  1. Reminds me of a commercial. on Light Painting Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    More bars, in more places. That's wifi.

  2. Re:What's the penalty for HTTPS? on Twitter Joins the HTTPS By Default Party · · Score: 1

    Most sites do.

  3. Re:Paying back those Hollywood donors on White House Wants New Copyright Law Crackdown · · Score: 1

    State's Rights simply shifts the burden of where the governing needs to happen to the state level. It doesn't abolish any sort of economic or political philosophy. That said, the "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" line in the preamble suggests that this country has drifted a long way to the right since it's founding. Someone should grab the wheel and get us back on the road before we hit the bar ditch on the shoulder.

  4. Re:Paying back those Hollywood donors on White House Wants New Copyright Law Crackdown · · Score: 1

    That's not the goal. It's our government, we should have it work for us. If you want less government involvement, move someplace where there's less government. Like Somalia. Or Tunisia. Or Egypt. Don't try to drag the rest of us back because you have a failed, fairy tale idea promoted by a dead actor on how this country is supposed to work.

    And people wonder why I vote Socialist. Go Bernie Sanders!

  6. Re:Bad idea! on Twitter Joins the HTTPS By Default Party · · Score: 1

    Their problem isn't the lack of HTTPS, it's the lack of free speech. Nice scarecrow, though.

  7. Re:Bad idea! on Twitter Joins the HTTPS By Default Party · · Score: 1

    You can steal the session cookie from someone using twitter using an unsecured network (such as a public wifi) - and then spam the crap out of his feed, or change some settings or something.

    Boo hoo. It's Twitter. Who gives a shit? Until you can post more than 140 characters, unless you and your audience speak Korean, Japanese, Cherokee or some other language that uses ideograms or a syllabary instead of an alphabet, it's next to impossible to express a cogent thought on a level higher than "I'm hungry" on Twitter.

  8. Re:HTTPS does cache on Twitter Joins the HTTPS By Default Party · · Score: 1

    It's the middle tier that I'm worried about, since most of the bandwidth used by Twitter is for common objects displayed on all pages, like the CSS, the images, etc. These don't change. And most browsers only cache HTTPS for a single session.

  9. Re:What's the penalty for HTTPS? on Twitter Joins the HTTPS By Default Party · · Score: 4, Informative

    Most sites expect you to enter the current password to be able to change it, even if you are logged in.

  10. Bad idea! on Twitter Joins the HTTPS By Default Party · · Score: 1

    A big problem I see with this is 1) Twitter isn't carrying important personal data, 2) in fact, quite the opposite, except for login credentials to sign in, and that's always been HTTPS anyway, 3) HTTPS does not cache. We should be encouraging sites to be more cachable and more ISPs to adopt proxies like Squid, not cripple their ability to reduce traffic leaving/entering the network.

  11. And now for some conventional wisdom. on Cutting Prices Is the Only Way To Stop Piracy · · Score: 1

    For that, we go to Toot Braunstein. Toot?

  12. This still doesn't answer the question... on How AT&T Totally Flubbed 4G · · Score: 0

    ...and I think it's one that everybody's wanted the answer to. "What's a Bieber?"

  13. Not nearly as impressive as... on NASA Worker Falls To His Death On Launch Pad · · Score: 1

    ...having your body scattered across 10 states. RIP, Columbia.

  14. Re:What's average Netflix datarate? on AT&T To Introduce Broadband Caps · · Score: 0

    From TFA: UVERSE is included in the cap.

  15. Payola on Doom Creator Says Direct3D Is Now Better Than OpenGL · · Score: -1, Troll

    So, how much did Microsoft pay Carmack to say that?

  16. OpenStreetMap trolls? on $30 GPS Jammer Can Wreak Havok · · Score: 1

    This is just what we need, a cheap way for idiots to troll OpenStreetMap surveyors...

  17. Google already did it on Facebook May Bust Up the SMS Profit Cartel · · Score: 1

    I mean, isn't this exactly why Google Voice exists?

  18. Re:What the hell? on Canonical To Divert Money From GNOME · · Score: 2

    Oops, should have picked Debian.

  19. Re:Linux vendor discovers revenue stream on Canonical To Divert Money From GNOME · · Score: 2

    Something about biting the hand that feeds...

  20. Accreditation? on New Internal Cavity X-ray Technology for Airports · · Score: 1

    Will the people operating these scanners be required to be accredited by the ARRT as is the norm in hospitals?

  21. Re:but... on Google x86 Native Browser Client Maybe Not So Crazy After All · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I was wondering if anybody was going to bring that up. Seems really quite silly and stupid unless this is architecture-independent.

  22. New slogan... on DARPA Open-Sources Military Vehicle Design · · Score: 0

    DARPA. We Are Out of Ideas.

  23. Re:get a real Internet connection... on Ask Slashdot: Is There a War Against Small Mail Servers? · · Score: 1

    Let's just ignore the fact the Internet is supposed to be peer to peer and equal access! That's the answer! Seriously, the idea that one shouldn't host their own services is the kind of mentality that makes me hope the fleas of a thousand camels infest the erogenous zones of the people who suggest that.

  24. It has to be said... on Decency Group Says "$#*!" Is Indecent · · Score: 1

    Fuck your children. Today belongs to me.

  25. Re:Hey lets let em all engage in antitrust on FTC Greenlights Google-AdMob Deal · · Score: 1

    No doubt, though this kind of situation is when it's usually easiest to become self-employed.
