  1. Right.... Britain would be speaking German if it weren't for the US.. The only reason the US has ever "lost" a war was because the US decided the cost of the war was not worth the objective. Your "save them again" comment trivializes the close cooperation the US and UK governments have had since we decidedly kicked their butts out of our country.

  2. No more tests for NK on US To Deploy Ballistic Missile Interceptors In Response To North Korean Threats · · Score: 1

    Now that the pudgy leader decided to directly threaten the US, the US can simply use future NK tests as target practice. NK having had only a single successful launch following a failure cannot be that confident in their capability. Now they will be unable to perform any additional testing. If I was NK I wouldn't even set off any fireworks for a while......

  3. Re:I covered my dorm room with Pink Floyd... on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Block Noise In a Dorm? · · Score: 1

    Great taste in music

  4. Re:Hope the Auth Servers are Running! on StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm Released · · Score: 1

    I agree, StarCraft II connection requirements are pretty pedestrian. Any decent 5Mbps+ hard connection should handle 8 players. Are you using satellite or have a really crappy ISP or a duplex mismatch or something?

  5. Re:But on Facebook Knows If You're Gay, Use Drugs, Or Are a Republican · · Score: 1

    Most truly intelligent people do not need to join a club to proclaim their intelligence.... it should be self-evident.

  6. Re:Telomeres on Scientists Have Re-Cloned Mice To the 25th Generation · · Score: 1

    Telomeres are the caps on the end of DNA sequences, similar to the plastic on the tip of a shoelace. It holds the DNA strand together and signals the end of the DNA. Over time the telomeres shorten and eventually the DNA unravels. It is thought that the shorten of the telomeres may play a roll in aging / cell death cycle.

  7. Re:Time to form the MWaSP on The Web Standards Project (WaSP) Shuttered · · Score: 1

    If you aren't intelligent enough to understand why a standard is better than any particular organizations interpretation of a standard, now matter why point I make you will still not get it...

  8. Re:Zircon encrusted tweezers on Long-Lost Continent Found Under the Indian Ocean · · Score: 1

    Never knew about the Zircon encrusted tweezers or Zappas cat named tweezer.... I would be my left toe that's where the phish song title comes from... learn something useless everyday.

  9. Re:Interesting fact on Long-Lost Continent Found Under the Indian Ocean · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To some people, I think Microsoft is like that girl that wronged them in high school and they still can't get over it... Even though she's married to someone else, and she's always friendly to you now, you still will always think she is a bitch.

  10. :Super-Glue + Jello or Latex on Fingerprint Purchasing Technology Ensures Buyer Has a Pulse · · Score: 1

    That should read Super-Glue

  11. Super + Jello or Latex on Fingerprint Purchasing Technology Ensures Buyer Has a Pulse · · Score: 1

    Why can't you simply use misted cyanoacrylate to get a good impression of the desired print and mold customer latex gloves for yourself or use a gelatin impression on top of your finger with that person's finger/handprint?

  12. Apparently Yahoo Collaboration products suck... on Mayer Terminates Yahoo's Remote Employee Policy · · Score: 1

    Marissa is just admitting that any collaboration products yahoo has are simply not good enough to enable people to effectively work remotely... If Yahoo isn't able to implement effective telecommuting for their employees, that says something about their capabilities as a company.

  13. (2) 28" 1920x1200 and (1) 42" 1920x1080 on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your Favorite Monitor For Programming? · · Score: 1

    I use 2 28" 1920x1200 HANS-G LCDs and a single 42" LED TV in the middle for gaming.

    The only giant dicks on the road in the US are the ones in the vehicles... (btw I'm American)

  15. Re:offtopic... on Printable AR-15 Mag Gets More Reliable; YouTube Pulls Video of Demo · · Score: 1

    I completely agree... I think the prudish culture was invented by guys with small penises... or maybe its because its easier to explain a gun to a kid than a penis.

  16. Intellectually Dishonest on Printable AR-15 Mag Gets More Reliable; YouTube Pulls Video of Demo · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Youtube (AKA Google) is being intellectually dishonest and going back on its ideal of providing unbiased free access to information. Google has become an active filterer of this information. The video is not graphic, it is not sexual, it is relevant and political and Google has decided that is not appropriate for viewers.... Thank you Big Brother Google for protecting me from information. Maybe we should start filtering books, or speech?

  17. Since they have access... on Chinese Hack New York Times · · Score: 5, Funny

    Since they already have access, the NYTimes can just outsource the writing to China. This will reduce labor costs and save China the trouble of filtering articles they do not like. Think of all the new potential readers....

  18. Re:Where does extra energy go? on Mathematical Breakthrough Sets Out Rules For More Effective Teleportation · · Score: 1

    The input energy in order to entangle the particles or to set a particular state maybe different depending on their relative position to each other.

  19. Re:Don't trust "the cloud" on Patient Access To Electronic Medical Records Strengthened By New HHS Rules · · Score: 1

    I work with a company named Dynamic Vault http://www.dynamicvault.com/ and we are a cloud & disaster recovery provider focused on the healthcare industry. Cloud services in general are rapidly growing and this holds true for especially for the healthcare industry. As offers further mature, this will ultimately lead to a cost savings and increased data security for providers. Centralizing your infrastructure and using a leveraged support model absolutely delivers a better value than many disparate systems supported individually. A simplistic example would be a small 1-2 provider practice that keeps their server on-site versus in a secure data center facility.

  20. Re:Real world equivalents on Hacktivism: Civil Disobedience Or Cyber Crime? · · Score: 1

    The equivalent of picketing in mind is creating a lot noise on the Internet such as bad reviews, pages that expose the company etc and trying to increase these sites page ranks on search engines such as google. I don't see anything illegal about that, and it still can negatively impact the company although in a much less direct way.

  21. Re:Real world equivalents on Hacktivism: Civil Disobedience Or Cyber Crime? · · Score: 1

    Actually that's more like your ISP taking your site down to performance maintenance to improve your throughput/latency... inconvenient maybe, but you or your customer benefit in the end.

  22. Real world equivalents on Hacktivism: Civil Disobedience Or Cyber Crime? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Things in the virtual world should be treated as their real-world equivalents. DDOS is the same as preventing access to a business, this is illegal in the physical world. You can picket, but you cannot impeded customers' access to the facility. For Doxing, if you steal the information, you are liable. This should be no different in the virtual world. If the info was publically accessible, go for it. If it was obtained illegally, then you have to pay the consequences.

  23. Fingerprints are awful on Google Declares War On the Password · · Score: 2

    Fingerprint readers are one of the WORST methods of security. Imagine if you left your password on everything you touched. A little super-glue mist and someone has your password. Biometric fingerprint readers can easily be tricked with a good latex impression of the print and little bit of moisture and heat.

    No the difference is .NET is more secure, performs better and is better supported by the less of the 2 evils.

  25. Anon is showing its lack of legal knowledge.... on Anonymous Files Petition To Make DDoS Legal Form of Protest · · Score: 1

    Even meatspace protests are illegal if the impede a company's ability to operate. You can stand outside of a bank with a sign, you cannot block its entrance. DDOS is the equivalent of blocking the entrance to the bank, not merely standing outside of it and shouting.
