  1. Re:China isn't subjehttp:/ct to Kyoto restrictions on US Embassy Categorizes Beijing Air Quality As 'Crazy Bad' · · Score: 1

    USA is not the biggest polluter by any measurement and it's emissions don't even come remotely close to 1/3rd. The 50 cent party should upgrade its fact sheet.

  2. Re:One word: Kyoto on US Embassy Categorizes Beijing Air Quality As 'Crazy Bad' · · Score: 1

    I have far greater respect for what the Americans did (not sign up) then they many countries that sign up and not live up to their obligations.

  3. Re:Capitalism at work on Scalpers Bought Tickets With CAPTCHA-Busting Botnet · · Score: 1

    If it's illegal to DoS attack web resources why shouldn't it be illegal to DoS attack tickets? Just because the attackers resell the resource they hogged at expectorate prices its suddenly OK?

    Slashdot assumption of Watts innocents all the while going on the usual OMG FACISIM rant reminds me of how the the whole Hans Reisen fiasco unfolded. I'm with you, I want to hear the whole story here.

    You do realize that if everyone did what you do there would be no TV shows to pirate?

    Google works everywhere and the stigma against any kind of child pornography is universal so he will likely have a hard time anywhere.

  8. Re:or we start treating it like a war on Laser Weapon Shoots Down Airplanes In Test · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Ah the magnificent anonymous armchair solider. If you were in the shoes of a ww2 front line soldier to you honestly believe you would have behaved better? Followed every rule to the letter the model little solider and still make a meaningful contribution to the war effort? In reality you would probably be cowering in a corner puking your guts out. A non-firing soldiers that is a waste of space and gear.

  9. Re:Children are likely to get confused on New York State Testing Emergency Alerts Over Gaming Networks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most console gamers aren't children and this stuff is for their benefit.

  10. Re:Depends on your definition of "real" and "good" on Stargate Universe · · Score: 1

    With all the talk of bittorrent and avoiding ads from it's core audience group it seems that their isn't any profit in sci-fi anymore.

  11. Re:How does this *free* Mac users? on A Different Perspective On Snow Leopard's Exchange Support · · Score: 0, Troll

    Well it doesn't really surprise me to see that apple users don't understand the meaning of (software/hardware) freedom.

  17. Re:Not surprising on Traditional News Media Lead Blogs By 2.5 Hours · · Score: 1

    comparing the average speed of the traditional media with the fastest blog isn't a worthwhile static. The fastest blogs vs. the fastest traditional media outlets maybe but that's not what you are linking.

  18. Re:Because Cisco would never do such a thing on Senators Want To Punish Nokia, Siemens Over Iran · · Score: 1

    And EU punishing Microsoft isn't? Slashdot likes to point out US government hypocrisy but is blind to their own. (If moding is anything to go by.)

  19. Re:Not surprising on Survey Finds Airport Wi-Fi More Important Than Food · · Score: 1

    You can steal bandwidth like anything else. The airport has every right to control the way their bandwidth which they paid for is used and by whom. Yes you are bypassing a payware and maybe cracking. But it's also clearly stealing. Don't try to label it as anything else to soothe your conscious.

    That's called stealing.

    China hasn't stopped buying US bonds in fact they are buying even more now since they got burned badly on the stocks/commodities bubble and are scrambling for low risk investment like everyone else. China doesn't want to buy US bonds, yeah but they have nowhere else to but their trade surplus. US dollar won't hyper inflate without destroying the world economy and nobody wants that so it won't happen. Then again this end of the dollar and impending hyperinflation doom has been coming for what, 30 years now? I'm not holding my breath.
