  1. Banksters can loot trillions at will sans steenking serial numbers. Let's see some Magical Chrystal Pattern Matching to put a stop to that.

  2. Gotta protect on Australian ISPs To Introduce '3-Strike' Style Anti-piracy Scheme · · Score: 1

    but why can't we clamp down on blood-sucking banksters? I suppose that stealing a film and shirking a $10 theater ticket is more serious than stealing billions in pension funds.

  3. Yeah right on US State Department Can't Get Rid of Email Hackers · · Score: 1

    US State department cannot get rid of the ultimate hackers and never will -- their rivals for taxpayer dollars at the NSA.

  4. Sounds perfect on Canada's Next-Generation Military Smart Gun Unveiled · · Score: 1

    for breaking up peaceful protests.

  5. More appropriate headline on Sir Richard Branson Quietly Shelves Virgin Submarine Plan · · Score: 1

    Sir Richard Branson Quietly Sinks Virgin Submarine Plan. I threw up in my mouth when I typed Sir and Virgin.

  6. It is tragic on Solar Plant Sets Birds On Fire As They Fly Overhead · · Score: 1

    but the wingnuts that oppose renewable energy don't care about any organisms besides themselves. Hence, you will not see this finding in any anti clean-energy screeds.

  7. I don't get the gist of this re-design on Samsung Announces Galaxy Alpha Featuring Metal Frame and Rounded Corners · · Score: 1

    My Note 3 has a beautiful metal wrap-around frame and the rear cover can be replaced with just about anything including one with wireless Qi charging capability. Plus, you can change the dad-burned battery already! Quit your whining because Samsung is not Apple, who IMO is way overrated. Samsung should ignore the idiotic pressure to make their phones more like the iPhone and let it rip.

  8. This is Slashdot on Verizon's Offer: Let Us Track You, Get Free Stuff · · Score: 1

    home to enlightened techies. That said, this knowledgeable tech consumer says feck Verizon and the baby bell that they rode in on.

  9. of this "Manifest Destiny" shite already. How about making the world that we are spoiling a better place to live?

  10. Better yet on Autonomous Trucking · · Score: 1

    Mercedes should be investing in rail freight infrastructure and technology that would keep heavy vehicles off our roads. Fat chance though as the don't sell railway cars. If we revived rail freight at the expense of heavy trucks, the jobs gained would offset those lost. Plus, air pollution, and roadway maintenance and congestion would drastically reduce.

  11. Profits on Swedish Farmers Have Doubts About Climatologists and Climate Change · · Score: 1

    It appears that Swedish farmers are no better than Murcan farmers in this regard. All farmers regardless of country/ideology: if profits increase this year (food prices going up everywhere)--status quo; if profits do not go up, ignore/disparage the economic/environmental influences because the concepts are well beyond their grasp. Farmers are in essence superstitious and anti-science. Climate change? I got the Farmer's Almanac.

  12. For once... on Florida Man Faces $48k Fine For Jamming Drivers' Cellphones · · Score: 1

    you go FLORIDA MAN!

  13. Meanwhile, back in the states on EU Launches World's Largest Civilian Robotics Program; 240,000 New Jobs Expected · · Score: 1

    our lame pols are whining about how EPA emission constraints are going to cost us the same amount of jobs even though there is around 78,000 coal miners. Where are the job creators? Are they indigenous to the EU or something? Why can't we create jobs by investing and installing clean energy products like scrubbers for coal-firepower plants?

  14. The perfect designated driver on Google Unveils Self-Driving Car With No Steering Wheel · · Score: 1

    NT

  15. I am so excited on Chromecast Support Coming To Mobile Firefox · · Score: 1

    that I cannot contain myself.

  16. As long as this wormhole eats this god-forsaken planet. I picture it as a massive wood chipper sucking in planets and discharging energy out of the other end. In other words, earth as we know it is the equivalent to a beer fart.

  17. Well I'll be on US Nuclear Missile Silos Use Safe, Secure 8" Floppy Disks · · Score: 1

    damned. The guy has got a point. Security via obsolescence and still using typewriters with fabric ribbons I suppose. Nevertheless, the whole shtick makes perfect sense.

  18. I thought on 'The Door Problem' of Game Design · · Score: 1

    that this door issue was handled in Doom. Don't have the key? Circle back, lock and load and hope for the best. Incremental saves are a plus.

  19. you should pay your fair share of taxes at a fair rate and just maybe it will trickle down to the less fortunate.

  20. I prefer a on Industry-Wide Smartphone "Kill Switch" Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    Verizon/ATT kill switch in retribution for their information highway robbery.

  21. It's like choosing a winner between on Emails Reveal Battle Over Employee Poaching Between Google and Facebook · · Score: 1

    a war between Germany and Japan in 1939--nothing good will come from it. Both of them need to focus on their customers as opposed to the profitability of their plutocratic shareholders.

  22. Gates wants more charter schools and Greenspan has an epiphany.

  23. Congress needs funds for on Mars Rover Opportunity Faces New Threat: Budget Ax · · Score: 1

    Uterus rover.

  24. Tech per child winding down? on Is One Laptop Per Child Winding Down? · · Score: 1

    Did it ever wind up? If you cannot provide an iPad and chauffeured transportation to and from the school of your choice for every one of your bloody spawn, you are a loser.

  25. Kensai7 on Sony Selling Off VAIO Computer Business · · Score: 1

    Maybe Sony will sell to oppo who puts swiveling cameras on its smartphones.
