  1. Re:It might be an unpopular opinion... on Ask Slashdot: What Does Edward Snowden Deserve? · · Score: 1

    Medal of Freedom, FTFY,,, ;-D

  2. Good God! Great shades of SkyNet on Robots Test Their Own World Wide Web · · Score: 2

    This and 3D printing are all the mechanical devils need to replicate and take over. Our goose is cooked!!!

  3. Re:huh? on 4K Is For Programmers · · Score: 1

    Too bad, if I had mod points, I'd mod you up for that. ;-D

  4. I wonder if they are going to put methane detectors in the seat cushions? ...and smoke detectors???

  5. Re:Steganography ( Score: +14, PatRIOTic ) on Swarms of Small Satellites Set To Deliver Close To Real-Time Imagery of Earth · · Score: 1

    No, NASA = ANASS -- FTFY,,,

  6. Well said, thank you. I might add that this extends very much to the "civilian" police forces as well. They are waaaaay over trained with the first conditioned respone being deadly force. Shoot first and make up shit later...

  7. Re:The unexpected hazard... on US Customs Destroys Virtuoso's Flutes Because They Were "Agricultural Items" · · Score: 1

    i remember in '66 when Star Trek first came out and my best friend was the only one in the neighborhood rich enough to own a color tv. All the kids would gather at their house entranced by the amazing sci-fi stories rendered in glorious colors. It was a great time to be a kid, walking to and from school every day, stopping by the creek to watch the tadpoles growing up, sleeping with all the windows and doors open. Yup, Ima geezer!!!

  8. Not just journalism on The Rise of Hoax News · · Score: 1

    This is evident in more than journalism. It is evident everywhere. Quite simply, we cannot rule ourselves which in this case means throttling back to a point where we can cope with the deluge of stimulus that technology has pressed upon us. As far as I can tell, the quality of goods and services across the board has gone down. Of course I'm looking at it from the bottom of the dung pile, so I expect for the time being, the elites are still getting some pretty good stuff. The WalMart crowd is getting stuff that used to go only to third world countries. Remember this: The only advantage the elites have is that they will be the last to starve.

  9. MIKKO, UDABES! on F-Secure's Mikko Hypponen Cancels RSA Talk In Protest · · Score: 1

    THANK YOU MIKKO! After 9-11, the U.S. interdiction efforts quickly morphed from international terrorism to internations and domestic terrorism with equal emphasis placed on both. IMHO, the U.S. Govt is currently more concerned about domestic terrorism than about foreign operatives. Sorry Mikko, you are wrong on that count.

  10. Re:Cyanogenmod, on Cyanogen Mod Raises $23 Million Funding All Set To Become Major Android Player · · Score: 1

    So they find some way to Scroogle it... Where there's a will, there's a way. Google has a lot of customers in the developer world, but I'm guessing they don't have that many friends.

  11. It's the tommyknockers on Enormous Tunneling Machine 'Bertha' Blocked By 'The Object' · · Score: 1

    Seattle is about to go nuts...

  12. Re:Not the only state with this law on Driver Arrested In Ohio For Secret Car Compartment Full of Nothing · · Score: 1

    "Land of the free home of the brave has become land of decree and home of the slave." This isn''t mine. It belongs to a poster named Joe at thetruthaboutguns.com. So, thanks Joe

  13. Re:Debian?? on MATE To Make It Into Debian Repositories · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think the peak for Ubuntu and Gnome 2 was 10.04 LTS. It was a sad day when that expired. OBTW: I'm now happily churning the LTS version of Mint Mate. Happy days, I can still get some work done...

  14. The real reason for Galileo on Galileo Navigation System Gets Go-Ahead From EU Parliament · · Score: 2

    Simply put, they don't trust us enough to use our system...and are willing to spend billions of Euros to prove it. Perhaps, maybe the GPS constellation should become a UN protectorate and no nation should be able to weaponize it... Just sayin'

  15. Re:They are right. on Boston Cops Outraged Over Plans to Watch Their Movements Using GPS · · Score: 1

    [Frankly, i think I would rather they are off in the back of some parking lot, parked cruisers window to window]

    That's called 69ing...

  16. Re:Liberty is the only thing in danger here. on Sen. Chuck Schumer Seeks To Extend Ban On 'Undetectable' 3D-Printed Guns · · Score: 1

    They do have another solution. Without ammunition, a gun is a very expensive stick.

  17. Re:Horse, Stable, Bolted on SourceForge Appeals To Readers For Help Nixing Bad Ad Actors · · Score: 1

    No, no. The only thing worse than a Republican is a Democrat... and the only thing scarier than a bureaucrat with a gun is a bureaucrat in a robe.

  18. Re:Control... on Where Does America's Fear Come From? · · Score: 1

    Hey, I've eaten a few vegetarians in my life. They taste just fine...

  19. Re:Probably a downmod coming but.. on Experian Sold Social Security Numbers To ID Theft Service · · Score: 1

    I'd vote for hanging all of them...and their brother and sister too. Let God sort them out...

  20. Re:Oort cloud? on Linking Mass Extinctions To the Sun's Journey In the Milky Way · · Score: 1

    Well then, barred spirals must have mis-behaved in some way...

  21. Re:More importantly on Why Are Some Hell-Bent On Teaching Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, we are the only creatures on the planet that require the use of toilet paper. Yup, he did a number on us..., or did we come down from the trees and have to stand up to see the lions in the grasslands???

  22. Re:WTF??? on AT&T Maintains Call Database For the DEA Going Back To 1987 · · Score: 1

    What? Just because some D.E.A. Nimrod shows up with crap from a warrant mill in the basement of some D.C. government office building we should all just bend over. Go ahead, tell me that we don't have judges that rubber stamp piles of paper every day...

  23. Re:Let's see... on Ask Slashdot: Good Ideas For Creative Gaming With Girlfriend? · · Score: 1

    Yup, like your "dream home", complete with vaulted ceilings and skylights. Find a nice place on the beach and git to whackin'.

  24. Re:Metro UI on Microsoft Stock Drops 11% In a Day · · Score: 1

    Did metro learn this from unity or did unity learn this from metro? OBTW: I will note here that M$s customer base demographics are heavily weighted toward two of the three members of the evil trinity. i.e. Big Business and Big Government. The Big Media weenies tend toward iThis and iThat. Without the bump from these two monsters, M$ would be in whirling toilet water.

  25. Re:Loud and clear on Whistleblowing IT Director Fired By FL State Attorney · · Score: 1

    Well, let's see: Federal, State, Local...in the immortal words of Morpheus, "You all look the same to me."
