  1. Re:Cm'on on Recently Exposed PHP Hole's Official Fix Ineffective · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The answer is Facebook, and I got a job by using this bug against them! see?

  2. Re:Mark Cuban: still clueless on Yahoo's Own Lash Out At Company Over "Weaponized" Patents · · Score: 1

    I agree people don't act as much as we want them to. The thing is that enough people will do something about it to be heard if given motivation from companies they depend on everyday.

    Lets take a look at SOPA / PIPA. Because enough people actually contacted their senators and got media attention, legislators thought twice about their stance.

    The real question is would FB alone be enough to get people to act and get the media coverage they need to influence the legislators? IMO it's doubtful unless something dramatic happened like a service interruption...

  3. Re:Yeah right on Startup Wants To Peek Through Your Home's Wired Cameras · · Score: 1

    if ever there was a post that deserved a 6, this is it.

    Don't be such a glory hog, I personally like the one above yours that says

  4. You're making this too easy Slashdot on Why Politicians Should Never Make Laws About Technology · · Score: 1

    I didn't need to RTFA or RTFS. Just RTFT and you can agree, it's a no brainer...

  5. wait... on Edison Would Have Loved New Light Bulb Law, Says His Great-Grandson · · Score: 1

    And my great-grandfather wouldn't have it any other way.

  6. What I really want to see... on Google Working On Siri Competitor Majel · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does anyone else have the urge to place siri and majel side by side in hopes of reproducing a cleverbot conversation?

  7. Uninstall Process on Sprint Orders All OEMs To Strip Carrier IQ From Their Phones · · Score: 1

    A piece of software will be installed in order to verify the removal of Carrier IQ. This software will remain on the phone to ensure it's never installed again by sending the currently installed software data to the Sprint. Problem solved!

  8. Re:This is preposterous on Google Deal Allegedly Lets UMG Wipe YouTube Videos It Doesn't Own · · Score: 1

    That's nothing I've already posted 9 times in the last hour. Mine were not given a courtesy message like yours...

  9. Delete Slashdot on Judge Orders Man To Delete Revenge Blog · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Some poster called me a crazy conservative, foxnews lovin, right wing republican. I have a right to be free from harassment so that's grounds for deletion. Expect to hear from my lawyers soon Slashdot. Have a nice day.

  10. The Solution on Out of Sight, Out of Mind · · Score: 2

    No doors. When I run my business I want my employees to be ahead of the game. Everything will be open to everyone all the time. There will be no 4 sided objects or anything that even resemble a doorway in fact. My employees will be the best! On an unrelated note, anyone know of an open field for sale in Kansas?

  11. Re:What? on Researchers Teach Subliminally; Matrix Learning One Step Closer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Not going to work. You changed the outcome by learning it.

    We are the 99.65% Occupy Google Maps, spread the... wait...

  14. Crunching the numbers on Human Blood Protein (HSA) From GMO Rice · · Score: 1

    500 tons = 453 592.37 kilograms 1 kilogram rice = 2.75 grams proteins (0.00275 kilograms) That means we will need 164,942,680 kilograms (363,636,364 pounds) of this rice to support the current need. With these odds 0.80% worst case is a bit scary... I do find it cool that they've been able to do this but the extraction ratio will need to be more efficient and, dare I say, safer before it becomes useful.

  15. Re:That's really ironic on Renewable Energy Production Surpasses Nuclear In the US · · Score: 1

    People will believe anything on theonion.com these days. Don't they know that newer wind farms are placed in opposing directions of the current strongest wind forces thus canceling out any effects!?

  16. Re:Stop cooling magma on Iceland Eyes Liquid Magma As Energy Source · · Score: 1

  18. Im a true american! on Laser Blast Makes Regular Light Bulbs Super-Efficient · · Score: 1

    If my light bulb doesn't shine like a 60watt bulb and require the energy of a 100watt bulb, then I want nothing to do with it! God Bless America!

  19. Not prepared at all on Voting Drops 83 Percent In All-Digital Election · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately this is really bad for the propagating of voting technology. They definitely needed to be more prepared before adopting this method.

  20. Toys Control What? on Toys You Control With Your Brain · · Score: 1

    I read "Toys Control Your Brain" Look they've already started controlling my brain by hiding words from me! Worst invention ever!

  22. punching marshmallows.... on Report Claims 95% of Music Downloads Are Illegal · · Score: 1

    Not only is fighting piracy like punching marshmallows, it's like dealing with this one. They'll definitely need to cross their emitted energy streams to kill it off!

    Well with the price tag of this rover, I expect it to outlast the human race! Although I still think it's pretty cool that it's running, Kudos!
