  1. Re:Time for Global Law on Google Privacy Counsel Facing Criminal Charges · · Score: 1

    The rest of you just need to declare the U.S. as your sovereign then petition for statehood.

    I'm all for it! Bring the us back into U.S. Then er can rape and pillage ourselves instead of everyone else!

  3. Re:Your Corporate Travel Lawyer on Google Privacy Counsel Facing Criminal Charges · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The US *DOES* suffer from businesses that avoid our borders due to the patriot act alone. Most businesses are not excited about opening all their data to our government on merit of it crossing a U.S. boundary alone.

    It makes you wonder how much data enters "the U.S." without ever being near it. Would make for a good conspiracy theory, minus the made up stuff.

  4. Re:What they really mean on Rescued Banks Sought Foreign Help During Meltdown · · Score: 1

    "...couldn't find enough Americans capable of handling sales, lending, and bank administration."

    Sounds like working the counter and middle management to me. Newspaper ad should read, "... high school diploma a plus."

    How do I keep Obama + Congress from handing them money?

    Despite popular and expert opinion, they're just going to keep hyping the doom and steamrolling handouts.

  7. Re:Big deal... on Monster.com Data Stolen, Won't Email Users · · Score: 1

    Spammers and fishers have my login credentials to Monster.com? They also have my preferred e-mail address?

    Do you use a separate username and password for every website you visit? How about the typical monster.com user? How many websites use an e-mail address as a form of authentication (forgot your password? We'll e-mail it to you!)? How many websites do you frequent use your preferred e-mail address as a means of verifying your identity?

    Hate to be an alarmist, but this data is a lot more important than just a set of e-mail addresses to spam.

    I put african american for my race on a resume. I received a phone call, and did a quick interview. At the end of the interview, they were excited for me to come in and meet with them. When they discovered I was white, they said they already had plenty qualified white applicants.

    Equal opportunity = legal racism. I wonder if I can have my race legally changed, heck if you can do it with gender...

  9. Yay for taxes! on Where Automakers Stash Unsold Cars · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So instead of lowering prices to balance demand, they stockpile their goods, layoff their workforce, and petition for a bailout. What do you do when a business only serves their management? Pay them more money of course, God bless America!

    Well they would've said "Hacker Gary McKinnon", but he's white 24/7 and it was technically more accurate. so.. they kind of had their hands tied.

    Seeing as they are the .com owner (and others), you'd have a hard time NOT impacting their DNS servers.

  13. Re:Sounds neat, but I'm confused... on Scientists Teleport Information Between Ions a Meter Apart · · Score: 1

    I just don't get it.

    You "entangle" two atoms creating the qubit. You separate the atoms, then read the qubit?

    Isn't the information already present in the entanglement, prior to the separation? Isn't it like spray-painting two objects red, sending them to opposite parts of the world and then proclaiming you've got a way to teleport information across the world, but can only send one message, "red" ?

    I'm sure with all the hype I must just misunderstand the whole thing.

  14. Re:Its all okay. Nothing to see here. on Black Holes From the LHC Could Last For Minutes · · Score: 1

    These are our first black holes, but based on unconfirmed new ideas in the last decade, we are certain of the outcome.

    After the first nuclear tests, men were given the task of running into ground zero seconds after the explosion to make tests. They all died with the assurance that we understood nuclear physics.

    With the vapor he sold during his campaign, and the fickleness of his once-upon-a-time supporters, I'm surprised people aren't calling for his impeachment already.

    I have never purchased a game after playing the demo.

    But I'm an impulse buyer, typically I play a demo after I own the game, so figure out where I fit in your slashmarket research.

  25. Inaccurate on Caged Wallace · · Score: 1

    A bit much with the creative license if you ask me. I prefer the statue of the lifeless Wallace with his intestines hanging all over the floor and his limbs on other sides of the country. It's hard to tell it's actually Wallace, but after some time, you start to recognize the rib cage.

    Oh, and nice fence.
