  1. Re:And... on Cell Phone Unlocking Is Legal -- For Now · · Score: 1

    Our elected congress never directly outlawed it. This rule, like so many others, came from an unelected bureaucrat.

  2. Re:This is why "regulations" are bad on Cell Phone Unlocking Is Legal -- For Now · · Score: 1

    You are right, Mr. Smith. We should not permit administrative law. But, the voters do, and will most likely continue to do so indefinitely. A fatal flaw of majority rule.

  3. Re:At least the Russians are being upfront on Law Repressing Social Media, Bloggers Now In Effect In Russia · · Score: 1

    ...if they get a hitcount over 3000...

    Hey, what the hell, if you can get the government to provide your hitcounts for you, make the best of it. I would hope they could bump up their ad rates a bit.

  4. Re:next... on Law Repressing Social Media, Bloggers Now In Effect In Russia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There is only one party. Bickering factions are what we see on the TV. It plays well to a wide audience.

  5. Ahhhh, so fuckin' what on Law Repressing Social Media, Bloggers Now In Effect In Russia · · Score: 1

    Let all this crap be an incentive to develop better method of circumvention. The mightiest will always rule the universe.

  6. Re:Do I need to be concerned about this? on "BadUSB" Exploit Makes Devices Turn "Evil" · · Score: 1

    A USB device programmed to look like a keyboard is going to look like a keyboard to the machine. Maybe this might be redundant, but your best, or only recourse might be to learn how to sniff your network. Disabling plug and play so that you have to manually tell your computer what is being connected might work to an extent...

  7. Re:Online in England, maybe on UK Government Report Recommends Ending Online Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Tell that to Hulu

  8. Re:If true. If. on Journalist Sues NSA For Keeping Keith Alexander's Financial History Secret · · Score: 1

    What, you mean "family owned business"?

  9. Re:USB 4.x to offer signed USB device signatures?? on "BadUSB" Exploit Makes Devices Turn "Evil" · · Score: 2

    ...with a 3rd comparison via the internet to a usb device registry.

    That makes the whole concept dead on arrival. Anything that requires a connection is no damn good, aside from a remote terminal, I suppose

  10. Re:If true. If. on Journalist Sues NSA For Keeping Keith Alexander's Financial History Secret · · Score: 1

    Yes, you do have the answer. We all do, but we won't use it. Everybody prefers to stick with what they have.

  11. Re:If true. If. on Journalist Sues NSA For Keeping Keith Alexander's Financial History Secret · · Score: 2

    Anyone who ever believes that state and corporate power are, or were ever separate is hopelessly naive.

  12. Re:Israel needs ammo. California needs water. on Gaza's Only Power Plant Knocked Offline · · Score: 1

    It is; however, responsible for protecting the United States against foreign attackers.

    I didn't know those little rockets could reach the coast.

  13. Israel needs ammo. California needs water. on Gaza's Only Power Plant Knocked Offline · · Score: 1

    Which one will the US government assist? Of course when you do the math, the answer becomes clear.

  14. Hey, it worked, didn't it? I think that's the idea here.

  15. Re:*Yawn* on Stanford Team Creates Stable Lithium Anode Using Honeycomb Film · · Score: 1

    like a loaded F-150 pickup.

    Yeah, it will be loaded with batteries, and a diesel generator to keep them topped off.

  16. Re:Abusing Ice... on Suddenly Visible: Illicit Drugs As Part of Silicon Valley Culture · · Score: 1

    No, you're abusing your back by sitting in front of a computer all day long. "Making a living" is fairly addictive.

  17. Re:wat - There are real cirles! on Black Holes Not Black After All, Theorize Physicists · · Score: 1

    Math is nuts. All those points and lines that can't exist outside of Flatland

  18. I got one of these on Household Robot Jibo Nets Over $1 Million On Indiegogo · · Score: 1

    It's all covered in cat hair, which it leaves everywhere.

    We want... a shrubbery!

    So, would a 360 degree arc drawn with a very good sturdy compass suffice?

    It was a domestic dispute. Some guy killed his brother... go figure

  22. Good for them on The Army Is 3D Printing Warheads · · Score: 3

    I'm all for efficient killing... wouldn't want to break a nail.

    Well, if he is an alien, let's make sure he doesn't overstay his visa.

  24. Re:But what IS the point they're making? on Earth In the Midst of Sixth Mass Extinction: the 'Anthropocene Defaunation' · · Score: 2

    You most certainly can, and satellite and everything. I remember the old days, when we had to go out and crank the old four meter C band dish that was standing on the only piece of concrete on the whole property by hand to find another bird.

  25. Re:Customer service? on Man Booted From Southwest Flight and Threatened With Arrest After Critical Tweet · · Score: 1

    If they can evacuate an airplane in 90 seconds, why can't they load them just as fast?
