  1. Re:Remeber kids, stay safe and legal! on Teens Share Passwords As a Form of Intimacy · · Score: 1

    I hate to break it to you, but the TOS agreement you signed when you join practically any online service does explicitly give them the power to disable your account if you share your password with other people. They are not your accounts.

  2. Re:Can we please stop talking about this rubbish ? on Can NASA Warm Cold Fusion? · · Score: 1

    There are, in fact, flying cars on the market now too...

  3. Re:Honor and War on The New Transparency of War and Lethality of Hatred · · Score: 1

    However I suspect you would probably see far more brutality as a desperate war where the stakes are high has less time to bother with PR and a big reason to want revenge, justified or not.

  4. Re:I'd go a step further on Do Online Educational Badges Threaten Conventional Education Models? · · Score: 1

    All those reasons are caused by poor education and instilling of priorities...

  5. Re:Show some balls google on French Court Frowns On Autocomplete, Tells Google To Remove Searches · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You know, cheering for an already absurdly powerful tech company to irresponsibly throw its weight around every time someone steps on its toes seems like... well... a really terrible idea.

  6. Re:I await the day on Drones Within a Drone Riding a Balloon · · Score: 2

    Yes, and your enemies can go and refill bullet casings that you leave on their soil, and might shoot you with them. These are similarly cheap, disposable tech.

  7. Re:Anti-fracking goal on Earthquakes That May Be Related To Fracking Close Ohio Oil Well · · Score: 1

    No, no, no, no, no. Down that road lies madness and tears.

    That strategy will do nothing but come back to bite you a couple years down the road when your opponents are happy to wave aloft every statement of yours that they have proven rightfully false. The public perception will then be that since some of your claims have been proven false, all of your claims are suspect, and that your opponents' claims are likely true.

    Remember those don't do drugs PSAs? Remember when you realized that most of what they claimed was at least half bogus?

  8. Re:Have you talked to anyone? on Ask Slashdot: Handing Over Personal Work Without Compensation? · · Score: 1

    Of course... often the canned software for odd applications began its life as off custom software hacked up by some kid.

  9. Re:so uh why they'd support it? on Go Daddy Loses Over 21,000 Domains In One Day · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Someone needs to go and burn down the Capital building already.

  10. Re:First Yea!!! on IBM Tracks Pork Chops From Pig To Plate · · Score: 1

    The problem being that the actual local farmers won't be able to afford to implement this kind of tracking system...

  11. Re:Way to Go Universal! on YouTube Says UMG Had No 'Right' To Take Down Megaupload Video · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly sure most of the internet knows what the Streisand Effect is. It's not the one you're thinking of.

  12. Re:WOW we are all income tax *partial* slaves... on Google Donating $11.5M To Fight Modern Slavery · · Score: 1

    In biblical terms, the Egyptians sold themselves into slavery to Pharaoh... which amounted to a 20% income tax. I suspect our standards may have slipped since then.

  13. Re:And again the content carrier becomes... on Verizon Considering Purchase of Netflix · · Score: 1

    Netflix is not a content producer. They are just another middleman.

  14. Re:Ah good old Kim on Pop Artists Support Megaupload; Universal Censors · · Score: 2

    Putting fake stories about yourself on the internet isn't rocket science.

  15. Re:I'm offended on India Moves To Censor Social Media · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's the thing though. I'm reading it literally. If taken at face value, your statement would, in fact, make a country completely inoperable.

  16. Re:I'm offended on India Moves To Censor Social Media · · Score: 2

    So how exactly do you propose to stop criminals without imposing on their civil liberties? How the heck do you propose that the constitution is even to be used if you are not going to interpret it? It's just inkblots on paper if you don't read it and convert it from ink to thoughts and concepts.

  17. Re:Gmail problem on Domain Theft-for-Ransom Hits css-tricks.com and Others · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And that one mod point I was saving for a post like this just expired.

  18. Re:Let's be REALISTIC on In the EU, Water Doesn't (Officially) Prevent Dehydration · · Score: 1

    The other liquids are only hydrating because they contain a large amount of water. The sugar in the soft drinks is not what hydrates you.

  19. Re:Occupy elrous0 on Occupy Flash? · · Score: 1

    Please. The Greeks have them loooong beat. Israelis are late to the party wannabes.

  20. Re:government on my internet? on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Does the government what? Sorry, I think something just happened to your connection.

  21. Re:Minors can use google without issue on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Google maps can help you find a hotel or a grocery store. Done.

  22. Woo hoo! on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 4, Funny

    /goes off to create websites with demented ToS.

  23. Re:So if we do as they ask... on IEA Warns of Irreversible Climate Change In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    And thus the conspiracy is revealed: Global warming is caused by Canadian farmers.

  24. Re:And they care. on IEA Warns of Irreversible Climate Change In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    Climate change is funded by Canadians. We want to stop having to shovel snow.
