  1. Re:Radicalized through Islam on FBI Director Comey: 'Highly Confident' Orlando Shooter Radicalized Through Internet (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Lone wolf terrorists fly under any opportune banner.

  2. Re:It's a free country on Tech-Unfriendly Cafes Say No Kindles Allowed · · Score: 1

    They tried this at a bar I go to in the early 2000's all laptops were banned, it worked until about 2005 when Blackberries started coming out and now 80% of the bar is on their iPhones but you will still be asked to leave if you use a laptop.

  3. Costs much less to maintain a MMORPG on LotR Online's Free-To-Play Switch Tripled Revenue · · Score: 1

    When this show started 10 years ago the amount of servers for a 1000 person "shard" was measured in racks, by the end of this decade I would not be surprised to see 1000 person servers on a single blade.

  4. You are almost to the point of needing QA on How Do You Prove Software Testing Saves Money? · · Score: 1

    QA can be contracted out for 20 dollars an hour in house, I would suggest you look into that. It is a full time job for anything but the smallest of code bases.

  5. TSA has made us an easier target on Auditors Question TSA's Tech Spending, Security Solutions · · Score: 2

    The long lines are what they are bombing now, terrorists targeting airports right now are thinking that rolling up with a suitcase filled with explosives in the middle of a large crowd waiting for security:

    a) Shuts down the whole airport.
    b) Inflicts more causalities than randomly crashing an airliner
    c) Will make security spend massive amounts of money countering

    Let''s review, TSA has made us less safe by offering us up as a larger and slower target. It is like putting security at the watering hole to make sure no one is a crocodile while lions eat everyone else who is waiting in line.

  6. Re:Charlie Wilson's War II on Did Stuxnet Take Out 1,000 Centrifuges At Natanz? · · Score: 1

    It was in at least 5 newspapers yesterday, Google it, I'm not your bitch.

  7. Re:Charlie Wilson's War II on Did Stuxnet Take Out 1,000 Centrifuges At Natanz? · · Score: 1

    I don't know ask them, they released over 50 of them last week and deported them into Afghanistan. Maybe to kill Americans?

    The only current threat of nuclear war in the middle east comes from Israel, unless you have some other proof of a secret program somewhere? Iran has 50 years of oil left and its gone, they are currently developing a nuclear program, no one has shown it be anything but civilian.

  9. Re:Similar to mixing up Baptists and Mormons on Did Stuxnet Take Out 1,000 Centrifuges At Natanz? · · Score: 1

    Iran, last week, released nearly all of its Al Qaeda prisoners, so what the fuck are you talking about? Don't claim I'm misinformed when you don't read the damn newspaper. I'm not implying that Iran and Al Qaeda are buddies but that they are working together in this instance against the United States, is that really surprising?

  10. Re:Really? on Did Stuxnet Take Out 1,000 Centrifuges At Natanz? · · Score: 1

    A company I worked for left some USB sticks laying around our break room one weekend, us local IT guys and corporate were the only ones in on it, by the end of the day, 8 out of 10 of the USB sticks had been plugged in. One low-level manager, had 3 of them and when we came into his office, he was offloading porn and mp3s from his work computer unto them.

  11. Charlie Wilson's War II on Did Stuxnet Take Out 1,000 Centrifuges At Natanz? · · Score: 2

    Iran has stepped up efforts at helping Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban and is now releasing all of its Al Qaeda terrorists back into the wilds of the Middle East, the question we should be asking, was this attack worth it if terrorism increased because of it? From what I have seen, no, we are now dealing with Iran supplying larger and larger munitions to the Taliban, 'Charlie Wilson's War' is going to have a sequel and this time the protagonist is going to be Iranian.

  12. Re:FOXNews has a problem not all of libertarianism on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 1

    Reason is far more accurate than Fox, I've never heard of it having problems with numbers or falsifying quotes.

    This is Slashdot, many of us don't watch TV.

  15. Beck claims to be a libertarian on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 2

    The one where Beck claims to be one so he can sucked people into thinking he has economic, political and theological answers to all their problems, when in reality he doesn't understand the concepts involved between between the Rawlsian 'difference principle' and Nozick's 'entitlement theory'.

  16. Re:MOD PARENT UP on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 4, Funny

    I miss the logical fallacy Nazis, they used to eat these freshman and drop outs for breakfast, while the rest of us were like tourists watching a lion eat a gazelle.

  17. FOXNews has a problem not all of libertarianism on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 3, Informative

    When was the last time Nozick had anything printed of his besides his Anarchy, State and Utopia? Do you even know who Nozick is, or do you get your libertarian views secondhand? Because that is what this survey is indicting you for, a lack of engaging with the source material, of understanding the nature of what is going on, not from any particular ideological viewpoint but understanding that is based on the bare facts. Foxnews gets the facts wrong, over and over again, Reason, The National Review and other libertarian and conservative news organizations don't have this problem, only Fox, that is what this study is getting at, comprehende?

  18. Re:So... on WikiLeaks Will Unveil Major Bank Scandal · · Score: 1

    Damn new moderation system. Have to reply to undo redundant score.

  19. It is all about resolution on The 5-Year Console Cycle Is Dead · · Score: 1, Insightful

    When even the latest and greatest 3D TVs only go up to 1080p and the vast majority of people playing games at 720p max who is going to buy a next gen console for a screen size that does not exist.
