  1. ATM's??? on $30 GPS Jammer Can Wreak Havok · · Score: 1

    Why would an ATM need GPS? Isn't their IP address sufficient? How idiotic to think an ATM
    needs anything else other than a secure, encrypted connection.

    Oh wait, there must be many ATM thieves who take the machines from their original location
      and reconnect them to the grid. LOL

  2. Some people on Can For-Profit Tech Colleges Be Trusted? · · Score: 1

    Some people can make the BEST of what they learned by doing. Many cannot. This is not
    the point I was trying to make. I always appreciate people who need no formal training, they
    tend to do, rather than expect a piece of paper to bolster their abilities, they are the exception, rather than the rule.

  3. All Schools are for some kind of profit on Can For-Profit Tech Colleges Be Trusted? · · Score: 2

    Why would you say something as stupid as that? Did you not pay for your schooling, or do you have no schooling?
    End of story, let us ALL ignore your accomplishments. Sound good?

  4. Re:Paranoia. What Enemy are they refering to? on Bradley Manning Charged With Aiding the Enemy · · Score: 1

    Enemies both real and potential. The definition is broad.

  5. Bradley E. Manning, a former intelligence analyst on Bradley Manning Charged With Aiding the Enemy · · Score: 1

    I am all for people being held responsible for their actions, be it government officials or any one else.
    Manning, a former intelligence analyst, should have known better. End of thought. Sometimes
    intelligence is not what it seems.
    "(2) without proper authority, knowingly harbors or protects or gives intelligence to or communicates or corresponds with or holds any intercourse with the enemy, either directly or indirectly; shall suffer death or such other punishment as a court-martial or military commission may direct."

    When you get a security briefing, such things are made apparent to all. He was apparently not listening or selectively listening. If it
    was the latter, he deserves whatever he gets. If it was the former, he is not a candidate for the kitchen police. How did this person
    get any clearance? Should not the people who granted this clearance be held accountable also, on an equal basis?

  6. Businesses trying to tell us what to do on Supreme Court Rules On Corporate Privacy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sadly, most elected officials do not realize, that we the People, ALLOW these businesses to do business in our country.
    Just like they think they lead us, when the words lead, leader and leadership, do not exist in the U.S. Constitution.

    The tail shall not wag the dog. End of story. Get out and vote against these idiots! It is your DUTY as an informed
    electorate.

  7. I am not sure who these people are on IT Graduates Not "Well-Trained, Ready-To-Go" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I suspect bean counting HR types are driving the data. They are seldom technically proficient enough
    to have a clue.
    Getting IT people with decent job history and programmers with the same is not going to
    happen for $20.00 per hour or 40 K per year.

  8. Commerce Department's inspector general on Scientists Cleared of Misusing Global Warming Data · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Says it all, people more interested in business and money, over facts, no matter how distasteful.
    Fox guarding the hen house? You bet.

  9. Anthropomorphizing on Iceland Eyes Liquid Magma As Energy Source · · Score: 3, Insightful

    People who like to think they are 'green' , often try to imbue inanimate objects with living traits.
    It is pretty sad they have no real concepts about the most basic issues. Sure, there are some
    lifeforms on Earth, but that does not make the planet living, it is merely dynamic.

  10. Also on Iceland Eyes Liquid Magma As Energy Source · · Score: 0

    Volcanic eruptions, why invite disaster?

  11. Does Anyone really care? on Is Algeria Deleting Facebook Accounts? · · Score: -1

    North Africa is full of script kiddies and trojan dumping douchebags.
    Why even allow these people any Internet access? Are you all just
    a bunch of liberal Nigerian wannabe's? North Africa has nothing the world wants.
    Do you want depleted oil reserves, or sand? Have any of you ever been there?
    I have, and they are unimpressive as a culture or a people. Morocco? Tunisia?
    Algeria? Egypt? Lybia? (I have not been to Libya) I totally useless region of the world.

    Whining apologists always feel certain countries need Internet. They need food, jobs
    and anything BUT the Internet. You liberal asses need to spend money and actually
    visit those places before you open your collective mouths!

  12. Here is the crux of the situation on Insider-Trading Suspects Smash Hard Drive Evidence · · Score: -1

    They claim you destroyed evidence, but since it was destroyed, they cannot know if it was evidence unless they Planted it there
    or copied it and failed to act in a timely manner. They are the ones who have to answer, not you.

  13. Using resources on 61.9% of Undergraduates Cybercheat · · Score: -1

    By using resources, without proper attribution, may be cheating. That being said, research is exactly that , but with proper attribution.
    Stealing words without giving proper credit is the sign of a lazy mind, or a cheater. The professor makes that determination, just like
    in real life. Sad, huh?

  14. So what? on EA Simulation Correctly Picked Super Bowl Champs in September · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Not news for nerds, news for Jocks.

  15. If people belive psuedoscience on New Mexico Bill To Protect Anti-Science Education · · Score: 0

    They need to disavow any and ALL benefits of science! NO computers, cell phones, not anything beyond the
    hunter gather mode. No medicine, nothing related to any benefit of science. Or they need to STFU.

    These idiots are sheeple following what sounds good to them, without the brains evolution gave them.
    I volunteer them to be the first people sacrificed to their pseudoscience gods! Anyone with me?

    I'd use the kill switch to blockade Nevada from the rest of the world. Hurry before they change their
    moronic minds ...

  16. Re:Genetic on Hackers Penetrate Nasdaq Computer Networks · · Score: 1

    I am not !!!!! I may be in a week or two.

  17. Simple on Prison Cell Phone Smuggling Out of Control · · Score: 0

    Kill anyone holding, having or transporting ANYTHING prohibited. The person carrying or the intended recipient. Kill any
    guard or screener who allows contraband into the prison. It will calm down shortly.

    They are in prison mostly for a reason.

  18. Did not read on Israeli Company Trains Security Mice · · Score: 0

    Now they need similar cats for when the mice get out of hand.

    I cannot reach the article, how do the mice 'alert' to explosives?
    Push the bar on the panel to receive food, thus setting off an alarm?

  19. Well on Kaspersky Source Code In the Wild · · Score: 0

    This may lead to a better version, but I think not. Dr. Kaspersky is much better than most at detecting stuff than most. False positives included.
    McLaughee and Norton are douche bags across the board. Tireless self-promoters as it were. Now if Frans Veldman would ressurect ThundetByte.
    We can only hope.

  20. Sure they did on Did the Chinese Military Use Top Gun Footage? · · Score: -1

    This is an OLD Digg, stop posting this crap!!!! Niggers. The Chinese have NO respect for intellectual property. THEY
    NEED TO BE CUT OFF FROM THE INTERNET! Much like Egyptians !!! NIGGERS! Those who fail, fail, those of us
    who KNOW say NIGGERS !!!

    Slashdot needs to have an "I told you so" feature, in as much I am more often right than wrong. NIGGERS !!!

  21. Mustafa Fteja on Facebook-Deprived Man Sues For $500K · · Score: 0

    Is obviously an Albanian terrorist? What else could he be? Perhaps an non-native English speaker?
    Maybe, but he is a whiner none the less.

    He needs removed from the internet totally. I just un-friended him!!!

  22. well on Has China Already Flown a Space Plane? · · Score: 0

    "prototype aircraft that can fly through the atmospheric layer" do not all planes do that???

  23. Think of medical data on Internet Kill Switch Back On the US Legislative Agenda · · Score: 0

    Then say you cannot hurt anyone by witholding data. May you need recent medical data relevant to your
    surgery, and not be able to get it. THEN talk that talk.

  24. WTF on Teachers Back Away From Evolution In Class · · Score: 0

    How can people deny the science behind any form of reality? Creationists, stop all modern stuff, no medical or technological stuff.
    Be a hunter/ gatherer and rescind ALL modern stuff. Seriously! Die or go away. Grow your own sustinence and eschew all modern stuff.

    Please.

  25. LOL on Hackers Bringing Telnet Back · · Score: 0
