  1. Re:Bah on Richard Clarke: All Major U.S. Firms Hacked By China · · Score: 1

    You'd think if we were at war with China, somebody would have told us by now.

  2. Re:He is supposed to be "one of the good guys" on ISOC Hires MPAA Executive Paul Beringer · · Score: 1

    Thanks for this. I'd mod you up if I could, but you're at +5 and I've already posted here.

  3. Welcome to the future on ISOC Hires MPAA Executive Paul Beringer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Where "independent" and "objective" simply means "giving the bad as much airtime and consideration as the good."

  4. Re:Simple on Algorithm Finds Thousands of Unknown Drug Interaction Side Effects · · Score: 1

    But, literally ANYTHING I pop into my mouth that I haven't had before could kill me the instant it touches my stomach. You have no way to know.

    You've convinced me. I am switching to a zero-food diet.

  5. Re:I don't want my cloud provider to know type of on Google Unifies Media, Apps Into Google Play · · Score: 3, Interesting

    For what values of lots?

    Also, why are you using public-key cryptography for this?

  6. Re:Assimilation on Adafruit's Open-source Wearable Platform, Flora · · Score: 1

    From the picture in the article, it's pretty clear that it's got standard-looking ports for USB and power.

  7. Re:4th coldest year? on 2011 Was the 9th Hottest Year On Record · · Score: 1

    9th out of 130 is a lot more remarkable than 4th out of 9.

  8. Re:The open question... on 2011 Was the 9th Hottest Year On Record · · Score: 4, Informative

    It takes a long while to turn sand into soil.

  9. Re:Community resistance on Tackling Open Source's Gender Issues · · Score: 1

    Something doesn't have to be the worst to be bad.

  10. Mistral on Novell's WordPerfect Antitrust Suit Ends In Mistrial · · Score: 0

    Anybody else read this as "... Suit Ends in Mistral?" I had some crazy idea about the issue somehow being resolved by this particular font.

  11. Re:Obligatory question on 10k Raspberry Pi Units Available In December · · Score: 1

    Have you ever even been to slashdot before? http://tech.slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=raspberry+pi

  12. Re:Push this on the queue of broken dreams... on No Tab Relocation Coming For Chrome · · Score: 1

    Heaven forbid you download an extension from the official chrome web store to address your needs.

  13. Re:GNOME 3 HATERS: Please keep posts in this threa on Fedora 16, OpenSuse 12.1 Betas With Gnome 3.2 · · Score: 1

    It was about the same time that people started trying to pass off "I hate the new look" as "critique."

  14. Re:50,000 a day? on So Far, More Than 50,000 Kindle Fire Pre-Orders Per Day · · Score: 1

    I mean, hell....you can drink $200 in a bar one night pretty easily....$200 in this day in time, is not a lot of money...it doesn't go as far as it used to in the old days...

    Guh... maybe if I'm ordering $40 beers.

  15. Re:FTFY on DARPA To Sponsor R&D For Interstellar Travel · · Score: 1

    If the US government passed 10 of these every single day for the rest of eternity, and taxes were evenly divided among every man, woman and child in America, the resulting cost would still be less that 6 USD annually per capita.

  16. Re:FTFY on DARPA To Sponsor R&D For Interstellar Travel · · Score: 1

    Right! All you have to do is find 28 million programs of this scale, and we'll be back on our feet!

  17. Re:Of course it was a mistake... on Was .NET All a Mistake? · · Score: 1

    JIT compilation is not the same as interpreted code. In fact, if you search that article for the word "interpret," it won't appear once (until you edit it to make me look wrong, of course).

  18. Re:Interesting fact on Zuckerberg Quits Google+ Over Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Some reading might do you good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

  19. Re:CP on When Software Offends · · Score: 1

    A) No, she didn't say they were child pornography. She said that Google gives you that message when you enter certain related search terms.
    B) What do you mean, considering who she is? Is it any surprise that somebody who is sex-positive is going to be upset about misogyny and non-consensual sex related acts?

  20. Re:As an early-adopter of Google+ on Google+ Runs Out of Disk Space, Swamps Users With Notifications · · Score: 1

    Some would say that a boring interface is a compliment. It should get out of the way and let you access and manage the content you're there for.

    The circles are ridiculously easy to set up. If you can drag and drop, you can set them up. To see who you shared your posts with, click the word "Limited" at the top right of the post. I don't think you can write on other people's walls, but I don't really know why you would want to.

  21. Re:Newscorp isn't in the business of news on News Corp. Subsidiary Under Fire For Hacking Dead Girl's Voicemail · · Score: 1

    You realize that the pages linked there are from before Jon Stewart talked about them? Each of them explains the background in question. If you're saying that Stewart misrepresented those articles, which ones?

  22. Re:Opt-out on Telstra Starts Implementing Australian Censorship Scheme · · Score: 1

    Oh, I agree - I'd probably opt out, just on principle. I doubt the Australian government sees it the same way.

  23. Opt-out on Telstra Starts Implementing Australian Censorship Scheme · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Even if you could opt out of this, the Australian government would just know who to put on their watch list.

  24. Re:First Sale on Capcom Announces Unreplayable Game · · Score: 1

    It's not story based. It's an arcade style game. The only things that can't be reset are unlocks and high scores.

  25. Wrong question. on Could the US Phase Out Nuclear Power? · · Score: 2

    Of course we could. It might be painful and messy, but we could. The more relevant question: *should* the US phase out nuclear power?
