  1. As a foreigner on Lawmakers Who Upheld NSA Phone Spying Received Double the Defense Industry Cash · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Isn't it exactly how congress works in America, the country that legalized bribery?

  2. What? on US Promises Not To Kill Or Torture Snowden · · Score: 1

    Change.gov is down? As a foreigner i'm amazed by the speed of your country's collapse into the black hole of authoritarianism.
    Don't want to flamebait but how can someone blame people for being anti-americanist? This sentiment is growing stronger by the day for me. Against your government, of course, mind you.

  7. Re:Obligatory Linux evangelism on Ask Slashdot: Light-Footprint Antivirus For Windows XP? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why are they teaching "computers" with windows? Given those elders are not accustomed to computers at all they might as well start with something better, and better suited for those old machines.

  8. I knew it on The Little Bomb-Detecting Device That Couldn't · · Score: 5, Insightful

    James randi too was amazed at how basically all dowsers keep believing they have their special powers even after they've been thoroughly debunked.

  9. Re:Why would you build this in an earthquake zone? on Colorado Company Says It Plans To Test Hyperloop Transport System · · Score: 1

    Why would you build a high-speed train line instead?

  10. I'm not an expert on Aussie Telco Telstra Agreed To Spy For America · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't know but... isn't THAT some kind of treason or betrayal of your fellow countrymen or something?

  11. Going down on Steve Ballmer Reorganizing Microsoft · · Score: 2

    The following image came to my mind: a huge zeppelin, quickly losing height, desperately but uselessly releasing ballast: you know - and they know - it is doomed to crash and you keep staring at it waiting for it to finally meet its doom. People inside are panicking, restlessly shuffling around, trying their best to save their asses in the upcoming crash.

    My eMule is alive and kickin'!

  14. Re:Sadly on Former Valve Hardware Designer Recounts Management Difficulties · · Score: 1

    They pretty much admitted that the episodic model was a mistake and that they'll go for HL3 directly. IF EVER. BOB SAGET!

    Video streaming? Only if you get proper authorization first!

  18. Luckily on You Will Get DirectX 11.2 Only With Windows 8.1 · · Score: 1

    Steam is on Linux too now. Game companies cannot easily ignore that anymore. Unless you're a huge douchebag like EA, Activision etc...

  19. OMG on Hacker Releases 1.7TB Treasure Trove of Gaming Info · · Score: 3, Interesting

  24. He sure does on In Praise of the King: 1.7M Social Media Comments In Thailand · · Score: 2

    Judging by his embarrassing fuckface, Bhumibol Adulyadej Ramadhibodi Chakrinarubodin Sayamindaradhraj Boromanatbophit loves gerbilling and practices it avidly.
    Too bad he won't end like all bad monarchs deserve.

  25. Oh really? on Ask Slashdot: Best Software For Tracking Fiber Optic Networks? · · Score: 2

    Nice try, NSA! Still can't get enough snooping around?
