  1. Re:To require? on Government To Require Vehicle-to-vehicle Communication · · Score: 1

    "To require" and "to propose" are two different things.

    And to get passed is yet a third.

    Then to not have struck down by the Supreme Court is still a forth.

    And to get hacked and disabled is a fifth.

  2. Re:It's coming, whether Google likes it or not. on Through a Face Scanner Darkly · · Score: 1

    This would come in handy if you were searching for, say, somebody named Sarah Connor.

  3. Re:How they were detected on Press Used To Print Millions of US Banknotes Seized In Quebec · · Score: 1

    The counterfeiters accidentally printed "$22.15" on each bill.

  4. Re:The greatest cyberweapons are... on In an Age of Cyber War, Where Are the Cyber Weapons? · · Score: 1

    They are the sleeper cells of cyber warfare.

  5. Until somebody finds a zero-day bug in the firewall.

    Uh...GMail *is* a client.

  7. Re: Get a real mail account on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Misdirected Email? · · Score: 1

    Until the RIAA accuses you of piracy and the Feds seize your domain.

  8. Re: Hopefully correct but will wait for verificati on Kazakh Professor Claims Solution of Another Millennium Prize Problem · · Score: 1

    Or the elusive -0.

  9. Re: B.S. For funding on Researchers Develop "Narrative Authentication" System · · Score: 1

    If only I had a small electronic device on my person that contained a calendar and the ability to automatically remind me of upcoming events.

  10. Re:For example... on Source Code For 22nd IOCCC Winners Has Been Released · · Score: 1

    But if you remove the comments, how will the code know what it's supposed to do?

  11. Re:Not the algorithm we need on How Machine Learning Can Transform Online Dating · · Score: 1

    I've dated people the algorithm would consider too attractive for me, which is why I will continue to avoid algorithms when dating.

  12. Re:So? on Public Domain Day 2014 · · Score: 1

    I think you mean E. E. Cummings; "e.e. cummings" is a poet's lazy misspelling.

  13. Re:Obvious, but worth restating. on Not All Bugs Are Random · · Score: 1

    Cosmic rays can flip bits.

  14. Re:1080p for code? pfff on Rise of the Super-High-Res Notebook Display · · Score: 1

    If you want more vertical resolution, rotate the monitor 90 degrees.

  15. Re:What the hell is the point of these huge number on Swedish Man Fined $650,000 For Sharing 1 Movie, Charged Extra For Low Quality · · Score: 1

    I want to be compensated by the studios because the version I watch on my iPhone isn't at nearly the same resolution as the same movie shown in a theater.

  16. Re:Um.... on Police Pull Over More Drivers For DNA Tests · · Score: 1

    That was my thought, also. So you're driving home at 2:00 AM from a late night code hacking marathon, the cop checks your plate, which is common practice for cars on the road late at night, [1] sees that you declined an optional cheek swab 3 months ago, and pulls you over for "weaving".

    Simple: when they ask for a cheek swab, respond that you neither accept nor decline. Or better yet, don't respond at all.

  17. Re:Laws alone don't prevent arrest on UK Men Arrested For Anti-Semitic Tweets After Football Game · · Score: 1

    Monetary compensation and jail time for violators never makes up for tarnished reputations and loss of time.

  18. Who created the Internet and Web as we know it? on Excite Kids To Code By Focusing Less On Coding · · Score: 1

    The Internet as we know it was created by brilliant people who worked with the equivalent of Stone Age tools, and yet they had no problem a) enjoying what they were doing and b) creating awesome things. Why do we suddenly need to glamorize programming by giving it a video game facelift? Is the population getting exponentially dumber? What happened to all the smart people?

  19. Re:Southwest.. on Gov't Puts Witness On No Fly List, Then Denies Having Done So · · Score: 1

    Chris Rock put it succinctly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poqoClsEhR4

  20. Re:Southwest.. on Gov't Puts Witness On No Fly List, Then Denies Having Done So · · Score: 1

    We've slid far backwards lately, but there's no question the situation was, far, far worse various times in the past. Get back to me when we're interning all the Arab-Americans in camps...

    Remember when people used to kill people based solely on the color of their skin? Good thing we don't do that any more and haven't for a long time, and that the police never do anything that reprehensible. Right?

  21. Re:Boycott == legacy DDOS tech on Anonymous Member Sentenced For Joining DDoS Attack For One Minute · · Score: 1

    Well, there's one DDOS attack that's perfectly legal. Boycott Koch Industries and all their products. Of course it'd take some hunting to find out just what Koch does besides drill for oil, foul the environment and inject tons of money to corrupt the political system to their ends.

    Sorry, failure to purchase Koch Industries services is now considered a "Denial of Services" attack because you are preventing them from selling their services to you.

  22. Kindergarten? Not early enough! on Zuckerberg Shows Kindergartners Ruby Instead of JavaScript · · Score: 1

    I'm teaching my kid assembly in utero.

  23. Isn't this a repeat?

    No, it's a repeater.

  24. The Internet... on Court: Homeland Security Must Disclose 'Internet Kill Switch' · · Score: 1

    No problem. The Internet sees kill switches as damage and routes around them.

    Yo dawg, I heard you like spying on spies so I spied on your spy so I could spill all your secrets.
