  1. Assange goes to Sweden and next thing you know he died of pneumonia in some prison cell and that's it. Meanwhile, in a cell in the US...

  2. Re:Oracle doesn't care about developer people on Is MySQL Slowly Turning Closed Source? · · Score: 1

    Pretty much how OpenSolaris was managed too.

  3. Win7 desktop / Win8 tablets on Is Windows 8 Microsoft's Riskiest Bet? · · Score: 1

    If Win95, WinMe and Vista are enough evidence, Microsoft never planned to have people upgrading to Win8... that will be left to Win9. Duh.

  4. Re:certainly much simpler than on In Brazil, All Vehicles Must Have Radio IDs By 2014 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't want to disappoint you but Brazil is pretty much in the "western world" too. And it has lots of cameras with license plate reading tech for speeding tickets, etc.

  5. Re:License plate /= registration data? on In Brazil, All Vehicles Must Have Radio IDs By 2014 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not exactly 100% efficient since the _car_ is trackable but I get the point. Same thing with your cellphone though.

  6. What about water, sanitation, etc ? on Indian Government Mulls Giving Away Mobile Phones To the Poor · · Score: 1

    I guess they all have too much of those, uh?

  7. Re:Why MS logo on the header? on Data-Fed Monitoring System Will Put New Yorkers Under Police Surveillance · · Score: 1

    NYPD and profit sharing?

  8. SLASHDOT EDITORS, DO YOUR JOB on Teenager Arrested In England For Criticizing Olympic Athlete On Twitter · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Check the facts, rewrite the posts that are CLEARLY trying to manipulate you and the readers.

  9. Re:Standards compliance with multiple standards... on HTML5 Splits Into Two Standards · · Score: 1

    Generally agree although reality is a bit harsh on getting everybody to accept any new standard.. let alone multiple new standards. IPv6 anyone?

  10. Re:How can a standard be "living"? on HTML5 Splits Into Two Standards · · Score: 1

    Too bad for the web then. If there are many competing "standards" and a browser can, or cannot, support some of them at some point in time.. that just makes it difficult for everybody. Good standards are difficult to create however getting acceptance is a even more difficult task. If they are changing all the time it really doesn't help anymore. BTW, the web is fast moving target? Only if you mean at layer 7 and above.

  11. Re:The end point should be run by the military on Ask Slashdot: VPN Service For a Deployed US Navy Ship? · · Score: 1

    I'm amazed that people really trust the OP is in a US Navy ship.

  12. STOP GIVING SKYNET NEW TOYS!

  13. Re:Problems? Really? on Torvalds Slams NVIDIA's Linux Support · · Score: 1

    Having just spent a whole day trying to get a GT525M card working with that Optimus shit, I can only agree. Nvidia sucks on Linux.

  14. Promote lifestyle changes? on Could Cops Use Google As Pre-Cogs? · · Score: 1

    I think it'd be more productive if the, oh-so-powerful, governments would create policies to stimulate people to focusing on being better human being in the face of adversity and frustration. It could be meditation or whatever, just stop chasing the tail on this.

  15. Re:Yeah, that's a good argument. on SpaceX Brownsville Space Port Opposed By Texas Environmentalists · · Score: 1

    I will tell my doctor that he does less for society that my friend, Mr. clay pot maker. Keep you posted.

  16. Re:spray noxious chemicals all over the place? on SpaceX Brownsville Space Port Opposed By Texas Environmentalists · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I've no side in this "contest". I don't even live in Texas.

    Just saying both sides are quick to judge and label the other without providing good arguments.

    If you think your "opponent" is dumb, doesn't mean you've to step down to his level.

  17. Re:spray noxious chemicals all over the place? on SpaceX Brownsville Space Port Opposed By Texas Environmentalists · · Score: 1

    And those technologies would be... ? And they release what exactly ? Bunch of arguments, no content.

  18. Re:Space ops are compatible with wildlife on SpaceX Brownsville Space Port Opposed By Texas Environmentalists · · Score: 2

    Stop asking critical questions. The wannabe scientists are not interested in answering them.

  19. Re:BORING on Is Facebook Working On a Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    Not as much as you care about other people's throwaway posts.

    So less than 1% ?

  21. BORING on Is Facebook Working On a Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    TL;DR - Don't care.

  22. Ease of management? on Ask Slashdot: Why Not Linux For Security? · · Score: 1

    I manage hundreds of Linux *servers* and I wouldn't consider running Windows on them. Period.

    But I've the impression that managing thousands of Linux *desktops* distributed cross several departments with users requesting little changes and you name it.... would be a huge mess to manage. Again, totally subjective opinion based on what I've seen being used but never used myself... it seems easier to manage a network of thousands of Windows desktops with the M$ tooling.

    Anyone got experience managing both OSes in a huge network and cares to weight in?

  23. Anyone considered concerts? on New Music Boss, Worse Than Old Music Boss · · Score: 2

    AFAIK, there was a time when musicians would earn their living by performing their music.

  24. Facebook on Falcon 9 Launch Aborted At Last Minute · · Score: 1

    And people told me to invest in SpaceX instead of Facebok. Take it now, suckers!

    Let me see how much richer I am.




    Wait a second....

  25. Give us a break! on Americans More Worried About Cybersecurity Than Terrorism · · Score: 1

    The world can't even recover from all this terrorist theater and they are already seeding their next big way of profiting from fear.
