  1. I'd like to see them help out on Mass. Data Security Law Says "Thou Shalt Encrypt" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'd like to see Mass. set up a website to assist small business owners to comply with this law. I'm not talking about tech support, but maybe a basic guide?

  2. OH COME ON! on Phishing Education Test Blocked For Phishing · · Score: 1

    If people are entering their information, how is blocking an educational site a smart move? I mean, if they are entering their CC #, then they already have big problems. That said, I wouldn't be telling people to go there.

  3. Re:Yeah... not really interested on Aral Sea May Recover; Dead Sea Needs a Lifeline · · Score: 3, Funny

    Your lack of perspective is hardly the article's failure.

    I find your lack of faith disturbing.

  4. Any AGW scientist on Climate Researchers Fight Back · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Any AGW scientist who isn't completely transparent in their research gets no trust from me. When scientists play politician, people will lose trust. They should be researching, educating, and advising-- not politicizing science.

  5. What a bright future! on Blippy Exposes Credit Card Numbers Through Simple Google Search · · Score: 1

    Can't wait until I am treated with suspicion for wanting to protect my privacy. I hate my generation.

  6. The real issue here on Economy Tanked While Government Surfed Porn · · Score: 1

    The real issue here is shitty management. This is typical government incompetence, and it is bipartisan. Republicans are corporate shills; Democrats are corporate shills. Guess who was the second biggest campaign supporter for Obama?

  7. Re:Cause or effect? on Biggest Study On Cellphone Health Effects Launched in Europe · · Score: 2, Funny

    So...um, if they find brain cancer in the sector of the population who can't ever seem to put their phones down, will that be diagnosed as a cause or an effect?

    Whichever use better fits whatever point I am trying to make.

  8. I don't see why on Final Fight Brings Restrictive DRM To the PS3 · · Score: 1

    This would be a reasonably smart thing to do: require a user to log on to download content onto that console, giving it rights to play. This only needs to be once on that console, and if that user is on a different console, they can login in and activate that console (deactivating the other) to download and play their content. When they go back to the original console, they activate that one again.

  9. Re:The media really are pussies on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    As an Ignostic I am unsure whether or not I am offended, as I cannot decide define offended.

  10. This is a nation founded on Christian ideals! on At Issue In a Massachusetts Town, the Value of Two-Thirds · · Score: 1

    Seriously guys, this is a Christian nation. How can you expect people to go beyond .66? DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE RAMIFICATIONS?

  11. When my Xbox 360 dies on Sony Can Update PS3 Firmware Without Permission · · Score: 1

    When my Xbox 360 dies, I guess I'm done gaming. I might play some FOSS games on Fedora, but I'm done with this proprietary shit that I have no control over. Oh well, guess I'll have more time to read books.

  12. Re:They're pretty good at working on humans, too on World's Fastest Robot Versus the Wiimote · · Score: 1

    Who do you sue when the robot fucks up?

  13. Frist post on World's Fastest Robot Versus the Wiimote · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our new Quattro overlords.

  14. This is definitely a good thing on UK University Researchers Must Make Data Available · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am a pretty big cynic, and I remain unconvinced that AGW is a significant problem. It doesn't help that the raw data isn't disclosed. I wish scientists would go back to doing science and quit trying to be policy makers.

  15. This is why on Escalating Gmail/Spamming Attacks · · Score: 1

    This is why I randomly generate all my important passwords.

  16. Oh really now? on George Washington Racks Up 220 Years of Late Fees At Library · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows that George Washington couldn't tell a lie.

    Good ol' Honest George.

  17. Re:All you need to know on NY Bill Would Require Online State Records · · Score: 1

    It also depends on your politics. If you're a social conservative and you are outed, your political career is OVER. If you are a liberal, you have a lot more wiggle room.

  18. Re:Why is this even an issue? on Microsoft Quickly Revises "Sexting" Ad For Kin Phone · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing. " ~ Poe

  19. Re:Explanation on Another WW-I Chemical Site In Washington, DC · · Score: 1

    Well I feel silly. Thanks for informing me.

  20. Re:All you need to know on NY Bill Would Require Online State Records · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's not like we have an openly gay chairman of a major congressional committee or anything...

    The exception to the rule ;)

  21. Re:All you need to know on NY Bill Would Require Online State Records · · Score: 1

    Also, you have to look at the number of wealthy people who contribute huge sums to political campaigns, and wonder how many of them would support an openly bi-sexual man.

  22. Re:All you need to know on NY Bill Would Require Online State Records · · Score: 1

    Such bigotry demands a response, but as this is a geek website, I'll leave it as [ citation needed ].

    I have no problem with gays. I'm talking about the millions of voters who do.

  23. Re:All you need to know on NY Bill Would Require Online State Records · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Don't bother, he's a godless, hell-bound faggot.

    You have got to be fucking kidding me. He just has to be bisexual! Now no matter what his politics and policies are, he'll never be able to accomplish much of anything.

  24. Re:Explanation on Another WW-I Chemical Site In Washington, DC · · Score: 1

    Toxic chemicals leaching into the groundwater would go a long way towards explaining some of the things that go on in DC.

    Does mustard gas corrupt people that fast?

  25. Who do I cheer for /.? on Interactive Exercise Company Sues Nintendo For Patent Infringement · · Score: 3, Funny

    Do we hate Nintendo?
