  1. You know what they say.. on iPhone 4, iPad 2 Get US Import Ban · · Score: 0, Troll

    .. those who can't compete, litigate.

  2. Here's the proof that copyright law is insane on UK Police Launch Campaign To Shut Down Torrent Sites · · Score: 4, Insightful

    police accuse site operators of committing offenses under the Serious Crime Act

    When sharing information about shifting bits of data across a computer network is considered a serious crime, the corruption in the system is not only obvious but blatantly so.

  3. New game release.. on DoS Attack Forces EVE Online Offline · · Score: -1, Redundant

    "Eve Offline" .. F2P!!

  4. OMG what a great idea on Pi to Go: Hot Raspberry Pi DIY Mini Desktop PC Project · · Score: 4, Funny

    A desktop computer you can carry anywhere, someone should have thought of this 30 years ago. It really needs it's own category name don't you think?

    What about the 'kneetop' or perhaps the 'stomachtop' or maybe the 'palmtop' .. hmm, they're just not *quite* right are they?

  5. The shill is ousted, long live the shill on In France, a Showcase of What Can Go Wrong With Online Voting · · Score: 1

    Nicholas Sarkozy (an obviously corrupt shill for the content industry) is ousted and what do you know .. there's a voting system brought to bare which can be easily manipulated to meet the required outcome of corrupt business.

    Seriously, who really believes in voting anymore? As long as these supposedly democratic systems CAN be manipulated, they WILL be manipulated. It's long past time to recognise that the governments that were supposed to serve us are now imprisoning us. Our rights to do just about anything are being slowly curtailed and now even the false facad of democracy is falling over.

  6. Re:Not a restart, Not a safety decision, lets not on Monju Nuclear Plant Operator Ordered To Stop Restart Preparation · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    try and scare us all away with the nuclear apocalypse bogeyman

    He's 20km's wide, lives in the former Fukushima powerplant, explodes when you expose him to oxygen and pisses unmeasurable amounts of radiation into the ocean. But I'm not afraid, we're going fishing this weekend.

    Pfft .. why wait.

  10. 2009 flu vaccines were contaminated on Gene Therapy May Protect Against Flu · · Score: 1

    companies raced to make a vaccine against a pandemic influenza virus, but most of the uncontaminated vaccine wasn't ready until the pandemic had peaked

    Fixed that for you.

  11. The free software foundation on Taking Action For Free JavaScript · · Score: 0, Troll

    As relevant as ever.

  12. Re:Here's his best defense.. on Judge Orders Child Porn Suspect To Decrypt His Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    He should inform the honorable judge that he's forgotten the decryption parameters or whatever they are called

    Glad you stepped in there, I was about to suggest that he incriminate himself by giving the police the evidence they need to lock him in prison for 15 years with a tattoo on his forehead saying "Arse wide open".

  13. Re:Why would a celebrity on Canadian Man Pleads Guilty In Celebrity Hacking and Harrassment Case · · Score: 3, Insightful

    keep nude photos of themselves on their own computer?

    Probably for the very same reason as celebrities leak their own sex tapes, in the hopes that someone will steal and publish them.

  14. Wayland is totally irrelevant on Vastly Improved Raspberry Pi Performance With Wayland · · Score: 0

    Since Ubuntu are no longer using Wayland, how could it possibly matter any longer? And given that the Raspberry Pi can't get decent graphics performance without Wayland, it would seem that the decision to bother to build any more Raspberry Pi's is completely redundant.

    It's flawless logic.
    ... M.S.

  15. Nice to see ASIO.. on Australian Intelligence HQ Blueprints Hacked · · Score: 1

    .. being as subtle as ever. An enormous building in the heart of the capital shaped like an A. There's probably a big sign on the front saying "Nothing to see here, move along".

  16. Re:Could be a decoy on Australian Intelligence HQ Blueprints Hacked · · Score: 1

    There's always the possibility the attackers found a "fake" blueprint under a lighter level of security, put there to make them think they found something worthwhile and back out to avoid further detection. Then you make it public (like it now has) and make the enemy believe something that's actually a complete ruse.

    It's equally as possible that China's blatant attack to ge the fake blueprints was a ruse for the real attack which acquired the actual blueprints.

  17. Re:We need Terrestrial planet finder on NASA TESS Observatory Will Hunt For Alien Life On "Super-Earth" Exoplanets · · Score: 1

    What if we find a planet that is just like Earth; and has a thriving ecosystem; but has much more gravity than Earth?

    The inhabitants will be so small that they won't stand a chance against us.

    Damn but I wish I could mod you up. I'm guessing you weren't edumacated in a western civilisation?

  20. Re:Never a serious activity on NASA TESS Observatory Will Hunt For Alien Life On "Super-Earth" Exoplanets · · Score: 1

    Nothing you have posted is even slightly believable to even the uneducated

    You better warn wikipedia because they've got some trash up there. Also, you might want to let the US Air Force know that project blue book never existed. Sheesh, the quality of information available from the government is certainly going downhill!

    But I'll give you a 6/10 for your debunking post. It contains no facts but really elicits the disbelief of the reader. It does an excellent job of maintaining the socially acceptable position of UFO debunking whilst also tying in subtle insult by association very efficiently. Unfortunately the clear close mindedness of the debunk leads the educated to recognise it's nature as pure propaganda.

    But it does seem doubtful that this quality of socially engineered debunk will see you lose your job. And always remember, if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it.

  21. Never a serious activity on NASA TESS Observatory Will Hunt For Alien Life On "Super-Earth" Exoplanets · · Score: 4, Funny

    Extra-terrestrial life has been visiting the earth for 10's if not 100's of thousands of years. What do you think the ancient Hindu scrolls talk about?

    In the fifties, there were thousands of reliable documented UFO sightings covered up by the US government with such ridiculous explanations as 'moonlight reflecting off of swamp gas'. Google up project blue book. We all know about the Roswell stories and there and hundreds of similar reliable situations throughout the last 50 years. Given that we know that extra-terrestrial life is and has been visiting the earth, what is with NASA still launching vessels into orbit to 'search' for extra-terrestrial beings?

    It's a thinly veiled ruse to fool an unsuspecting public into believing that the US government's mis-information campaign is the truth.

    Let's turn the tide and start a terrible wave of truth here. I've seen extra-terrestrial craft in the skies, how about you?

    Take the red pill.

    No. I have no vested interest in the success of any mobile platform whatsoever. How about you?

    Everyone is so quick to rush to the soapbox and preach how wonderful their platform of choice is and how awful the others are

    Not true. Load of folks on this thread are preaching about how stupid users are. I don't care if my computer is part of a botnet, as long as the thing is still working .. it's not my problem. Want my computer / telephone / answering system / car ECU not to be infected by the random waste of the internet? Make a computer which doesn't get infected by the random waste of the internet.

    You can put in all the effort you want to educate me about your problems, they're still your problems.

  25. This is why I hate Android on Android Malware Intercepts Text Messages, Forwards To Criminals · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The potential for Malware is just too high. Every geek will 'blame the user' but it's time to take responsibility and blame the platform.

    I constantly, repeatedly and persistently tell everyone who asks to buy an iPhone. The platform is safe. No ifs, ands, buts or blaming the users for their stupidity. If it can go wrong, it will go wrong.

    This is just the leading edge of the wave. If the authors can get this into the Play store, they will. It's just a matter of time before Android phones become infected with premium line diallers and other wonderfully creative nasties. The 'Free' platform is slowly becoming the 'Free for all' platform.
