  1. Some time ago some sensible folks pointed out that there is no such thing as "cyber crime" just "crime". For the very same reasons, there really is no such thing as "your rights online", just "your rights" and I'd like to remind everyone that the concept of "rights" is not the same everywhere.

  2. Can we please drop this concept of "YRO"? on Twitter Clampdown Could Impede Anonymous Tweets · · Score: 4, Interesting

  3. Re:Please Define on Hip Hop Artists Developing Open Source Beat Making Software · · Score: 1

    Besides the non politically correct bit at the end, this is basically right. FL Studio is easy to learn and easy to pirate which has quite a bit to do with why its popular in hip hop.

  4. Re:Please Define on Hip Hop Artists Developing Open Source Beat Making Software · · Score: 1

    Been making music using electronics & computers for a long time. Had not heard of this software. Clicked the link, took a look at the screenshots. First thing I said to myself was "this is so obviously a Linux thing" meaning I figure I'd spend more time fighting/futzing with the software than making music.

  5. error in summary on IP Lawfirm Sues Typosquatting Security Researcher · · Score: 2

    Why do we continue to call these sorts of clowns "researchers"?

  6. Re:ProTools is the antithesis of OpenSource on MusOpen Releases Open Source Classical Music As Pro Tools Files · · Score: 1

    >There is no DAW software as good as Cockos Reaper. Shades of a GIMP advocate!

  7. Good News Everyone! on Microsoft-Funded Startup Aims To Kill BitTorrent Traffic · · Score: 0

    Considering how bittorrent traffic defecates on networking gear.

  8. I dont believe any of it on What Various Studies Really Reveal About File-Sharing · · Score: 1

    Running small labels since before Napster has taught me that the freetards of the entitlement generation are no Robin Hoods, they take from the rich as well as the not rich.Every study seems to represent either the big industry or freetards POV and none of them seem to have any sort of rational methodology or business impact calculations.

  9. Censorship and corruption in Fatah? on Tor Researchers' Tool Aims To Map Out Internet Censorship · · Score: 1

    What do you expect from a former Soviet client terrorist organization?

  10. Re:Try this test on Analytic Thinking Can Decrease Religious Belief · · Score: 1

    Figured I'd say something like this myself. Actually you dont need to be up there with Rabbi Adin Steinsalz, pretty much any yeshiva student or average Jew doing daf yomi (page a day Talmud study) is already engaged on a pretty high level of analytic study.

  11. What a surprise on Iran's Oil Industry Hit By Cyber Attacks · · Score: 1

    OK actually its pretty darn typical that so many of the posts are engaging in Jew baiting or hating. Thats how /. rolls for the most part.

  12. Wait, what? on Apple: Greenpeace's Cloud Critique Driven By Bogus Numbers · · Score: 1

    Some saying Greenpeace lied about something? Did someone just say that the the attention whores are in fact attention whores instead of putting them up on the Owl Gwar pedestal?

  13. What a crock on Federal Court Allows Class-Action Suit Against Apple Over In-App Purchases · · Score: 1

    I did some stupid things as a kid that cost my parents at least $200 of 1970's money. They did not sue anyone.

  14. Low even for slashdot on Wikileaks and Anonymous Join Forces Against US Intelligence Community · · Score: 1

    Vice as a source? Really?

  15. Why not just "bank robbers"? on Hackers Steal $6.7M In Bank Cyber Heist · · Score: 2

    I could understand the mass media using the word "hackers" here but /. should know better. These guys are just bank robbers and we dont differentiate between bank robbers who use handguns vs those with knives vs those who claim to have a bomb strapped to them.

  16. Bravo! on MRI Powered Pill-Sized Robot Swims Through Intestines · · Score: 1

    Bravo Slashdot! A post where Israel is mentioned and not a single mentally challenged individual went off on a tin foil hat rant about ZOG, "apartheid" and so on. I'm proud that there was only one blatant Jew hate post.

  17. Re:It could be worse on Filesharing Now an Official Religion In Sweden · · Score: 1

    Art has now become an abundant good

    Perhaps you meant crap is abundant. If so I'd remind you that crap has always been abundant.

  18. Re:Dunno on Report Condemns Japan's Response To Nuclear Accident · · Score: 0

    Have you had yourself checked for Aspergers or other types of social disorders?

  19. Re:Dunno on Report Condemns Japan's Response To Nuclear Accident · · Score: 0

    I was raised by two hard science PHD parents who had manners before they had doctorates.

  20. Re:This is really dangerous! on Israeli Spyware Sold To Iran · · Score: 0

    True but how are you going to rile up the masses with a headline about traffic shapers?

  21. Re:Dunno on Report Condemns Japan's Response To Nuclear Accident · · Score: 0

    where being right is more important than being polite.

    Sorry to be cliche but were you raised in a barn?

  22. Re:Damn Apple and its unbridled success on Apple Buys Israeli Flash Manufacturer · · Score: 0

    Well trolled good sir!

  23. Re:First strike? on Iran's Military Claims To Have Downed US Surveillance Drone · · Score: 0

    I'm sure i'll get labeled a racist for not kissing the booty but i have a feeling this is the USA wasting yet more money to dance to Israel's tune.

    Not racist, just conspiracy minded and possibly a rider of the short bus.

  24. Hardly censorship on Tracking Censorship Through Copyright Proposals Worldwide · · Score: 0

    Pawn shops in many countries are regulated businesses, they are supposed to engage in good faith efforts not to trade in stolen or counterfeit goods. Same goes for many places which specialize in the buying and selling of many types of used goods. Is that "censorship"?

  25. Formerly interesting on Lego Bible Too Racy For Sam's Club · · Score: 0

    That site was at one time interesting for a unique portrayal of texts shared by several faiths. At some point the creator decided to pander to the anti-theist crowd, or maybe he was just like that all along and held it in check. After that I stopped bothering with the site.
