  1. Re:Putin assures you that everything is fine on Publicly Available Russian Election Results Hint At Fraud · · Score: 2

    This tea is radiant!

  2. Re:Repressive? on EU Moves To End Surveillance Tech Sales To Repressive Regimes · · Score: 1

    From what side? Our side obviously. As in; us, and them.

  3. Re:Remember on MythBusters Bust House · · Score: 1

    I know that at least Clarkson has been a writer for car magazines since for ever.

  4. Re:Free market for the win on Will Firefox Lose Google Funding? · · Score: 1

    I used Chrome for a good while, but when I couldn't get https everywhere on Chrome, I switched back.
    I also find certain "remove object from website" addons for Firefox very handy, I couldn't find anything like that
    for Chrome.

  5. Re:First thing first on Ask Slashdot: To Hack Or Not To Hack? · · Score: 1

    This is more of a "Someone left their front door open and they keep mine and others sensitive information in there, lets go torch all this sensitive information up before
    someone steals it." situation.

  6. That's not the correct question to ask on Samsung Lawyer Fails To Differentiate iPad and Galaxy Tab In Court · · Score: 1

    The question isn't which one is which. The question is, can you reliably tell them apart?
    Can you always point to the bigger of the two? Good, you can tell them apart.
    Which one is which brand is irrelevant, and I think less of the judge of not realizing this.

  7. Re:Of course on Why Businesses Move To the Cloud: They Hate IT · · Score: 2

    In this scenario any solution that provided an answer to the problem would probably have been sufficient.

    If they don't know what they are asking for, how would they know that the solution isn't perfect?

    You could even state that it's "Top best solution there is" and "The result of 50 years research by the smartest mathematicians in the world".

  8. Re:And on Personal Electronics May Indeed Disrupt Avionics · · Score: 1

    It might be because the body of the aeroplane works as a Faraday's Cage. The devices are inside the plane, and would create a different situation then the lightning.

  9. Re:I have only one question on Syrians Using Donkeys Instead of DSL After Gov't Shuts Down Internet · · Score: 1

    There is also the question of resources. Doesn't even seem to be enough NATO planes to stop Gaddafi, and you want them to take on North Korea?

    No, people aren't "fine" with any of that.
    We just live in the real world.

  10. Re:Nuke power on Japan Widens Evacuation Zone Around Fukushima · · Score: 1

    Anyone not on three fault ridges?
    Anyone that uses Thorium instead of Plutonium or Uranium?

  11. If previous intelligence is assumed.. on Evolution Battle Brews In Texas · · Score: 1

    ..shouldn't they at least task the scientist with figuring that one out?

  12. Fukushima-style reactor meltdown on MoD's Error Leaks Secrets of UK Nuclear Submarine · · Score: 1

    "This accidental leak reveals, among many other things, how easy it would be to cause a Fukushima-style reactor meltdown in a sub"

    You subject it to an 8.0 richter earthquake?

  13. Re:Fail on Facebook, Zuckerberg Sued For $1 Billion Over Intifada Page · · Score: 1
  14. The security on Text Messages To Replace Stamps In Sweden · · Score: 1

    If the destination is associated with the code, it would be pretty secure. I'm assuming that at least eventually the address won't even be needed on the envelope any more, just the code.

  15. Re:oh gee. then they are fools. on OpenLeaks — 'A New WikiLeaks' · · Score: 1

    >While the obvious intent is to make intel agencies more effective (something Assange aspires to prevent)
    Actually, he aspires to make them more transparent.

  16. Re:Sorry, no "dirty tricks" campaign here... on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 2

    Hypothetically, who would you bribe, coax or coerce into doing something like this?
    Some die hard militant woman that isn't sympathetic to the cause at all?

  17. Re:Guilty much? on Graduate Students Being Warned Away From Leaked Cables · · Score: 2

    Actually, what messed the Soviets up was the Central Committee.
    It doesn't matter how awesome your political structure is, if you then introduce a body with veto powers on all issues into the mix.

    Also, Soviet just means Council in Russian.

  18. Re:Global Warming is a Hoax? on Microsoft Takes Responsibility For GPL Violation · · Score: 1

    You can't use Newtonian physics for cross dimensional calculations.
    That's just silly.

  19. Re:"Obviously lifted" not so obvious on Did Microsoft Borrow GPL Code For a Windows 7 Utility? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you could explain then.

  20. Doubleplusgood? on Fear Detector To Sniff Out Terrorists · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Isn't this a step towards thought crime?
    "He's scared, arrest him!"

  21. Re:No more HTML e-mail? on IBM Patents Changing Color of E-Mail Text · · Score: 1

    Read the patent again.

  22. Fixed emission levels on The Environmental Impact of Google Searches · · Score: 1

    I do believe that the CO2 emission caused by Google is pretty much at a fixed fix. So the more people search, the less CO2 is being caused per search. This is not the case with boiling water. The more you boil, the more emission you cause.

  23. Re:Ok on Novell Pulls Out Their Ace Against SCO · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So you call a probability of 0.01% likely? :-)
