  1. Re:What's the problem? on Oklahoma Botched an Execution With Untested Lethal Injection Drugs · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Many induce absolutely tremendous levels of suffering.

    We can hope.

  2. What's the problem? on Oklahoma Botched an Execution With Untested Lethal Injection Drugs · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The inmate "blew" a vein and had a heart attack.

    Sounds like it worked okay.

    3) Armed guards with instructions to shoot on sight.

    As long as they're awake....

  4. Re:How can you "steal" a pic off the 'net? on Photo Web Site Offers a Wall of Shame For Image Thieves · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Collecting" isn't the problem. It's using someone else's copyrighted property to sell one's own services.

    Would you feel differently if someone used your source code as a reference for a contract gig?

    I see you have a fancy stove. You must be an excellent chef.

  6. Re:user profile location on An SSD for Your Current Computer May Save the Cost of a New One (Video) · · Score: 1

    Depends on how many files you have it your home dir. If it's lots, I prefer:

    cd /home
    find . -print -depth | cpio -pvdum /mnt/home

  7. Re:Mandatory arbitration? on Target and Trustwave Sued Over Credit Card Breach · · Score: 1

    Don't spread that around....

    They are, actually.

  9. Re:The Army is spying on people too on Navy Database Tracks Civilians' Parking Tickets, Fender-Benders · · Score: 2

    While the fact the Navy is compiling the data is concerning, the information they're collecting is public record. Newsflash: if you get arrested, everyone can know.

  11. Re:I'm confused... on Steve Ballmer Blew Up At the Microsoft Board Before Retiring · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's like killing two turds with one flush!

    I think Ballmer is going to take an extra flush.

  15. Re:What's left? on IBM Looking To Sell Its Semiconductor Business · · Score: 4, Informative

    IBM is primarily a professional services company. They've been evolving into that for years.

  16. They've got it wrong on California Bill Proposes Mandatory Kill-Switch On Phones and Tablets · · Score: 5, Funny

    Already half of all robberies in San Francisco and 75 percent of those in Oakland involve a mobile device and the number is rising in Los Angeles, according to police figures.

    Really, what we need, is a kill switch for Oakland, San Francisco and LA.

  17. Re:For crying out loud ... on Adobe Flash Remote Code Execution Flaw Exploited In the Wild · · Score: 1

    By VMware client, I actually meant Vsphere. Part of my job is managing the several hundred virtual servers that run a state wide law enforcement agency. VMWare hasn't updated their thick client to support all of the features in ESXi 5.5. To access those features and have passthrough authentication, you have to use Flash, and a windows based browser. Perhap the position you've chosen to take works for you, but If your only experience with VMWare is workstation then you're hardly an authority.

  18. Re:For crying out loud ... on Adobe Flash Remote Code Execution Flaw Exploited In the Wild · · Score: 2

    That's a convienent position to take but sometimes you don't have a choice. VMware, for example, requires flash for their web client while at the same time removing functionality from their thick client. I can either take a philosophical stand or I can do my job.

    Privacy afforded by bitcoin is lost here since buyer identity is known to at least two parties - Overstock and Coinbase.

    And UPS.

    This protects them from a "man in the middle" how?

    If the government has the keys it doesn't matter how many bits they use.
