  1. Makes sense on Half of GitHub Code Unsafe To Use (If You Want Open Source) · · Score: 1

    Makes sense, supposed your coding style is rather... /** BUY CHEAP PENIS REPLICA */ ...marketing-oriented.

  2. More news on Critic Cites Revenge of the Sith As "Generation's Greatest Work of Art · · Score: 1

    More news from Duckburg at 11...

  3. In a completely unrelated way on Artificial Muscles Pack a Mean Punch · · Score: 1

    The sky above the harbour does have the color of a TV set turned on a dead channel, today.

  4. Re: Toshiba to Customers: Drop dead. on Toshiba Pursues Copyright Claim Against Laptop Manual Site · · Score: 1

    Not really. I ve always been very content with their products. My 10 year old M30 still exists as a backup system and is still quite useable. But their hard nosed policies against OSS and even undocumented hardware DRM made me switch to Lenovo and never come back.

  5. The net is unsafe on The Web Won't Be Safe Or Secure Until We Break It · · Score: 1

    The net is unsafe because it's full of idiots. That's why the rest of us needs to become complete morons, too. And use "apps" with just one button. Because two buttons are not stupid enough! Two buttons are smarter than one! So one button is not so smart!! Great plan! So logical. I am with you. Now, where's that #*'&%! button, again?

  6. He's a cartoonist, after all on The Privacy Illusion · · Score: 1

    I really like Scott Adams - but you should always take in account that he is a cartoonist. Even if he's trying to be objective, he's still using a lot of hybris and he'll always describe things in an awkward way. That's what makes him great at his job. I don't say he isn't basically right, he's just a bit drastic in his analogies.

  7. Gongrats from Europe on Barack Obama Retains US Presidency · · Score: 4, Funny

    So we don't have to liberate you - for now...

  8. Re:Illegal on Building the Ultimate Safe House · · Score: 1

    Woohoo! I am a mastermind living in an inflamable, undestructible super-house! I RULE! So does pretty much everyone else in town, since 10" firewalls are mandatory here. Which does not matter, because the good old Northern European outside brick wall is 36.5cm (~15"). But believe it or not - this crap still burns nicely. Even medieval towns with really massive stone walls burned down regularly, until modern zoning laws, wide, straight main streets and fire brigades came up.

  9. Have fun on The Passing of the Personal Computer Era · · Score: 2

    Have fun creating audio/visual content and software on your tablets... Buzzwords and marketing blah ("the passing of...", "a new era...", "groundbreaking, industry leading...") however might work well.

  10. I seem to have missed the real camp on Why WikiLeaks' Spinoff OpenLeaks Failed · · Score: 1

    Hippies, "burning man" and heavy storms (190mph - I can't remember a single storm of this strength in this area, ever. And I happen to live there.) I must have been to the wrong camp, last year. The camp that I remember was so full of arrogant wanna-be hackers and carreer hipsters desperately looking for someone to honour their self-importance that I left the second day. Somebody writing for Wired, however, might have fit in perfectly... The whole hackerspace hype and popularisation of the hacker myth IMHO had a more devastating impact on the scene than all the 1990s hysteria and anti-hacker-legistlation of the last ten years.

  11. Re:WTF are you talking about? on Germany's Former First Lady Sues Google · · Score: 2

    Fuckyeah! And everyone in Germany is proud about Bettina Wu... no, wait - what was the question, again?

  12. Proxy Wars on Gottfrid Svartholm Warg Arrested In Cambodia · · Score: 1

    We have always not been at war with Sweden.

  13. Ha! Ve have always told you zat on Twitter Jokes: Free Speech On Trial · · Score: 1

    Ve have always told you zat ze Britisch have no humour! At all! Ha-Ha!

  14. Trichinellas! on Ask Slashdot: What Should a Unix Fan Look For In a Windows Expert? · · Score: 1

    There won't be treasure in there, I guess...

  15. Re:Ohrly? on Microsoft's Sneak Attack On Apple: SkyDrive, Not Surface · · Score: 1

    Lawsuits and probably retaliatory banning of itunes from all Win devices. MS isn't some shoestring app. developer.

    How is Windows going to keep me from installing an application - iTunes or not?

    (Disclosure: I don't have iTunes installed anywhere and I'll never install it. But I insist on being able to install even iTunes if I feel like it.)

  16. Re:A Review? on Windows 8 Is 'a Work of Art.' But It's No Linux · · Score: 2

    You're probably right. On the other hand - if we had had more rational-or-not discussions about Gnome 3, the Linux desktop might be in a less desolate state than it is now.

  17. Your Hairdresser's on Ask Slashdot: Where To Report Script Kiddies and Other System Attacks? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but the answer is ..."kind of". SANS have an incident reporting framework, but I don't think they care much -or at all- about trivial attacks like SSH bruteforcing. Nor should you do. Just set up public key authentification, turn off password-based logins and forget about it.

  18. Re:Wow. That's almost as bad as... on Malaysian Cyber Cafe Owners Liable For Patron Behavior · · Score: 1

    Co-disturber-liability?

    hehehe, not bad. Doesn't sound much weirder than the original word.

  19. Re:Wow. That's almost as bad as... on Malaysian Cyber Cafe Owners Liable For Patron Behavior · · Score: 1

    No chance. They actually seem to be busy "reforming" themselves into oblivion,

  20. Wow. That's almost as bad as... on Malaysian Cyber Cafe Owners Liable For Patron Behavior · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ...Germany. Seriously. There's a particular term in German Legalese, "Mitstörerhaftung" (don't expect me to translate that) which in simple words means: if it's tracked back to your account or found on your site, you're held liable. This applies to open (or not "decently" secure) access points, internet forums, blogs and frequently leads to website owners being sued and -of course- to any account found to be guilty of file-sharing. Any effort to get rid of this anachronism (said jurisdiction is mostly a relic from the analog age) has proven to be in vain: there's way too much easy cash for way too many lawyers in it and our parliament (as pretty much any parliament in the western world) consists mostly from lawyers...

  21. Re:CPU on IBM Mainframe Running World's Fastest Commercial Processor · · Score: 1

    Why does the article not mention the name of the CPU? Is only its clock speed faster, or also its execution? Can we also use this CPU in consumer computers or is this for IBM Mainframes?

    No. They obviously want to profit from high speed trading.

  22. Re:Why bother? on Photo Reveals UK Plan: "Assange To Be Arrested Under All Circumstances" · · Score: 1

    I think you're vastly inflating his importance to anyone outside the wikileaks/Assange fan club.

    ...also known as "everyone except the US military".

  23. Gnome3 doesn't have "issues" on Designer Jon McCann: "More Optimistic About GNOME Than In a Long Time" · · Score: 1

    it just smells funny.

  24. Re:Checkmate. on Kasparov Arrested By Russian Police · · Score: 1

    You mean "FSB-chess"?

  25. Re:He REALLY pissed off governments.... on UK Authorities Threaten To Storm Ecuadorian Embassy To Arrest Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    Have you ever heard the word "Falkland"?
