  1. WHEN- on White House Says Hard Drives Were Destroyed · · Score: 1

    is the Congress gonna quit dicking around and finally IMPEACH Bush & Chaney?
    I'm getting sick of the dancing around in order to allow this idiot to continue in office.

  2. No fricking suprise on Identity Theft Rates Among Top Banks · · Score: 1

    I've had an identity theft after I paid off a Mastercard that I had thru Capitol One.Fortunately for me,I had closed the account and had a letter stating that the account had a 0 balance and was closed.Turned out that some of their employees had reactivated the account and purchased about $6000 worth of stuff.I took Capitol One to court and forced them to investigate.The culprits were caught and the account was ordered cleared.I also collected punitive damages.
    I do not have a credit card now nor do I want one.Too much trouble.I froze my credit report so another identity theft would have a very hard time of getting thru the system.

  3. Re:Sound familar? on Thou Shalt Not View The Super Bowl on a 56" Screen · · Score: 1

    I didn't think of that. I figured that being ripped to subatomic particles would preclude punishing any other universe with their presence.

  4. Sound familar? on Thou Shalt Not View The Super Bowl on a 56" Screen · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the NFL is adopting the attitude of the RIAA." Let's declare war on our customers and rake in the cash!"
    Greedy Bastards should be subjected to death by black hole.(Drop them in,forever gone from our universe)

  5. Re:Fewest Users = Fewest Flaws on Microsoft Says Vista Has the Fewest Flaws · · Score: 1

  10. Re:How old are you slashdot? on TV's "Mr. Wizard," Don Herbert, Dies At 89 · · Score: 1

    I am nearly 50 and I would tape Mr.Wizard's World for my daughters.I still have a few of the tapes(4 T-160s with the commercials cut out)The girls got a kick out of the show,same as I did when I was their age.
    My oldest now is in college with a major in forensics and she said what sparked that was watching those tapes and seeing hands-on science.
    Mr.Herbert inspired at least 2 generations and did it with class.For that and more,I am grateful that I was lucky enough to see the original show,which sparked my interest in electronics and later,computers
    Mr. Wizard,your work is done.Rest in peace,my friend.

  11. I remember on TV's "Mr. Wizard," Don Herbert, Dies At 89 · · Score: 1

    I remember the orginial MR. Wizard show and enjoyed it as a child.I'm sure that most people my age at least watched the show.
    My deepest prayers goes out to Mr.Herbert's family.

  12. About Time on Harvard Law Professor Urges University to Fight RIAA · · Score: 0

    Finally,the RIAA will be cut down as more and more people & institutions resist the Music Nazis and fight back.

  13. Re:Safeguards I use on Safeguards For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 1

    Just a guy pushed too far in another matter (Finally finished and it went my way totally).

  14. Re:Safeguards I use on Safeguards For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 1

    I am getting help.And the computer is physically bolted to the desk.(stripped the threads so undoing it will be very difficult.and the desk weighs over 300 pounds empty.)After looking over the options presented over a 12 hour period,further steps have been taken to make damn sure that nothing can be recovered.
    I consider the RIAA and MPAA to be criminal organizations,and like some other poster said,they will manufacture evidence if none is found.
    BTW,switched main HD this morning to allow the "clean"backup to update.
    I've lived the nightmare of being falsely accused of something before and have taken the never again attitude about it.
    If pissed off,I live by this: "Give your heart & soul to GOD,because your ass will belong to me after everything is said and done."
    I've yet to fail to make good on that.
    "Mess with the best,die like the rest"

  15. Re:Safeguards I use on Safeguards For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 1

    And try to prove there was any evidence there in the first place.
    Also a backup HD with a clean system takes less than 30 seconds to put in (it's run weekly to keep it updated).And the machine can be bolted to the desk.
    Theoretical situations,no matter how wild they seem,have a knack of showing up.
    Besides the music I listen to has been out of print for decades.I have them on vinyl LP records with a real good turntable.I don't buy Commercially made music CDs at all.never have,never will.I have purchased DRM-free indie music on occasion,making sure that the artist/group/label is not a member of the RIAA.
    Too tired tonight,getting scatter-brained and the anti-depressants have wore off.

  16. Re:Safeguards I use on Safeguards For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 1

    That's right.But of course I need just 2 seconds,too.Like I said,I don't care anymore.

  17. Safeguards I use on Safeguards For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 5, Interesting

    1.A loaded S&W .357 for use on the RIAA trolls trying to gain access to my house.(Under Ky Law I may defend my personal property using deadly force if I deem it necessary)
    2.A good self destruct device (easy to built and arm) for the hard drive(renders it absolutely useless to any forensic expert,since it physically destroys the platters.)
    3.I use an external drive to store the MP3 and other multimedia files on.Easily hidden,(like the old Varmit XL1000 CB Linear amps of decades past)
    Anyone wanting to seize my machine will pay dearly for trying.I just don't give a damn anymore since I had the nervous breakdown last year.
    That way,If the RIAA does get the machine,it will turn to scrap before they can get it 2 miles away.Paranoid? Sure,but with the corruption of the courts these days,these steps are needed.

  18. AHA! on Teens Actually Do Protect Their Online Profiles · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Not all kids are the idiots the right wingers think all of them are.

  19. Re:Illegal? on HP Dishonors Warranty If You Load Linux · · Score: 1

    Well,as I see it(and the Ky Attorney General's office as well--I asked)HP could be liable for a breach of contract suit as well as possible criminal penalties for not honoring the warranty.Hardware is hardware,not matter if you run M$ or Linux.Plain common sense.
    One more reason for breaking up Microsoft.
    HP,get with it.Windows is dying.Vista is a corporate suicide note.

  20. Re:What are the chances... on Audit Finds FBI Abused Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    None at all,with the current administration.Not a big suprise to me,although the courts have ignored the fact that the Patriot Act was and is unconstitutional from the start.
    Who is with me to go to D.C. and finally start to (physically)kick some political ass? My steel toed mining boots are waiting.So is my shotgun.

  21. Re:YouTube, not TheirTube on YouTube Set To Filter Content · · Score: 1

    And it becomes NO TUBE for me.When the large criminal media companies get their hooks into You Tube,I'll drop it like a radioactive hot potato.

  22. Re:I have two TRS-80 Model 100s on Good Vintage Computers? · · Score: 1

    I have an old Model 100 with the bar code reader that I use grocery shopping.Scares the hell out of the stores,they think that the state has sent an inspector to make sure the prices are as posted.(Not so suprisingly,a lot of stores show a price and charge another,usually higher.)
    On a local website,I post the results and tell about the cheaters.(Hey every penny counts nowdays) Keeps the bastards honest.

  23. Looks like S.O.S.(Same Old S--t) on Congressman Calls for Arrest of Security Researcher · · Score: 1

    The author is right in pointing out that security around an airport is a joke and is secure in name only.The Congressman should be arrested for gross stupidity and supporting the statis quo(Along with every politician in the Washington DC area)
    The thinking brain is a fast dissapearing trait in professional politicians.
    Do like I try to do.Re-elect no one.Throw the bastards out.

  24. RFID chips on Social Consequences and Effects of RFID Implants? · · Score: 2

    Sorry,but there is no way in hell I would EVER allow one of those put in.Mark of the beast..Government and corporations are NOT gonna be able to track my every movement.If it makes them nervous,good.It'll keep the bastards on their toes.

  25. Re:The article in full on NASA Science Under Attack · · Score: -1, Troll

    Don't be suprised if Mr. Hansen appears on Coast To Coast AM with Art Bell or George Noory.
    NASA has been hiding a lot of science facts over the years that they do not want to get out to the general public since it doesn't conform with the status quo.Such as drilling thru a fossil on Mars,let alone the orbital pictures on the Cydonia region SHOWING buildings(ruins).
    Unfortunatly for NASA,the truth usually comes out sooner than later.
