  1. What do you expect? on Senator Feinstein: We Need Video Game Control · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It is the usual democratic knee-jerk reaction.

    As opposed to the alternate republican knee-jerk reaction.

    I don't even think that these people believe the verbal diarrhea they spew, but it plays well to their constituents.

    Overall, across the country, crime is down. Way down, and that includes murder and murder by gun. That doesn't seem to get considered in their posturing.

  2. Re:OPs title is wrong, and biased... on Build a Secret Compartment, Go To Jail · · Score: 1

    There have been people convicted of multiple murders and rape that have gotten less.

  3. Wow! on Private Collector Builds Apple Pop-Up Museum · · Score: 1

    I've got some toast with the image of Steve Jobs on it.

  4. Re:oh, no, Google does no evil... on No "Ungoogleable" In Swedish Lexicon, Thanks to Google · · Score: 1

    Methinks the AC is the idiot.

    I did read the fraking article, you trog. Quoting the article; "Google does not own the language!" And the same thing was said in other articles this morning.

    And I still stand by my comment, that a company, such as Google, that claims to have an ethical or moral compass or charter that it follows and then obviously bullies a country, is more evil than if MS were to do the same thing.

    So, please, tell me why I am an idiot. And why you are a coward.

  5. oh, no, Google does no evil... on No "Ungoogleable" In Swedish Lexicon, Thanks to Google · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Google is just like any other corporation. IMHO, worse so, as Google pretends to have ethics and morals. Bah! Where is Dogpile or Bing...

  6. Re:What was that Sony thing called? on Bezos Patenting 'Dumb' Tablets, Glasses, Windshields · · Score: 1

    And now Bezos has a patent on such a device...

    No. 'Pending'

  7. The guy playing the captain... on IRS Spent $60,000 Producing Star Trek Parody · · Score: 4, Funny

    had a good screen presence. With a little training, he might be as good as William Shatner.

  8. Thumbdrives on Ask Slashdot: Simplifying Encryption and Backup? · · Score: 1

    No data, important or confidential data, resides on any system drive, including smartphones. It gets written to a thumbdrive. Stuff like music and video is just backed up the usual way with the system up and running. The thumbdrives reside in a safe, along with the wallet and other hard to replace stuff. And I rotate the stuff out to another site. It all just became a habit as I found things that worked.

  9. Re:chicken or egg? on GCC 4.8.0 Release Marks Completion of C++ Migration · · Score: 1

    I still have the scars from 'programming' the PDP-8.

  10. Erin Callan on Sheryl Sandberg and Technology's Female Leaders · · Score: 1

    Former CFO of Lehman Brothers is now crying over the loss of her marriage and lack of a family. Oh, boo hoo. Psychotic, the lot of them.

  11. Re:Apple is over on Apple Bringing Second Lawsuit To Samsung, Won't Wait For Appeal · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Yes, here in the US we're saddled with crappy carriers and huge early termination fees if we try to switch when we get fed up with their craptastic service. And tethering is a separate charge. And, and, and ... but moving to another country just to get better cell service isn't a reasonable solution. We need pitch forks and torches.

    Termination fees? What's that? Oh, yeah, the fees you agreed to, to get that great rate on the phone. Now that the bloom is off the phone, you want out. Sorry, NO sympathy.

    The rest, I agree with.

  12. Re:Why the online restriction...?? on SimCity 5: How Not To Design a Single Player Game · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    And Greed is good.

    Their greed for max profits. Your greed for min cash outlay. A balance will be reached. It appears that your price point lies outside of a larger group that is willing to pay the amount EA demands.

    Now, go an try real sex with a real woman. Beats SIM Sex every day.

  13. Re:EA at it again on SimCity 5: How Not To Design a Single Player Game · · Score: 1

    Ummm... Why?

    The developed it and they can do whatever they want with it. I just won't buy it. But why do you think its okay to take money away from them that is not part of the purchase transaction?

  14. Re:Jealousy on Swiss Referendum Backs Executive Pay Curbs · · Score: 1

    Really, dude? TMI. Seriously. I was half expecting to see naughty pictures of the wife. But then again, cool that you've got the balls to do that. I don't.

  15. Re:Jealousy on Swiss Referendum Backs Executive Pay Curbs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As a shareholder of a given company, I have, or should have, the right to squeeze you by the balls as I take the money BACK out of your pocket and return it to the us, the owners of the company.

    And I could give a rat's ass about moral superiority. You go do whatever your little heart desires, but keep your hands off of my money.

  16. Re:Global Warming is there anything it cannot do? on NOAA Report: World Labor Capacity Dropping Because of Increased Temperatures · · Score: 2

    I bet it can't core a apple.

    What do you expect from a lame, dumbass AC? Even if it weren't in a dictionnary, it's what all the kids say.

  20. Re:Just lock em out... on SSH Password Gropers Are Now Trying High Ports · · Score: 1

    How so? You lock up an account after a few password failures. Why would it matter where the attempt is made. They'd have to try getting in with other accounts.

  21. Re:Crowdfunding? on French Police Unsure Which Twin To Charge In Sexual Assaults · · Score: 2

    I'd donate money to get an innocent man exonerated.

  22. Re:But there are so many fake accounts. on Facebook Can Keep Real Name Policy, German Court Rules · · Score: 3, Funny

    Heh. No kidding. I have six accounts, all with real names. None of them mine.

  23. Re:Schadenfreude on Brazilians Can Now Buy an "iPhone" Loaded With Android · · Score: 1

    Third World means only one thing; it is not aligned with the Western ( pro-US ) or Communist ( pro-USSR ). It has nothing to do with the level of economic prosperity a country enjoys. Now that the USSR is in deep hibernation, the term has lost a lot of its value, but it does not equate with poverty.

  24. Time travel on Ask Slashdot: What Features Belong In a 'Smartwatch'? · · Score: 1

    So when I look down at my watch and realize I am late, I can set it back a few minutes. Or if I am stuck in a meeting, I can set it ahead a few minutes.

  25. Wait. You get paid? on Ask Slashdot: Making Side-Money As a Programmer? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I am doing this all wrong.
