  1. Re:unplusgood on Man Arrested For Linking To Online Videos · · Score: 2

    Is Iraq and Afghanistan any closer? The US can exercise its muscle where it pleases, in case you haven't noticed. The constitution is just an old relic from grade school history classes.

    the regulations with regard to tweet semantics to protect the core Twitter experience

    Oh dear.

    Exactly.. Was that for real?

  5. Re:Damn you, George W. Bush! on US Judge Orders Twitter To Give Up WikiLeaks Data · · Score: 0

    ...short of declaring himself emperor and ruling by decree.

    Executive order... signing statement.. he has plenty of options.

    doesn't mattah.. Obama is a stooge. He never intended on moving anybody, any more than he intends to end the wars. It was all just talk to pacify the "base" of suckers that voted for him. He's in full lockstep with everybody else.

  6. Re:Chilling effect on US Judge Orders Twitter To Give Up WikiLeaks Data · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The only thing protecting our 1st amendment rights, and all the others, is the will to use force in their defense. The paper is worthless without the will to back it up.

  7. Re:This is *NOT* capitalism on 'Son of ACTA' Worse Than Original · · Score: 1

    Feudalism and capitalism are not as distinct as they might seem.

  8. Re:good on 'Son of ACTA' Worse Than Original · · Score: 1

  9. more innocuous than a song on Hacking a Car With Music · · Score: 1

    until you bump into the RIAA..

    Just make sure not to play the stereo loud enough for anybody to hear it.

  10. Re:Why do they even go at different speeds on Tsunami Warnings Now Faster, More Accurate · · Score: 1

    If I left my house going 60 miles an hour, I would probably take a helluva spill. I think it would be better to pull over first.

    Opps, sorry... <Linky>

  12. Thank goodness for NOAA on Tsunami Warnings Now Faster, More Accurate · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A private service will charge a pretty penny for those warnings...

  13. Re:*UGH* How pitifully hysterical on Australia Creates Cyberwarfare Unit · · Score: 1

    Yes, the politicians are the clever ones. Actually it's the voters playing the part of the school girls as they fall for every trick in the book. Exactly the desired effect...

  14. *UGH* How pitifully hysterical on Australia Creates Cyberwarfare Unit · · Score: 3, Informative

    Bunch of school girls jumping up on their chairs when they see a mouse. If they could only see themselves.

  15. If you can make complete junk run real fast on First Look At Chrome 10 · · Score: 3

    You might be able to pretend you're not running complete junk. The benchmark should use a heavy Slashdot comment page. If it can load in three seconds, you gotta winner.

  16. Re:For Immediate Release on How Big Data Justifies Mining Your Social Data · · Score: 1

    Well first, you can forget about "policy". That will never work. Never has. And now it's too easy to hide the info you're collecting. We can only assume everything is being collected for some purpose or another. The issue isn't technical. People have to learn how to tune out the chaff. Just let it pass through completely unnoticed. And let them collect all the info they want. Just nail them to the wall if they try to use it against you. But all that crap requires a collective action. As an individual, the best thing you can do is simply zero out your debts as quickly as possible, and plant a nice garden...

  17. Re:For Immediate Release on How Big Data Justifies Mining Your Social Data · · Score: 1

    :) Excellent.. Thank you for understanding.. But you need a journal entry with a faux editorial. Detail details...

  18. Re:He can rationalize anything on King Wants To Sell Out Ham Radio · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He has no moral high ground.

    And it doesn't speak well of his constituents. What kind of people would vote for this man?

  19. Re:International agreements on King Wants To Sell Out Ham Radio · · Score: 1

    Someone needs to inform this congressman of the realities of how spectrum allocation works.

    Sorry, little mix up at the office. The check is in the mail.

  20. Re:Wrong! on King Wants To Sell Out Ham Radio · · Score: 1

    And the rest are the ones that vote for them.

  21. Re:You'll miss them in a disaster on King Wants To Sell Out Ham Radio · · Score: 1

    Somehow, I smell... in all of this...

    Well, you oughta.. You're standing in it

  22. Re:hehe on King Wants To Sell Out Ham Radio · · Score: 1

    That's not the issue. The government doesn't like ad hoc communications that don't go through proper channels. *cough*.

    It's too much like P2P

  23. Social Network Marketing on How Big Data Justifies Mining Your Social Data · · Score: 2

    The curse of the internet. It permeates everything with press releases being put out as "news" and editorials, with product placements and outright sales pitches. But the answer to his question should have been more than obvious... I'm fairly certain that if people understood what they were "signing", We'd see a different world.

  24. Re:That's a great theory on Town Expands To Boost Cooling For NSA Data Center · · Score: 1

    You would think they could recapture it.

    They damn well better. Did you know that water vapor is up to ten times worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas?

  25. Re:It was a wonderful internet while it lasted. on US House Subcommittee Votes To Kill Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    It's just the incentive we need to build something else, a bit more ad hoc..
