  1. Re:He saved money on Man Pays $200,000 To Save Fake Online Girlfriend · · Score: 0

    Mod parent up. Sometimes it takes an Anonymous Coward to deliver to the cold hard truth.

  2. Easy on What Would You Do With Open.org? · · Score: 1

    Welcome to open.org. This is open.org. Welcome! This is open.org, welcome to open.org! You can do anything at open.org, anything at all! The only limit is yourself! Welcome to open.org! Welcome to open.org. Welcome to open.org. This is open.org.

  3. Re:What about... on Music Execs Stressed Over Free Streaming · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've had the opposite reaction. Whenever I find a great song on pandora, I want to listen to it again so bad that I usually buy it. Pandora does wonders for traditional markets.

  4. In a world full of speeders on Smart Phone Gets Driver Out of a Speeding Ticket · · Score: 1

    the cop has the rotten luck of pulling over the one honest guy.

  5. Canonical ignoring the essentials on Canonical To Divert Money From GNOME · · Score: 1

    what with ditching gnome, focusing on their terrible ubuntu one, and now crap like this, I feel like Canonical is getting focused on the wrong kinds of things. Just another reason to be glad I jumped ship.

  6. It's just mind tricks on Army Psy Ops Units Targeted American Senators · · Score: 1

    these are not the spending cuts you are looking for.

  7. My purchase depends on on Biodegradable Sneakers Sprout Flowers When Planted · · Score: 1

    how good these flowers are at holding off zombies.

  8. Piracy killed it on The Uncertain Future of NYC's Last Arcade · · Score: 1

    It's about as logical as piracy killing anything else.

  9. So they took down the website on Voice of America Site Forced Offline By 'Iranian Cyber Army' · · Score: 1

    of a radio station? Sounds like an anonymous operation.

  10. And here I worked so hard to pirate it. on Trying To Lure Suckers, Company Resells Open Source Blender · · Score: 1

    I would switch to the real thing, but where's the thrill?

  11. Re:Help me out, people... on Former Senator Chris Dodd Set To Head MPAA · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. The scoundrel will be in good company.

  12. How does this end up on slashdot on Anonymous Denies Targeting Westboro Baptist Church · · Score: 2

    From TFA: The church sent out its own open letter, telling the online hacktivist group to “bring it.” “A puddle of pimple-faced nerds organised under the cowardly banner of ‘Anonymous’ claim they plan to hack Westboro's websites Bad miscalculation, girls!” said the letter. “Let us tell you how this will go: rebels will build a full head of steam based on false hope; the media will predictably do much breathless anticipating while giving another tsunami of coverage to Westboro's message; God will defeat your council; your efforts will fail.” This is obviously BS. You're getting trolled slashdot.

  13. Re:This is silly. on Oil Companies Patent Trolling Biofuel Production · · Score: 1

    Then we'll just steal the technology from China. Bring on the free cookie legislation!

  14. WBC has done more for free speech than Anonymous on Anonymous Goes After GodHatesFags.com · · Score: 1

    I hate to say this since I despise WBC. But when WBC goes out and tests the limits of free speech, and our courts set firmly in place that no, you cannot stop someone from saying something, just because it's "offensive", they do more to protect my free speech than a bunch of script kiddies do DDOSing company websites that hardly anyone even goes to.

  15. Only one-quarter quality! on Goodbye, HD Component Video · · Score: 1

    So you mean it looks exactly the same as HD? Which looks exactly the same as DVD quality?

  16. How about... on Stanford, UCD Researchers Say 100% Renewable Energy Possible By 2050 · · Score: 1

    "Those public-health benefits might include saving 2.5 to 3 million lives each year." Why don't we start bringing this number to the forefront of the debate? We've spent over 1 trillion dollars in the middle east because 3000 people died, can we spend 1 quadrillion on energy to save 3 million lives?

  17. Not a surprise on Foreign Hackers Attack Canadian Government · · Score: 1

    Cyber mounties are a joke.

  18. Lawsuit Still Pending on Man Open Sources His Genetic Data · · Score: 4, Funny

    His parents are going to get him for derivative works.

  19. Re:We worship the blowhard on Glen Beck Warns Viewers Not To Use Google · · Score: 1

    No /. leans right, \. leans left.

  20. So instead of content farms on Google Goes After Content Farms · · Score: 1

    Now google will have to deal with botnets constantly complaining about the competition's websites. This is not the winning strategy.

  21. Re:Wrong order. on Motorola Adopting 3 Laws of Robotics For Android? · · Score: 1

    "The authorized user" is not always the owner of the device. They're trying to build enterprise software, so they assume that the system might be compromised.

  22. Re:Medicare bigger than DoD, Social Security close on Science Programs Hit Hard By Proposed Budget · · Score: 1

    Medicare absolutely needs to be front in center in the budget discussion. The ballooning cost of health care is the greatest threat to this countries finances. Insurance premiums doubled from 2000-2006. That's why the President's health care plan reduces the deficit by 138 billion dollars over the next 10 years. It's the most significant effort to cut the deficit in 15 years. You fix health care even a little, and you make a big impact.

  23. Why fire her? on Teacher Suspended Over Blog About Students · · Score: 1

    Just mod down her blog. Then nobody will see it. Trolling about kids is no reason for a perma-ban.

  24. I was thinking of calling it a con on Online-Only Currency BitCoin Reaches Dollar Parity · · Score: 4, Insightful

    until I realized starting up a system like this isn't really any different than what banks do with fractional reserve banking.

  25. Does no one on slashdot know what a TLD is? on Can World Governments Veto Your Domain Name? · · Score: 1

    Hint: it's not a domain name.
