  1. Re:gray area? on Why 'Cyber Crime' Should Just Be Called 'Crime' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In other places it may be grand theft auto, plus circumvention of an access control device (DMCA) with keys that have software chips in them.

  2. Re:While i like the reference, utilitarian reality on Texas Supreme Court Cites Mr. Spock · · Score: 1

    That's OK I'd sacrifice you to get hooked up with 2 lesbians as well. Actually I'd sacrifice you to save all those other groups of people.

  3. Re:Ok... on Diablo 3 Hands-On · · Score: 1

    I did that during D2 a lot. Everyone hated me because I was always the Necromancer running around with maxed skeletons and cause everyone's 14.4 modem to DC.

  4. Re:Not sure I'll buy it. on Diablo 3 Hands-On · · Score: 1

    Did you survey every single one of their customers and use a lie detector or something?

    Yes every one of their paying customers who continue to pay are finding likable value out of the games Blizzard produces.

    Unless that corporation saw some profits drop and made some generous donations to his church. Then Jesus would suddenly like them.

    you miss context "...if you are men of the State, and gladly enjoy the advantages of Caesar's government, then pay him back some of his own when he demands it;"

    What if I don't gladly enjoy the advantages of the state?

    the NPR party?

  8. Re:My suitcase always gets opened on British Airways Chief Slams US Security Requests · · Score: 4, Funny

    I haven't done it yet, but I've always thought it would be fun to cut aluminum foil out in the shape of a hand gun and put it in a friends book just before they were going on a trip.

    Come on, it's not a good practical joke unless it breaks up a life long friendship or marriage or someone ends up in the hospital or jail.

  9. Re:Empire was not the best of the movies. on The Empire Strikes Back Vader Costume For Sale · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I mostly agree, and am a bigger than most star wars fan. Some might say much bigger. Empire seems to be one of the few that I fall asleep while watching. I find it to be one of the better played but less interesting or fun of the 3 originals. If that makes any sense.

    You just Bushified the conversationalism.

  11. Re:"Integrated" sounds better on Steve Jobs Lashes Out At Android · · Score: 1

    Interesting that I read Slashdot and just wanted something that would just work. I was actually a little bit afraid to take the plunge due to the way everyone here talks but it was my non-technical wife that said she wanted a droid x, so I got two figuring I'd have to work through all the issues and help her out on things. Turns out everything "just worked" she hasn't asked me to do anything for it yet. I thought Apple had a trade mark on "just working."

  12. Re:"Integrated" sounds better on Steve Jobs Lashes Out At Android · · Score: 1

    Damn those consumers demanding useful stuff. And those evil capitalists that provide useful stuff.

  13. Re:I'd love to see on Switzerland's Mega Tunnel Sets Record · · Score: 1

    instead you got a boring machine.

    (after typing that i realized that you were probably being sarcastic and making the same joke, but decided to post it anyway.)

  14. Uhh ohh on Recently Discovered Habitable World May Not Exist · · Score: 3, Funny

    Uhh ohh, I think the earthlings are looking our way, quick hide!!

    Crap they saw us. Keep hiding maybe they'll go away.

  15. Re:U have to be a fool to buy a volt on GM Criticized Over Chevy Volt's Hybrid Similarities · · Score: 1

    i think you left out a few of the inefficiencies, you don't hook up ICE -> wheels, there's transmissions, torque converters and drive trains in there as well. While still probably not better, going from ICE -> Generator -> Motor -> hub -> wheels may be close to as good as ICE -> Torque converter -> transmission -> drive line -> Diff -> more drive line -> hub -> wheel

  16. Re:Who will be able to use these on eLEGS Exoskeleton Allows Paraplegics To Walk · · Score: 1

    Simulation of bowl movements

    Oh, there it is in the headline hiding in front of LEGS. Grab it before it runs off.

    A sufficiently heated apple fanboi is indistinguishable from sarcasm.

    Which are you?

    Well, the first step would be to use Google.

    An Android phone it is then. Thanks for the suggestion.

  19. Re:Well Duh on Firefighters Let House Burn Because Owner Didn't Pay Fee · · Score: 1

    This is how choosing to risk your house burning down for a measly $75 a YEAR! Can come back to bite you.

    Nice try, taking a stab at Libertarianism though. You probably convinced a few people.

  20. Re:Well Duh on Firefighters Let House Burn Because Owner Didn't Pay Fee · · Score: 1

    RTFA? I know it's slashdot but the charge was $75, he did not pay it, he did not get fire protection. It's simple. His neighbor paid it, the fire department was there to make sure it didn't spread to his house.

  21. Re:Hmm..interesting on Microsoft IE Browser Share Dips Below 50% · · Score: 1

    How about rewording it: "Despite the pathetic attempts of competitors, the great Microsoft still has nearly 50% of the total browser market. With it's next nearest competitor only a bit over half of that."

    There now it's not a negative Microsoft story.

  22. Re:No, not worse than the old boss on White House Pressuring Registrars To Block Sites · · Score: 2, Funny

    No! no! we need a really big government to protect those civil liberties for us from being infringed upon by big govern.....ohh now I get it.

  23. Re:No, not worse than the old boss on White House Pressuring Registrars To Block Sites · · Score: 1

    And if a somewhat similar candidate loses by that 10% it's not a bad thing. if candidate you don't like wins with 41% candidate you agree with on a few things loses with 40% candidate you really agree with loses with 9% Perhaps mister 40% should reevaluate why that other 9% didn't like him. Or even just 2% of them and change his views. Or perhaps mister 40% party should run someone that appeals to them all.

  24. Re:A catalyst for world peace on Fifty Meter Asteroid Might Hit Earth In 2098 · · Score: 1

    It's paraphrased from the movie or comic "Watchmen" In the movie the rally point was Dr. Manhattan which actually made more sense then the original comic being some new random alien squid thing.
