  1. Re:Refused? on Australian Web Filter To Censor Downloaded Games · · Score: 1

    This post is a perfect example of why arguing against censorship should be illegal.

  2. Re:Their censor software was written by a Lunix us on Australian Web Filter To Censor Downloaded Games · · Score: 1

    I think he meant this

  3. Re:False dichotomy on Pirate Bay Retrial Denied, Judge Declared Unbiased · · Score: 1

    I believe the TPB are entirely innocent under existing Swedish law, regardless of their morality.

  4. Re:Why LOTRs? on Iran Tries To Pacify Protesters With Lord of The Rings Marathon · · Score: 1

    LotR is about 300 people owning 10000 of the stupid masses because the masses are just that stupid and incapable of defeating the glorious king and his men. Star Wars is about rebels bringing down the evil empire. Which message do you want the Iranian public to receive?

    It's intended for lynx, you GUI-requiring morons.

    He said vaccuum. With 2 Cs.

  7. Re:Prosecuting thought crime not helping on Tennesee Man Charged In "Virtual Pornography" Case · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Or, alternatively, if photoshopped child porn is indistinguishable from the real variety then you assume that all porn is photoshopped because no one who wants to make child porn would go through the trouble of abusing children.

  8. One way I handle things on How To Get Out of Developer's Block? · · Score: 1

    I've done some simple coding projects on my own, and what I usually do is try to get a minimum level of functionality first, then add features. It helps you see your work in progress, unlike code that is useless until 100% completed.

  9. Re:Look for unmatched parentheses on How To Get Out of Developer's Block? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I use Python, you insensitive clod!

  10. Re:Two words on Nielsen Recommends Not Masking Passwords · · Score: 1

    And since you can usually type your password 3-5 times faster than anything else because you use it so much it's often too fast even if someone's staring at your keyboard.

  11. Re:My Rights Online? on Middle-School Strip Search Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    67% of the name of the category fits with this article. I'd like to see a category that fits better.

    I'm sure the cows will love whatever collection mechanism you're thinking of.

    I'm peoples. So do I.

  14. Re:If you give up the inch, they'll take the mile on NASA Sticking To Imperial Units For Shuttle Replacement · · Score: 1

    I think celsius is more human. No other temperature scale properly captures the fundamental change in the environment between -1'C and +1'C

  15. Re:*rolleyes* on Has Google Broken JavaScript Spam Munging? · · Score: 1

    Keeping email addresses protected is often about anti-spam, not security. Security breaches are rare, but severe, so you want no breaches, but anti-spam is about volume reduction.

  16. Re:Yarrrrr... on Norwegian Lawyers Must Stop Chasing File Sharers · · Score: 1

    Because a monopoly is not the only way to make money from your hard work?

  17. Re:No, he's NOT saving money on Switching To Solar Power, One Year Later · · Score: 1

    You forgot to compound the money he pays for electricity.

    Now that the google translate meme started, it can't stop.

    man

    Through http://tashian.com/multibabel/ once with the Asian languages:

    Person
    Personnels
    Personnel
    Staff
    Team of employees

    Again without the Asian languages:

    Equip with employees
    Supply yourselves with employees
    Refueling same you with the employees

    It all goes down from there...

    (finish that cycle and do it again)

    Ignition of base one of the parity of the employees fills above

    Such is the fall of man...

    No, they had to have people walking in front with red flags, which defeated the purpose of having a car in the first place.

  20. Re:Lol Democracy on US Open Government Initiative Enters Phase Three · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Remember it's the burden of proof of those that want legalization not those that view it as being harmful.

    In terms of the way the system should be working, the default is anarchy and any deviation from that default must be justified, and it must continue to be justified to stay in law.

  21. Re:News From Slashdot 2029 on Wind Could Provide 100% of World Energy Needs · · Score: 1

    So all the mechanical and digital clocks stop being accurate? Sounds like good news for the sundial industry!

    Yes (and this is funny)

    No, it's offtopic, just like this post.

  23. Re:Don't benchmark it on Ubuntu on Firefox 3.5RC2 Performance In Windows Vs. Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just because you can justify Linux's inferiority in this one area doesn't mean that we don't need to improve it.

  24. Re:LoJack for your iPhone? on Tracking Thieves With 'Find my iPhone' · · Score: 1

    The problem with that is that it ignores the higher population density of cities. A city with 50 times as much crime per year per square kilometer is still safer if it has 60 times as many people in it.

  25. Re:that's nothing- try the political conventions h on Mass Arrests of Journalists Follow Iran Elections · · Score: 1

    Because Reporters Without Borders specializes in a specific category of human rights abuse, leaving other types to other organizations. It's impossible to dedicate your life to everything.
