  1. Texas Officials are INSANE on Texas Regulators Crack Down on App-Driven Hauling Service · · Score: 1

    Leave it to a GOP/Teanderthal run state government to try to screw everybody they can.Texas voters got what they voted for.When will they ever learn?

  2. Re:ESPN can go eff themselves. on ESPN Sues Verizon To Stop New Sports-Free TV Bundles · · Score: 1

    I give less than a rat's ass what ESPN wants.I don't want their programming,the same goes for the home shopping and religious channels.That is the reason I don't have cable or satellite.I stream in what I want to watch.

  3. Trust a Murdock owned paper and site? on The Sun Newspaper Launches Anonymous Tor-Based WikiLeaks-Style SecureDrop · · Score: 0

    No way in HELL.Murdock's papers and other media outlets(FAUX NEWS for one) hasn't got a good track record for anything approaching decent integrity.

  4. Surprised? I'm not on WSJ Refused To Publish Lawrence Krauss' Response To "Science Proves Religion" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Since Rupert Murdock and his News Corp own the Wall Street Journal now,journalist integrity has been thrown out the window,just like at other News Corp businesses -case in point Fox(FAUX)news.Now the WSJ is just another right wing nut job mouthpiece.

  5. Comcast & Warner Cable Bullshit on FCC Puts Comcast and Time Warner Merger On Hold · · Score: 5, Interesting

    is getting pretty deep.Competition?In Most areas,THERE IS NO COMPETITION! Like here where I live in Southeastern Kentucky,It is either Warner Cable or nothing. And yes,customer service sucks like a Black Hole.

  6. OK Another one on Astronomers Find What May Be the Closest Exoplanet So Far · · Score: 1

    OK is it another "Hot" Jupiter or is it a rocky world in the habitable zone? Might just be Quonos.(Klingon Home World)

  7. Turnabout on DOJ Requests More Power To Hack Remote Computers · · Score: 1

    Well,I can always set up a very nasty supervirus surprise if my machines are touched.Try to access my machines like that,I reserve the right to respond in kind.

  8. Re:Two solutions (Encrypt or leave) on Dropbox's New Policy of Scanning Files For DMCA Issues · · Score: 0

    Dropbox just shot their business model in the head.I hope they realize that.

  9. That's it on Dropbox's New Policy of Scanning Files For DMCA Issues · · Score: 1

    If Dropbox is doing that,then their service will get dropped like an overheated potato.I won't use them,that's for sure.

  10. Re:Translation: on Microsoft Promises Not To Snoop Through Email · · Score: 1

    I'll believe it when pigs fly under their own power.

  11. Re:Did Fluke request this? on $30K Worth of Multimeters Must Be Destroyed Because They're Yellow · · Score: 1

    Hell,I have an old Sperry Multimeter that is as yellow as a Tweety Bird.I've owned it for 30 years or more.What's their problem?

    Here is the Wikipedia link -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W...

  13. Re:Predictions? on Is DIY Brainhacking Safe? · · Score: 1

    The real dangers,besides frying your brain,will be the ultimate of addictions.Called Wireheading,with electrodes implanted into the pleasure center of the brain,you could possibly "Pleasure "yourself until you die of neglect.I first heard of this via the Known Space series of books by Larry Niven.(Louis Wu was a wirehead in The Ringworld Engineers) Take your time,think it through(Something else from those books)

  14. I smell a lawsuit coming on School Tricks Pupils Into Installing a Root CA · · Score: 0

    In Kentucky,this behavior would get that IT guy 5 years in the state Pen.AT the very least,some need to sue the school and the IT guy for the root CA.That will put a halt to this type of behavior.

  15. If Granny is Happy with KDE on Debian on Ask Slashdot: Linux For Grandma? · · Score: 2

    Then use KDE on Debian.You can overthink the solution if you will take time to puzzle it through.If she is happy,then use that.No need to get too fancy with the distro.

  16. Re:Bob, if you're reading this- on Merlin's Magic: The Inside Story of the First Mobile Game · · Score: 3

    I got 1 for Christmas,which I still have and yes,it works perfectly.Still love to get it out and play with it.Thanks,Bob

  17. It will backfire on An Iowa ISP's Metered Pricing: What Will the Market Bear? · · Score: 1

    If and when the ISP starts that,I am prepared to cut loose immediately.Just because they sell it doesn't mean I have to buy.

  18. Re:Would you expect anything else? on Disney Pulls a Reverse Santa, Takes Back Christmas Shows From Amazon Customers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There is a way to stop them.STOP BUYING DISNEY SHIT OR GOING TO THE PARKS.HIT THE MOFOs where it hurts them the worst,in the billfold.

  19. Re:It's still morally reprehensible on Disney Pulls a Reverse Santa, Takes Back Christmas Shows From Amazon Customers · · Score: 1

    Just because it is legal to do this doesn't make it right.Make the big Corporations BLEED for screwing their customers.Write an email saying never again will you purchase ANYTHING from (Fill in the blank here) company.If enough people do this,they will think twice before doing it again.

  20. Re:Reverse Santa? on Disney Pulls a Reverse Santa, Takes Back Christmas Shows From Amazon Customers · · Score: 1

    Try P2P.I've been armpit deep into repairing an old motherboard today.Sorry

  21. Re:Reverse Santa? on Disney Pulls a Reverse Santa, Takes Back Christmas Shows From Amazon Customers · · Score: 1

    Not a bad idea if you can block the anti-PNP crap

  22. Re: Good on EPA Makes Most Wood Stoves Illegal · · Score: 1

    Well,it's a good thing that I kept my 60s era Warm Morning stove (Coal and wood burning,made in the USA BTW).I'd like to see any Fed come to Southeastern Kentucky and leave intact after trying to enforce anything like that.The NY Mob tried in the 1970s & couldn't handle the Hillbillies (95% of them were sent home in glorified garbage bags) and the urbanites from the EPA sure as hell can't.We could always shut off the coal supply and then you can do without electric power.Think about it. I can always weld a good stove from old coal truck rims,so WTF

  23. Tesla Proven Right,Again on Building an 'Invisibility Cloak' With Electromagnetic Fields · · Score: 2

    Sounds an awful lot like the Philadelphia Experiment except on a smaller scale. Not surprising that the work of Nikola Tesla,which in a lot of ways was way ahead of its time,is being re-examined.How many more of his discoveries will finally see the light of day after being suppressed for 60 or 70 years? All I can say is this -> "You Ain't seen Nothing Yet"

  24. Re:Wrong thing to withold. on Withhold Passwords From Your Employer, Go To Jail? · · Score: 2

    I have done exactly that and laughed with Satanic glee as the employers ( a big coal company)proceeded to crash the entire network within 10 minutes.You can imagine how much crow they had to eat (at $5000 flat rate hour with the threat of a mechanic's lien on all computer equipment if they didn't immediately pay up upon completion) when they had to call me back to fix it.Well,the one that fired me got fired ( condition 1 for me to do anything) and yes they had to pay the $25,000 bill( 4 hours 5 minutes it took to restore the system.They never backed up anything.I had the entire system imaged on several very ( my personal property BTW) large hard drives. You don't piss off a hillbilly,especially one who is a computer geek and expect to get away with it.Turned out that my former boss was trying to hide some equipment theifs.Well,he is still sitting in the Eddieville State prison after getting nailed for it.The company filed for bankruptcy a few years later and the Feds nailed them for bankruptcy fraud,thanks to the appearance of a hard drive with papers addressed to the judge with no return address spelling out what they were trying to pull. Revenge is a dish best served cold.And it can be sweet

  25. Re:Farts in their general direction. on Dropbox Wants To Replace Your Hard Disk · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Amen to that.I do not trust cloud storage at all.
