which the possible spacecraft parts were discovered is massive with 1.8 million pixels, which NASA says would require approximately 2500 average computer monitors to view."

    I guess that is 2500 monitors at NASA or 1 smartphone. Please tell me that it should be 1.8 billion pixels.

  21. Re:US vs. Russia & China on US Gov't Blocks Sales To Russian Supercomputer Maker · · Score: 1

    The US has in the past been at war with Japan as well. Are there restrictions on selling GPUs to Japan? My point is, times change as do allegiances. Besides, if US business is so powerful then why does it still allow the military to tell them who to sell to?

    Do you really not know your idea of maritime piracy is the ludicrously overblown tall-tale version?

    Bands of thugs in boats stealing and murdering? No that is exactly what piracy on the high seas is about, and, like slavery, it is continuing to this day. Unless you think all those navy ships patrolling the Indian Ocean are there for shit and giggles.
