  1. Re:alliance on North Korean Hackers Are Targeting US Defense Contractors (wpengine.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you have a pulse.. and a conscious.. you cannot condone the continual violations of human rights.. the epic oppression of the people in his country while at the same time trying to make nice with this terrorist-in-charge.

    Interesting claim since he’s doing just that with China, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

  2. LOL @ thinking Slashdot is that important.

  3. Re:Unreasonable huh on DOJ: Strong Encryption That We Don't Have Access To Is 'Unreasonable' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Easy to say when you’re not facing the potential of being wrongfully convicted and receiving a far worse sentence.

  4. Maybe in an ideal world where no one has ever been wrongfully convicted. In the real world this has happened numerous times so many innocent people have taken plea bargains because the alternative of potentially being wrongfully convicted would be far worse.

  5. No lawyers involved

    You mean except for the fact that lawyers, aka the profession from which we get the vast majority of politicians, who passed the law?

  6. Re:Never rely on defaults... on 'How Chrome Broke the Web' (tonsky.me) · · Score: 1

    Someone overestimates how much value one random person’s Google account is to Google’s bottomline.

    Oh no! You canceled a free account! Their next quarter revenues are sure to be decimated because of this!

  8. Re:Letâ(TM)s fix something... on A Huge Redesign Is Coming To Snapchat (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    If users report that it’s hard to use how can you say it’s not broken?

  9. Re:That open letter... on MINIX: Intel's Hidden In-chip Operating System (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Not even a mention of the fact that it is used to spy on users...

    First prove your claim and maybe he would address it.

  10. Re:Grad schools discriminate on The Disappearing American Grad Student (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well if one person said so then clearly evey grad school program in every college must be exactly the same. *rolls eyes*

  11. Gibberish much? on The Disappearing American Grad Student (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Even as at the undergraduate level, 80 percent of the students are United States residents, that number, The New York Times reports, falls below 20 percent mark at the undergraduate level in several universities (Editor's note: the link could be paywalled).

    Could this sentence be written more poorly? Does msmash have a 2 year old’s mastery of English?

  12. Re:Diversity Maintained on Failure of Sprint/T-Mobile Merger Means a Missed Chance To Save $30B (kansascity.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would they have been referring to anything else? The article is about T-Mobile in the US.

  13. Re:SCO are Patent Trolls on Appeals Court Rules: SCO v. IBM Case Can Continue (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Except this is about copyrights not patents.

  14. Re:SCO still in business? on Appeals Court Rules: SCO v. IBM Case Can Continue (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    And yet people like yourself will use the term “stealing” in reference to using BSD code in full compliance with the license.

  15. Re:What The F---?? on Appeals Court Rules: SCO v. IBM Case Can Continue (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The Nazgul must not be that formidable or scary since SCO has kept the suit going on for more than a decade with no end in sight.

  16. Re:Linux is dying due to legal uncertainty on Software Freedom Law Center Launches Trademark War Against Software Freedom Conservancy (sfconservancy.org) · · Score: 1

    No, people understand what “free” means. You aspies have tried to redefine the term to only mean what you think not what 99% of people mean when they use it.

  17. Re:maybe a dumb question on Firefox Borrows From Tor Browser Again, Blocks Canvas Fingerprinting (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    Browsers were able to display graphics long before HTML 5 existed.

    Cool story, bro. Canvas is for procedurally generating graphics not just displaying something.

  18. Re:maybe a dumb question on Firefox Borrows From Tor Browser Again, Blocks Canvas Fingerprinting (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah it’s for generating 2D graphics.

  19. Neither does Aaron Swartz

    Except the event is about Aaron Swartz not this attention whore trying to glom onto Aaron’s notoriety.

  20. No he’s not. He’s not owed being mentioned at all.

  21. Some guy is attention whoring that he doesn’t get special mention on a day meant to celebrate someone else.

  22. Re:Broadcom also moving their HQ from Singapore to on Broadcom Explores Buying Qualcomm (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Except it’s Qualcomm that filed suit against not Broadcom.

  23. Re:You insensitive clod! on Ask Slashdot: Why Do We Still Commute? (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    Cool story, bro.

  24. Re:Why do "we" need to commute? on Ask Slashdot: Why Do We Still Commute? (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    The article is clearly about tech jobs hence all the references to computers.

  25. Re:One Example Where Commuting Doesn't Work on Ask Slashdot: Why Do We Still Commute? (citylab.com) · · Score: 2

    So then wouldn’t that be an example where commuting does work?
