  1. Knock Knock Opportunity Here on Larry Sanger Tells FBI Wikipedia Distributes "Child Pornography" · · Score: 1

    So my question is, since even in his letter he leads off talking about his new projects he's working on showing what his true motives are (free publication), how long has he known and sat on it?

  2. Re:The obvious solution to ID Fraud on Why Lenders Overlook Warning Signs of ID Theft · · Score: 1

    The only thing wrong is that it's the banks playing field and they set the rules...

  3. Re:Sigh...not this shit again on iPad Jailbroken · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But you are wrong, when other people buy it I most certainly lose. In our society buying something is analogous to voting for it. The more people that vote for it the more pervasive it'll become in our society. If not enough people vote for it then it may make the manufacturer bring it back to the drawing board and wonder why.

  4. Re:Only Apple on iPad Jailbroken · · Score: 1

    I agree 100%. Car manufacturers tried the closed source route too and the courts had to tell them to open up their computer codes. If I give you money in exchange for something I don't expect to be able to tell you how to spend YOUR money.

  5. Re:Restraint of trade? on Federal Appeals Court Says Sex Offender's Computer Ban Unfair · · Score: 1

    The idea that you'd rather be in jail than live without a computer may only be insightful outside the slashdot crowd.

  6. Re:So, basically, Stop Brown People For Being Brow on US Changes How Air Travelers Are Screened · · Score: 1

    Timothy McVeigh
    Ku Klux Klan
    IRA
    The Sons of Liberty

    Only to name a few white terrorists. I'd actually guess that if counted white people have terrorized more than most others combined. Especially if you take into account that bombing civilian areas are a form of state sponsored terror ... which white people have been doing steadily for the past 60 years.

  7. Re:Good on Will Smith In For Independence Day 2 & 3 · · Score: 1

    Your just talking crazy now.

  8. Children on If ET Calls, Who Speaks For Humanity? · · Score: 1

    I'd have them speak to the children.

  9. I looked in a drop of ocean water on SETI Is 50 Years Old; No Sign of ET · · Score: 1

    I looked in a drop of ocean water and found no life. There must be no life in the ocean.

  10. Re:OpenGL on Valve Confirms Mac Versions of Steam, Valve Games · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've never had any trouble getting any Source games to run under linux, usually faster than then did under native windows.

  11. Yeah no surprise on Ubisoft's New DRM Cracked In One Day · · Score: 1

    This is not the first internet based anti-piracy tool circumvented. There have been plenty in the past.

  12. By any chance on Typical Windows User Patches Every 5 Days · · Score: 1

    Secunia doesn't provide software for vulnerability management do they? Why look they do! How ironic!

    White papers, are rarely white.

  13. G.R.O.S.S. on "Calvin and Hobbes" Creator Bill Watterson Looks Back With No Regrets · · Score: 1

    Get Rid Of Stupid trollS

  14. Stolen on Russian Stealth Fighter Makes Its First Flight · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it relates to this: http://archive.newsmax.com/articles/?a=2000/10/30/223902 Can't find a better source

  15. Re:Well, that's one way to get the space race movi on Uranus and Neptune May Have "Oceans of Diamonds" · · Score: 1

    And, unlike natural diamonds, man-made diamonds are perfect. Which of course De Beers turns into a positive marketing spin.

    Also many less children DIE from harvesting mad-made diamonds.

  16. Umm on Crazy Firewall Log Activity — What Does It Mean? · · Score: 1

    So why is he using State property for personal gain? My guess is his logs for his website were way too boring.

    Shouldn't there be some agency in Florida who does not want their logs posted, even in cartoon format, in an internet video. I'm guessing this is probably either the Florida Dept. of Revenue or the Florida Dept. of Financial Services.

  17. Re:Oblig. IP jokes. on FBI Obtains Phone Records With a Post-it Note · · Score: 1

    I can do my job without punching you in the face. So the FBI can also do their job without side-stepping our laws.

  18. Re:No, Seriously... on Google Attackers Identified as Chinese Government · · Score: 1

    And which administration has taken a tough stance on cyber crime? Don't get me wrong, I don't like any politicians. But the Chinese have been bombarding companies and government agencies inside our borders for many years now.

  19. Re:Just 11 months to go? on Chevrolet Volt In a Gasoline-Only Scenario · · Score: 1

    Since when is 11 months a short time until the release of a product? It shouldn't even be being discussed this far out. If it was maybe a month or two until the release, some anticipatory articles would be fine. But this just smells of more bullshit hype or "viral marketing" for the Volt, which has already had previous premature media campaigns.

    If you're going to release a product, just release it! Don't crap on about what you plan to release one day.

    Hype - it's important and sometimes required to get your product off the drawing table. Case and point: Duke Nukem Forever!

  20. Re:Oh great, another subdized vehicle... on Chevrolet Volt In a Gasoline-Only Scenario · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Or gave the money to the car manufacturer

  21. Re:I'm not sure about their policy... on EVE Online Battle Breaks Records (And Servers) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They're not real ships, and "thousands of dollars" were not lost.

    But it did take a lot of time to build up the in game credits to buy those ships. And you do literally pay real money for time in game.

  22. Re:Hopefully... on TSA Withdraws Subpoenas Against Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Only if the public wakes up and helps out. Props to this guy for not shutting his mouth, but there have been plenty of other people who continued to speak out only to have the public more worried about the bread and circuses.

  23. RIAA on Escaped Convict Continues To Update Facebook · · Score: 2, Funny

    This guy better not download any illegal music. They'd find him and fine him quickly.

  24. Re:Say goodbye for XML on Microsoft Ordered To Pay $290M, Stop Selling Word · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Amen to parent. I've never quite understood what good XML brought us.

  25. ProgramS? on The US Economy Needs More "Cool" Nerds · · Score: 1

    Today, introductory courses in computer science are too often focused merely on teaching students to use software like word processing and spreadsheet programs

    Singular, not plural.

    Today, introductory courses in computer science are too often focused merely on teaching students to use Microsoft Word processing and Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program.

    I went to a crappy private catholic high school 16 years ago but, luckily, our first course was in GW Basic. My girl just took a Computer Science class at the local community college and all she went through was Word, Excel, Access. It made me kind of mad, cause all she really learned was where to find all the menus in the new version of office.
