  1. Re:Politicial labels are relative on Does Personalized News Lead To Ignorance? · · Score: 1

    I agree. The US political spectrum never recovered from the insanity of the McCarthy era. Leftists are entirely absent in the US political system except at the local level, and even there they are few and far between.

  2. Re:Why Single Out Fox on Does Personalized News Lead To Ignorance? · · Score: 1

    Thank you for so eloquently proving my point.

    Does this point need to be proven on Slashdot? Look how often it's spelled "Faux" News in posts here. You're really just preaching to the choir, honestly.

  3. Re:What do I care about someone on the other side on Does Personalized News Lead To Ignorance? · · Score: 1

    No, you're quite possibly an idiot, because if you're only reading opinions that you care to read, you're only getting a partial story. That's not an expert, that's someone who thinks they know a lot more than they do. Pull your head out of the sand.

    Do you browse Slashdot at -1? Or do you only "read opinions that you care to read?" Honest question.

  4. Re:In SOVIET RUSSIA... on Twitter Developing Technology To Thwart Censorship · · Score: 1

    We attacked Afghanistan after 9/11, remember?

  5. Re:Thanks EFF. I never thought about that. on Tracking Browsers Without Cookies Or IP Addresses? · · Score: 1

    This already happens. With Ajax reporting back mouse movements, clicks and keypresses, the site admin can snoop on the visitors and see exactly what they are doing.

    So CmdrTaco knows that 95% of Slashdotters type one-handed? O_o

  6. Re:This sounds just like the GBC ROM dump hack on PlayStation 3 Hack Released Online · · Score: 1

    Someone here needs to try it and report back... :)

  7. Re:Geez on Google Toolbar Tracks Your Browsing, Even When Off · · Score: 1

    It's been this way in the USA since the Guilded Age, at least. Eisenhower was talking about the miltary-industrial complex half a century ago, remember?

  8. Re:Blame piracy on Future Ubisoft Games To Require Constant Internet Access · · Score: 1

    The profit margins could be really improved if it was impossible to pirate games, resulting in better and more games.

    Such wishful thinking. The industry has consolidated the point that nothing will shake up the way games are currently made unless the big players collapse.

  9. Woah... on Scientology Attacker Will Be Sentenced To Jail · · Score: 1

    Somebody else from Grand Island reads Slashdot? XD I admit it's shocking to see our local news repeated here.

    I also applaud this guy's actions. L. Ron Hubbard was born in Nebraska, so it's the least we can do for unleashing such insanity upon the world.

  10. Re:good on GM Is Selling Saab To Spyker Cars · · Score: 2, Informative

    The A and B class Mercedes are FWD. The Mini is BMW's way of having FWD without having to use the BMW badge on it.

  11. Jensen Interceptor on GM Is Selling Saab To Spyker Cars · · Score: 1

    The FF version of the Jensen Interceptor best fits the idea of "the first 4WD road car". It also had primitive forms of ABS and traction control.

  12. Re:Geeky indeed on GM Is Selling Saab To Spyker Cars · · Score: 1

    Sodium cooled valves are for durability, not performance. The little Alfa four-cylinder had good output because of it's DOHC layout.

  13. Bad analogy on Nielsen Ratings To Count Online TV Viewing · · Score: 1

    Trilobites existed way before dinosaurs, not after.

    Trilobite

  14. Re:Entropy increasing, Slashdot-style on Universe Closer To Heat Death Than Once Thought · · Score: 1

    Nice link, thanks.

  15. Re:Wrong Audience? on Bach Launches Updated MP3 Format · · Score: 1

    You just have too much faith invested in money as the determiner of value. True value comes from your enjoyment of the music. The supply is infinite, so why not get it if you want it? The idea is made stronger by sharing, as Thomas Jefferson pointed out.

    Humans existed before there was a concept of money=value, and they will exist after it has passed into the mists of history. This is perhaps the most unhealthy aspect of our collective thinking. It is treated as religion, and /.ers are just as much adherents to it as any other group.

  16. Re:Extra content on Bach Launches Updated MP3 Format · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, he's right. You have to dig pretty hard to find consistent FLAC uploads. Several of the best sources are on Russian websites.

  17. Re:Sounds like features I need from an audio file on Bach Launches Updated MP3 Format · · Score: 1

    The fact that the disc is SACD is irrelevant. Your rip came from the normal CD-audio layer.

    Sounds better than the CD? Please.

  18. Re:Not using any bogons over here on IPv4 Free Pool Drops Below 10%, 1.0.0.0/8 Allocated · · Score: 1

    Interesting read... thanks.

  19. Re:Ill bet this will happen on IPv4 Free Pool Drops Below 10%, 1.0.0.0/8 Allocated · · Score: 1

    NAT has nothing to do with security. That's the job of a firewall.

  20. Re:Gamers grown up on Researchers Make a Case For Learning Through Video Game Creation · · Score: 0, Redundant

    students liberally steal ideas and style

    Stealing? Try learning.

  21. Re:So are Google and all the bunch just dumb? on Mozilla's VP of Engineering On H.264 · · Score: 1

    They would be more meaningful if they actually made money on Youtube. They certainly have lots of mind share, but it's been a nothing but red ink on their balance sheets.

  22. Re:Oh please. on Mozilla's VP of Engineering On H.264 · · Score: 0, Troll

    But nevertheless, linux zealots coming in 3.. 2.. 1...

    I'd start the countdown for MS zealots incoming, but it seems you've already arrived.

  23. Re:Sigh on Rumor — AT&T Losing iPhone Exclusivity Next Week · · Score: 2

    They can get more page views by publishing the rumor now and the real story then... assuming there is a story, of course.

  24. Re:I'm an idiot on Artwork Re-Sells Itself Weekly On eBay · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That's exactly what it is. Foolish fun. You should try it some time, it lightens up the day.

    Not everything in life is about calculating that "you need to sell it at 118% profit to break even".

    Looking at the terms of the sale, I'd say that only counts as "fun" if you're a lawyer.
