  1. Re:At least it requires a court order on Posting AC - a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1

    I get tired of people who hide behind AC thinking they can get away with harassment and forum owners who won't take control of the situation. At least this requires a court order, which means the person or group demanding the information be made available must provide a reasonable justification to the court as to why it must be done. It's not a perfect system, but it's better than saying, "You can't allow anonymous posting."

    It is a wonder how so many trolls, permanently grumpy people, and jerks see their useless rantings as brilliant freedom fighter communiques. Monkeys throwing feces. Still, given how things are going in our Great Land of Liberty I think I'd rather hang out with the monkeys.

  2. Re:As always... on Open Source Guy Takes the Hardest Job At Microsoft · · Score: 1

    It's a trap!

    No kidding. Gianugo Rabellino, the latest in a long of MS "open source" evangelists who are really cannon fodder, trotted out at conferences and press conferences to receive the rotten tomatoes. MS claims to hire the best and the brightest, and yet they keep finding people who actually take these thankless, impossible yes-but jobs. Doesn't seem all that bright to me.

  3. Re:7 billion for this? on Intel Completes McAfee Acquisition · · Score: 1

    Its McAfee not mcaffee .And the company isnt just about anti-virus you insensitive clod , its about hundreds of other enterprise levels products which make a _lot_ of money .

    True. They're garbage, but they sell. American capitalism is amazing and wonderful.

  4. There is one number value on Windows insecurity on Intel Completes McAfee Acquisition · · Score: 1

    No wonder Windows "security" still stinks, they're supporting a multi-billion dollar parasite "security" ecosystem.

  5. yeah and more time with his family on HBGary Federal CEO Aaron Barr Steps Down · · Score: 5, Funny

    and rehab, and the blahblahlblah usual excuses that mean "I don't know the first thing about security, but I have insider connections and can con almost anyone, especially other ignorant stupid CEOs. It's been a wonderful, lucrative experience! God bless, see you all in my new venture, securitized subprime mortgage loans!"

  6. Re:We're Number One! on China Cleans Up Spam Problem · · Score: 1

    Down to #18, SHOW THEM!!! We need to retain our leadership in something, eh? Perhaps, we can offer bulk mail rates for spammers, like the USPS. BTW, I noticed that the Chinese are a little on the lite side, weight-wise, when compared to our corn-fed-beef-fed Americans. There may be more of them, but as a whole we probably outweigh them. And did I mention that we have a better Super Bowl? Now, don't even get me started about NASCAR . . .

    Sad, isn't it. If it's any consolation we're #1 in infant mortality amongst industrialized nations. USA!

  7. Re:Rankings are rank. on China Cleans Up Spam Problem · · Score: 0

    "For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?" Maybe you're being funny and I'm too thick to get it-- the correct term is "intents and purpose". Though intensive makes sense in a Joey Tribbiano-sort of way.

  8. the summary is for a different video on Microsoft Shows Off Radical New UI, Could Be Used In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Because the "bubbles" got about two seconds of attention. The rest was airy-fairy 'Minority Report'-style handwaving.

  9. Pandora pays royalties on Music Execs Stressed Over Free Streaming · · Score: 1

    Pandora and other streaming services have to pay royalties, they don't get a free ride. They offer a whole lot more value, as so many people have noted, than the traditional pick-from-crappy-top-10 only business model. The bigwigs in the music industry cry a river every time someone challenges that. Slow learners.

  10. a step in the right direction on Over 40,000 John Doe Copyright Troll Cases Dismissed · · Score: 2

    Now how about sanctions and damages for obviously corrupt and bogus litigation?

  11. free healthcare... on New Internal Cavity X-ray Technology for Airports · · Score: 1

    ...is now at airports. OK. Cool.
