  1. Re:You overlooked something... on US House Subcommittee Votes To Kill Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Maybe because when the dems do it they have bipartisan support?

  2. Re:Yeah, they successfully wasted $700 million on Discovery's Final Launch Successful · · Score: 1

    Keep it to reddit.

  3. Re:Special situations on Activists Seek Repeal of Ban On Incandescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    Looking forward to chemtrail legislation.

  4. Re:If you support democracy, leave Libya alone on Libya SIGINT Jamming Satellites, Towers · · Score: 2

    1776 might not have gone so well if it weren't for the help of the french and the spanish, also world leaders shaking hands means they support their policies? Really!?

  5. Re:Liquid magma? on Iceland Eyes Liquid Magma As Energy Source · · Score: 4, Informative

    Iceland already produces energy by pumping water into the ground and on to very hot but still solid magma to produce steam energy. So the distinction matter since the reaction is very volatile if the 'rock' is still liquid.

  6. Re:Stolen?? on Kaspersky Source Code In the Wild · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Here's another one: Identity theft. Language evolves. Deal with it.

  7. Re:Sorry Google on Google Fires Back About Search Engine Spam · · Score: 1

    The obvious solution is to have the ratio of ads vs content affect the sites ranking, but when you are in the business of selling ads that's not very desirable.

  8. Re:Illegal? on Fake Steve Jobs Says 'Leave the Real One Alone' · · Score: 1

    it's a parody and therefor protected speech.

  9. Re:Unfortunately on The Strange Disappearance of Dancho Danchev · · Score: 1

    This is slashdot, they tell the same scary stories about he US, UK and recently even Sweden.

  10. Re:What grounds? on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I wasn't aware that the US had signed up to slashdot as the user Moryath (553296)

  11. Re:Ironic? on US Government Strategy To Prevent Leaks Is Leaked · · Score: 1

    If its not classified but should not be released to the public it's marked for official use only.

  12. Re:Fail on Chinese Intellectual Property Acquisition Tactics Exposed · · Score: 2

    This was a comment on capitalism. Do I have to say I love China at the end of every post to be spared the ire of the 50 cent army?

  13. Re:Fail on Chinese Intellectual Property Acquisition Tactics Exposed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well this is the difference between a state that has long term goals of improving it countries vs. corporations that can't see beyond the next quarterly report. Maybe it is true what they say, a capitalist will sell you the rope that you will use to hang him.

  14. Re:Anonymous retaliation in 3,2,1 .... on WikiLeaks App Removed From Apple Store · · Score: 1

    Probably shoot themselves in the foot somehow.

  15. P.O.R.N. on 'Reading Level' Filter Added To Google Search · · Score: 5, Funny

    My quest for advanced level porn brought me here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_outer_retinal_necrosis :(

  16. Re:misguided attack on Why Anonymous Can't Take Down Amazon.com · · Score: 1

    That would mean doing something meaningful that will inconvenience them. People were calling for a boycott of paypal and the response most of the time was either 'I never really use paypal but I sure will boycott them now!' or 'This sucks, but I use them too much, sorry' I doubt these companies will feel any pain.

  17. Re:Let's bring everyone on the same page on Judge Declares Federal Healthcare Plan (Partly) Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    So putting a bond down as insurance isn't insurance?

  18. Re:possible cause of failure on Amazon Says Hardware, Not Hackers, Caused Outage · · Score: 2

    DDoS attacks were aimed at amazon.com, i.e. US infrastructure so I doubt it.

  19. Re:Using TOR? on 'Anonymous' WikiLeaks Proponents Not So Anonymous · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Isn't it kinda childish to label everything that isn't pro wikileaks as CIA shills?

  20. Re:I would like to verify the legitimacy myself on Racy Danish Tabloid May Sue Apple For App Rejection · · Score: 1

    Don't know, jerking off to photoshop isn't that serious, even in the US.

  21. Re:4 years on PS3 With 3.50 Firmware Jailbroken Without Downgrade · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but I find it doubtful that nobody was interested in modding the system purely to pirate games on it. There is a huge commercial market for that, especially in the developing world.

  22. 4 years on PS3 With 3.50 Firmware Jailbroken Without Downgrade · · Score: 4, Funny

    It took 4 years to do this. I think Sony gets a few points for that.

  23. Well getting rid of wikileaks is easy then on Moscow Has Eyes On WikiLeaks, Too · · Score: 5, Funny

    US has to have some sensitive embarrassing Russian intel so getting rid of wikileaks should be easy. Just upload it to wikileaks and have them publish and then just wait for wikileaks members to get sick from radiation poisoning.

  24. Re:Jingoism? on SAP Ordered To Pay $1.3 Billion To Oracle · · Score: 1

    SAP isn't a person it's a corporation, people need to stop blurring the lines between them. It also entered the American market completely voluntarily.

  25. Re:As a Canadian, I like to watch... on Quark-Gluon Plasma Observed At LHC · · Score: 1

    It's just nationalism.
