  1. Re:Arrested for knowledge? WTF? - *No for intent* on Man Who Downloaded Bomb Recipes Jailed For 2 Years · · Score: 1

    I don't believe that he was quite past the fantasy stage yet, but the heart of the matter is just that; how do you define what constitutes past the fantasy stage?

  2. Re:Coffee shop? on Ask Slashdot: Choosing Anonymous Proxies? · · Score: 1

    Pawn Shop laptop at a McDonalds. Only way to go.

  3. Re:I do not trust Anonymous proxies. on Ask Slashdot: Choosing Anonymous Proxies? · · Score: 2

    huh?

  4. Re:And yet... on Former Dell Execs Involved In Massive Insider Trading Probe · · Score: 2

    The "new version" has been in play since last year. Good luck trying to rally anyone to fight on the side of child pornographers.

  5. Re:How do you determine healthy food? on IBM Granted Your-Paychecks-Are-What-You-Eat Patent · · Score: 1

    I don't know, what part of your engine eats itself when your gasoline runs dry? When was the last time you had your blood changed (every three thousand miles!)?
    I mean really? Comparing pressured explosions to the human body? A hydrogen exchange is a little closer and it's still way off.

  6. Re:How do you determine healthy food? on IBM Granted Your-Paychecks-Are-What-You-Eat Patent · · Score: 1

    And you believe that? Millions of years of evolution, yet our bodies require the carbs we only learned to refine out of grain in the last ten thousand years? You are incorrect about the lack of vitamins and minerals in fats and proteins, but nonetheless adequate vegetable servings would easily make up for the lack of whatever is you think is only in grains.

  7. Re:How do you determine healthy food? on IBM Granted Your-Paychecks-Are-What-You-Eat Patent · · Score: 1

    Fats and Protein aren't bad for you. That's 90% of your bodies makeup, how could it be bad? What part of your body is sugar and carbs?

  8. Re:I don't want blocked ads. on Adblock Plus Developers To Allow 'Acceptable' Ads · · Score: 1

    This also assumes that there are reliable metrics applied to advertisements. As I understand it, the current practice is to throw money everywhere and "see what sticks."

  9. Re:I don't want blocked ads. on Adblock Plus Developers To Allow 'Acceptable' Ads · · Score: 1

    This would only be a problem if there was a possibility of me ever clicking or even looking at the ad. Since I never do, my habits would go unchanged.

  10. Was that acronym made by an IE user? on Internet Explorer Users Have Low Risk Intelligence · · Score: 1

    IQ = Intelligence Quotient

    RQ = Risk Quotient

  11. I don't want blocked ads. on Adblock Plus Developers To Allow 'Acceptable' Ads · · Score: 1

    I'm fine with people getting revenue for their ads. I just don't want to see them. All I want is a simple ad hiding extension, something that will suppress the viewing and hearing of the ad. Is that too much to ask for?

  12. Re:Sunglasses on Making a Privacy Monitor From an Old LCD · · Score: 1

    I have a pair of those and it makes it tough to watch videos on my phone in landscape mode.

  13. Re:Not just meth on 88-Year-Old Inventor Hassled By the DEA · · Score: 1

    It's true! Mario told me so!

  14. Re:The final clause in all privacy policies on Borders Bust Means B&N May Get Your Shopping History · · Score: 1

    B&N is doing nothing wrong here.

    They may not be doing something illegal, but make no bones about it; it IS wrong.

  15. Stupid internet on Panda Poo Yields Key To Cheaper Biofuels · · Score: 1

    I've been so desensitized by the internet that I assumed panda poo was a username.

  16. Fight them. on Atari Targets Retro Community With Cease & Desist · · Score: 1

    They can't steal atari2600.org just because they feel like it's theirs. Make them take it to arbitration, they have no case.

  17. I wonder what it felt like on Space Station To Be Deorbited After 2020 · · Score: 1

    Did the dark ages start like this? A slow decline in critical thinking combined with a pooling of power within a minority?

  18. Re:Tax dollars on Share Links, Become Extradited To the US · · Score: 1

    I wonder if some in the government are pushing for these stringent measures because they think it will save the country.

    No.

  19. Double statndard: on Geocaching Shuts Down British Town · · Score: 1

    Many geocachers will be thinking twice when planting their treasure

    Unfortunately no one will be thinking twice before re-enacting their own version of chicken little and calling the police for every little thing.

  20. I'm not a huge gamer, but on Games for Windows Marketplace Merging With Xbox.com · · Score: 1

    I had no idea Gamesforwindows.com was even a place...

  21. non-hallucinogenic LSD analog? on LSD Alleviates 'Suicide Headaches' · · Score: 1

    What are the other side effects of LSD, besides that?

  22. Re:Cue the Inevitable threads... on Eight Major 3G & 4G Networks Tested Nationwide · · Score: 1

    This is bunk because my city (Denver, CO) was skipped entirely.

  23. Re:Its not a benefit to the economy, its pure loss on Military Drone Attacks Are Not 'Hostile' · · Score: 1

    I call bullshit. Ten times more expensive? Why not just fire them into the dirt a day before they "expire"?

  24. Re:And My suggestion is.... on Xiph.org Comments For the FTC's Patents Workshop · · Score: 0

    That's an absurdly reductionist viewpoint.

  25. Simple solution: on FTC Okays Social Media Background Check Company · · Score: 1

    I always register my accounts in my Boss's name. Apparently he is into some pretty weird stuff...
