  1. iReincarnation on Steve Jobs Reincarnated As a Warrior-Philosopher, Thai Group Says · · Score: 2

    Those Buddhists are in trouble now. I have it on good authority that Apple has patented the iReincarnation app. They are going to have the same fate as Samsung in the next American trial!

  2. Re:Those downloading LOIC... on Downloads of DoS Attack Tool LOIC Spike · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But, downloading LOIC is not a crime (Yet). Therefore why would Sourceforge hand over the IP requests if asked?

  3. Re:Man is an intriguing being... on Drone Guides Fuel Shipment to Alaskan Town · · Score: 1

    I just wonder why someone would be willing to live in a place that is by all measures a risky place to establish a life. Why? When I think of the polar bear, the weather, the isolation and so on, I fail to see the reason why I would want to live there. Man is surely intriguing.

    The same could be said for those living in Tornado Alley. People are weird, and they'll live anywhere on this planet.

  4. Re:Neanderthals All on Taliban Seizes and Burns PCs, Cell Phones To Stop Obscenity · · Score: 1

    Who in the world would want to live under and be governed by these Neanderthals? (I realize that this is an insult to true Neanderthals.)

    The Taliban rule with guns. He with the most guns sets the laws.

  5. Re:Crazy idea, I know... on Ubisoft Blames Piracy For Non-Release of PC Game · · Score: 1

    Steam also can act as a publisher. The game companies can just use steam to patch their games. You can then run the game from the install directory. No DRM needed.

  6. Re:bigger *hint* on Snow Falls On the Most Arid Desert On Earth · · Score: 1

    Also, what about the animals that don't like the "hot zones" as much as us primates do?

    It's called extinction.

  7. Re:two such devices failed in Denver this month on Tracking Bracelets for Autistic Kids and Senior Citizens · · Score: 1

    Guardians are supposed to check batteries and devices every week.

    That there makes it unlikely to work. People will check these thing initially and then after a few months they won't check as often. Especially if there haven't been any problems.

  8. Re:April 1st? on Glasses Purge 3rd D From Films · · Score: 1

    Because your friends don't want to see the 'lame' 2D version. Besides, this is /.. WE'd just download the 3D version to watch on our 2D monitors,

  9. Re:XKCD? on An App That Turns Any Drawing Into a Dress · · Score: 1

    I only go to the mall because it has the only bookstore in town. I enjoy browsing books, rather then look for all the newest releases on Amazon.

  10. Better than not having it on Playing Around With Tracking Protection In IE9 · · Score: 1

    Getting rid off all the crappy and misleading ads is a plus for IE 9. TFA was vague if it was turned on as default or not. Even if people will have to turn it on, they might realize the benefits.

  11. Plug-ins Bad. Here's ours on 80% of Browsers Found To Be At Risk of Attack · · Score: 2

    So, you got to install a plug-in to check if your other plug-ins are secure. Maybe the browsercheck plug-in isn't secure. People need to update their software for security. That's not news.

  12. Re:But then what kind of asshole on DSL Installation Fail · · Score: 1

    Sure, blame the customer. Maybe the customer had an installation date sent some time in advance. The blame lies with Qwest Technicians. If the snow is too deep to do a good job, it's better to explain to the customer and reschedule.

  13. Re:It's called System Graph on Apple Support Company Sues Customer For Complaint · · Score: 1

    You don't even read the stories you post, do you?

    The company is called System Graph.

    TFA calls it Stemgraph too. Even with a link to the company at systemgraph.gr

    Maybe Stemgraph is the english translation?

  14. Re:Better technology on Backscatter X-Ray Machines Easily Fooled · · Score: 5, Funny

    This obviously means that we are going to need better technology. We'll need technology that will be able to give us a full color representation of your completely nude body, but only if you're a hot chick. - Your Friendly local TSA Agent

    Bah, There's nothing for the female TSA Agents. I suggest only hot guys get scanned. I don't think slashdotters need apply.

  15. Re:attacked by whom? on WikiLeaks Under Denial of Service Attack · · Score: 1

    Anyone who wants the US government to look bad? Everyone is going to assume they are behind it anyways

  16. Re:Sounds great... on Estonian Economist Suggests Abandoning Cash · · Score: 1

    That's why you buy a bicycle and make the customer pedal really fast to generate electricity. Too bad I live in North America and most of the adults here would probably pass out trying to cycle.

  17. Re:PEBKAC on Web-Users Fall For Fake Anti-Virus Scams · · Score: 1

    So? Does the fact that the user made a mistake mean that this is not a problem worthy of attention? We need to find ways to make it easier to distinguish spyware that steals your personal information for criminal gangs from the legitimate software that steals your personal information for big businesses.

    Simple. Make javascript illegal. That'll slow those criminals down.

  18. Re:It's a pavlovian response on Web-Users Fall For Fake Anti-Virus Scams · · Score: 1

    Not really. Most people know they need an Anti-virus scanner, so if a website tells them they can download one for a small fee, they will. It's no different with auto repair shops. If people don't know enough about the subject, they are usually ripped off. The AV scams are simply harder to stop, because most of them aren't locally.

  19. Missed Opportunity on UK Terror Chief Blocked From Boarding Aircraft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    She missed a glorious opportunity to praise the airport security for her unplanned security check. It is a good thing that British Security Officers check all people, even the Security Minister.

  20. Re:Wow on Stuxnet Worm Infected Industrial Control Systems · · Score: 3, Informative

    People are lazy. Why change the password on these machines? You'd have to write it down somewhere because remembering things is tough.

  21. Re:Prisoner's Dilemma? on Mozilla Finds Flaw With Black Hat Video Stream · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Michael Coates did that right thing. If you were the one hosting the video stream, you'd rather people got it for free, rather then pay you the money you deserve for hosting it? Watching the video streams without paying for them is wrong.

  22. Re:No we don't. on Facebook Usage Hits 16 Billion Minutes a Day · · Score: 1

    We know how to close tabs. It's just isn't worth the time it takes. You come to my front door, and demand I close my excess tabs, I'll do so.

  23. Re:Whaazzaaaa? on How To Destroy a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    They could test their theories on the black hole that the LHC will make!

  24. Re:Liability caps on BP Knew of Deepwater Horizon Problems 11 Months Ago · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If because of these fees BP has higher priced oil than say Exxon, people will flock to Exxon and ignore BP. Of course due to governments creating artificial monopolies, kickbacks, bailouts and the like this doesn't happen for many businesses.

    More likely, Exxon will simply raise their prices to be the same as BP's.

  25. Re:The real problem on US Supreme Court Upholds Indefinite Confinement · · Score: 1

    If we're just going to lock people up with no chance to reform or leave, we might as well just execute them instead. It saves money in the long run.
