  1. Re:Well... on EFF Sues NSA, Justice Department, FBI · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, what's wrong with actually having anything to hide? No, really, you make it sound as it is a bad thing, but please, show me where in the constitution it is written that if you have something to hide, the minimum sentence is 4 years, for example...

  2. Re:Bravo EFF on EFF Sues NSA, Justice Department, FBI · · Score: 1

    So, you have one more reason to donate, which will cause one more reason to donate, and then only the sky is the limit.

  3. Re:fourth amendment vs. first amendment on EFF Sues NSA, Justice Department, FBI · · Score: 1

    But First is bigger than Fourth....it is counterintuitive, but nevertheless true.

  4. newspeak: BioCriminal on Scientists Seek Biomarkers For Violence · · Score: 2

    There is a saying: if you look hard enough for evidence, no matter what and where, soon or later you will find it.
    I just wonder what would this biomarker look like? Improper skull form? Skin color? or, missing DNA chain?

  5. Roku 3 on Ask Slashdot: Video Streaming For the Elderly? · · Score: 2

    Buy them Roku 3, and somewhere, anywhere, with a good internet connection, install Plex Media Server. It is amazing how transparent and how easy to use this solution is.

    What enemy? China? Don't make me laugh.

  9. I am just an employee on Sent To Jail Because of a Software Bug · · Score: 0

    Sorry guys, but i bear ZERO responsibility for anything that this little program could cause. At the end of the day, i don't own the software, i don't sell it, i don't reap the benefits. All i do is just to "code" the requirements, nothing more, nothing less.

  12. Re:Sealed Diplomatic baggage, but everything else on More Details Emerge On How the US Is Bugging Its European Allies · · Score: 1

    Yep, that's the reason no one YET abandoned the US greeny, but if USA continues to stretch the limits....who knows, people may decide they had enough, and just leave the ship, no matter the consequences. I just wonder, is USA stupid enough to force its hand because of some stupid spy triller??? I know i know, most of americans are idiots, but the ones that are the real leaders (of which you have not heard of), are not going sacrifice everything, for idiots like you.

  13. Re:Sealed Diplomatic baggage, but everything else on More Details Emerge On How the US Is Bugging Its European Allies · · Score: 1

    US is not "closed" economy. They need the other countries to buy US stuffs, and to buy it with dollars. Remember Iraq? And what happened when they decided to replace USD with EU?
    Now, i wonder, who is going to pay the US debt, if no one, but USA is trading with these little, greeny pesky things....

    Making sex is also not illegal, but one does not do it in front of everybody, and with everybody, on the street, right?

  16. Re:Enemies of the state on More Details Emerge On How the US Is Bugging Its European Allies · · Score: 1

    His citizenship cannot be revoked. As of his passport...here i am undecided. In general, his passport is not "his", but government property. But nevertheless, the passport does not change his status, it is just document that the other nations need in order to recognize his status, so, could the government revoke his "american status"???

    Actually, you are wrong. Right now there will be very hard questions asked, and USA will pay the bill. It is not fair, i know, but that's the life, accept it.

  19. I disagree on Dr. Dobb's Calls BS On Obsession With Simple Code · · Score: 1

    The problem is not that the complex code is "bad", but that there are many stupid developers using pretty much complex libraries and modules, and don't forget the copy/paste methodology, and the result is something that is "somehow" working, and extremely complex and hard to read. Well written and maintained code is always pleasure to read, no matter its complexity or the used libraries. One more thing, give an idiot a hammer, and every problem he face would look to him like a nail.

    Windows still has the largest collection of software. Oh, you mean "apps" (whatever that means)? Man, naming one feature as a "app" does not count as a program, you know it, right?
