  1. Re:Where are the products ARM? on ARM, Intel Battle Heats Up · · Score: 1

    Give it another year. With Windows 8 for ARM systems it's inevitable that we'll see more powerful devices spill into the low-power segment between tablet transformers and netbooks/subnotebooks.

  2. Re:Where are the products ARM? on ARM, Intel Battle Heats Up · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The only Intel consumer product ARM licensees are currently able to threaten is the Atom product line. Apart from that, both kinds of CPUs are simply serving two completely different purposes.

  3. Re:Which directive? on 'First Base' In Greek Courts For ISP-Level Blocking · · Score: 1

    Because that's just one of several.
    Basically, because several governments couldn't establish stuff like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zugangserschwerungsgesetz on a national level under the guise of terrorists/drugs/aliens/ponies/kiddie porn they're now using the the EU level to push through directives like above, active participation in ACTA/TRIPS or they just take a chance and simply enact bullshit taken straight from this week's MAFIAA newsletter (e.g. Spain).

  9. Re:On Wednesday, the European Commission published on European e-ID Announced · · Score: 1

    As much as I disagree with some of the man's decisions, Reagan once summed it up quite nicely:
    "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"

  11. Bummer on Navy To Auction Stealth Ship · · Score: 1

    Too bad she's so slow, otherwise the US Coast Guard might have found a use for her.

  12. Re:In California ?!?! on Mad Cow Disease Confirmed In California · · Score: 5, Funny

    The infection attacks the brain. It's been decades since one of those was anywhere near D.C.

  13. Re:This is true. on One In Five Macs Holds Malware — For Windows · · Score: 3, Funny

    If even Norton picked up 120 infections imagine what a real scanner would've found.

  14. Re:Send the MPAA on Iranian Military Says It's Copying US Drone · · Score: 2

    I wouldn't put any money on Iran, yet.
    Even the guys in the Iranian government aren't as fucking crazy as that bunch.

    Sure that's not their way to check for faulty Intel CPUs? ;)

  18. Inevitable result on California Judge Denies Discovery In Bittorrent Case · · Score: 1

    It was only a matter of time until a judge became too fed up with these fishing expeditions.

  19. Re:How did this happen? on EFF Files Brief To Allow Users Access To Their MegaUpload Files · · Score: 1

    Unlike Ford and GM the Megaupload guys didn't shove truckloads of money up politicians' asses.

  20. Re:when will we ever learn on Why Onagawa Nuclear Power Station Survived the Tsunami · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Better safety measures to protect their million/billion dollar assets are very much in their interest.

  21. Re:The Most Secure Mobile OS on Ask Slashdot: Most Secure Mobile OS? · · Score: 1

    Most stuff is somewhat safer due to its origins and decisions shaped by those origins, but it's certainly not 100% safe either.
