  2. Re:Prediction: on N. Korea Blames US For Internet Outage, Compares Obama to "a Monkey" · · Score: 1

    ...Merely a response to the OP. I would say Samsung and LG are far more significant than NK and media fantasy 'hackers' if we are going to ask 'cui bono'. If you want to narrow down your targets as quickly as possible, follow the money, not the politics (and certainly not the tabloid press!), unless there's family involved, that's a whole 'nother bucket of worms.

    Well of course! I exclude nobody. I just think the sentimental 'morality' play is just a bit silly. On the other hand, it always does draw a crowd. The big story to me is the reaction to the initial incident. It reveals the animal, and all the emotion clouds the judgement. The audience does not know and/or care that it is being played. They have become the movie.

    Topic over, now lets turn and face infinity and eternity, as they are lying in front of us, waiting.

    BAH! You're swimming in it.

    And remember, folks, Korea is a democratic republic, and not only that, it's a peoples republic, says right there in the name. Words have meaning, right? Everybody tells me that all the time. Now, excuse me while I go take another Valium so I don't feel the heat

    Hung up on the messenger are you? Try replying to the message

    And no, that wasn't me, I'm just somebody who believes the anti-AC thing is just a childish cop out employed by people who are full of shit.

  6. Re:This is why we need a war on Newest Stealth Fighter's Ground Attack Sensors 10 Years Behind Older Jets' · · Score: 1

    Yes, I know they stole quite a bit of tech...

    Ah, but that is the key. If they stole this tech, we'll have no problem.

    It is very similar to the 'Homer'. That is what they should have named it.

    Meh, I blame LG for the whole affair.

    At some point you have to apply Occam's razor and ask who benefits.

    At some point... Yeah, the very first thing to ask would be that.

    So, you're saying that Sony leaked thousands of extremely embarrassing and in some cases damaging internal documents...

    Or anybody shorting the stock... It took a dip for a while and is now rebounding.

    Please, people, get the silly politics out of your heads. This is strictly business. Could be some soap opera between Sony, Samsung, and LG, who knows, who cares, aside from the drama and intrigue for somebody's next movie.

  10. Re:I had this problem, then I got f.lux. on Study: Light-Emitting Screens Before Bedtime Disrupt Sleep · · Score: 1

    No, because I can keep the brightness much lower I don't have that problem. The after-image is much stronger with white on black. I think they only did that to save power on the old CRTs

    It must have been happening already for that 'prediction' to be so accurate.

    Yeah, *The internet has no borders*.. We should follow its example and tear ours down. Don't do this half assed. We all should be allowed to live where we please.

  15. They only store them for us to read on Net Neutrality Comments Overtaxed FCC's System · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The FCC already has its orders. The 'comments' thing is just a pacification measure.

  16. Re:bill of rights restricts GOVERNMENT on How Laws Restricting Tech Actually Expose Us To Greater Harm · · Score: 1

    The American war for 'independence' was a proxy war instigated by the French. The US was created by the 'mujahideen' of North America, with similar religious ambitions

  17. Re:Convenient! on Crowds (and Pirates) Flock To 'The Interview' · · Score: 1

    Not only that, the comedic reaction to the affair is a movie in its own right, and most likely a much better one. North Korea couldn't ask for better propaganda, and for free!

  18. Re:didn't go didn't download, don't care on Crowds (and Pirates) Flock To 'The Interview' · · Score: 1

    What 'conspiracy'? That had a stinker, the plan worked perfectly for its Christmas Day release. And even if North Korea did anything, the Americans sure did give them the money shot with the reaction they put on display, it could be its own movie, something of a Keystone Cops thing.. It was brilliant! The movie industry is alive and well. Now with more audience participation!

  20. Re: They're assholes. on Why Lizard Squad Took Down PSN and Xbox Live On Christmas Day · · Score: 1

    Time bandits... If they want to really steal 'valuable' time, they can take down the Department of Motor Vehicles networks. The 'real' thieves make you wait in line all day at the bank, supermarket, wherever. If your game network goes down, at least you can go make yourself a sandwich and watch some soap operas or Springer or something.

    On an actually semi-serious note, nobody can say they weren't warned these things would happen when network dependency became all the rage. It was fully expected, yet the 'victims' bought into it anyway. It's almost like leaving the door open with a big sign that says 'free stuff inside, be nice and don't get caught taking any of it'. Right or wrong, people are only following the examples of so-called 'pillars of society', the very people who are supposed to provide guidance and show respect. The rot goes all the way up. When talking about crooks and thieves, we could be a bit more inclusive of who we are dealing with, if you want the message to have much effect. Otherwise the kiddies just point and laugh, noting the *assassin accusing the assassin*.

    Kill them and the world is a better place.

    That's rather harsh. No killing is necessary. Just stop serving them and problem solved.

    The 'real assholes' at the top didn't get there without help from the bottom. Wait... what? That sounds gross!

  23. Re:Right. on Did North Korea Really Attack Sony? · · Score: 1

    Yes, because the world is full of people who believe that there was any real 'blackmail'.

    It all just makes so damn much sense!

    If you could/would follow the money, it would make perfect sense.

    The initial allegation is quite the conspiracy theory itself! And it's playing quite well to a ready audience...

  24. Re:I was suspicious from the moment they denied it on Did North Korea Really Attack Sony? · · Score: 1

    I was suspicious of the U.S. allegations the moment I heard them. The allegations are and always were entirely political with no basis in fact. How come people don't get arrested for trying to incite a war like they do for riots?
