    The two moon, one wolf t shirt was amazing back then, I tell you I can! So awesome that one moon had to go,

    Checking out Clayton Morris, http://www.foxnews.com/archive/author/clayton-morris/index.html, he loves him some istuff. His 'Another day another tablet.' Starting line is pure salesmanship! Nice to see Apple scared enough to send out the dogs.

  3. Turning it Around! on DoD Paper Proposes National Security Through a Culture of Restraint (and Stigma) · · Score: 1

    The kind of Rovian bastard that comes up with this sort of slimy plot is the most disgusting slime that a sick society can possibly produce. The SAIC is disgusting just for allowing such smarmy and clearly anti-American skum to work for them. I remember a day when analyst used to mean something. Usually a technician promoted high enough to present data a meeting, But now, I am embarrassed that Dallas Boyd holds a title that I once held. Why didn't this slime ball practice what he preaches and self censor himself. He should have chosen to protect our democracy and values, but no, he had to go and publish this damned fascist drivel. What a horridly unattractive sort of weasel. He should be stigmatized for presenting such clearly dangerous schemes!

  4. Even if your DM is Monty Hall on Zuckerberg Only Eating Animals He Personally Kills · · Score: 1

    A goat, pig, chicken and a lobster are not worth a lot of EP. I doubt Zuckerberg is even second level. There! Now it is news for geeks.

  5. ICANN2 on ICANN Wants To Change Rules For GTLDs · · Score: 2

    This is pretty well silly. Trademark is common law, registered, international, national and just about every other sort of monkey court in existence. ICANN may be opening themselves up to some real silly nastiness. The sort of thing they will richly deserve if they go through with this.

  7. DMCA may be the strongest 4 letter word! on Dropbox Attempts To Kill Open Source Project · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that DMCA is an actually restricted four letter word? That would make DMCA the strongest cuss word of them all! What ever you do, don't threaten to DMCA someone, especially in writing, unless you have what it takes to DMCA someone! That's just DMCA'd up.

  10. Re:It's good to have allies on Michael Moore Posts Julian Assange's Bail · · Score: 1

    You are correct entirely! The factory in Littleton now makes components for such things and for stuff that is top secret. Just because the factory makes components that can be used for making such weapons and does other stuff that is classified, does not mean they make anything at all. This is just like the damned liberals trying to say that selling a 'model' of a machine gun is almost the same as selling the machine gun. Just because the same mail order company sells parts and tools that could be used to make the model functional is no reason to say they are essentially selling machine guns. Did I mention that they also have instructions for the conversion available? Decent hard working business men make components that can be used on ICBM's because that is what they love to do. It is a blessing that they are so well rewarded by our military while they do what they love to do so well. Moore is so full of it. Wiki leaks proves that messengers deserve to be shot while important decision makers need to be rewarded for making tough and merciless decisions. I don't trust Michael Moore any more that I would trust George Bailey, both of them are mean and have anger issues. Mr. Potter is someone we can depend on however. Michael Moore clearly has issues, and often shows compassion. If there is one thing we all know, it is the fact that compassion is a code word for communism. Oh, and did I forget to mention that I am not a crank? Sorry, my bad.

    I think we see eye to eye on this. TANSTAAFM (There ain't no such thing as a free market.) Unless businesses are ready to give up lawsuits, copyrights, patents, liability protection and trade secrets, free trade just means someone wants a free ride.

  15. Is the active ingredient Mercury? on North Korea Develops Anti-Aging "Super Drink" · · Score: 1

    Or is it arsenic or both? Lots of old time medications that also gave fair skin and reduced dark spots have mercury and/or arsenic as active ingredients. To be fair, lots of skin care products in Asia and the Middle East, are still using these compounds.

  16. Re:The moral question is thus proposed; on Scientists Develop Financial Turing Test · · Score: 1

    Oh, Goody. Thank you, Mad Gods of Slashdot, for granting me the opportunity to pedantically explain a weak joke. Alan Turing proposed a simple test to judge intelligence. If a device could fool someone into thinking it was intelligent, then it might be intelligent. Along with this test, was the ethical question of how we should treat an intelligent or potentially intelligent device. If a device is intelligent, is unplugging it morally questionable? If we grant that a market is intelligent, this may also imply that a market is capable of being evil. It also may imply that destroying a market is evil. Since markets tend to feed on and even on occasion destroy or assimilate other markets, a market being intelligent might well define a market as not only being evil in effect, but as being personally evil.

  17. The moral question is thus proposed; on Scientists Develop Financial Turing Test · · Score: 1

    If I cannot predict a market, do I then, no longer have the right to kill the market? Does this mean that Wall Street is not only by results and facts, but by definition evil?

  18. Re:I love to be the first to say this... on Utah Assembly Passes Resolution Denying Climate Change · · Score: 2, Informative

    It takes a great State like Utah to stand out amidst such gleaming examples. I must admit that South Carolina was looking pretty impressive, with the registry of subversives, but if the registration comes with a frame-able certificate, it might be a moneymaker! http://rawstory.com/2010/02/south-carolinas-subversive-activities-registration-act-force/ Texas can hold it's own though. Since the Texas Pledge of Allegiance does not say much more than that Texas is indivisible, it is a spectacular example. Considering that Texas is the only State that actually is divisible.

    Sweet! Finally a State has volunteered to take the hit and prove that Texas is not the most stupid in the Union! Go Utah! Go!

  20. Wkipedia is just clearing Thetans on CoS Bigwig Likens Wikipedia Ban to Nazis' Yellow Star Decree · · Score: 1

    Of course the Thetans are going to complain when you try to clear them. If the Thetans didn't misuse their ability to "implant" suggestions then Wikipedia would not have to clear them.

    Are you predicting that Rush will quote Stevens correctly? Before you answer, keep in mind that OxyContin is a powerful drug.

  22. Do not underestimate the power of the darknet. on Could the Internet Be Taken Down In 30 Minutes? · · Score: 1

    Fine they take thirty minutes to shut down the internet for ten minutes. Some areas stay down because they remain infected or untrustworthy. Some areas loose phone service and the ability to contact the machines they need to contact to make a repair. Tons of technicians have to actually visit remote servers clean up and reboot them. At the end of the week, we have a stronger network and Rush blames Al Gore for not making a stronger series of pipes in the first place.

  23. Re:Stallman now does what he used to fight. on Richard Stallman Warns About Non-Free Web Apps · · Score: 1

    Consider Rambus. Now consider my releasing a neat bit of tight and useful code while my 'parent organization' does not approve or allow me to do so. Careful notes of correspondence, preserve company rights to the code, but it still gets put out there and used right and left. Now the lawsuits come. Stallman is posting from a GNU perspective, based on GNU experience. Are you ready to bet that a legal Trojan is not being pushed out there in script form? GNU is all about protecting user and developer rights in an environment of corporate takeover and exploitation. Stallman's message is obvious if you look at the history of software rights.
