  1. Re:I wish I saw this earlier on Feds Bust Cable Modem Hacker · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does this mean aftermarket alterations to my vehicle should be illegal too?

  2. Re:32 new names on 32 Exoplanets Discovered By Chilean Telescope · · Score: 1

    Well, I'll be pissed if the second habitable planet isn't named "Earf".

  3. Re:Takes one to know one... on DHS Wants To Hire 1,000 Cybersecurity Experts · · Score: 2, Funny

    Someone that responds to the ad.

  4. Re:Does this qualify? on DHS Wants To Hire 1,000 Cybersecurity Experts · · Score: 1

    I dunno, gubment execs are the ones smart enough to think we need DHS as if we didn't have the NSA, CIA or the US Marshals.

    Redundant agencies make our lives more secure. They have no risk of creating additional vulnerabilities in the tiny bureaucracy that is our gubment.

    It is a superposition of useful and unusable data, until you read it.

    Then Thors hammer slams down on the laws of nature, and amid lightning and a mad guitar riff, Murphy's Law and wave form collapse combine into always unusable data.

    Change can be good or bad, here's my top 10 list:

    The Sims/World of Warcraft
    Win95/X .NET

  7. Re:That's what she said on Supreme Court Nominee Sotomayor's Cyberlaw Record · · Score: 1

    You may see a dependent clause, I see a qualifying description of what she views a white male as. From that perspective, her quote is offensively racist which reduces to, "white males cannot serve justice."

    And yet, we have to hire lawyers to read and write all the jargon we could never reasonable understand.

  9. Re:But... on Warrantless GPS Tracking Is Legal, Says WI Court · · Score: 1

    Being different doesn't make one illegal. That's a silly argument.

  10. Re:But... on Warrantless GPS Tracking Is Legal, Says WI Court · · Score: 1

    Secretly chalking your tires to see if you've been parked there for over X minutes? Isn't that the same as secretly attaching a monitoring device (albeit crude) to your property?

  11. Re:But... on Warrantless GPS Tracking Is Legal, Says WI Court · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A police force is not legally constrained by their manforce. That is a physical constraint.

    The use of GPS is consistent with the law, and a smart decision to work around current physical constraints.

    Abusing GPS would be the same as abusing normal 'tailing' techniques. Ie following you around all day until they catch you speeding.

    Or nuclear. It's proven, it's working today, and there's phenomenal amounts of energy.

    When did America become so retarded?

  17. Re:Poor North Korea on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 1

    Instead of being a responsible human, and applying these technologies in useful ways (Orion anyone???), we must fear and dismantle them.

    We have found fire to be much too destructive and have called on all our allies to dismantle their fire-making capabilities. If countries refuse to dismantle their fire-making capabilities, we will be forced into making a STRONG response. We may even STRONGLY encourage said nation to resume 6 party talks, or to sniff my dirty underwear. And if any nation comes to our country carrying fire, we will definitely not like it, and ask them to leave in our most impolite attitude which may also include a STRONG call to resume our 6 party talks, before it is too late and we do something really rash.

  18. Re:Fireworks on North Korea Missile Launch Fails · · Score: 1

    You mean a 3 story tall bottle rocket that can fly over Japan? Yeah, that'd be a rocket, and I guess they could be called "really big fireworks".

    Both are correct. I prefer Inter-Continental Missiles, Ballistic. It makes document filing more practical when dealing with I-C Missiles, Vomit and I-C Missiles, +5 Arrows.

  21. Re:Yeah.. on Universal Remote's Days Are Numbered · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Agreed. Universal remotes also crash less, require less charging, and are more likely to be found near a tv instead of in the pocket of the owner or charging in a different room.

    This article is retarded (as in handicapped, not special).

  22. Re:Creationism... on Want a Science Degree In Creationism? · · Score: 1

    The scientific community is structured to protect current theories, rather than explore new ones. It has it's clergy too, and they are unquestionable. After all, who could be smarter than Einstein, Hawking, or Board Chair number 12?

    Where does the majority of scientific inquiry happen? How is it funded, and who makes that decision? Does that party have any vested interest in current scientific theories that would prevent an objective funding of scientific inquiry?

    There's a reason people are still investigating string theory with the dogma and zeal of a crusader, despite its primary purpose to reconcile a disproven theory with a proven one.
