  1. Re:Other than Brother... on HP Printers Have A Pre-Programmed Failure Date For Non-HP Ink Cartridges (myce.com) · · Score: 1

    The air we breathe?

  2. Re:Definitely nothing to see here. on Panama Papers: Data Leak Exposes Massive Official Corruption (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Washington Post has smallish article about the Putin connection, otherwise Americans only know about it because of Snowden on twitter.

  3. Re:You have nothing to fear if on NSA Hacker Chief Explains How To Keep Him Out of Your System (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    You forgot about Texas and Kentucky.

  4. Re:why use anything besides Kodi? on What Might Have Happened To Windows Media Center · · Score: 1

    Torrents of sporting events suck beyond explaining.

  5. Re:Directly contacting gov agencies. Good idea? on Using Google Maps To Intercept FBI and Secret Service Calls · · Score: 1

    The real issue is that law enforcement has become big business. They're out for convictions, doesn't matter if you actually did anything illegal or not.

  6. Re:I like Windows 8 on Microsoft Blames PC Makers For Windows Failure · · Score: 1

    Windows 8 is the solution to Microsofts problems, not the users' problems.

    Bingo! We have a winner here. The guy several posts up that compared Ballmer and MS to Republicans was spot on.

  7. Re:Well, then you are an idiot on Unlocking New Mobile Phones Becomes Illegal In the US Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    "You can buy ANY phone you want, unlocked and then use it at least on normal SIM style networks. I am aware some carriers in the US have insane schemes but surely at least one sane European style phone company exists on US soil?"

    No, wrong. Not like that at all in the states.

    Oh, and take your medicine you fucking douchebag. The ridiculous crap you're spewing has zero to do with the fucked up cell phone landscape in the US.

  8. Back in the day... on Unlocking New Mobile Phones Becomes Illegal In the US Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    In the early 70's you had to rent a phone from Ma Bell and a guy came out to your house and hardwired the phone (you had to rent) to the wall. You had no choice, and you paid them what the bill said or you didn't get a phone. When the monopoly was broken up you had modular jacks installed and you used whatever phone you wanted.

    This seems no different.

  9. Generally on Supreme Court Hearing Case On Drug-Sniffing Dog "Fishing Expeditions" · · Score: 1

    Having an animal that's just as likely to get excited about smelling my butthole and crotch become an authoritarian figure in any kind of a crime investigation is simply ridiculous.

    The defendants should also be allowed to put the dog on the witness stand.

  10. Translation on FCC Wants To Fine Google $25K For WiFi Investigation · · Score: 1

    they want to fine the company $25,000 because it 'deliberately impeded and delayed the investigation.

  11. Re:Birthdays on Ask Slashdot: Companies That Force Employees To Join Social Networks? · · Score: 1

    Lie and run the risk of being permanently banned from using the service.

    That's at least the second time you've said this. Really, it's not a big deal. Go out and tell a few lies, get it off your chest, be like the rest of us.

    Moral of the story: Nobody cares, especially these fictitious "service banners" you babble about.

  12. Hilarious on Symantec Sued For Running Fake "Scareware" Scans · · Score: 0

    An entire page of people "in the know" talking about their favorite "scanner" of encrypted, closed source who-knows-what.

    Reality: nothing protects against a zero-day exploit. So you're all full of crap.

  13. Translation: on Is Overclocking Over? · · Score: 2

    PC's are so fast these days for our simple minds there is no longer a need to overclock.

    And GET OFF MY LAWN!

    This is a sure sign there are far too many lawyers in the world.

    Corporations are considered people in the US.

  16. Am I distracted? on NTSB Recommends Cell Phone Ban For Drivers · · Score: 1

    Can I recall the last 3-4 minutes of the road I traveled on in detail?

    On the phone, no.

    Un-distracted, yes.

    That was my scientific test 7-8 years ago, phone is put away where I can't get to it now when I drive.

  17. AV Marketing? on Two-Thirds of Lost USB Drives Carry Malware · · Score: 1

    From TFA:

    The experiment was done by antivirus firm Sophos, which acquired three bags of USB sticks lost by commuters on trains in the Greater Sydney metro area at an auction organized by the Rail Corporation New South Wales.

    Sounds like something drummed up by their marketing department?

  19. Re:"...guided through the 'Enhanced' corridor..." on Airport Security: Thermal Lie-Detectors, Cloned Sniffer Dogs · · Score: 1

    When did being a 'conservative' become equivalent to a head-up-yer arse fascist?

    1980. Ronald Reagan became president.

  20. Re:Hilarity on Valve Announces Massive Steam Server Intrusion · · Score: 1

    The forum account password and the steam account password are linked.

    Only if you are stupid.

  21. I'd rather have TrueCrypt for my phone on NoScript For Android Devices Released · · Score: 1

    Full disc encryption to keep the dick cops out of my phone with their Cellebrite cell phone extraction device.

  22. Re:Keep Moving! on What Happens When the Average Lifespan is 150 Years? · · Score: 1

    I plan to keep moving. I'll find something I can do to keep active, maybe get into politics and run for congress. That way I could be senile, old and still get payed.

    Reagan should have patented that.

  23. Oatmeal container, glue, and foil. on Boost Your Wi-Fi Signal Using Only a Beer Can · · Score: 1
  24. Re:Total Commander on Microsoft 'Ribbonizes' Windows 8 File Manager · · Score: 1

    Total Commander user since 1998, couldn't agree more.

    Still miffed he backed down from MS and renamed it from Wincommander though...

  25. Translation: on RealNetworks Sues Dutch Webmaster Over Hyperlink To Freeware · · Score: 1

    RealNetworks is in it's death throes and has turned to suing people to stay alive.

    This is a problem with companies that make intellectual property versus real things... they become irrelevant overnight and can't react fast enough. This is where the lawyers enter the fray.
