  1. Ads in Videos on SJVN Tells How Reporting on Linux Has Changed in the Last 10 Years (Video) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If a stream starts with an Ad first, it's killed without being watched. End of story. The only thing worse are those web articles presented in "slideshow" format to maximize ad revenue.

  2. Re:Who is threatning who? on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 1

    Citing older references isn't helping your case. The DNI's Congressional testimony regarding Iran was given January 31 this year. Furthermore, the link you cited doesn't support your implication anyway--it clearly says there hasn't been any supporting evidence of active development since 2003, only a suggestion that Iran MAY have continued a lower level of research since.

  3. Re:Who is threatning who? on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 3, Informative

    Except there's a problem with your statement--there is zero evidence that Iran is actively developing nuclear weapons. Even the US Director of National Intelligence has acknowledged this fact in his testimony before Congress. The "crazy" and "irrational" hyperbole that keeps creeping up in anti-Iran rhetoric only serves the interests of the hawks who want war.

  4. uh.... on TomTom Satnavs To Set Insurance Prices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So if say, some idiot pulls out in front of you and you swerve or stop quickly, your insurance company will consider you a bad driver?

  5. Re:Just an idea... on Why the Raspberry Pi Won't Ship In Kit Form · · Score: 1

    Fret not, there's surely a flood of Facebook IPO stories coming down the pipe as we speak.

  6. Not surprising.. on Railroad Association Says TSA's Hacking Memo Was Wrong · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So that's the second false "cyberattack" in so many months..

  7. Sounds awfully simliar to... on Hackers Manipulated Railway Computers, TSA Memo Says · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...the well-publicized "attack" on an Illinois water system by Russian Hackers that, unsurprisingly, never actually happened.

  8. Re:TV ain't broken? on TV Isn't Broken, So Why Fix It? · · Score: 1

    Pft, you kids and your instant-on solid state TVs. Real men don't mind waiting for the tubes to warm up.

  9. Re:What next? on Toronto School Bans Hard Balls · · Score: 1

    Wait, so early-20th century never actually had lead in the "lead," but they were coated in lead paint? Amazing...

  10. Re:bankruptcy on student debt on Student Loans In America: the Next Big Credit Bubble · · Score: 1

    Certainly, but it's no "get out of debt free" card, as the previous poster seems to be implying.

  11. Re:bankruptcy on student debt on Student Loans In America: the Next Big Credit Bubble · · Score: 1

    Indeed, it's not like bankruptcy affects your ability to secure credit, right?

  12. Re:Should Have Been a Property Developer on Student Loans In America: the Next Big Credit Bubble · · Score: 2

    Assuming you actually graduate.

  13. Re:I'd buy a USRP2 receiver on Security Researchers Crack APCO P25 Encryption · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...because anyone that wants to be able to monitor their public servants is obviously a hardened criminal.

  14. I'd have more to say about this, but.. on The Case For Surrealism In Games · · Score: 1

    ...I need to get back to TF2 so I can finish crafting this Cow Mangler 5000 already.

  15. Re:Not everything is encrypted on Feds' Radios Have Significant Security Flaws · · Score: 1

    you can buy a "dubiously legal" P25 scanner at any Radio Shack or Amazon... P25 is an open standard.

  16. Aluminum eh? on The End of the Gas Guzzler · · Score: 1

    Just what I need, something else to worry about.... like scrap thieves running off with my fenders.

  17. Re:No, that's a job for the police! on Yet Another "People Plug In Strange USB Sticks" Story · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Obvious bullshit story is obvious.
