  1. Re:Develop a test on Do Sleepy Surgeons Have a Right To Operate? · · Score: 2

    Pfft! We've had that for almost 50 years..

  2. Re:Namebench DNS tool on Beware of Using Google Or OpenDNS For iTunes · · Score: 1

    ...namebench runs a fair and thorough benchmark using your web browser history...

    No small gold mine there...

  3. Join us tomorrow for part 2 on World's Plant Life Far Less Diverse Than Thought · · Score: 0

    When we show the universe is not as old as we thought...

  4. We're not so diverse either on World's Plant Life Far Less Diverse Than Thought · · Score: 1

    There's only one human race.

  5. I have a much better name for it on A Guitar Robot That Can Really Shred · · Score: 1

    Cacophony!

    I hope that's not what rock music sounded like to my father... Holy Jesus! What a racket that thing makes! Perfect for a burglar alarm though... Could even scare off stray dogs

  6. Re:Good Riddence! on Kodachrome Takes Its Final Bow Today · · Score: 1

    Well, it's like records and tube amps. They have a certain "warmth" you don't get with digital and solid state :-)

  7. Re:App names? on Android Trojan Found, Spreading From Chinese App Stores · · Score: 0

    Shirley, you jest!

  8. Re:App names? on Android Trojan Found, Spreading From Chinese App Stores · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...Um, what if you are Chinese?

    Sucks to be you.

    Doesn't it though?

    Enjoy...

  9. So what if she wins it on Democrats Crowdsourcing To Vote Palin In Primaries · · Score: 1

    You people actually think it will make a damn bit of difference? Don't delude yourselves, and don't confuse the office of the presidency with the person who occupies it. One has nothing to do with the other.

  10. Re:Learning about rebellion on 4chan Has Been DDOSed · · Score: 1

    If the FBI or the CIA want to shut down anything, they call a Scientologist. Even the great and wonderful Slashdot can't stand under the weight.

  11. Re:It is still different HW on AMD Radeon HD 6950 Can Be Unlocked To HD 6970 · · Score: 1

    Or more likely, funky, no lead solder

  12. Re:Should anybody really be supprised... on Amazon Cloud Not Big Enough For Feds and WikiLeaks · · Score: 2

    ...Hillary was stealing credit card numbers from foreign diplomats...

    What? Campaign season is just around the corner. You think she can afford all those hats on her salary?

  13. You mean there's only one cloud? on Amazon Cloud Not Big Enough For Feds and WikiLeaks · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And Amazon is it? Why aren't we all making our own little clouds? Oh yeah, the ISPs are trying to stamp that out. I guess there can only be one.

  14. Just warp the chip to bring the data closer on IBM Makes a Super Memory Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    ...the information would automatically slide along the racetrack to where it could be used.

    Ahhh, bring the mountain to Mohammed...

  15. Re:Talk about a vague patent... on Paul Allen Amends Lawsuit Against Facebook, Apple · · Score: 1

    More early patent trolling. A form of eminent domain is needed as long as people keep trying to claim that we're dealing with real property here. And the states should have a right to tax it as such as long as it can be held privately with restricted access.

  16. Another application on Cheaters Exposed Analyzing Statistical Anomalies · · Score: 2

    I would like to apply this idea to see when a politician is lying. But then I realized it would just overload. So then I figure we should try to see if it can detect when they are telling the truth. That way you work with a much smaller data set. Damn near zero. So it looks to be a total failure.. Nevermaind

  17. Re:Na na na na na na na na fishing. on Why WikiLeaks Is Unlike the Pentagon Papers · · Score: 1

    Anarchy doesn't have to turn into feudalism any more than democracy does. It just happens.. for basically the same reasons it always has done so in the past. The "comfortable" feudalism we enjoy today is still just as feudal as days of old. We've just managed to offshore the less palatable parts. The freedoms you enjoy today came from anarchists and vagabonds, prostitutes and smugglers, people who don't put up with bullshit, not from your "smart and respected" people. They did all they could to stamp it out before the ink was dry.

    We can punish these authoritarians by voting them out of office.

    Yes well, I have a small problem with a tyranny by a complacent, irrational majority also.

  18. Re:No it's not Wikileaks that is negative impactin on Why WikiLeaks Is Unlike the Pentagon Papers · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I remember hearing the same thing when the idiots were blaming Bush's victory on the people who voted for Nader. Basically the whole issue is to divert attention away from the leaks.

  19. Re:Secrecy is necessary for Diplomacy on Why WikiLeaks Is Unlike the Pentagon Papers · · Score: 1

    North Korea is a rogue state. So China attacks Tibet and their own people, and the Americans attack Afghanistan and Iraq. I guess nobody really gives a damn about those three and a half million starving people. What a load of shit!

  20. Re:Secrecy is necessary for Diplomacy on Why WikiLeaks Is Unlike the Pentagon Papers · · Score: 1

    ...Israel has only started one war...

    Yeah, and it has been going on for almost 65 years now... Almost a hundred if you want to include British occupation, which just happens to be what Iraq is under now, using American muscle... Time to end it.. Like now?

  21. Re:Na na na na na na na na fishing. on Why WikiLeaks Is Unlike the Pentagon Papers · · Score: 1

    Anarchy turns into fuedalism...

    Then it's not anarchy, is it? The thing is that everything turns into feudalism when we let it. A little bit of disruption and anarchy is how you avoid that. Show the authoritarians that nothing lasts forever, least of all their power.

  22. Re:Without specifics, I think we should be wary... on Assange Has Signed Book Deals Worth $1.5 Million+ · · Score: 1

    There is no such crime as "sex by surprise."

    Tell that to the snail that was raped by a tortoise... "I don't remember.. It happened so fast..."

  23. Why survey the scientists? on IBM Projects Holographic Phones, Air-Driven Batteries · · Score: 1

    They should survey their patent attorneys. Nothing goes out without their stamp.

  24. Re:Unfortunately ethanol requires more land use on Once-Darling Ethanol Losing Friends In High Places · · Score: 0

    Get out of your urban prison. Take a little drive through Nevada, and tell me how crowded it is. It doesn't all look like Hong Kong yet. We have some time before we approach this

  25. Re:Traitorware? on EFF Offers an Introduction To Traitorware · · Score: 0

    If you ever want to work on Madison Ave, you'll have to do better than that. I believe the word you want is homicide bomber... As seen on TV. It's got a nice catchy ring to it.
