  1. Re:That's what backups are for on Samsung Smartphones Vulnerable To Remote Wipe Hack · · Score: 1

    Isn't that exactly what's supposed to happen? First toilet-dropping, then wipe?

  2. The commission is blatantly against democracy on ACTA Rejected By European Parliament · · Score: 1

    "...will consider bringing it back before the Parliament." Who do they think they're dealing with, Ireland?

  3. Re:GPS? on No Tech Panacea For Tech-Distracted Driving · · Score: 0

    Yes, 911? I'm in the trunk of a car, I was kidnapped at gunpoint! I think we're heading towards... HELLO?? HELLO?!! [phone function turned off, you appear to be driving, have a nice day!]

  4. "But what do you do?" (NB: Not a trolling attempt) on Canadian Agency Investigates US Air Crash · · Score: -1, Troll

    You assume the FAA and NTSB can investigate the incident objectively? No? Sheesh, can the US become more of a third world country? I guess they can refuse to investigate unless they get paid by an "interested party", but that's about it. Seriously? You can't investigate objectively because the people involved were in your organisation? What would happen if a medical doctor ever became hurt by another doctor? Send them to Canada?

  5. Translation on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Monitor Traffic? · · Score: 1

    "my client needs easily read evidence (Such as text or screenshots) he can use as proof in discussion with his family to try and intercede in any potentially harmful transactions." You don't need "proof" in a real discussion. Also, by the time you've captured and read any proof, it's already too late to "intercede harmful transactions". Translation: "I casually mention 'client' so many times I probably don't have one. How do I spy on my family without the need to actually talk to them?" (Also: Isn't (currently-plummeting) Facebook and others moving towards default-encryption?)

  6. Re:Seems typical, actually. on Yahoo Board Director Patti Hart Stepping Down Over Thompson Scandal · · Score: 1

    Whooosh! (also: from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden "Golden means made of, or relating to gold."

  7. Re:Seems typical, actually. on Yahoo Board Director Patti Hart Stepping Down Over Thompson Scandal · · Score: 2

    Golden (19.3 g/cm3) parachute? Is that anything like concrete floaties?

  8. Re:synchronised Donkey Kong on Frogger Synchronized To Real-Life Traffic · · Score: 1

    Then you just didn't insult them enough.

  9. Term clarification, please on Open Source Project Licenses Trending Toward Open Rather than Free · · Score: 5, Funny

    Free as in beer, or open as in... beer?

  10. Re:Either Hulu or $15/mo, not both on Technology Makes It Harder To Save Money · · Score: 1

    I have Hulu, it's actually not that hard to get outside of the US, although I prefer the "ad-free swedish edition" ;-)

  11. Re:you can save a ton of $ on Technology Makes It Harder To Save Money · · Score: 2

    Sweden, student discount, although the approximately same price is possible for non-students if your house / building has access to an open network, and the price is only slightly higher (~20-25$) for 100/100. I'd change ISP in a heartbeat, but I don't have any other option with faster upload, plus the only other option I have goes through POTS (vdsl2) and requires you to _rent_ the modem and still isn't any faster, only more expensive.

  12. Re:you can save a ton of $ on Technology Makes It Harder To Save Money · · Score: 1

    I get 100 megabit (in reality ~14MB) down, and 10 megabit (~1.45MB) up. Although the speed varies a little, it very rarely goes below 95% of nominal max, and is usually slightly above the max-speed I pay for.

  13. Re:you can save a ton of $ on Technology Makes It Harder To Save Money · · Score: 1

    +1, agreeing to everything above, including the figures (exactly the same amounts for all four), except I don't do DVD rental, I hate physical media. I got a very strange Fight club feeling until I read that last line...

  14. Re:Anyone want to translate this into dummy speak? on Major OpenSSL Security Issue Found (and Fixed) · · Score: 1
  15. Re:You're a long way from a proof, buddy on Japanese Researchers Create A Crab-Based Computer · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're just being shellfish

  16. Re:Buttholes! Buttholes! Buttholes! Levodopa! on Here's What Facebook Sends the Cops In Response To a Subpoena · · Score: 5, Funny

    This calls for a new alternative mod point, "+1 Poetic"

  17. Re:Why all the military terms? on The Many Names of Linux Kernels · · Score: 0

    Yes, I'm blushing, no need to mention the purpose of the preview button... :-/

  18. Why all the military terms? on The Many Names of Linux Kernels · · Score: 1

    The "general part of linux os", with it's "major revisions", is called "the kernel"? What's next, private development? And the dvcs is called "git", 'nough said.
    "Military justice is to justice what military music is to music" -- Groucho Marx

  19. Insightful translation on The Privatization of Copyright Lawmaking · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In swedish, SOPA means garbage.

  20. Re:(Insert XKCD reference here) on The Software Patent Debate Is Incorrectly Framed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hereby inserted: http://xkcd.com/435/

  21. Kindle touch* 3G** on Amazon Disables 3G Web Browsing For New 3G Kindle Touch · · Score: -1, Troll

    * No touch
    ** No 3G

  22. The password is: on WikiLeaks Sues the Guardian Over Leak · · Score: 1

    ACollectionOfDiplomaticHistorySince_1966_ToThe_PresentDay#

  23. Re:I'm on it! on There's Been a Leak At WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    After seeing your page, I'm thinking there's a chance you might be incompetent and might not protect things correctly. I'm registering http://www.wikileaksleaksleaks.org/ as we speak ;-)

  24. Re:version inflation on Linux Kernel 3.1 RC 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Less than eight years, actually. "A Linux kernel by any other version would smell as sweet".

  25. First movie to be burned onto one of these? on Start-Up Claims Immortality For Data With 'Stone-Like' Disc · · Score: 1

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049833/ I'll be here all week, try the veal!
