  1. Re:It's Easy! on Can We Fix SSL Certification? · · Score: 1

    Verifying that the site you're talking to is the actual one you think you're talking to isn't a test of how reliable/trustworthy a site is? Seems like a good usage of the adjective to me.

  2. Re:It's Easy! on Can We Fix SSL Certification? · · Score: 1

    If the sarcasm hadn't come through with Angie's List I thought the Super Pages would be a dead giveaway...

  3. It's Easy! on Can We Fix SSL Certification? · · Score: 1

    Can't we just use Angie's List to let us know who reliable sites are? Or Super Pages?

  4. Sounds Great! on Yahoo, Facebook Test "Six Degrees of Separation" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Oh whoops while we were performing this test we accidentally shared a whole bunch of private information with our partners.

  5. No Constructive Checks! on Aaron Barr Talks About DEFCON, Anonymous Attacks · · Score: 1

    To me "constructive" is outing worthless government contractors who are worthless.

    Shedding light on how our government throws money away on these inept (and most likely friends') contractors is what we need.

  6. Re:Goodbye RIM - it was nice knowing you on RIM Helping UK Police Track Down Rioters · · Score: 1

    I understand the geographical difference between the UK and Indianapolis and that they didn't happen in Indianapolis. It was an anecdotal reference to the parent post about how useless BB are and why people would use them.

    Thanks for tunnel-visioning your reply and understanding of the conversation we were having.

  7. Re:Goodbye RIM - it was nice knowing you on RIM Helping UK Police Track Down Rioters · · Score: 1

    I must have not paid enough attention to phones in Skins.

  8. Re:Goodbye RIM - it was nice knowing you on RIM Helping UK Police Track Down Rioters · · Score: 1

    General Motors, but I agree in either case.

  9. Re:There's a line on RIM Helping UK Police Track Down Rioters · · Score: 1

    If by "we" you mean America then you're taking it quite out of context. We live in a huge country with a lot of space; it's a lot harder to organize and protest with our geographic size.

    We don't "lose our minds" by protesting because a lot of people don't care (like that innocent bystander that was shot to death in Miami and another that was shoved to the ground and has his phone smashed for taping it).

    Stop living in whatever red, white and blue wonderland acid trip you're in.

  10. Re:Goodbye RIM - it was nice knowing you on RIM Helping UK Police Track Down Rioters · · Score: 1

    I'm just surprised this many people use it that RIM can even help.

    Was just at GenCon in Indianapolis and one of our GM friends was using her BB to try and scan QR codes for a contest; it was hilarious to see.

  11. Ugh PDF on Measuring Broadband America Report Released · · Score: 1

    You know FCC could you please add hyperlinks to your PDF so I can easily go to the desired section?

  12. Re:Deprived Again on Missouri Law Says Students, Teachers Can't Be Facebook Friends · · Score: 1

    If I'm an 18 year old high school student and want to be friends with my math teacher who are you or the state to tell us we are unable to?

    Nobody is the correct answer.

    Next up you can't friend your uncle, friend's parents or priests/bishops/clergy members in case they're out to molest you.

  13. Deprived Again on Missouri Law Says Students, Teachers Can't Be Facebook Friends · · Score: 1

    Teachers and students should be the ones to make this decision not the state.

    And if the students happen to be minors the parents should be monitoring their child's Facebook usage, again not the State.

    I'm not sure what this moronic governor thinks, but the government is not a replacement for parenting.

  14. Re:You Know... on Review: Cowboys & Aliens · · Score: 1

    No I liked Pitch Black and I like Vin Diesel his voice is crazy.

    But Cowboys & Aliens looks like it will be as good as The Pacifier (2/10) was, which I only saw very drunk and only because Vin was in it.

  15. You Know... on Review: Cowboys & Aliens · · Score: 2

    It might be worth seeing if it had Vin Diesel.

    And I was really drunk.

  16. Stop While You're Ahead on GAO Report: DoD Incompetent At Cybersecurity · · Score: 0

    You could have just stopped after "Incompetent"

    Can we explicitly name ICE and DHS in there too?

    I hear they can't take down the right webpage and only listen to media corporations

  17. Re:Kinda walked into that one on How Google Killing Accounts Can Leave Androids Orphaned · · Score: 2

    I agree.

    As an American in Germany for the summer there were 10-13 year olds running around naked on the beach, which while extremely awkward for me (coming from America) seemed totally natural to everyone else there.

    A nude body isn't pornographic just because it is a nude body.

  18. Oh well on New NASA Data Casts Doubt On Global Warming Models · · Score: 1

    I'm glad for these kind of alarmist views spurring people to save energy, think cleaner and take responsibility ("carbon footprint" lol).

  19. Re:It's so disgusting to be old like that! on McCain Decries "Hobbits," Accused of Ringbearing · · Score: 1

    That was the one thing I liked about having to read The Giver. You over 55? Time to be released!

  20. Gross Ugly Old Man on McCain Decries "Hobbits," Accused of Ringbearing · · Score: 1

    Let's please not compare Tea Party members to sex icons like Elijah Wood and Sean Astin.

    Now you're just being plain disrespectful McCain.

  21. Not All Pedos on British ISP Ordered To Block Links to Pirate Site · · Score: 1

    Why are all file sharers always grouped up with "websites featuring child sexual abuse"?

    I understand that some people don't agree with file sharing, that's fine. But they need to stop likening gas station gum theft to bank robbery and child rape.

  22. Re:Cue a gazillion posts... on MS-DOS Is 30 Years Old Today · · Score: 1

    I remember reading the MS-DOS guide when we got our first Compaq computer (I think 2nd grade). Boy was that bland. And then when I switched to UNIX style all the commands were messed up!

    I'm 26 though, so not quite an old fart yet.

  23. Re:16 trillion? A typo? on Fed Audit's Initial Report Reveals Trillions in Secret Loans · · Score: 1

    Search the GAO PDF for "trillion" and you'll find several instances.

    Look at the CitiGroup bailout, they were worth "Citigroup was the second largest banking organization in the United States, with total consolidated assets of approximately $2 trillion."

  24. Surprise! on Fed Audit's Initial Report Reveals Trillions in Secret Loans · · Score: 1

    I wish I had a surprise face for this, but things like this just don't seem to surprise me anymore.

    They're almost expected?

  25. Re:Again on Anonymous Hack One Gigabyte of Data From NATO · · Score: 2

    I agree on lacking hesitation: people die from hesitation.

    The glee, enjoyment and frivolity displayed by these men, however, seems to add to the reasons why these incidents are covered up.

    And again I agree with punishing those who covered it up, but that frivolity is sickening.
