  1. Re:Dammit this is a terrible idea on Gmail Recognizes Addresses Containing Non-Latin Characters · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't be surprised to see l'Office québécois de la langue française do something like that. I speak french and I still think they're assholes who are over-reaching their boundaries.

    I don't want to sound racist, but I've never heard of Jewish suicide bombers, Jewish plane hijackings, etc.

    Are you going to be the left speaker, the right speaker, or the middle subwoofer?

    I don't like him either.

  6. It's like some people who use TOR do this analogy: they wrap themselves in a full-body suit that can prevent face recognition, tracking, etc. But they walk around shouting their name, age, address,etc so that anyone within range can hear it.

    In other words, you can't fix stupid.

  7. Re: LOL on The FBI Is Infecting Tor Users With Malware With Drive-By Downloads · · Score: 1

    It's a discussion about the FBI compromising TOR that turned into a flamewar between AAPL, MSFT and OSS fanboys because we all assume the malware probably only involved Microsoft's Windows OS.

    P.S.: I use Linux and OSS software for the server-side, I use OS X as my desktop with a mix of commercial and OSS software and I use Windows for both commercial and indie games. I'm a fanboy of using what I think works best for the task.

    Mod parent up please. If a lawyer gets involved it could get interesting/funny/streisandy.

    From you-know-who.

  15. Re:That anyone can knit at home? on Want To Work Without Prying Eyes? Try Wearing a Body Sock · · Score: 1

    I don't see what a body sock has to do with the process in which individually separated but related items are grouped, packaged, and supplied together as one unit.

  16. Re:Facebook didn't sell me anything on How Facebook Sold You Krill Oil · · Score: 1

    And so you cannot stop anyone from creating an account with your name, set the town to yours, the phone number, etc. At which point, someone doing a casual search might think the fake account is yours and your job application goes directly in the trash.

    It's too short. :(
