  1. Re:And Nothing Of Value Was Lost on Voicemail Hack Scandal Leads To Closure of UK Tabloid · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't get your hopes up.

  2. Re:This was the logical end on Don't Fly If You Just Had Surgery! · · Score: 1

    Saying that "the terrorists" are a force with a single is goal is like trying to put a face on Anonymous. There may be ones that would be satisfied if we surrendered those things but there are also plenty who wouldn't.

  3. Re:Every person's right on Terry Pratchett Considers Assisted Suicide · · Score: 1

    There are few ways that can more seriously muck up your life than manipulating you into ending it prematurely.

  4. Re:Every person's right on Terry Pratchett Considers Assisted Suicide · · Score: 2

    The problem is that there are many ways to drive a person to "voluntary" assisted suicide...

  5. Re:Well damn... on Terry Pratchett Considers Assisted Suicide · · Score: 1

    [citation needed]

  6. Re:Unionize this on Apple Store Employee Attempts To Form Union · · Score: 1

    There will always be a time when humans will be thrown into warfare. Either as a cost saving measure, or as an act of desperation.

  7. Re:Really? on Why Apple's DUI Checkpoint App Ban Is Stupid · · Score: 0

    You'll be pleased to know that I just spent way too much time thinking your signature, the benefits of being able to use a superior force in a given situation, and the possible effects of the Ninja Kill Law when applied to clone armies.

  8. Decrease the number on the road? on Why Apple's DUI Checkpoint App Ban Is Stupid · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Does it really decrease the total number on the road, or only the total number counted by police checkpoints?

    Also that old line on causation. You know the one.

  9. Re:War.... on Anonymous Steals 10,000 Iranian Government Emails · · Score: 1

    You act as if such a thing hasn't happened regularly throughout history. Things aren't new just because they take place on the internet.

  10. Re:Sounds like on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 1

    I might point out that nowhere are companies required to label their products as GM. There is no way to tell if what you are buying is or isn't.

  11. Re:You may not have noticed... on AppleCare Reps Told To Skirt Malware Questions · · Score: 1

    That's irrelevant. The only reason a Windows computer get malware on it is because the user does something stupid. The number of stupid users doesn't make the product itself inherently infected with malware.

  12. Re:no substitute for the real thing on Ask Slashdot: DOSBox, or DOS Box? · · Score: 1

    Shh. Old faiths die hard.

  13. Re:Slow down and THINK before you use these. on Capturing Solar Power With Antennae · · Score: 1

    You do realize that he posts almost this exact same post on every few threads merely to generate responses like yours?

  14. Re:Works from 6 feet on Fingerprint Scanner That Works From 6 Feet · · Score: 1

    It requires the feet of six security officers in order to operate.

  15. Re:Religion has to die first. on Bill Clinton Suggests Internet Fact Agency · · Score: 1

    You take away religion and people will simply turn to having senseless faith in other things. Don't think the problem could be solved that easily.

  16. Re:/. Hypocrisy? on Japan Says No To PlayStation Network Restart · · Score: 2

    Because it is different people giving the different views on the same subject.

  17. Re:Definitely a serious problem on The Rise of Filter Bubbles · · Score: 1

    So while rebelling against authority is a positive trait, rebelling against your peers (or horror of horrors, making them feel inferior) makes you a scumbag. This has been the truth throughout history.

  18. Re:How long do you suppose it will be... on One-Way Sound Walls Proven Possible · · Score: 1

    Anyone can do that now if they can walk up next to your house reasonably quietly. No, it's far to impractical for even the black helicopter crews to want to mess with.

  19. Re:Really necessary? on One-Way Sound Walls Proven Possible · · Score: 1

    We would only be a few microbes swimming around an empty ocean planet because, hey, just surviving is good enough.

  20. Re:Facebook: putting ing in your soc on Facebook Wants To Buy Skype · · Score: 1

    Yeah, there's no way that Facebook is going to be handing out cake.

  21. Re:Nintendo doesn't have a choice, they must compe on What Developers Want From the Wii's Successor · · Score: 1

    True hardcore gamers play in ASCII.

  22. Re:Beware still on Wikileaks Says Public Forced Canadian DMCA Delay · · Score: 1

    You you really believe any other party would do differently? They're all being lobbied by the same industry goons. The Liberals, Green, and NDP would probably end up doing exactly the same.

    That said, I'm voting for the Pirate Party this election.

  23. Re:Slashvertisement on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    Yes, it is. Right now. The horse was also the most efficient method of travel for thousands of years and the blade the most efficient weapon.

    This hasn't been in development nearly so long as the aeroplane or machine gun. Heck, computers haven't even. Give it a chance before you brush it off as a dead end.

  24. Re:an all seeing eye in every house on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    You do realize that it would be more practical just to mount a touch screen with a camera hidden separately next to it, right?

    Anyway, this tech sounds like another 3D mouse technology, as soon as you drop the remote, you're tracking free.

  25. Re:millimeter accuracy on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 2

    ...Why is this modded informative? I didn't even read the article.

    What is wrong with you?
