  1. Exceptions? on Rand Paul Launches a Filibuster Against Drone Strikes On US Soil · · Score: 1

    Well. If drones are good enough to attack Afghans, why should there be an exception for americans? Also " the lack of definition over who can be targeted by drone strikes" wasn't a problem in Afghanistan.

    But really. If you replace "americans" and "afghans" by "people", why can drones be allowed to kill some people and not some other. Again, nationality is not the issue. The question is more about either the reason to use drones or even to use drones at all.

  2. Do you understand? on The Accidental Betrayal of Aaron Swartz · · Score: 1

    "anything you say CAN AND WILL be used against you (and others)"

    Obviously not.

  3. Boohoooooo on New Java 0-Day Vulnerability Being Exploited In the Wild · · Score: 1

    And how frelling dare anyone out there make fun of Java after all she's been though!
    Leave Java Alone!
    Please...

  4. It's the law on BigDog Robot Grabs, Lifts, and Throws Cinder Blocks With Its New Arm · · Score: 1

    Since there is no practical use in construction for a robot like this, we can probably say goodbye to the three laws.

  5. Oh please. on The Patents That Threaten 3-D Printing · · Score: 1

    Everybody knows patents are good for... Awkward. Can't remember.

  6. Re:Disgusting on Billionaires Secretly Fund Vast Climate Denial Network · · Score: 2

    There is a difference between explaining politicians what you want and under cover operations to buy influence.

    For instance, finding out Yanks "lobby" for SOPA shit in Europe...

  7. Re:Uhm... on NetBSD To Support Kernel Development In Lua Scripting · · Score: 1

    Indeed. What is wrong with java script?

  8. Re:It's not Ethical at all... on Dutch MP Fined For Ethical Hacking · · Score: 1

    Iraq. Didn't even have owners permission to test security. Criminal, Unethical. Should be jailed. Both.
    I wouldn't call them jerks. I'd rather stick to the facts.

  9. Re:It's not Ethical at all... on Dutch MP Fined For Ethical Hacking · · Score: 1

    Since you disagree with my examples, I'm curious what you would consider ethical.

  10. Re:It's not Ethical at all... on Dutch MP Fined For Ethical Hacking · · Score: 1

    An example: Watergate.
    Stealing and leaking documents: illegal, but definitely ethical.

  11. Re:It's not Ethical at all... on Dutch MP Fined For Ethical Hacking · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In my opinion if you report a system with confidential information to be insecure that would be ethical.
    If the owner of the system hired him, then it would have been his job. That's something different.

  12. Ethical? on Dutch MP Fined For Ethical Hacking · · Score: 0

    Exactly what part of using an overheard user name and password to access patient information is ethical?
    I nominate him for the Captain Obvious award for showing a valid user name and password combination gives access to a server.

  13. Re:Other problem on Corn Shortage Hampers US Ethanol Production · · Score: 1

    What is "receiving good money" worth when it means we ruin their eco system and they have to buy over priced food because they produce palm oil for us instead of rice for their children?

    It's worth a good night of sleep for us and it should matter to the buyers.

  14. Other problem on Corn Shortage Hampers US Ethanol Production · · Score: 1

    Oh, so now it's a problem.
    The fact that we the first world are plundering resources from poor countries.
    Corn here. Palm oil instead of food there.
    Time we start caring.

  15. Let's calculate on Online Ads Are More Dangerous Than Porn, Cisco Says · · Score: 1

    So. watching porn all year is just as dangerous as clicking two ads.

  16. Baah Zynga on Facebook To App Developers: Good Idea, Now Stop Using Our API · · Score: 1

    That's all I had to say.

  17. This is an insult on Lego Accused of Racism With Star Wars Set · · Score: 1

    An insult to Star Wars, Star Wars Mythology, and Star Wars Architecture.

    The mere suggestion that other buildings look like Jabba's Palace is ridiculous, because there is only one Jabba's Palace.
    "Look, we have a dome too". Pffff.

  18. Re:Hagia Sophia is a Church, not a Mosque on Lego Accused of Racism With Star Wars Set · · Score: 1

    It's neither. It's a museum / monument.

  19. Good idea on Facebook's Graph Search Is a Privacy Test For Internet Users · · Score: 1

    This will only speed up the development of that highly anticipated private encrypted decentralized social thing site concept idea

    If it still exists.

  20. Exaggerated on Ruby On Rails SQL Injection Flaw Has Serious Real-Life Consequences · · Score: 1

    This means that 16 million Dutch citizens cannot authenticate themselves anymore with government instances ON LINE, and that those same government instances can not DIGITALLY communicate anything to those same citizens anymore.

    So instead, you make a phone call?

  21. What kind of cources? on UC's For-Pay Online Course Draws 4 Non-UC Students · · Score: 1

    Probably
    - not economics,
    - not business plan 101,
    - not calculus,
    - not linear optimisation,
    - not common sense and
    - not "let's google if these courses can be found for free" either.

  24. Re:Asia-Pacific Strategy on What Debris From North Korea's Rocket Launch Shows · · Score: 1

    That sounds a lot more reasonable compared to the "there has to be an open ended excuse for a strike or an invasion to avoid that possibility" I responded to :)

  25. Re:Asia-Pacific Strategy on What Debris From North Korea's Rocket Launch Shows · · Score: 2

    The false assumption that the US should have control the Asian-Pacific region is just as correct as the one that Russia, China or Japan should have control over the N-American region.
