  1. Re:So who is he really? on Student Sues FBI For Planting GPS Tracker · · Score: 1

    Actually, he didn't endorsed terrorism in any way. He just dismissed it as a real threat, mentioning that given how simple is to put a bomb in a mall, all malls would have been already blown. Maybe that's what pissed the FBI, that there are people who actually think...

  2. Re:70 years + is too damn much on Tolkien Estate Says No Historical Fiction For JRR · · Score: 1

    Then I guess 10 years would be more than enough and only if the original copyright hasn't expired...

  3. Re:Rhymes with hilarious. on Oracle's Open Source Identity Reborn At ForgeRock · · Score: 1

    >>he literally slashed Sun's throat[..]
    I think this applies http://xkcd.com/725/

  4. Re:Wikileaks? Really? on The Seven Types of Hackers · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the exact same thing. First of all, his definition of "hacktivist" is quite broad, so that even blogs or PETA-like sites could fall into that category. Besides, AFAIK Wikileaks just gives a channel to distribute classified information, it doesn't do the hacking themselves. Poor article really, don't know how such a smart guy as Schneier could link it...

  5. Re:Correction for the Summary on Malaysia Releases Genetically Modified Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    >>[...]they plan to recapture most of these mosquitoes[...]

    hehe, good luck on that...

  6. Re:OLPC? on ARM Powered OLPC XO-1.75 Laptop Is Faster Than X86 · · Score: 1

    Fucking troll

  7. Re:Cenozoic Park on Extinct Mammoth, Coming To a Zoo Near You · · Score: 1

    A film about blood-lust, gigantic, woolly beasts with huge razor-sharp tusks seeking to kill everyone? Sign me in.

  8. Re:Grown Ups. on Split Screen Co-op Is Dying · · Score: 1

    Now that you mentioned, if used to play with split screen on a crappy 21' CRT TV, now that I own a nice, responsive 32' LCD TV I think it would make much more sense to do so, don't you think?

  9. Re:headline? on China's Politburo Behind Google Cyber-Attack? · · Score: 1

    Well, replying a bit late to this, but I was correcting AC, not you. As a matter of fact, I was actually supporting you...

  10. Re:Ummm, because it is different information? on Pentagon Papers Ellsberg Supports Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    [...]And I'm speaking as a certified member of the NPR listening, New Yorker reading, free-range organic vegetable eating Liberal Elite[...]

    And that should make your opinion (which BTW, is totally self-centered and shows how little you care about the rest of the World) valid?

  11. Re:Ummm, because it is different information? on Pentagon Papers Ellsberg Supports Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    Best. Comment. Ever. (though sadly, I think that's how the average USA American thinks...)

  12. Re:Consequences on China's Influence Widens Nobel Peace Prize Boycott · · Score: 1

    Uh, you do realize he's in the same side as you in this argument, don't you? Just because he didn't mentioned Obama doesn't mean he thinks he was worthy of the prize...

  13. Re:Rather symbolic isn't it? on PayPal Withdraws WikiLeaks Donation Service · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because what you consider "gossip" some other can consider a valuable information. It's not up to you (or Wikileaks) to judge whether one document is more important than other...

  14. Re:headline? on China's Politburo Behind Google Cyber-Attack? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    And I think you meant cojones...oh, and btw, "having huevos" it's also used in many Latinamerican countries the same way you use "having guts"...

  15. Re:Hello Censorship on UK Asks News Outlets Not To Publish WikiLeaks Bombshell, US Prepares For Fallout · · Score: 1

    Idem

  16. Re:What do they have to hide? on UK Asks News Outlets Not To Publish WikiLeaks Bombshell, US Prepares For Fallout · · Score: 1

    Yeah, right, and USA went to war out of a sense of Justice & Goodness...

  17. Re:let me clear your mind. on UK Asks News Outlets Not To Publish WikiLeaks Bombshell, US Prepares For Fallout · · Score: 2, Interesting

    [...]Oh, and this will be powerful ammunition for those who would like to see the government given the power to censor the Internet.[...]

    Oh, please! Don't be so naïve to think that they're not going to try censor it anyway.

  18. Re:What the hell is the fuss about on Organs of UK Nuclear Workers Secretly Harvested; Energy Secretary Apologizes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    [...]the organs taken were removed without any apparent forensic purpose in mind[...]

    Dunno, sounds to me they weren't helping anybody with that...

  19. Re:Who would want to follow... on Steve Ballmer Reveals His Secret Twitter Account · · Score: 1

    ouch...

  20. Re:Mac vs. PC on The Hackintosh Guide · · Score: 1

    In their defense, not knowing South American vernacular isn't "living in a bubble". It is another subcontinent, after all.

    I agree, but as you said, it's a whole friggin' subcontinent; one should be wary when doing assertions at a global scale.

  21. Re:Mac vs. PC on The Hackintosh Guide · · Score: 1

    Your point being? I didn't say Latin Americans would use the correct term when talking about USA citizens, but rather pointing out how you couldn't say "[...]USAians are called americans and no one else[...]" because that would be blatantly false.

  22. Re:Mac vs. PC on The Hackintosh Guide · · Score: 1

    Or "Gringos". While in its origin the word "Gringo" was used as an insult[...]

    It's still used as a pejorative term, though you're right, it's not only an insult anymore.

    Or "North American"

    True, forgot about that one. It's basically the same misnomer as "american" to refer to a citizen from USA.

  23. Re:Mac vs. PC on The Hackintosh Guide · · Score: 1, Informative
    [I know it's offtopic]

    [...] the fact that USAians are called americans and no one else[...]

    Could you please get out of your bubble and travel down to South America? You'd see that NO ONE there call USAians "americans" since that term is used to refer to themselves (USAians are usually called "yankees" or "United Statians")

  24. You should check on YouTube Wins vs. Telecinco In Spain · · Score: 1

    what people at Telecinco thinks about that (disclaimer: it's in spanish). It seems like they were listening to a completely different case.

  25. Re:Brakes, please. Please? on The Physics of a Rolling Rubber Band · · Score: 1

    how about than vs then? I see that A LOT...
