  1. Re:No, not really on The Looming Library Lending Battle · · Score: 1

    The majority of people simply don't develop much intellectually, but after all those pages of Harry Potter they should at least be able to read fluently, which shouldn't be overlooked!

  2. Re:Social-Democracy Works on Volkswagen Turns Off E-mail After Work-Hours · · Score: 1

    I think they were more sincere about socialism in East Germany. We won't even mention National Socialism. The possible problems with socialism are not imaginary.

  3. Re:Keep GoDaddy's history in mind on GoDaddy Backs SOPA · · Score: 1

    He was just following the rich man's tradition of big game hunting. You can't expect a rich man to suddenly get a conscience: every treasure hoard is built on a mountain of human bones.

  4. Re:and at the other end of the spectrum: Ural Mode on Tesla Motors Announces Prices For Their Upcoming Models · · Score: 1

    Those things get like 30mpg

  5. Re:That is like suing Ford on Spanish Court Rules In Favor of P2P Engineer · · Score: 1

    Guns are equally designed to protect people. If living things would politely hand over their property and lives when they were politely asked weaponry and violence would not exist. Handing over your property and life to the state does not bring you closer to that utopia, not at all!

  6. Re:AMERICA FUCK YEA!! on Troops In Afghanistan Supplied By Robot Helicopter · · Score: 1

    They are in it together. The more teachers, the higher their salaries, the more upper managers, the higher their salaries.

  7. Re:Why the hell was this research conducted at all on US Asks Scientists To Censor Reports To Prevent Terrorism · · Score: 1

    A long as they have the proper containment it's not really different from other contagious disease research. Just like breeding velociraptors is not worse than breeding tigers.

  8. Re:They ignore the commercial pirate? on X-Men Origins Pirate Draws a 1-Year Sentence · · Score: 1

    Producing pirated DVDs for sale requires a lot more criminal intent than uploading a file. The movie made $85 million the first weekend and seems have had around the normal profitability for the series so there was probably no perceptible damage. No harm, no intent to harm, no crime.

  9. Re:hmmm.... on Domestic Surveillance Drones Could Spur Tougher Privacy Laws · · Score: 1

    I wish that were true: the holocaust of fucking squirrels infesting my property would begin! But in practice only police have a strong right to self-defense.

  10. Re:LOL on SOPA Creator In TV/Film/Music Industry's Pocket · · Score: 2

    Maybe he's just modest. It's weird having even a dog look at you naked; now imagine a dog that stares at your cock.

  11. Re:LOL on SOPA Creator In TV/Film/Music Industry's Pocket · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Feminist-progressivism has driven you insane. What kind of discipline is going to stop men from looking at boobs in co-ed showers (and a look, "the male gaze", is enough for women to complain of harassment)? Castration? But killing and dying takes balls, not a suppression of those "animal impulses". I'll agree that guys aren't that sensitive so mixed showers with gays might not be a problem, but sex within communal living situations will erode discipline. Bradley Manning is currently arguing that being gay is a kind of mental illness that made him unfit to serve...will gays always have a "get out of army free card" even after "don't ask don't tell"?

  12. Re:Death penalty on Philosopher Patrick Lin On the Ethics of Military Robotics · · Score: 1

    It seems that it costs states a lot more (sometimes millions of dollars more) to execute someone than to imprison him for life. So executions don't make sense unless you are willing to accept a larger number of people executed in error by streamlining the process.

  13. Re:Not again on Philosopher Patrick Lin On the Ethics of Military Robotics · · Score: 0

    just looking for a way to oppose either a specific war or all wars the US is involved in

    And you seem to be looking for a way to support any and all US wars. Which attitude is less reasonable?

  14. Re:Not all robots are autonomous agents on Philosopher Patrick Lin On the Ethics of Military Robotics · · Score: 1

    And autonomous killing robots would receive instructions from humans. Even when remotely controlled, drones reduce the difficulty and consequences of killing, and risk bypassing ethics entirely.

  15. Re:Haha ... on Technical Details Behind the LAN-Party Optimized House · · Score: 5, Funny

    And afterwards you lit a cigar with a hundred-dollar bill.

  16. Re:Yay! More Google smearing! on Google Deal Allegedly Lets UMG Wipe YouTube Videos It Doesn't Own · · Score: 2

    So if what you just posted was removed from Slashdot because of an agreement with Microsoft you wouldn't mind?

  17. Re:UMG is screwed on Google Deal Allegedly Lets UMG Wipe YouTube Videos It Doesn't Own · · Score: 3, Interesting

    True, but feeling outraged by a bias is perfectly legitimate, and informs your decisions about whether to use a service. How would you feel if it were revealed that Slashdot had been secretly owned Apple for several years?

  18. Re:Yes? on Google Deal Allegedly Lets UMG Wipe YouTube Videos It Doesn't Own · · Score: 1

    In a business relationship wouldn't this sort of agreement have to be disclosed? The people working full-time creating content for youtube would probably be interested in UMG's editorial practices.

  19. Re:This is why I don't believe in compulsory votin on Czech Nationwide Census Shows Jump In Jedi Knights · · Score: 1

    There is no side to like least because the two-party system is a rigged system that only allows you to vote for one political establishment. The candidates selected by the establishment might have idiosyncrasies since they are human, but because they are human they also change their minds and lie so there is no rational basis to choose between them. While there might be independent candidates on the ballot, the system makes it impossible for them to be elected, so voting for them is a gesture without meaning.

  20. Re:Why did this story get promoted for all to see? on Why the NTSB Is Wrong About Cellphones · · Score: 1

    So is driving over 10mph.

  21. The courts are pretty biased towards coercing every defendant to plead guilty. And our savior Obama is about to pass a law revoking the right to a trial for enemies of the state. So you can't say they aren't consistent.

  22. Re:Amen to all that on A Quarter of the EU Has Never Used the Web · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a failure to implement technology fully. You should be able to print a postage label for pickup, and the refund should be issued when the package tracking shows that it was lost. You should be able to schedule onetime payments to be paid exactly on the date you choose. You should be able to resolve issues on the website, since the representatives on the phone just follow computer prompts anyway. And you should be able to use anonymous electronic payment methods. Technology has downsides, but its enormous potential for efficiency means that if you find one it is probably because someone is standing in its way.

  23. Re:this is not a silver bullet. amsterdam proves i on Google Donating $11.5M To Fight Modern Slavery · · Score: 1

    Is it really that hard to send in a cop to screw some whores? If one says she is there against her will she leaves with the cop and the brothel is shut down. Maybe there are threats being made against her family which will shut her up, but that is not a problem with prostitution but of law and order in the home country. Her and family's life is going to be shit no matter what until that situations changes.

  24. Re:Legalize it. on Google Donating $11.5M To Fight Modern Slavery · · Score: 1

    Feminism has become doctrine, and the clock can't be turned back. Even countries with great traditions of whoredom like France are on the path to prohibition.

  25. Re:hipaa violation as well? on Judge Orders Man To Delete Revenge Blog · · Score: 1

    If you insist that women can only fuck aggressive guys, and suggest that aggressive behavior be eliminated, the conclusion is that there is no fucking.

    New plot:
    * Guy likes girl
    * Guy watches softcore porn
    * Girl gets a cat
