  1. Re:Again on Anonymous Hack One Gigabyte of Data From NATO · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Of course the majority of people have nothing "but the best intentions" at heart.

    However, my point was if we're going to start attempting to make these "anon" people start owning up for their actions let's start with the ones committing actual atrocities. You know the ones covering up the things Anon uncovers.

    And I'm not sure if we watched the same video, but the boys in that one firing the guns didn't seem too hesitant about killing those people. I don't think they're losing any sleep.

    My boyfriend is in the marines (gay), so I know a few people in the forces (now that that's out of the way).

    Makes you wonder what would happen in the world if people in the armed forces were actually held responsible for their actions and were not able to do whatever they wanted.

  3. Oh no... on Sheikh Carves His Name In Desert So It's Visible From Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hope he didn't infringe on a copyrighted font for that project!

  4. Why Stop There? on Scientists Breeding Super Bees · · Score: 1

    Can we start breeding "super" humans that are immune to cancer, disease, cold, mites and pesticides?

    That way we don't have to worry about what we put in our air, water and soil since we'll just be immune to it!

  5. Kudos on Google Bid Pi Billion Dollars For Nortel Patents · · Score: 1

    Nice to see a company with some sense of (dork) humor. I'd have liked to see the faces when the bids came in with these numbers lol

  6. Re:Credit Where Credit Is Due on Groupon Deal of the Day: 300,000 Customer Accounts · · Score: 2

    If I had said they "only" deserve this credit than maybe you'd have a point, however, I said "also" since this article was supposed to be a sweeping appraisal of a response to a rather disgusting action. They deserve credit for both actions, not just their "brush this under the rug asap".

  7. Credit Where Credit Is Due on Groupon Deal of the Day: 300,000 Customer Accounts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I guess they also "deserve credit" for allowing it to occur in the first place?

  8. Lesson Learned? on Lawsuit Claims Sony Canned Security Staff Just Before Data Breach · · Score: 1

    And none of them hacked in to change the PowerPoint for shareholders to porn?

    They must have not learned from our article earlier this week...

  9. Re:Motivation on Why Johnny Can't Code and How That Can Change · · Score: 1

    "You didn't know anything, and never should pretend that you do."

    I agree with the humble and sanity check, but I had to laugh because that sounds like what managers tell their employees so they can keep thinking that pittance of a salary is worth it.

  10. Re:Motivation on Why Johnny Can't Code and How That Can Change · · Score: 1

    Definitely.

    I'm not saying that these things aren't useful, but students aren't being given the foresight as to why they are useful to learn now.

  11. Re:How did you come to that conclusion? on Tesla Will Discontinue the Roadster · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the clarification/disambiguation!

    I always wanted to own a roadster when I could afford such a thing; they look HOT

  12. Motivation on Why Johnny Can't Code and How That Can Change · · Score: 1

    That was the one frustrating thing about CS classes it seemed like a whole lot of useless exercises. I wanted something that felt like it would matter later; exercises that show me how to draw a circle on the screen are great, but students need applicable exercises to show them why this stuff matters.

    When we'd talk after class as juniors in college we wondered if we really knew anything at all, because it felt like we didn't.

    Motivation is everything and if you feel like what you're learning has no applicability it's damn depressing.

  13. Re:Bear Grylls on Practical "Smell-o-Vision" System Being Developed · · Score: 1

    I'd like to smell that dirty boy any day.

  14. Good on LulzSec Teams With Anonymous, In Operation AntiSec · · Score: 1

    I like this version of government transparency better. Not only is it quicker but it certainly makes for better reads and watching than CSPAN!

  15. Re:The real counter measure on Apple Patents Tech to Stop iPhones Filming in Venues · · Score: 1

    Don't worry it'll never come to that.

    It'll be illegal to film police period.

  16. Hackers 2 on Is This the Golden Age of Hacking? · · Score: 2

    Can we make another movie with Angelina and just throw in Brad Pitt so we can get the 2x the eye candy in a techy movie? Keep Megan Fox out she's way too dumb for a hacker-esque movie...

  17. Toolbars & Viruses on Why Groupon Not As Rosy As It Appears · · Score: 2

    Damn I was hoping this was going to be about how coupon sites attract women to install toolbars and download viruses.

    I already assumed large consumer-whore businesses had crooked chairmen...

  18. Praise Xena on Google Incrementally Dropping Support For Older Browsers · · Score: 5, Informative

    I wish more sites would do this, I'm so sick of having to help my parents cause their work websites only work with "Internet Explorer 5.5+"

  19. Try Henson More on Lack of Technology Puts Star Wars Series On Hold · · Score: 2

    Because we want to replace all the non-human characters with CG ones?

    I'd rather take my Jim Henson puppets from Farscape, Dark Crystal and Yoda thanks.

  20. Still stings? on NATO Report Threatens To 'Persecute' Anonymous · · Score: 2

    HBGary still paying off people to try and stick it to Anon after they revealed how useless all the money going to HBGary was?

    Huh...

    We should certainly be fearful of people who are able to hack into systems taxpayers paid for. Maybe the government should start hiring them!

    It's always scary when there are motivated people who will expose just how worthless you are.

  21. Um Help? on CDC Warns of Zombie Apocalypse · · Score: 1

    I like how "...and how patients can be treated." falls at the very end.

  22. Checks & Balances on Kaspersky Calls For 'Internet Interpol' · · Score: 1

    Why would ICE & DHS give up their god given rights to pull anything they wanted off the net?

    This sounds like there's way too much room for possible checks and balances...

  23. Cause on Coffee Wards Off Cancer · · Score: 1

    I'm interested in what's causing such a high amount of prostate cancer among us men.

    Is it the processed sugar they're dumping in their coffee/food? Pesticides, herbicides from our produce?

    I wish we could find the multi-determinent causes faster =/

  24. No on Tech Experts Look To Help Save the Postal Service · · Score: 0

    Adapt or die. I'm not bailing out another failing business.

  25. Old Hat on Do Gadgets Degrade Our Common Sense? · · Score: 1

    Haven't we seen people argue this for just about every invention created?

    Books, TV, Movies, Music, Computers, Vibrators...

    I mean do these authors live in a vacuum and think their ideas are "fresh and new"?
