  1. Yup, on UK Internet Porn Blocking Rejected · · Score: 1

    that's what the internet is for.

  2. The mayans where half-right on Google's Image Search Now Requires Explicit Queries For Explicit Results · · Score: 2

    Fixed Google reply: "We are censoring your adult results."

  3. The control fanatics finally won on ITU Approves Deep Packet Inspection · · Score: 1

    So,
    Stop SOPA! Done.
    Stop ACTA! Done.
    Stop ITU...? Oups.

    We missed a letter-combo. Well played.

  4. +Bitcoins on Newzbin2 Closes For Good · · Score: 2

    So what's wrong. Isn't 10% of users still a gain from 0% to 10% ?

  5. Scale down on Newzbin2 Closes For Good · · Score: 1

    Curb your enthusiasm. Lower your expectations. Maybe they should try scaling down rather than pull the plug and give up.

  6. Unpaid moderator here on Google's Manual For Its Unseen Human Raters · · Score: 1

    Hey Slashdot! Why am i moderating for free, eh? Shoooow meeeeeee the monay!!!

  7. NES 8 bit obviously on Ask Slashdot: Best Console For the Kids This Holiday? · · Score: 2

    Tell the kids NOT to give up until they've beaten SMB1, SMB3, and LifeForce. At least.
    It's like spelling, and math - everyone should do it.

    Then we're on to PC: Doom2, and then Quake1. It's ok to use OpenGL.
    Then:
    StarCraft1
    Diablo2
    Half-Life1 (BlackMesa is ok)
    UnrealTournament1 with Hi Res Pack
    etc.

    First Person Shooters are important for learning that no matter how good you are,
    you will always die by some lucky headshot from across half the map. And
    from this they *know* that the actual Military is just a shortcut to an earlier grave.
    So if anyone asks, say it's a health thing that increases the lifespan.

  8. Too expensive. on Media Center Key Accidentally Gives Pirates Free Windows 8 Pro License · · Score: 1

    Windows8 wasn't much of an update at all - many features where removed, few added. And it was a living hell to use.

  9. Voyager found them on What "Earth-Shaking" Discovery Has Curiosity Made on Mars? · · Score: 1

    Voyager season 3 episode 23
    https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Distant_Origin

    A good-enough Voyager episode that i actually enjoyed.

  10. Quicker HTTPS on Facebook Switching To HTTPS By Default · · Score: 1

    A few things that may help on Palemoon and Firefox :

      Make sure SSL pages gets cached,
    browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl;true

      Pipeline the SSL too,
    network.http.pipelining.ssl;true

      TorBrowser uses this,
    security.ssl.enable_false_start;true

      And as always, reduce some traffic bloat,
    dom.storage.enabled;false
    gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled;false
    browser.chrome.image_icons.max_size;16
    general.useragent.override;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:9.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0

      If you want, at the cost of stickier browser-fingerprint,
    image.http.accept;*

  11. No, it's win-win! on Pirate Party MEP Helps Draft New Credit Card Company Controls · · Score: 1

    Wikileaks becomes better when working with journalists. And journalism becomes better with leaks from Wikileaks.

  12. Ummm, on NASA Discovers Most Distant Galaxy In Known Universe · · Score: 4, Funny

    I love to hear more about this 'big bag' theory.

  13. Seems like, on NASA Discovers Most Distant Galaxy In Known Universe · · Score: 2

    ...really old news to me.

    nothing.

  15. Political prisoner on In Mississippi: 15-Year Jail Sentence For Selling Pirated Movies and Music · · Score: 2

    Regardless of the law, this cruel punishment seems very much like it has a political agenda.
    So in my view, Patrick Lashun King is a political prisoner.

  16. Re:Yep. "Nice TLD you've got there, Gabon..." on Gabon Suspends Me.ga Domain, Dotcom Says "We Have Alternative Domain" · · Score: 1

    For every action there may come an opposite reaction...

    Nah, i'm not a DDoS fan. But it would be informative to dig out and reveal the individuals or groups of
    persons responsible for the unreasonable takedown.

  17. Adware on Microsoft's Hidden Windows 8 Feature: Ads · · Score: 1

    Microsoft Windows is now adware, in addition to beeing just payware and bloatware.

  18. old Windows Messenger on Microsoft Retiring Messenger, Replacing It With Skype · · Score: 2

    The original, simply called 'Windows Messanger' that comes default on XP Pro no-ads, and slim on memory.

    Old Skype v4 Pro still works i hope...
    http://www.oldversion.com/Skype-for-Business.html
    What's the oldest working Skype version?

    Does anyone knows any more ok IMs...?
    o Portable
    o Low-resources 1-2M RAM
    o Encrypted by default

  19. Re:Peace on Ralph Nader Moderates One Last 3rd-Party Debate for 2012 · · Score: 1

    Each vote for a so-called "third-candidate" is also a vote *less* on the DemReps. It's a win-win.

  20. Control vs Freedom on European Central Bank Casts Wary Eye Toward Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    The Euro experiment has been tried - it mostly failed. Time for a p2p world currency to give it a try...

  21. Doh! on EFF And Others Push For Open Wifi APs Everywhere · · Score: 0

    I don't have any WiFi - maybe i should dangle a few network cables out my window...

  22. Pfff, 64bit ARM. Crusoe was 256bit x86 on ARM Announces 64-Bit Cortex-A50 Architecture · · Score: 1

    http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmeta#Crusoe

    Anyway, i welcome our new ARM-64 overlords.

  23. Re:Shocking on Yahoo Will Ignore IE 10's "Do Not Track" · · Score: 1

    I agree with Microsoft that Tracking should be OFF by default. And then allow people to *choose* their privacy.

    (I agree with Microsoft - and now i know what it's like in the Twilight-zone)

  24. PoliticalCompass.org The US Election 2012 on Third Party Debates Moderated by Larry King: Discuss · · Score: 1

    Here's a neat map of all candidates,
    http://politicalcompass.org/uselection2012

    (Ron Paul was almost exactly where Gary Johnson is)

  25. Re:third parties have no chance in the USA on Third Party Debates Moderated by Larry King: Discuss · · Score: 1

    "third parties have no chance in the USA" ...with that attitude, the US itself has no chance. The DemRep-cartel sucks until they gets 100% of all wealth and power.

    Voting for anyone else sends a clear and loud message that real change can eventually happen.
