  1. Re:Duhh... on FBI Violated Electronic Communications Privacy Act · · Score: 1

    When I pay for those things (schools, safety) a private organization is not profiting. That was the point.

  2. Re:12 hour shiths are not the ansaser on Half of All Data Centers Understaffed · · Score: 1

    I thought you were going to say "12 hour shifts are not so bad if you only work three or four of the 12 hours". Nine to eight hours on Slashdot is a little extreme though.

  3. Re:The upside for Netflix (and us) on Netflix Will Delay Renting New WB Releases · · Score: 1

    By "more content for its Internet streaming service this just means more content from the WB library. For all we know this is movies from the 1960s or 1970s, I love old movies but why they were not on there already is just artificial scarcity.

  4. Re:IMHO solaris has a really bad userland on The Best, Worst, and Ugliest OSes of the Decade · · Score: 5, Funny

    The beauty is Windows 7 is just Vista SP2 without that nasty Vista name attached. So if you already had Vista you had to pay a second time for 7. **KA-CHING

  5. Re:Please Do It, Italy! on After Berlusconi Attack, Italy Considers Web Censorship · · Score: 1

    It's cute that you think there are two choices.

  6. Re:laughable on Eolas Sues World + Dog For AJAX Patent · · Score: 1

    One other word: Blackwater

  7. Re:why is this even in question? on Supreme Court Takes Texting Privacy Case · · Score: 1
    The parent's point was that you should never ever expect privacy on a company device. A Supervisor may say its ok to browse donkey porn but that does not mean that you should expect privacy.

    They are still allowed to see what you did with their equipment. Is it then ok for them to change policy and make all new policy changes retroactive? Entirely up to the employer.

  8. Re:Great on Mozilla Thunderbird 3 Released · · Score: 1

    Originally the TB3 teams said they would include or merge Lightning in to TB3 then backed out. It's a shame. This is the only real missing feature. We really didn't need tabs and some of the other gimmicks.

  9. Re:How paywalls could work on Salon.com Editor Looks Back At Paywalls · · Score: 1

    I do pay for a pass monthly to millions of sites. It's called internet access. Unfortunately the people that provide access don't provide content. So independent publishers need to find some kind of alternate way to make money. I am not paying twice.

  10. Re:A Plea to the Rest-of-the-World on EU ACTA Doc Shows Plans For Global DMCA, 3 Strikes · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately they just brought a whole new idiot with a whole different secret agenda.

    Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

    I am so tired of it phrased this way as it makes it sound. You make it sound like Obama brought in this secret treaty with him to screw everyone for the media interests benefit. The treaty was started long before the current president was in office. So yes its same boss but same agenda.

  11. Re:Business as usual on Google-Microsoft Crossfire Will Hit Consumers · · Score: 1

    I honestly don't know why people assume this obviously necessary functionality isn't there.

    Being constantly raped by MS and their non portable formats maybe?

  12. Re:Google already licenses the AP feeds on Newspapers Face the Prisoner's Dilemma With Google · · Score: 1

    There is still plenty of news besides the BBC. If Murdoch does this then it will not only kill his papers but the BBC as well. I say good riddance to Murdoch and his newstainment but I do like the BBC and hope they stay around.

  13. Re:Good grief! - Bend Over! on Hacker McKinnon To Be Extradited To US · · Score: 1

    terrorism has just become the catch all for people we don't like. It used to be communist but luckily people woke up and realized that communist just meant people just like us that live in a different country under a different form of government. Unfortunately terrorist is such a vague bad guy word that it can apply to anyone different or hostile to you. I wish I did but I don't have an answer as to how to not have it be as agressive. Hopefully the next or future generation will find a way to ignore it like we did with communist.

  14. Re:Another site will replace it. on Mininova Removes All Copyright-Infringing Torrents · · Score: 1

    Your entire statement is garbage. Mostly based on the fact that Mininova is not and never was a tracker. TBH I stopped reading when you even mentioned a tracker.

  15. Re:Easier solution: on Obama Kicks Off Massive Science Education Effort · · Score: 1

    World ending interdimensional portal aside, I doubt he ever even got paid for saving the world twice!

  16. Re:He deserves it (Stallman) on Linus Torvalds For Nobel Peace Prize? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I see it as unfortunate that he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. If he were more "accepted", his ideas would probably have an even stronger impact.

    A shave and a shower wouldn't hurt in this regard.

  17. Re:It fascinates me... on Chinese Court Rules Microsoft Violated IP Rights · · Score: 1

    Would be even better if they both got together and complained about torture. :/

  18. Re:Alternative materials? on CERN Physicist Warns About Uranium Shortage · · Score: 4, Funny

    With reprocessing and recycling, the reserves are good for thousands of years.[42]

    Again 42 is the answer to everything.

  19. Re:Bribery on Mark Cuban's Plan To Kill Google · · Score: 1

    But I google on Yahoo! and bing irrelevant results.

  20. Re:Bribery on Mark Cuban's Plan To Kill Google · · Score: 1

    Same with Yahoo! Answers please.

  21. Re:It's the economy stupid on Your Opinion Counts At CNN — But Should It? · · Score: 1

    That's interesting to know. I am in the states and only watch BBC news as a well put together half hour news show. I guess it has to do with 24 hours news shows/stations. Its great if there is some enormous tragedy I guess but when things are calm it must be a complete bitch to find things to talk about. War is profitable is true on way too many levels. :/

  22. Re:Comments on Your Opinion Counts At CNN — But Should It? · · Score: 1

    Sometimes (most of the time?) news outlets are more about the entertainment value than the informative value of a story.

    This is unfortunately the case because of ratings. They just need eyeballs and could care less about accuracy. They are not held to any standard nor are they punished for reporting false information so they will continue to spout whatever they want for the money.

  23. Re:these camps on China Bans Physical Punishment For Net Addicts · · Score: 1

    Because they have their own vices and could give a shit about that one even if its the only one?

    WTF did that have to do with cars?

  25. Re:Anonymous Coward on Who Installs the Most Crapware? · · Score: 1

    This is bullshit. I ordered a Dell laptop with Ubuntu on it and it didnt cost any more than the XP laptop with the crapware on it.
