  1. Re:About time to arm ourselves on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    Republican: A Democrat with money

  2. Re:Is there anyone left on this planet ... on Bono Hopes Content Tracking Will Help Media Moguls · · Score: 1

    The ones to ask that would be the folks who are waiting in line at the entrance of a sold out U2 concert..

    Just sayin' :-)

  3. "...where music, film, TV and video games on Bono Hopes Content Tracking Will Help Media Moguls · · Score: 1

    help to account for nearly 4 percent of gross domestic product..."

    And bootlegging accounts for the other 96%..

  4. Re:Good grief. on New Zealand Cyber Spies Win New Powers · · Score: 1

    Online banking, and any other encrypted communication should be private by default.

    Well the thing is that it isn't. You can trust that it is private, but you will never know

  5. Re:We're doing it to ourselves on Using Fourth-Party Data Brokers To Bypass the Fourth Amendment · · Score: 1

    Do we have any realistic (effective) options to punish politicians for not keeping their promises?

    And despite breaking their promises, they are frequently reelected by the same public. Why is everybody trying to pass the blame for their own failures? A mass movement needs to be consciously controlled if it is to be controlled at all. We shouldn't be talking violence before taking the very first step of accepting responsibility. So for now, even the feeblest effort to vote them out (including entire corrupt parties - democrat/republican, PRI/PAN, etc) might have the desired effect.

  6. Re:in soviet russia web site Censors you! on Canadian Censorship Takes Down 4500 Sites · · Score: 1

    Don't know if it's the same in Canada, but in the states, ballot nominees are also determined by the voters during the primaries. And it's up to the voter to make sure they seek out and nominate the right lizard.. as opposed to waiting for FOX to present their endorsements to them. If we continue to refuse to take conscious control of our government and economy, we simply have no one else to blame...

  7. Re:Are you colleagues or janitors? on Uniforms For the Help Desk? · · Score: 1

    ...colleagues or janitors?

    I am a robot. The content of my job means nothing. It's the quality that counts. Ultimately I always set the conditions. So does everybody else. We all do what we consider "acceptable".

  8. Re:I like uniforms on Uniforms For the Help Desk? · · Score: 1

    ...maybe your business casual is a bit too casual?

    What do you have against boxers and tank top? Personally, at the right price, I wear whatever they tell me. It's all acting. If the uniform is provided, that much better.

  9. Re:Consistency or hypocrisy? on Nokia Claims Patent Violations in Most Apple Products · · Score: 1

    But please, do continue to show what a fucking retard you are.

    Ah yes.. most insightful, definitely livens things up.. just like the good ol' AOL days :)

  10. Lawsuits on Nokia Claims Patent Violations in Most Apple Products · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Kind of a neat way to maintain high public exposure, but can it be cheaper than regular advertising? Aside from the freebie here on the front page? Only their accountants know for sure.. I gotta admit.. the drama angle plays pretty good.. cliffhangers and everything.

  11. Re:in soviet russia web site Censors you! on Canadian Censorship Takes Down 4500 Sites · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The sad thing is the alternatives aren't much better.

    Then I would suggest voting for better alternatives.

  12. Troll/Countertroll on UK Consumers To Pay For Online Piracy · · Score: 1

    Jane, you ignorant bitch. You have it backwards. Copyright is the privilege, not the right to view divulged information, knowledge, Britney,whatever.. AND... it's supposed to be a temporary privilege.. So it's the content "owners" who are attempting the grand larceny here.

  13. Re:Know your enemy on UK Consumers To Pay For Online Piracy · · Score: 1

    Since when should a decent politician(oxymoron) be "provided"? It's the public's obligation to seek them out and "draft" them into service.. and I mean SERVICE.. not a career. Our political/economic system is our own cross to bear. Do not look beyond your own nose for any misfortunes you suffer from it.

  14. Re:More than just China and aircraft on China's DIY Aviators Take Flight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People will trade information on technologies, how-to information, plans, and parts to make sophisticated products in their home or workshop.

    Yeah well, don't be so optimistic. You can bet there are certain groups who will always be out to nip that kind of thing at the bud.

  15. Well well well... on Court Orders Shutdown of H-1B Critics' Websites · · Score: 1

    Copyright used as a censorship tool.. Gee! Who'd a thunk?

  16. 2012.. poles flip.. Canary Islands landslide on North Magnetic Pole Moving East Due To Core Flux · · Score: 1

    Uh oh...

    This oughta keep all our psychic friends happy..

  17. What he is doing would be illegal... on GSM Decryption Published · · Score: 1

    Good thing he's not in the states or Britain. I hope he doesn't plan on visiting or get extradited to either.

    ...governments and intelligence agencies... well-funded criminal organization.

    To anyone who says there's a difference, I want proof.

  18. Re:Nice on China Debuts the World's Fastest Train · · Score: 1

    And they use mail hooks to pick up new ones?

  19. Re:China debuts human rights abuses on China Debuts the World's Fastest Train · · Score: 1

    Nice argument.. provided we don't single out the Chinese. The Americans still hold more people in it's prisons. And when are we going to stop buying Saudi oil? Sugar and oranges from Brasil? Afghani opium? Colombian coke? Boycotting the last two could entirely bankrupt the war machine.

  20. Re:China debuts human rights abuses on China Debuts the World's Fastest Train · · Score: 1

    Well, if you want someone to blame, blame US corporations...go look to the Americans whose insatiable desire for cheap mass-produced goods has fed their gluttony

    Say whaaat? Make up your mind! Which is it?

  21. New feature on Amazon Sells More Ebooks On Christmas Than Real Books · · Score: 2, Interesting

    All "books" come with disappearing ink.

  22. Re:Result on Man Tries To Use Explosive Device On US Flight · · Score: 1

    Expect them to paint the windows over, and then you'll watch some cheap facsimile of some scenery on the monitor.. for a small fee of course

  23. Re:Wait, what? on Fraudulent Anti-Terrorist Software Led US To Ground Planes · · Score: 1

    Playboy? Articles? Hell, 80% of the people here doesn't read Slashdot for the articles. The other 20% is lying.

  24. 3mbps for facebook... on Really Misleading Ads From Broadband Providers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Block the ads, and you can probably get away with 300 baud..

  25. Re:Wrong technology on "Home Batteries" Power Houses For a Week · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't want a house battery I'd have to replace every few years.

    It's very difficult to sustain an economy if durable goods are actually durable.
