  1. Those "racist comments" were released in the video, which resulted in the loss of said job. Whatever he was making before, he's not making now, because of the video.

  2. Re:They had a warrant... on An FBI Hacking Campaign Targeted Over a Thousand Computers (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    They took over a known child pornography site, and continued to operate it. They used an existing service (not set up a new one) and monitored existing users (nothing about enticing new ones). I don't see this as being hugely different from sitting outside an business known for selling drugs, and writing down the info of everybody who goes in, or tapping the lines, and recording phone numbers. Further they got a warrant to do exactly that.

  3. Breakin' the law, breakin' the law on Drone Ban Extends 30 Miles Around DC, Per FAA (wusa9.com) · · Score: 2

    Seems likely the only thing this is going to do is make a lot of people law breakers.

  4. Re:I'm 8 hours in on "Fallout 4" Release Raises Questions About Reviews of Buggy Games (kotaku.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Either way it's going to be a bunch of crazies waving things around and talking about the end of life as we know it!

  5. Re:Privacy on Inside the Failure of Google+ · · Score: 1

    Leaving on the lid undermines the idea that the frog is making a choice to stay in the pot.

  6. Re:Why the Secret Service did what they did. on Interviews: Ask Steve Jackson About Designing Games · · Score: 1

    Slight correction: Steve Jackson Game's line editor was also talking to a number of known hackers. Still REALLY stupid, but a little less stupid than just talking to a reporter.

  7. New Autoduel? on Interviews: Ask Steve Jackson About Designing Games · · Score: 1

    Autoduel on the Apple IIe was my gateway in to a lifetime of joyous experiences involving a number of geeky board games and models. First was Car Wars, followed by Battletech, Warhammer 40K, and so on. I've always loved Car Wars, but it really feels like the complex physics and movement mechanics in the game can best be simulated via the computer. Have you had any success getting modern video game companies interested in doing a new version? PS. Had the honor of meeting you at a convention about 10 years ago, it was a real treat, nice to find out that some of your heroes are pretty decent folks in real life.

  8. Re:bundle on Ask Toolbar Now Considered Malware By Microsoft · · Score: 1

    It's not far wrong. GWT is a plague, even if it's not technically malware per se.

  9. Re:Fuelless on Fuel Free Spacecrafts Using Graphene · · Score: 2

    I hear there are DnD forums on the internet.....

  10. Re:Not surprised on Reddit Imposes Ban On Sexual Content Posted Without Permission · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Free Speech provision of the constitution covers government, not private, censorship. Further, you've never been guaranteed freedom from the consequences of said speech, like having it removed because it's unpopular.

  11. Re:Unequal application of the law on EFF: Hundreds of S. Carolina Prisoners Sent To Solitary For Social Media Use · · Score: 1
  12. Re:oh boy! on Tech Recruiters Defend 'Blacklists,' Lack of Feedback, Screening Techniques · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hmmm replies to a post about how the grandparent doesn't have DB experience with a DB joke. Sure you're not a recruiter? :)

  13. Re:Next step - beer! on Irish Girls Win Google Science Fair With Astonishing Crop Yield Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Budweiser. Not strictly a "rice" beer, but it's definitely one of the adjuncts.

  14. Re:Startup? on Lyft's New York Launch Halted By Restraining Order · · Score: 1

    When it's left the cute and precious stage?

  15. Re:Died Outside a Tesla on The First Person Ever To Die In a Tesla Is a Guy Who Stole One · · Score: 1

    Yet is the operative term here. Sooner or later you dance with the reaper.

  16. Re:Died Outside a Tesla on The First Person Ever To Die In a Tesla Is a Guy Who Stole One · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wouldn't this apply to all Tesla owners?

  17. Won't Somebody Think of the Neurotics! on Google's Experimental Newsroom Avoids Negative Headlines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Without the usual diet of bad stuff happening what will they use to feed their various fears and neuroses?

  18. I'm Okay With It on Ask Slashdot: Tech Customers Forced Into Supporting Each Other? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This sort of thing has been going on for years, probably as long as there have been companies and products. Can't get X to work, maybe your neighbor can, why not ask? In the case of software and other technical products, it really costs the company little to setup a forum, so why not? Also the people doing the supporting are completely volunteer, and are compensated in a feeling of helping others. If they don't want to participate, then they can stop at any time.

  19. Re:Not possible on Face Masks Provide Chinese With False Hope Against Pollution · · Score: 1

    Sadly they're supposedly not saving much money doing this either.

  20. Re:Vive le Galt! on Mt. Gox Gone? Apparent Theft Shakes Bitcoin World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What part of the current system do you think is fair, and gets resources to the most in need? It does a great job of moving resources around, and storing value, but nothing about it is fair, balanced, or guarantees distribution to the places best or helpful for society.

    Clear out bad moderation on my part, please ignore.

    At 2 billion a year, I doubt it's easier to pay them.

    SGI IS the dinosaur.

  24. Re:Let me guess on Shutdown Cost the US Economy $24 Billion · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Yes, because both sides are always equal in culability. Just some random examples off the top of my head: Mugger/Muggee, Murder/Murdered, Rapist, Rape Victim. Yulp, definitely a LOT of blame to go around....
