  1. Re:Of course on US Asserts Super-Jurisdiction Over Dot-Com, Dot-Net, and Dot-Org Domains · · Score: 1

    Go ahead. No one is stopping you.

  2. Re:Of course on US Asserts Super-Jurisdiction Over Dot-Com, Dot-Net, and Dot-Org Domains · · Score: 1

    I am in the US and google.com doesn't redirect anywhere. Your own logic proves that .com is a US tld.

  3. Re:more laws on Smartphones More Dangerous Than Alcohol, When Driving · · Score: 2

    Well, technically either there is a right to drive or the states have co-opted the granting of that right for themselves. As drivers licenses have never been ruled unconstitutional, I guess it's the latter. But the absence of such a right in the U.S. Constitution actually implies that it might be a right, not that it isn't one!

  4. Re:People underestimate the power of the organic. on New Interface Could Wire Prosthetics Directly Into Amputees' Nervous Systems · · Score: 1

    5 complete non sequiturs. The thrust of the article is in helping amputees.

  5. Re:But did data get out? on Hackers Nab Unreleased Michael Jackson Tracks From Sony · · Score: 3, Funny

    All my servers are landlocked. Unless the data center gets flooded.

  6. Re:Doesn't matter on Sony Ditching Cell Architecture For Next PlayStation? · · Score: 1

    That's just too bad. Sony could have stopped production of PS3's completely. That they produce a product with most of the same capabilities and the same name is immaterial.

  7. Re:Doesn't matter on Sony Ditching Cell Architecture For Next PlayStation? · · Score: 1

    That's a baseless argument. Sony could have stopped production of the PS3 altogether, at any time. Unless the University has a contract which guarantees replacement parts, they are out of luck no matter what. That's just the way it is when you build a cluster out of non-commodity parts.

  8. Re:It's all a problem on US Shuts Down Canadian Gambling Site With Verisign's Help · · Score: 2

    Nothing. The .ca servers are not in US control. I suppose the US could exert political pressure, but that's it.

  9. Re:Difference to now? on Eric Schmidt: UN Treaty a 'Disaster' For the Internet · · Score: 2

    This doesn't even make sense. What is the "Internet" that should be in UN hands? IP allocations? DNS roots? RFC process? Well-known port allocations? It seems, from most posts, that DNS is the target. If so, let the UN go ahead and create its own hierarchy and administer it. No one will stop them! Or are you also suggesting that the World be forced to use UN DNS servers over the existing collection?

  10. Re:Everybody wants to rule the Internet on Eric Schmidt: UN Treaty a 'Disaster' For the Internet · · Score: 1

    I know this will shock you, so please sit before reading the rest of this post.

    There is NOTHING stopping you from setting up a DNS root and running your own DNS system. Go ahead and do it. I don't care. No one else here cares. In fact, not a single person in the World cares. The US won't stop you. They won't even try. Hell, they won't even notice!

  11. Re:End User, as in End User License Agreement on Microsoft Launches Windows 8 Consumer Preview · · Score: 2

    Because "End User" is just as ambiguous in this context as customer.

  13. Re:Real world microkernels? on MINIX 3.2 Released With Some Major Changes · · Score: 1

    Linux is pure macrokernel, in the sense that it isn't even slightly micro-kernelish. Of course, FUSE might confuse the issue a little bit. I am not sure where such facilities fall on the macro/microkernel debate.

  14. Re:YES!!!!! on Candidates Sued By Patent Troll For Using Facebook · · Score: 1

    RightHaven wasn't a patent troll.

    God. Sometime slashdotters are so ignorant it's really sad.

  16. Re:Released Today? on PSVita Released In the USA and Europe · · Score: 2

    That is irrelevant. Seriously, the lack of basic, simple logic on this site is comically tragic.

    Simple thought experiment: What if Sony went out of business without manufacturing a gazillion PSPs as replacements for current PSP owners until the end of time?

  17. Re:Sony lost me when... on PSVita Released In the USA and Europe · · Score: 4, Informative

    You are a moron. Sony has not, by this decision, affected your finances in any way. Lost opportunity is not the same as theft! They never hinted that you would have the ability to play PSP games on anything other than a PSP. They never promised or implied that the PSP would be manufactured indefinitely.

    Choosing something else when your PSP gives up the ghost is rational, but your reasons are anything but.

  18. Re:Diversity in systems on Tech Billionaire-Backed Charter School Under Fire In Chicago · · Score: 2

    I think that some of the infractions are rather silly and over the top, but your hyperbole is unwarranted.

    What the rest of the world does or does not earn in a day has absolutely no bearing on fines in a US school. Zero. Zilch, Nada.

    Saying that some exist in America (too) is at least hitting closer to home, but also has no bearing here. The school is an optional alternative to public schools. If the parents cannot afford their children's fines, they may always move them (back) to the "free" public schools.

    You are pretty close to 100% wrong, mostly for being an idiot. Where exactly do you get the idea that current farming practices can't feed the world?

    If you consider anything that cannot be proven to be a lie, then truth must only exist in mathematics. And even in mathematics, all proofs are based on lies (axioms and definitions).

    Judaism has far more man-made laws than Divine(ly inspired) laws. I have no idea where you got your "education" from, but it is sorely lacking in little things. Like facts.

    According to most mainstream Christian sects, Christians do not worship the same God as any other religion.

    Wow. Even the smallest bit of critical thinking can puzzle out the connection.

    Abortionists (as in, those who have abortions) are killing their children without consulting the child. Similarly, anti-vaxxers are putting their children at risk without consulting the children. Very simple connection.

    Apple is not a patent troll. Unless you can point out a patent they are suing over which they themselves have no product for.
