  1. I guess I must be in the other 5% on US Airport Screeners Missed 95% of Weapons, Explosives In Undercover Tests · · Score: 1

    They always seem to find my shaving cream bottle ... never have managed to sneak it through :(

  2. Re:Amazon Music Store Question on Sony BMG Dropping DRM · · Score: 1

    You can call CS/email CS and ask for re-download provided your browser crashed or something.
    Also you can click the "Your Media Library" to see your music purchases.

    PS: I work for Amazon ;)

  3. Google should declare pope evil ! on Will the Pope Declare Google Evil? · · Score: 1

    nuff said !

  4. Can they never win ? on Microsoft Launches the Zune · · Score: 1

    Ok I am no m$ fan. I am the exact opposite most times.

    However I think M$ is doing a good thing by bringing the first legal large music sharing forum ( still mired by DRM I must admit), but this is a great first move.

    I cannot believe we have to knock them for everything.

    Just my 2 cents.

  5. Its all in the name. on Net Neutrality Being Examined by FTC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Net neutrality" will be pass, as lawmakers would not want to appear "not-neutral". On the other hand if the bill was called, "internet expedited service" bill, lawmakers will feel whole lot differently about it.

    Just my 2 cents and hunch

  6. AMD Operton - Doesn't that run on Nucular energy ? on IBM Opts for AMD · · Score: 2, Funny

    AMD Operton - Doesn't that run on Nucular energy ?

  7. Re:Wireless on The AT&T Whistleblower's Evidence · · Score: 1

    All I want to know is if I can break my 2 year contract with Cingular because of this.

    They broke the contract too. They probably released my private information to the govt...

  8. AArh. Not available for deerpark :( on Slashdot Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    AArh. Not available for deerpark :(

    Available only till 1.5*

  9. "It's gonna get blown up anyway" on UK Parliament to be Made Redundant? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Didn't you guys see "V for Vendetta" over the weekend ?

  10. The real question is : what happens to wire taps ? on Caller ID Spoofing Becomes Easy · · Score: 1

    The real question is : what happens to wire taps ? Does this invalidate the wire taps, or this just another hinderance that wire taps can look past ?

  11. This is BS on Google Moving PRC Records Out of China · · Score: 1

    This sentence offends me the most. If "searching for pop stars" is stated as a fact, then its ok. However if this is given as a rationale to filter democracy search results, I can't think of a more stupid and offensive reasoning.

  12. Will the google tools work on Linux now ? on Google Working on Desktop Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What is interesting to me is not that they are making a new version of Linux. It is the possibility of Google pack tools, being ported over to Linux. If this is true, their plithora of tools provided by google might finally start working on Linux (read: Any Linux).
    Tools like google-Earth, desktop search(GDS), picasa are sure welcome :)

  13. In other news .. flogging a dead horse.. on Intel and HP Commit $10 billion to Boost Itanium · · Score: 2, Funny

    In other news .. flogging a dead horse, to cost 10 billion dollars.

  14. Re:Problems with Tor. on Anonym.OS a Boon for Privacy Geeks? · · Score: 1

    Freenet is really slow. Tor is not quite that bad. A lot of times its pretty usable.

  15. What is XENSOURCE Virtualization ? on Red Hat Begins Testing Core 5 · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have it running on your desktop ?

  16. Here are the intelligent folks ... on Kansas Board of Ed. Adopts Intelligent Design · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here the intelligent folks ... who brought intelligent design to Kansas.

    http://www.ksde.org/commiss/bdaddr.html/

    I wonder if writing to them would change their minds. I wouldn't count on it, however it might be worth a try.

  17. Sent a message to Washington State's senator on Broadcast Flag Back in Congress · · Score: 1

    I just sent a verbose message to Maria Cantwell. I urge everybody to take immediate action on this.

  18. Re:At a guess - Quick Patent it on The Future of the iPod · · Score: 1

    make moolah ;)

  19. Mod Parent Up ! on Peerflix Launches P2P DVD Sharing Service · · Score: 1

    This is interesting.

  20. Dream on ! on IIS 7.0 Learns a Few Tricks from Apache · · Score: 1

    Dude. you are high on open source euphoria ;)

  21. Say the magic word ... TCO on Intel/AMD Battle Rages On · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I would not be surprised if somebody in Intel says the M$ magic word 'Total Cost of Ownership' next. Isnt that what M$ said after trying to run benchmarks against Linux.

    I know this sounds like apples and oranges, but all they have to say is Intel processors have lesser TCO than AMD.

    Its one of those things that nobody can substantiate or refute.

  22. Re:Is DDR2 worth waiting for? - No AGP on AMD to Adopt DDR2 Next Year · · Score: 1

    Agree. Apparently Longhorn will use the video ram in both directions. That is Video Card -> CPU and CPU -> Video Ram. The former is pretty fast with AGP and not the later. If you want the later to work you are better off with PCI-E. Hence Longhorn will force the adoption of PCI-E.

  23. Re:I did too on Broadcast Flag Sneak Not Attempted · · Score: 1

    As a resident alien here in the USA, I want to commend each one of you with karma bonus for the good deed !

  24. I wrote about this to CNN on EFF: 48 Hours to Stop the Broadcast Flag · · Score: 5, Funny

    Dont know if my news tip will get picked up. These things should not be sneaked in.

  25. If supporting due process and accountability is.. on Patriot Act to be Expanded · · Score: 1

    If supporting due process and accountability is a "leftist" position then I'm a pinko-eco-terrorist and your a baby-eating facist from the ministry of information.

    Now I've got to make that my signature !
