    He did more than just vote.

  2. Re:I think this is bullshit on Brendan Eich Steps Down As Mozilla CEO · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You mean like how the right wingers boycotts TV/radio shows/movies and threaten sponsors when something is done that they don't like? What's good for the goose and all that jazz.

  3. Re:Oh, it's on SyFy? on Wil Wheaton Announces New TV Show · · Score: 1

    LOL. Do you also think liking Halo makes you geeky? Like the guy above me said, Borderlands is totally dudebro.

  4. Re:Haircuts are cheap on North Korea: Male University Students Required To Get Kim Jong-un Haircuts · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Here in the US, males 26 and older are forced to buy health insurance that includes pregnancy, even though pregnancy isn't a health condition for males.

    Yeah, and? Insurance plans have been that way for decades and decades.

  5. Re:Dumb move... on Ouya Dropping 'Free-to-Play' Requirement · · Score: 0

    But the Ouya was gonna make Microsoft and Sony absolutely terrified with their runaway success.

    Or at least that's what the brain-dead fanbois of Slashtardia claimed.

  6. Re:If its true then DNA is useless in foresnsics on Mute Witness: Forensic Sketches From Nothing But DNA · · Score: 2

    And I have a hard time believing any reasonable court of law would render judgement based on a DNA sketch without other concrete evidence.

    Why? Are you ignorant of history? There is a long list of people who have been wrongfully convicted because jurors were won over on fancy sounding but faulty DNA evidence.

  7. Re:JSON Sucks on OASIS Approves OData 4.0 Standards For an Open, Programmable Web · · Score: 1

    How is JSON hard to read? It's just lists of key/value pairs

  8. Re:JSON Sucks on OASIS Approves OData 4.0 Standards For an Open, Programmable Web · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yet the prevailing opinion seems to be that XML is absolute and total shit whereas JSON is some golden calf.

    And for good reason: XML is total shit.

  9. Re:Make Ubuntu work properly first on Shuttleworth Wants To Get Rid of Proprietary Firmware · · Score: 1

    But fixing bugs is hard!! Canonical is too busy code-churning for boring stuff like bug-fixing.

  10. Re:Remind me later on Target Ignored Signs of Data Breach · · Score: 1

    Blasted Slashdot! Apparently the profile link to "New Here" no longer works.

    Nope. He is, though.

  12. Re:Remind me later on Target Ignored Signs of Data Breach · · Score: 1

    Jesus fuck. It was a joke...

  13. Re:Oops on Target Ignored Signs of Data Breach · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    It was a joke, Admiral Aspergers.

  14. Re:To be fair? on Target Ignored Signs of Data Breach · · Score: 1

    They didn't miss the warnings. They simply ignored them.

  15. Re:Dupe on Replicant Hackers Find and Close Samsung Galaxy Back-door · · Score: 1

    No. It merely links directly to the FSF pos while the first one linked to other articles linking to the FSF post.

  16. Re:Wow on Replicant Hackers Find and Close Samsung Galaxy Back-door · · Score: 1

    I think the better question is: Are the editors even functionally literate?

  17. Dupe on Replicant Hackers Find and Close Samsung Galaxy Back-door · · Score: 5, Informative
  18. Maybe you should actually read the entire article?

  19. Re:Pretty easy. on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Prepare For the Theft of My Android Phone? · · Score: 1

    With an iPhone? It's only 1,000 possible PINs for that lock.

    Which is why they offer the passcode option for something longer.

    For Android, depending on ROM, the pin can get insanely long and you're pretty much boned.

    You need a ROM to get a long passcode? LOL. You can have an "insanely long" passcode in iOS simply by disabling the "simple passcode" option. I just typed in over 100 alphanumeric characters and it was still letting me type more when I stopped.

  20. Re:Sue? on Satoshi Nakamoto Found? Not So Fast · · Score: 1

    Not without malicious intent.

  21. Re:Sue? on Satoshi Nakamoto Found? Not So Fast · · Score: 1

    What private info? Outside of info from his family the rest of the info is in the public record.

  22. Re:Absolutely on Fedora To Have a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" For Contributors · · Score: 1

    If society found a law unjust, it would be repealed.

    In which fantasy land? "Society" has and still does uphold unjust laws all the time. What you describe is a tyranny of the majority.

  23. Re:Short answer: I don't on Ask Slashdot: Reviewing 3rd Party Libraries? · · Score: 1

    Which is sane, but if you use an open source OS and an open source Java stack, there are other people doing that kind of testing, and even more importantly, social pressure for the developers, because they know other people will be looking.

    That's funny since there was plenty of "social pressure" on GnuTLS about its crappy code and yet it had unfixed security flaws for most of a decade.

    Many of them are already industry lawyers to begin with.

    Except that a large percentage people on Atkins ended up regaining all the weight and then some and having higher body fat percentage to boot.
