  1. Okay on Canada Revenue Agency To Tax BitCoin Transactions · · Score: 0

    Then the government must accept Bitcoins as payment for all services..

  2. Re:Cows on An Open Letter To Google Chairman Eric Schmidt On Drones · · Score: 1

    I'm sure he's a man of many positions

  3. Re:What's Actually Wrong With DRM...? on What's Actually Wrong With DRM In HTML5? · · Score: 1

    In this horrible trail of tears created by the OP, a single flower blooms...

  4. Re:Handcuffs on MPAA Executive Tampers With Evidence In Piracy Case · · Score: 1

    Once again, prison is to isolate dangerous people from the rest of society, not for harmless fraudsters. I mean, it's not like they can act unilaterally or anything. We have RICO and asset forfeiture laws already on the books, and they would be a very effective deterrence against this. But, since the 'entertainment' industry serves a very important function for the state, it really can't be touched... kinda like the banks.

    Eh, business is business... waddya gonna do?

  5. Not religion, but purpose on Belief In God Correlates With Better Mental Health Treatment Outcomes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's what people crave. They can't live with the possibility that life might have no meaning at all, that we're just here and should make the best of it.

  6. Re:Why is this here? on Why We'll Never Meet Aliens · · Score: 1

    This is not new in any sense of the word.

    Eh, who knows? Maybe the mushrooms are better. Personally, I think peyote is more appropriate for these kinds of things.

  7. Re:Nobody Needs Genetically Engineered Crops on Europe Needs Genetically Engineered Crops, Scientists Say · · Score: 1

    All very doubtful.. Like with the damage caused by the BP spill, we need a second opinion.

    Farmers who buy expensive GM seeds also start irrigating and applying fertilizer to protect their investments, so any observed increase may be due to better farming. The surveys also tend to sample wealthy, progressive farmers who can afford the seeds and who are skilled enough to get high yields regardless of technology. - emph. mine

    Very few people benefit from GMOs, and most of them are just some Armani wearing parasite.

  8. Re:Two words on $5 Sensor Turns LCD Monitors Into Touchscreens · · Score: 1

    A monitor that can incline about 70 or 80 degrees would make it a lot easier to use as a touch screen.

  9. The LCD monitor will make a lousy touchscreen on $5 Sensor Turns LCD Monitors Into Touchscreens · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's not really designed to have your finger smashing against it. It better have a hard surface.

  10. a Mistake? on Was Google's Motorola Mobility Acquisition a Mistake? · · Score: 1

    I sincerely hope it turns out to be a big one. Gotta take the profit out of speculation somehow.

  11. Nobody Needs Genetically Engineered Crops on Europe Needs Genetically Engineered Crops, Scientists Say · · Score: 5, Funny

    Except the people that sell them...

  12. Heheh on 3D-Printed Gun May Be Unveiled Soon · · Score: 1

    Have fun finding ammo right now...

  13. Panic? Frustration? Maybe... on Pearson Vue Now On Day 5 of Massive Outage · · Score: 1

    But I see no massive outrage there.

  14. Re:Insanity! on DMCA Safe Harbor May Not Apply To Old Copyrighted Works · · Score: 1

    Try to remember, our public servants have been given an offer they can't refuse. Either their brains or their signatures will be on whatever bill the industry proposes.

  15. Re:Cows on An Open Letter To Google Chairman Eric Schmidt On Drones · · Score: 2

    We have to be careful. Considering the types of people that win elections, this guy could become president some day.

  16. Playing back a recording on Aereo Ruling Could Impact Pandora · · Score: 2

    It should never be considered a "public performance".. Not until a video of me fixing a toilet actually fixes a toilet.

  17. Re:What's Actually Wrong With DRM...? on What's Actually Wrong With DRM In HTML5? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If it's not embraced in some way by the standard, it will happen anyway, and be platform specific and even more annoying.

    And this is why circumvention is important and necessary.

  18. What's Actually Wrong With DRM...? on What's Actually Wrong With DRM In HTML5? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It exists...

  19. ...the FBI has had no success in getting the data on Federal Magistrate Rules That Fifth Amendment Applies To Encryption Keys · · Score: 1

    I don't believe that for a second. They just won't want to show that they broke the encryption to fool us into thinking it is safe to use, so they are trying this trick of compelling the guy to talk.

  20. Re:Well, duh on FAA On Travel Delays: Get Used To It · · Score: 1

    No, the BIG issue is that the gov/corp is telling you that you will both be shot tomorrow, and you spend your remaining time arguing who should be the first... Wow...

  21. Re:Sequestration is a gimmick on FAA On Travel Delays: Get Used To It · · Score: 1

    It's nothing more than an enormous "fuck you" to the American public.

    Yes, and invariably the public bends over and says, "Thank you, sir. May I have another?"

    The messaging in both directions couldn't be more clear.

  22. Re:This doesn't sound right? on China Behind 96% of All Cyber-Espionage Data Breaches, Verizon Report Claims · · Score: 1

    Apparently quite a few parts... Try some of these fine Cassava chips...

  23. Re:Deep well water tastes better on Viruses From Sewage Contaminate Deep Well Water · · Score: 2

    That would be the cyanide

  24. Suddenly on Protesting Animal Testing, Intruders Vandalize Italian Lab · · Score: 1

    I feel like it's 1987

  25. Re:Things That Make You Go "Hmmm..." on RCMP Says Terror Plot Against Canadian Trains Thwarted · · Score: 1

    Al Qaeda...

    Imagine how a mother feels when her child turns against her.. and for money..
