  1. Re:Deoderant rocks on Supreme Court Ruling Relaxes Warrant Requirements For Home Searches · · Score: 1

    I think it's a fake rock you leave in a bowl to fragrence a room, but they look like crack rocks.

  2. Re:I've to admit... on Supreme Court Ruling Relaxes Warrant Requirements For Home Searches · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The fact that they opened the door should be enough permission to enter it? That's f-ing stupid.

  3. Re:Frog is boiling.... on Supreme Court Ruling Relaxes Warrant Requirements For Home Searches · · Score: 1

    I'm sadly not optimistic that it may not happen in my lifetime.

    So many negatives I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

  4. Re:Well duh? on US Carriers Said To Have Rejected Kill Switch Technology Last Year · · Score: 2

    No, it would be like selling gas at a gas station to a person with a stollen car that you don't actually know is stollen because you never checked or asked.

  5. Re:Confiscate cameras on Ask Slashdot: Anti-Camera Device For Use In a Small Bus? · · Score: 1

    No, it was a question for nerds.

  6. Re:It might be an unpopular opinion... on Ask Slashdot: What Does Edward Snowden Deserve? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It all depends if you consider him a whistleblower or not. Whistleblowers are protected.

  7. Re: The Bowhead Whale slaughter in Alaska is worse on 200 Dolphins Await Slaughter In Japan's Taiji Cove · · Score: 1

    The bowhead is not endangered. It is endangered in certain areas but the overall numbers are fine.

  8. Re:Like 100 years ago... on Google Glass User Fights Speeding Ticket, Saying She's Defending the Future · · Score: 1

    Actually a heads up display for your map/speed/etc would cause less distractions since your eyes are still catching the road in the background.

  9. It would be more equivilent to say, "You were walking down the street carrying a gun and I gave you a ticket for shooting it into the air, but I can't prove you were shooting it into the air and you say you weren't and there was no sound or smoke or anything."

  10. Re: Cry me a fucking river... on Man Jailed For Refusing To Reveal USB Password · · Score: 1

    If your comments were correct then the government would not fear its citizens having guns. Guerilla warfare exists and has worked for generations against a larger more powerful army. If what you said was true the war on terror would have been over immediately after it started.

  11. Re:Simple on Google Removes "Search Nearby" Function From Updated Google Maps · · Score: 1

    Go read the thread on OpenStreetMap, you have to manually type in search nearby or some such thing and then it works great.

  12. Re:Routing around bad neighborhoods? Want! on Why the World Needs OpenStreetMap · · Score: 1

    Exactly, so running or driving through their neighborhoods won't result in you getting a gun shoved in your face.

  13. Re:No, it would improve Google searches on Could an Erasable Internet Kill Google? · · Score: 1

    To be fair, he did say anything on the internet older than 3 years. He made no reference to printed materials.

  14. Re:Comcast is already twisting the screws. on US Internet Service In 2014: Net Neutrality Challenges and High-Speed Build-Outs · · Score: 1

    My phone is wireless, so it wont work in a power outage anyway. But I asked the comcast rep about the battery in the modem, and according to her, the phone would keep working even without power or the battery. I don't believe her.

  15. Re:No... on Proposed California Law Would Mandate Smartphone Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Why would a state mandate no kill switches?

  16. Re:Electric cars are impressive power houses on Six Electric Cars Can Power an Office Building · · Score: 2

    Last month my electric bill was 80 or so dollars. That's heating a house and running the tv, computers etc. 30 days last month means it was less than $3 a day.

  17. The problem is they are alive on Chimpanzee "Personhood" Lawsuits Fail In New York Courts · · Score: 0

    Unlike corporations animals breathe and are accountable for their actions, therefore they aren't a person.

  18. But the NSA didn't tell me either on FTC Drops the Hammer On Maker of Location-Sharing Flashlight App · · Score: 1

    So when will the Government fine itself or the NSA for gathering my location info without telling me. Heck, I didn't even download their app.

  19. Teach to the test on New Education Performance Data Published: Asia Dominates · · Score: 2

    If countries want to score better they should teach to the test like the top countries usually do.

  20. Tired of hearing about this room on The Quietest Place On Earth Will Cause You To Hallucinate In 45 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Articles about this room pop up all of the time, it's not news unless it's new. There's nothing new here except they leave out that people have spent hours in there.

  21. Re:I know why they don't want to be tracked, on Boston Cops Outraged Over Plans to Watch Their Movements Using GPS · · Score: 1

    Cops in Maryland are paid pretty well.

  22. I know why they don't want to be tracked, on Boston Cops Outraged Over Plans to Watch Their Movements Using GPS · · Score: 1

    because cops use their crusiers for personal use when they aren't supposed to. In Maryland I see off duty cops, state troopers, and deputies driving around all of the time. How do I know? The passengers in the front and back seats that look like wives and kids give it away. Oh and seeing them loading a car with groceries too. I'm sure that this is technically agains the rules, and if the right people had the ability to just pull a tracker they would be able to see the misuse of resources paid for by the public.

  23. Imagine if you will... on Facebook Testing Screen-Tracking Software For Users · · Score: 5, Insightful

    a world where once you leave your local shopping store a man follows you around all day, recording where you go, what you look at, what you buy, the music you listen to, the tv shows you watch, which commercials you pay attention to, which ones you don't. There's no law against this, and if you tell him to leave you alone he ignores you. You file an opt out form and he still follows you, but now he hides in the bushes. This is what is happening, but to all of your online life. Thanks for reading.

  24. Re:so... on LulzSec's Raynaldo Rivera, a.k.a. 'neuron,' Gets One-Year Prison Term · · Score: 2

    He can declare bankruptcy and not have to pay this.

  25. Because no one obeys the law on Talking On the Phone While Driving Not So Dangerous After All · · Score: 1

    I constantly see people texting or calling others even with the new laws in place. There's no reduction in accidents because the law isn't stopping anyone from doing it.
