  1. Almost worth it on Three Indicted In Scareware Scam That Netted $100M · · Score: 1

    $100 Million split 3 ways? Now you're talking values that make a few years of jail time worth it. That or take the money and run to another country.

  2. Don't forget on Nero Files Antitrust Complaint Against MPEG-LA · · Score: 1

    BurnAware. Its how Nero used to be many years ago. I stopped using Nero when the "suite" stopped fitting onto a 650Mb CDR.

  3. Sorry but you won't see electric cars any time soo on National Academy of Science Urges Carbon Tax · · Score: 1

    When you run the numbers and see that a gallon of gasoline per hour is equal to 39 kilowatts you'll understand why we don't have electric cars. The technology is just not there yet and it won't be for a long time. What else contains that amount of energy and can be refilled in minutes? Nothing short of cold fusion will replace gasoline.

  4. Re:No surprise on ACLU Sues To Protect Your Right To Swear · · Score: 1

    A few Sheetz and Giant Eagle stores have successfully started selling beer. They are using the bar loophole and have to provide a place for people to sit down and eat. So a few tables or stool gets around that.

  5. No surprise on ACLU Sues To Protect Your Right To Swear · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you live in PA this won't surprise you. We just started selling alcohol on Sundays and a handful of grocery stores have had the audacity to try selling beer/wine!

  6. Money Talks on Judge Orders Gizmodo Search Warrant Unsealed · · Score: 1

    Are you surprised that the police might receive a nice donation from Apple?

  7. Re:Submitter fail. on Is the 4th Yellow Pixel of Sharp Quattron Hype? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't showing this new picture through your current tv kind of negate the effect?

  8. They shouldn't give us anything on Facebook's "Evil Interfaces" · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    They provide a free service that you must opt-in to participate. If you don't like their terms of service and privacy policy then you should delete your account and stop using it.

  9. He was an idiot on Terry Childs Found Guilty · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He was given the option to hand over the passwords and walk away or face jail time. He could have handed everything over (even though it violated a contract) and it would all be forgotten. Through some misguided sense of morals or utter stupidity he chose to let it go to trial.

    Don't kid yourselves for one second, juries are stacked with wishy washy room temp IQ dullards who are easily swayed on emotional opinions. Do you think this jury had any clue what a password file or network topology was? He was portrayed as a rogue agent against the goody two shoes city and they fell for it.

  10. Nice Try on Report Blames NRC For VT Yankee Leak · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nice try mdsolar. Maybe the mods are too stupid to realize you submit every story with a noted bias against nuclear plants but I'm not. All the other stories about the leak are submitted by this guy.

  11. So on Comcast Customers Urged To Opt-Out of Settlement · · Score: 0, Troll

    Buy a T3 if high speed is so essential to your business.

  12. Yes on Chicago Mayor Calls For "Brainiac High" · · Score: 1

    Yes it is.

  13. Not according to Sean Penn on Venezuela's Chavez To Limit Internet Freedom · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/mar/11/sean-penn-hugo-chavez-venezuela

    Wonder who is classified a dictator in his mind...

  14. Why is machine translation so difficult? on Google's Computing Power Refines Translation · · Score: 1

    That's what I've never understood. Why can't software translate as easily as a human? Is it really that difficult to come up with a set of rules so things are worded correctly?

  15. Good on ABC Pulls Channels From Cablevision · · Score: 1

    Maybe the days of companies deciding to jack up prices for the hell of it are over. ABC bluffed and Cablevision called them on it. Now ABC is losing revenue they would have otherwise gotten. If only more companies (especially hospitals) would simply say "No that price is unreasonable I won't pay." Prices across the board would drop.

  16. Mod troll on Some Newegg Customers Received Fake Intel Core i7s · · Score: 1

    All the retards who modded this up should maybe google "elbonia".

  17. Same submitter keeps trolling on Vermont May Revoke Nuclear Plant License · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you've been following this story you'll see its always submitted with an inflammatory summary. The slashdot janitors are too lazy to read the actual story and fix the summary.

  18. You're dumb on Fingerprint Requirement For a Work-Study Job? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Its a time clock. Many jobs have them along with your address, phone number, date of birth, and social security number. Welcome to the working world. I could just as easily steal your fingerprints from your car door handle or the can you threw in the trash. After this fiasco don't expect the job offers to roll in.

  19. Re:2GB on XP isnt enough anymore on Ars Analysis Calls Windows 7 Memory Usage Claims "Scaremongering" · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Just curious, whats the point of having so many open tabs with youtube videos? Do you keep having to refer back to them?

  20. Western Union on PayPal Freezes the Assets of Wikileaks.org · · Score: 1

    Things called money orders. Keep the cash in a safe deposit box. You really won't miss that 1.25% interest from a bank account either.

  21. Snail Mail on Tor Users Urged To Update After Security Breach · · Score: 1

    IMHO sending a message inside a birthday card draws a LOT less attention than using obscure and suspicious looking encryption software. But thats just my opinion.

  22. No wonder on Wii Balance Board Gives $18,000 Medical Device a Run For Its Money · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hospitals charge so much. Someone along the way decided to jack up a price and its been flowing downhill to the consumers ever since.

  23. Hardly on Psystar Activation Servers Down? · · Score: 1

    I'll take the ability to right click any file and say "send to F:" instead of running everything through shitty itunes.

  24. Thats funny on The Twelve Most Tarnished Brands In Tech · · Score: 1

    Next to the Slashdot logo it says "NEWS FOR NERDS". Now they are a day or two behind Fark and Lifehacker.

  25. You mean Fuck on Verizon Removes Search Choices For BlackBerrys · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Honestly how angry can you be if you still have to censor the word fuck? Whats next C*ap and F*rt?
