  1. Re:Totallly reasonable ruling on Federal Court: Theft of Medical Records Not an 'Imminent Danger' To Victim · · Score: 2

    "Imminent threat"

    That sounds soooooo familiar... I just can't place it...

  2. Re:if you run a VPN, they can't do shit on AT&T Patents System To "Fast-Lane" File-Sharing Traffic · · Score: 2

    Among other reasons, this article here.

    Clearly they are monitoring this activity already, all they need to do is hit the "Give me random person from list of thousands" button and you're fucked.

  4. Re:I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did on Jon Stewart Leaving 'The Daily Show' · · Score: 2

    Nope, still, and always was, that guy college kids watch.

  5. Re:The Canadian arm of the business is stil operat on Radioshack Declares Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    I imagine because it costs more for Amazon to ship across borders, thus not stealing so much of the market share.

    I do not know what The Source (They really called it that?) actually sells, but if it's the same as RS, then I bet they are looking at this with caution.

  6. Re:Then there was War Plan Red on Plan C: The Cold War Plan Which Would Have Brought the US Under Martial Law · · Score: 1

    This is a prime example of why I went to school for history. It's filled with good laughs like this.

  7. Re:life in the U.S. on Verizon, Cable Lobby Oppose Spec-Bump For Broadband Definition · · Score: 1

    Solution: Move your residence.

  8. Physics 101? on Scientists Slow the Speed of Light · · Score: 0, Troll

    Umm... This sounds like Physcis 101... Something traveling through a medium vs a vacuum will always be slower was one of the first lessons I learned

  9. Re:Physics doesn't work like that. on TWEETHER Project Promises 10Gbps MmW 92-95GHz Based Wireless Broadband · · Score: 1

    Then I should be able to flip this and say that, if and when I am able to reduce my "body frequency" I can walk through walls

  10. Correct me if I'm wrong, please, I don't mind.

    That being said, I was under the impression that - yes there are some laws/ordinances prohibiting (or outright banning) municipal broadband from happening - it was COST and MAINTENANCE of the actual infrastructure that was stopping these communities.

  11. No. on Obama: Gov't Shouldn't Be Hampered By Encrypted Communications · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Never.

  12. Re:Fix slashdot! on SpaceX Landing Attempt Video Released · · Score: 2

    Only when my disable ads checkbox isnt checked

  13. Re:ATI/AMD has had shitty drivers for 20 years on AMD Catalyst Is the Broken Wheel For Linux Gaming · · Score: 2

    byte.com -> http://www.informationweek.com... -> 404...

    Such a shame

  14. Re:Fix slashdot! on SpaceX Landing Attempt Video Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's all these damn ads they've added.

    I swear every other week I find a new ad bar, or some ad has moved and margins are all fucked.

    Atleast they keep it interesting...

  15. The new XP on Microsoft Ends Mainstream Support For Windows 7 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... Win7 = WinXP in corporate world now

  16. Re:Earth not _turning_ slower, but already is slow on Extra Leap Second To Be Added To Clocks On June 30 · · Score: 2

    This post right here is why we need a "Post Inaccurate" option for modding.

    " but something similar to Daedelus, for instance, would suffice"

    Not sure what you intended on referencing, but Stargate! Woo!

  18. Re: requires root access and will only run on Qual on New App Detects Government Stingray Cell Phone Trackers · · Score: 1

    I recently purchased and starting playing with the one plus one. It's easily rooted (this is my first non-apple mobile phone) and I've already have many apps that track tower ID's, but...

    For someone like myself who doesn't travel all that often, I look at these apps every now and then to remember where my towers are. This is so that when I do need to do something I want private, I can simply recall if the tower I'm connected to is what I remember.

    Not hard to do

  19. Your power level! on Texas Instruments Builds New Energy Technology For the Internet of Things · · Score: 1

    Your power level is draining with every hit!

    This fight is over .... Freeza?

  20. Re:triggering below percentage is dumb on Windows 10 Adds Battery Saver Feature · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ^ This.

    So this. 100x this.

    The logic behind all these battery savers is ridiculous.

    "Your battery is now at 20%" - Let me warning you every 5 minutes that it's low, consuming even MORE battery. Once is enough, thanks.
    "Your battery is now at 10%" - Let me tell all applications about this so they can all send their data to the "cloud" all at once, draining it EVEN FURTHER!
    "Your battery is now at ... " - Phone turned off due to too many bells and whistles about your battery being low!

  21. Oh I've seen this before... on Study: HIV Becoming Less Deadly, Less Infectious · · Score: 2

    Just went on a family vacation where my little brothers were playing a game on their iDevices.

    The game - not giving it any specific advertisement - revolves around you "building" a disease meant to kill everyone on Earth. It gives you 3 categories on how the disease is perceived; Infectivity, Severity, and Lethality.

    As Severity increases, the world becomes aware of the disease, the higher the severity the greater the focus the world has on finding a cure. So to combat this, you "devolve" traits that increase severity until the world doesn't care anymore or cares less than you want it to so infection continues.

    Keeping on this fine line of severity until everyone in the world is infected, and then you "evolve" traits that kills everyone within minutes, winning you the game.

    It seems HIV is taking a page out this games strategy book and sayin "Hey! Don't look at me, I won't kill you for another 20 years! Look at that guy over there first! (heuheuheuheu)".

  22. And yet... on Coal Plants Get New Lease On Life With Natural Gas · · Score: 1

    And yet there are news stories all over the place about how BECAUSE OF the mass switch to natural gas, my electricity bill is going up double digits...
