  1. Re:Simple answer: on DC Revolving Door: Ex-FCC Commissioner Is Now Head CTIA Lobbyist · · Score: 1

    He doesn't sound much like a libertarian. More like a Republican trying to look cool.

  2. Re:Misunderstanding Peering Agreements on Netflix Gets What It Pays For: Comcast Streaming Speeds Skyrocket · · Score: 3

    Umm, I pay Comcast to delivery content to me. If I want to stream video from a content provider, that's my decision. I make the request, not the content provider. The request for data is coming from Comcast's customer, not the content provider.

    If Comcast is losing money because of the requests that I make, then they need to change their pricing structure with me, not blackmail the content provider.

  3. Re:If you can learn to put a beer down while drivi on The Case For a Safer Smartphone · · Score: -1, Redundant

    We need enforcement of current laws. I have never, never, seen anyone pulled over for talking or texting on the phone. Let alone charged for it.

    And if we're talking about context-sensitive devices, how about a car that extends a 4" spike from the steering wheel every time it sense you fscking around with your phone.

  4. Re:Ingrediants on Asia's Richest Man Is Betting Big On Silicon Valley's Fake Eggs · · Score: 1

    Canola was created using traditional cross-breeding techniques. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... That this idiot with a blog doesn't know the difference between that and genetically modified organisms probably shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

    That a Slashdot reader doesn't know the difference is just plain disappointing. (I must be new here etc.)

  5. Paging Mr Fermat... on A Mathematical Proof Too Long To Check · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have discovered a truly marvellous proof of this, which this DVD is too small to contain.

  6. Re:"Poster child of privacy invasion" hyperbole on Epic: A Privacy-Focused Web Browser · · Score: 1

    Google is very upfront about what is collected and what they do with it

    Except when that collection and disclosure is requested via a national security letter.

  7. Re:Math impairment on Open-Source Python Code Shows Lowest Defect Density · · Score: 0

    Out of curiosity, what do you use for C/C++ unit testing?

  8. Re:I know nothing on Utah Set To Exempt NSA Datacenter From Power Tax, After All · · Score: 3, Funny

    They may also have received the email, but now can't find it.

  9. Re:IANAL: DMCA and Trademark Infringement on GoPro Issues DMCA Takedown Over Negative Review · · Score: 1

    So GoPro are dicks, and the hosting company are idiots because they can't tell the difference between copyright and trademark.

    The hosting company needs to be outed. They clearly aren't very good.

  10. Re:Non-local government is a bad idea on Texas Attorney General Warns International Election Observers · · Score: 1

    Abbott got caught trying to purge minority voters from the voter rolls. He's probably got a few more tricks up his sleeve that he doesn't want people to find out about:

  11. Re:Some things I know - or have come to understand on Rapid Arctic Melt Called 'Planetary Emergency' · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yet not a one climate model (to my knowledge) takes into account the biggest heat source and the biggest driver of that heat source.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=climate+change+sun+spots

    First hit is:

    http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=sun-spots-and-climate-change

    most up-to-date climate models—including those used by the United Nations’ prestigious Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—incorporate the effects of the sun’s variable degree of brightness in their overall calculations.

    This wasn't difficult. Are you being willfully ignorant?

  12. Re:And that's why he's wrong on Debate Over Evolution Will Soon Be History, Says Leakey · · Score: 1

    Funny you should say that: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18159752

  13. Re:This is one area we've regressed. on FBI Wants To "Advance the Science of Interrogation" · · Score: 1

    Army Intelligence personnel were photographed engaging in the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib along with the grunts that were convicted. Those officers have never been identified or charged. Probably because they were also following orders, but had the good sense to get those orders in writing.

    Here's your citation. Can you name the personnel in the photograph?

  14. Re:Accent fail on Why Are Fantasy World Accents British? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think that's because an Irish accent is the only one that Colin Farrell can do. So they had all the other actors match him so that he didn't seem out of place.

  15. Re:Assholes on every flight on Pay the TSA $100 and Bypass Airport Security · · Score: 4, Informative

    In the event of an emergency your bag would be an obstacle to other passengers exiting the plane. There are reasons that such rules are in place.

  16. Re:Nope.avi on RIAA CEO Hopes SOPA Protests Were a "One-Time Thing" · · Score: 1

    I just took a look at the video of the beating and see multiple hits to his torso and possibly his head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGKRSQCvBfM Given the pictures of him after the beating I think it's obvious his head was struck several times. Unless he fell down the stairs at the police station, of course.

    Can you point us to your publicly-accessible evaluations?

    To be honest, an insider attack can just as easily be carried out with a large hammer.

  23. Steve Balmer on Microsoft Patent Deems Comic Books Shameful · · Score: 2

    By day he's mild-mannered executive Steve Balmer, but at night he dons his monkey suit and becomes CHAIR MAN! Promising to "f--ing bury that guy" (he's done it before), he guards the streets of Redmond from free software.

  24. Re:err, myself excluded, obviously... on Court Rules Dungeons and Dragons Threatens Prison Security · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see mandatory alcohol testing before legislation is voted on.

    Sadly that isn't the case. Their kids become petri dishes for the viruses to grow and mutate in. Eventually, a virus that could have been prevented with a vaccine, has now evolved into one that can't.
