  1. The Grid is inherently corruptable on The Myth of Going Off the Power Grid · · Score: 0

    Efficiency rates are irrelevant. Being on the grid, it is only a matter of time before you will be screwed. I'm sorry to say that the world is every man for himself by nature.

  2. It won't end by asking or voting for it on Ask Slashdot: What Will It Take To End Mass Surveillance? · · Score: 0

    Ed Snowden claimed that he wanted to "trigger" a debate, but is that really enough?

    A debate needs to begin somewhere/time.

    What will it take to tear down Big Brother?

    See 2nd Amendment to US Constitution.

  3. New Computer on Microsoft Reveals Windows 10 Will Be a Free Upgrade · · Score: 0

    will stop working after one year and demand a credit card? This could finally be the Holy Grail for Linux adoption.

  4. Re:No on Microsoft Reveals Windows 10 Will Be a Free Upgrade · · Score: -1

    Yeah, its free for the first year. Then you are forced onto a yearly license. Nice upgrade.

  5. done with Apple on iTunes' Windows Problem · · Score: 0

    iTunes was one of my primary reasons to move to Android. I haven't looked back yet.

  6. Never talk about speed on Getting the Most Out of SSH · · Score: 0

    How about an article discussing the pros and cons of various types of encryption including speed. Actually, what is the fastest encrypted file transfer protocol (don't say ftp in a vpn)? SCP seems to really fall down here.

  7. why stop there? on New York State Passes DNA Requirement For Almost All Convicted Criminals · · Score: 0

    For really violent criminals (that sign an agreement) they could make slave clones. Kind of like "The Island" but using the other end of the social spectrum.

  8. Re:Framing? on Iran War Clock Set At Ten Minutes To Midnight · · Score: 0

    Don't we have a left wing liberal as a president right now?

    You're f-in kidding, right?

    Well we elected a moderate. Now we have a hawkish lefty. The liberals will take us into Iran. War is what they do.

  9. Everyone stop saying "Not So Much" on Cloud To Create 14 Million Jobs? Not So Much · · Score: 1

    has everyone turned into an old jewish man?

  10. Re:competing currencies = good on Schmidt: Google Once Considered Issuing Currency · · Score: 1

    That really says something about the government and USD. But I concur, the best strategy would have been for Liberty Dollar to stick to coin at first until it was apparent the federal government wasn't going to try and steal it all. Then as the confidence grows, start issuing paper receipts. I can't see how the US govt. calling USLD counterfeit USD and putting von NotHaus in jail is different from the Stamp Act which ultimately lead to the (real) Boston Tea Party. Separately, with USD you DO have to worry about the government busting into the warehouse. Except for the fact that there is no warehouse, they just type it in the computer and "print" more money. That is stealing.

  11. competing currencies = good on Schmidt: Google Once Considered Issuing Currency · · Score: 1

    Well if it was backed in ANYTHING it would have more going for it that USD. Long live Liberty Dollar!

  12. They are only responding to Neil Young's demands on Master Engineer: Apple's "Mastered For iTunes" No Better Than AAC-Encoded Music · · Score: 1

    In this video interview with Neil Young, he states that dominant digital audio formats are inadequate and 'some rich guy' needs to build a new iPod that will play up to 30 albums. I don't think he's heard of flac or the Sansa Clip+ (or MOST Android devices).

  13. Re:ADD & Autism on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1
    If you re-read your response, you see that you just confirmed my 2nd statement. Also, in using fantastic and absurd comparisons to create an anchor for the reading audience to discredit the opposing view, you demonstrate how you have been conditioned to respond to anything challenging the position for which you have been programed to subscribe to. Lots of science there.

    If you dig (just a little) deeper than controlled mainstream 'news', you will find all kinds of studies/information. Now if you just want to read time/about/huffpost/nytimes/&c., than you can continue to confirm your beliefs and read how contrary studies have been de-bunked. I'm not going to show you how to use google. Do you need me to? Really?

  14. ADD & Autism on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that the huge spike in ADD & autism has nothing to do with the increase in vaccinations or the fact that those conditions often first develop coinciding with the vaccinations. And all the studies that have suggested this aren't real science because slashdot readers know which studies are valid and which should be dismissed.

  15. Makes sense too on Self-Guided Bullet Can Hit Targets a Mile Away · · Score: 1

    Rifling increases accuracy for a 'dumb' bullet. However, this bullet is receiving updates and making adjustments in flight, so rifling wouldn't make sense here. Doesn't matter. Until a box of cartridges sells for less than $30, it means nothing to me anyway.

  16. Re:You're not allowed to hate in America on Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name · · Score: 1

    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Don't forget that each State also has their own Constitution which defines them. In most cases (hopefully), the people wield the most power, then the States, lastly the United States. Wouldn't it be great if that actually happened.

  17. Re:This device empowers criminals. on NYPD Developing Portable Body Scanner For Detecting Guns · · Score: 1

    Guns are for hunting - who are you hunting on a plane?

    Whaa?

  18. Re:This device empowers criminals. on NYPD Developing Portable Body Scanner For Detecting Guns · · Score: 1

    If you're getting frisked, we're no longer talking about "law abiding citizens".

    I'll try to remember that next time I'm getting frisked at the airport (has happened a lot) or in the subway (has happened), since I'm no longer a "law abiding citizen".

  19. Re:what does "cryptographically scrambled" mean ? on Zappos Hacked: Internal Systems Breached · · Score: 2

    It was scrambled with hash. It was just supposed to be salted & peppered but the line cook put salsa on it and that's usually over easy. Crazy world today.

  20. Re:IT's easy... on Ask Slashdot: Which Candidates For Geek Issues? · · Score: 1

    Look at his foreign policy. He is the strongest anti-war candidate running in ANY party. He has proposed pulling ALL troops and ending ALL over seas bases.

  21. Re:IT's easy... on Ask Slashdot: Which Candidates For Geek Issues? · · Score: 1

    Ron Paul is completely against invading Iran and has been very clear about it.

  22. where is the COST of data actually on Data Hogs: the Monsters Carriers Created · · Score: 0

    More expensive hardware? More usage on the existing lines? Is it really that much? Where does the big expense actually come from?

  23. Re:State Of Mind on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 0

    It would take some serious kool-aide...

    Don't 'drink the Kool-Aid'

  24. Gotta Start Somewhere on Free Software Activists Take On Google Search · · Score: 0

    There are a lot of criticisms here, but hey it's a start. I am convinced that p2p is essential to the future of the Internet being at all useful and for humanity moving towards freedom rather than tyranny. Decentralization needs to occur at every useful application. The huge challenge is that obviously decentralization will always (well almost always) be infinity less efficient. Hang in there.

    You are a Flat-Earther if you don't want the government mandating you inject your child with drugs?
