  1. Re:Hm, wonder why on Backlash Builds Against US Copyright Blacklist · · Score: 1

    There are many ways to describe "protecting your interests". Backwards isn't one of them. To these interests, the USA does not exist, except as a location to register their corporation, and proof of residence when collecting their welfare check..er, I mean subsidy, no wait, I mean bailout cash, stimulus freebie? They are like Liberian ships. So it is of no concern to them if it is "number one" in anything, except for low to no taxes, or the best strip joints.

  2. Re:AKA the ED law on Bill Would Declare Your Blog a Weapon · · Score: 1

    Freedom of speech?? We have copyright to deal with that meddlesome inconvenience.

  3. Re:Covered By Twenty Percent of the Bill of Rights on Bill Would Declare Your Blog a Weapon · · Score: 1

    Even better, two violations with one law. Win-win!

  4. Re:Good news for the young earthers.. on Tsunami Hit New York City Region In 300 BC · · Score: 4, Funny

    The great flood must have been somewhere else. There weren't that many Jews living on Long Island back then. But poor New Jersey.. Even mother nature was dumping its garbage there.

  5. Re:GPay on Would You Pay For YouTube Videos? · · Score: 1

    It's a great idea. But it does nothing to help the gatekeeper control what content gets to be widely viewed. And it's probably too difficult for the authorities to track the cash flow. There's a "terrorist" angle in there somewhere. Actually I wish that they do charge for videos to help draw users to other sites, ones that don't restrict from where a video can be viewed. That's what's really intolerable. Hulu must be stopped. We need more "scud" sites that can quickly be dismantled and setup to keep the content cartels at bay.

  6. Round 'n round with Microsoft on Microsoft Releases Super-Secure XP to US Air Force · · Score: 1

    There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza..

  7. Re:Don't worry on Forensics Tool Finds Headerless Encrypted Files · · Score: 1

    The company has "innovations" in it's name, so their product probably won't work.

    Yep, shoulda gone with Acme..

  8. Getting around this will be difficult? on Microsoft To Disable Autorun · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't think so. Just tell the user to double click the setup.exe icon if it doesn't run automatically. Gotta turn off autorun in the user's brain.

  9. Re:it's a tremendously bad idea on Should the US Go Offensive In Cyberwarfare? · · Score: 1

    ...they are utilizing probably a tenth of their hacking capacity...

    That is false; it's a myth.

  10. Absolutely on Should the US Go Offensive In Cyberwarfare? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nothing prepares you for war like lots of practice.

  11. They are not "fighting" Verizon on Cablevision To Offer 101 Mbps Down, No Caps · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Nor are they trying to really compete with anyone. There's been a lot of public backlash against American internet service, if you can call it that. And that's what they're trying to mitigate, along with a possible demand for regulation. The caps are there. It's just that nobody but Cablevision knows what they are.

  12. Re:Web "applications" on Universal Design for Web Applications · · Score: 1

    ...whatever that name is, that you're not supposed to say...

    I think it's "Beetlejuice"

  13. Re:You know, these stories don't shock me anymore. on UK Government To Monitor All Internet Use · · Score: 1

    And the general populace seems happy to let it happen.

    Not merely letting it happen. The general populace has been scared into demanding it.

  14. Re:Great on Linux Boxee Users Get Hulu Relief · · Score: 1

    Hulu does not stream content outside the United States...

    Well Boxee should use something that does. I'm here getting binspammed about Hulu and it does me no good at all. If Slashdot is going to continue to advertise these services, they should at least do one that isn't playing all these stupid games. I'm tired of spending half my day busting through firewalls just to watch some TV.

  15. Make the law absurd on Music Copyright In EU Extended To 70 Years · · Score: 5, Insightful

    and that's how people will treat it. It tears down any pretext of respect.

  16. Re:Be Skeptical of Drug Company "Scientific" Claim on Drug Company Merck Drew Up Doctor "Hit List" · · Score: 1

    Unbridled capitalism at its finest.

    No, doing it legal is very bridled. Unbridled is when you go outside the country to get it cheaper and smuggle it back in with you, then sell some to your "friends".

  17. Re:Cancel Air Flight; Limit Damage to the Americas on New Flu Strain Appears In the US and Mexico · · Score: 1

    So say 3 million people die from it...

    Yeah, think of the money saved on blood pressure medicine...

  18. BAH! Who cares about face whatchamacallit on Analyzing (All of) Star Trek With Face Recognition · · Score: 1

    What a wellspring of Trek trivia! For instance, in Spock's Brain, Spock gets less than 4 and a half minutes of screen time. Fascinating...

    Shatner's a camera hog...

  19. Financial Mathematics? on Future of Financial Mathematics? · · Score: 1

    A new oxymoron...Goes similar to: "one for you, nineteen to me..."

  20. Re:Seems like the Swedish know what to do. on The Circus Widens In Aftermath of Pirate Bay Verdict · · Score: 1

    But if the color clashes, you got a problem with the fashion police.

  21. Re:Cancel Air Flight; Limit Damage to the Americas on New Flu Strain Appears In the US and Mexico · · Score: 2, Interesting

    On the long run it makes us more resistant to disease. That used to be a good thing.

  22. Re:Call for Standards, not Open Source on Senate Bill Calls For Open Source Electronic Health Records · · Score: 1

    Poor understanding of IT jargon by a politician's office...what a shock...

    I'm a doctor, dammit!

  24. Re:This is how the free market works on Time Warner Cable Won't Compete, Seeks Legislation · · Score: 1

    Demonstrably false...

    You have yet to show your work... And you seem to be in denial of man's natural, animal behavior.

  25. This is how the free market works on Time Warner Cable Won't Compete, Seeks Legislation · · Score: 1

    It's not about competition. It's about who's the last one still standing on top of the rubble. It's a demolition derby, not a yard sale
