  1. Re:"Say no more" on Italian Police Seize Blog Over 'Kill Berlusconi' Satire · · Score: 1

    Nudge nudge, wink wink?

  2. Re:Religion makes ME uncomfortable on The Most Violent Video Games of All Time · · Score: 1

    If there's even a chance that something could cause harm, it must be immediately banned!

    If the criminal wasn't born in the first place, they wouldn't commit crimes. Outlaw reproduction!

  3. Re:Is it an accurate simulation? on Japanese Build Robot Toddlers · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. That piece of flesh is something I miss every day.

    I guess it depends upon your definition of "necessary."

    No it doesn't; I miss it regardless of how much I will or won't use it. It was tragically taken from me without my consent. "Necessary" doesn't enter into it; it was mine.

  4. Re:This Content is not Available on DailyMotion Now Streaming Live News · · Score: 1

    Aha! Thanks, figured there was a catch in there somewhere. Still, great price to get started with.

  5. Re:Anonymous is getting out of hand.. on Anonymous Claims Possession of Stuxnet Worm · · Score: 1

    Anonymous can officially be clasified as a terrorist group in my book with threats and attacks all over the world to defend their points of view.

    In such case almost every big country can be classified as a terrorist group.

    Well, yeah.

  6. Re:Texas Budget Deficit on Amazon Pulling Out of Texas Over $269 Million Tax Bill · · Score: 1

    I like lamp. (Wait, should that be, I like LAMP?)

  7. Re:Texas Budget Deficit on Amazon Pulling Out of Texas Over $269 Million Tax Bill · · Score: 1

    Yeah and the ordering process slows to a crawl because government isn't smart enough to purchase AWS...

  8. Re:"Stored Data" does not equal "Knowledge" on The Sum Total of the World's Knowledge: 250 Exabytes · · Score: 1

    Give up rickrolling? Naw, never gonna give that up.

  9. Re:This Content is not Available on DailyMotion Now Streaming Live News · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Get an AWS account, then set one up in an EU theatre. You'll probably have to double-download (watching from a remote machine might not be pleasant) but at least you'll be able to get the content. By the way, AWS is Amazon Web Services, and you can run a free mini-instance forever.

  10. Re:Is it an accurate simulation? on Japanese Build Robot Toddlers · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. That piece of flesh is something I miss every day.

  11. Re:Summary left out one detail... on White House Wants Phone Records Without Oversight · · Score: 1

    but the government can't just come in a compel the phone company to give up that information without a court order.

    Qwest rings a bell. No more government contracts for them. (i.e., Sure they can compel, just not in the manner you mean.)

  12. Re:LOL, you got GWB again! on White House Wants Phone Records Without Oversight · · Score: 1

    Or the overreaching power of the FBI? This is your government. Participate in it.

    And be overreached around by the FBI? Seems bitching on Slashdot is a bit safer.

  13. Re:Probably a good move, regardless of Vat's logic on Vatican Bans IOS Confession App · · Score: 1

    "The sinful suggestions the app offers are inventive and even age appropriate."

    Great, now there's an app to suggest which sin you should commit today!

  14. Re:GaAs? on Researchers Boast First Programmable Nanoprocessor · · Score: 1

    It's right there, in the sentence you quoted: "ten-nanometer-thick germanium wires"

    What's new is the ten-nanometer wires, not using germanium.

    Is this really germane to the discussion?

  15. Re:Sad Fact on House Fails To Extend Patriot Act Spy Powers · · Score: 1

    It's hard for the police to police the police when they don't even know the police are policing.

    No Such Agency.

  16. Re:Meet the new boss, same as the old boss on House Fails To Extend Patriot Act Spy Powers · · Score: 1

    Personally I favor Instant Runoff Voting, but every time it gets brought up people get into a long debate over it versus Condorcet voting and all its alternatives.

    Easy answer, it's simply using politics to its finest compromising abilities: Condorcet Runoff Voting, where you vote and the condors set and drop their runoff, and the names not obscured by the feces are the winners.

  17. Re:Meet the new boss, same as the old boss on House Fails To Extend Patriot Act Spy Powers · · Score: 1

    I knew there was a logical fallacy in there somewhere. Safe? What is safe? Must it be made what you think is safe? Questions have been both begged and suggested.

    My kingdom for a suggestively begged question; or, barring that, a horse to ride away from the questions with.

  18. Re:Stop celebrating - it's going to pass on House Fails To Extend Patriot Act Spy Powers · · Score: 1

    Obama, naturally, is for the intrusive spying powers that he claimed he was against when he was running for office.

    Fuck yeah; now, he's worried about losing power. He needs to know what those in the halls are whispering.

  19. Sure, it's entirely possible that what worked before now no longer works because the browser is at fault. The browser didn't experience a redesign.

  20. Re:I got an email from EFF the other day on House Fails To Extend Patriot Act Spy Powers · · Score: 1

    I can only hope we can someday resurrect the Constitution.

    Great, now we're both on a list.

    Uh, if they're dumb, do you think they're think coherently to get to the neurologist? Or won't it be more like, "... Shiny!"?

    God damn I wish you were a coworker instead of the (American) football fanatics.

  23. Re:One step closer... on RoboEarth Teaches Robots to Learn From Peers · · Score: 1

    If we're lucky, they'll save compressed copies of everything (and everyone) they find interesting.

    You're damn right, if we're lucky! I don't even back up my most critical files, and I do consider them interesting. So, wave goodbye to your singular overlords...

  24. Re:You Don't Get to Do Anything Fun Anymore on Sputnik Moment Or No, Science Fairs Are Lagging · · Score: 1

    Supplies cost money.

    "Food and rent aren't the only things around here that cost money, Louie. You sleep on the couch."

    I thought WD meant water displacer. i.e. Not a lubricant.

    Failure is still an option I see, but what do you do about people spreading incorrect information.

    Exactly; I had to look it up to confirm because GP sounded not quite right. Here you go.
