  1. ...huh? on Anonymous Defaces Panda Security Site · · Score: 1

    Surviving members of anonymous and/or lulzsec

    You make it sound like there's only a handful of them, are you new to the internet or something?

  2. Re:Need to be used in certain places. on Cell Phone Jamming Devices Enjoy an Increase In Popularity · · Score: 1

    I'm talking about a hypothetical situation where this would be implemented by movie theaters legally. (I didn't say my scenario was realistic)
    And it makes plenty of sense, they have to be aware of the status of their phones at all times.
    Both a dead battery and a blocked signal would prevent calls, and if they're on call, they need to avoid these situations.

  3. Re:Need to be used in certain places. on Cell Phone Jamming Devices Enjoy an Increase In Popularity · · Score: 1

    I've seen a few good arguments to my statement, this however, is not one.
    These people would know the risk going in, it would fall on their own shoulders for being unavailable to receive calls.
    Should I blame the battery company too if their battery dies when they need to receive a call concerning their patients?

  4. Simple solution. on US Asserts Super-Jurisdiction Over Dot-Com, Dot-Net, and Dot-Org Domains · · Score: 1

    Switch off these domains.
    I'm thinking of switching to Dot-FuckyoUS

  5. Need to be used in certain places. on Cell Phone Jamming Devices Enjoy an Increase In Popularity · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Movie theaters come to mind at first, granted I don't go all that often, but still.
    They always have that announcement that everyone ignores to turn off your phone
    This way they don't have to ask, they just stop working.
    If there's some sort of emergency, I'm sure the theaters have a wired phone somewhere they can use quickly.

  6. What? on LulzSec Leader Sabu Unmasked, Arrested and Caught Collaborating · · Score: 1

    'This is devastating to the organization,' said an FBI official involved with the investigation. 'We're chopping off the head of LulzSec.'

    Once again, showing that the morons in power don't understand how the internet works.
    If you really want to call this guy a head, call him a head of a hydra.
    Chop off this so called head, and two more grow in it's place.

  7. Bullshit. on Scientists Say People Aren't Smart Enough For Democracy To Flourish · · Score: 1

    Their advantage over dictatorships or other forms of government is merely that they "effectively prevent lower-than-average candidates from becoming leaders."'"

    I think you've got that backwards, the only candidates we seem to get are well below average.

  8. I remember reading the opposite.
    I've also lost count of how many times I've had to use the "I'm a blind fucker" audio option because I can never read the damn things.
    On top of that, I'd imagine it'd be relatively easy to make a computer recognize simple numbers being spoken.
    (In before they start making the voices harder to understand too)

  9. Go suck a dick AT&T on AT&T Clarifies Data Limitations On "Unlimited" Data Plans · · Score: 1

    Anyone using above 3GB on an unlimited plan is a customer who isn't paying enough for the privilege

    Excuse me? You're robbing people blind with your ridiculously high prices.
    There's some months where my phone bill is higher than my damn electric bill.
    You can't tell me that electricity is easier to make. |:

  10. No way dude. on Startup Wants To Peek Through Your Home's Wired Cameras · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you want to sell some porn, hire some actors you cheapskates.

  11. Goods, always. on Video Games: Goods Or Services? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The game itself should always be classified as a "good", and should be able to be used in some form or another on it's own.
    Connection to a server in order to play with others, however, is a service.

  12. Really now? on Computer Programmers Only the 5th Most Sleep Deprived Profession · · Score: 2

    I question these results when neither Pilot nor Air Traffic Controller are on this list.

  13. Forgive me, but... on One In Eight Chance of a Financially Catastrophic Solar Storm By 2020 · · Score: 1

    I've heard every other year that there's going to be a devastating solar storm that will change electronics forever, or whatnot.
    I'm almost as tired of hearing this as I am of hearing the constant "We solved the energy crisis!" stories.

  14. Re:Need competition and regulation. on After Complaints, AT&T Solidifies, Increases Data Limit · · Score: 1

    I guess Sprint is bleeding customers so bad that they have begun leasing their bandwidth to other companies to resell.

    There are several small companies that do that in my area under AT&T.
    It's the only thing worse than being an AT&T customer, because, as you could guess, it doesn't work well if you actually use the service.

  15. Need competition and regulation. on After Complaints, AT&T Solidifies, Increases Data Limit · · Score: 4, Informative

    Leave the market alone, it'll be just fine they said.
    Bullshit, we're getting robbed blind by these people, costs should be nowhere near this high.
    If they took one day of bonus away from the CEO, they'd probably be able to upgrade their infrastructure enough to handle all of the current users without breaking a sweat.
    Oh, but no, CEO man has to have his 7 yachts and 5 mansions. We would be terrorists if we wanted him to go without just one yacht.

  16. Re:Please use this in political debates. on Speech-Jamming Gun Silences From 30 Meters · · Score: 1

    Really now? We need harsher moderators then -,-

  17. Cyberwar? *yawn* on US, China Face Mutually Assured Destruction In Cyberwar · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Whatever makes the warmongers in congress happy.
    At least this way we're not sending young men to die needlessly.

  18. Please use this in political debates. on Speech-Jamming Gun Silences From 30 Meters · · Score: 1

    Every bloody time I watch one, there's always the one idiot the moderator has to argue with for hours that his turn is up.
    Would be so much easier just to go "Time's up!" *zap*

  19. Re:Printing? on Torvalds Calls OpenSUSE Security 'Too Intrusive' · · Score: 1

    Haha, I'm glad someone caught it.

  20. Printing? on Torvalds Calls OpenSUSE Security 'Too Intrusive' · · Score: 1

    Back in my day, we copied pages by hand that we needed our own copies of. You're all a bunch of spoiled, lazy brats!
    Now if you'll excuse me, I have a hill to go up in order to get home.

  21. I can agree with this. on Interrupted Sleep Might Be the Best Kind · · Score: 2

    The longer i tend to sleep past 6 hours, the worse I feel throughout the day.
    Some of my best/most productive days have been on 3-4 hours of sleep.

  22. Oh hell no. on Obayashi To Build Space Elevator By 2050 · · Score: 1

    I hardly trust NORMAL elevators. Wake me up when they have space stairs.

  23. Oh please. on DHS Budget Includes No New Airport Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    Did the recent scandal involving TSA workers targeting women for scans make the White House realize that TSA is a national embarrassment?

    > Assuming that the DHS has any common sense at all.

  24. Pigeons? Really? on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    Of all the things to try to save, you're trying to save pigeons? There are so many of the flying rats in major cities, you could kill millions of them and there would STILL be too many.
