  1. Occam's Razor, people on Being Pestered By Drones? Buy a Drone-Hunting Drone · · Score: 1

    12-gauge shotgun with modified choke ought to take out the plastic birds

  2. ever call support? everybody does it on Google Releases More Windows Bugs · · Score: 1

    "he did it! he did it!" yeah, they're taught that song at birth.

  3. YET... on Google Releases More Windows Bugs · · Score: 1

    >> Microsoft says there's no evidence these flaws have been successfully exploited.

  4. sit DOWN, Perry Mason! on Silk Road Trial Defense: Mt. Gox CEO Was the Real Dread Pirate Roberts · · Score: 1

    and just how the hell did you get in here?

  5. turn OJ loose on Silk Road Trial Defense: Mt. Gox CEO Was the Real Dread Pirate Roberts · · Score: 1

    I think these guys are the "real killers" too

  6. the BiteCon is ON! on Silk Road Trial Defense: Mt. Gox CEO Was the Real Dread Pirate Roberts · · Score: 1

    at what point do they trot out Vinnie and Butch before the strongmen get rushed into the Witness Protection System? this looks like the eMafia.

  7. uh, if this is a bag of pipes, isn't it bad music? on There's a Problem In the Silk Road Trial: the Jury Doesn't Get the Internet · · Score: 1

    so I'm so confused, your honor. there is this thing of radio pipes, right? but you can hide pipes inside of pipes, so you are running poo inside of drinking water? but it's drugs instead of poo? and they are stuffing fake money in with the poo, except it runs the other way? and it's all hidden so we can't see it, except bad guys can, and sometimes the cops? except it wasn't really there?

    you got any booze in that desk? I need a big swallow...

  8. so you can see what you are typing in the password on Wireless Keylogger Masquerades as USB Phone Charger · · Score: 1

    obviously, this will be big among executive offices, saves time trying every password they have used in the past 20 years to watch videos during phone conferences.

  9. stolen ballots? on How Bitcoin Could Be Key To Online Voting · · Score: 2, Insightful

    let's review the evidence. biggest Bitecon shop rifled and shut down broke a year ago. last week, the next biggest Bitecon shop was hit for something around $5 million in Bitecon. TV hosts wave around a new wallet on the air and it's emptied before the videotape rolls on the story.

    and somebody wants to run VOTES over this leaky scam system? almost as bad at the Supreme Court allowing billionnaires to buy all the elections they want.

  10. they're not supported for dialling on Ask Slashdot: Sounds We Don't Hear Any More? · · Score: 1

    almost all the telcos have stopped leasing the software on their digital voice switches that reads the click=k=k=k=k=k=k=k of the dial. for that matter, you never hear the zzzziiipppppp-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk of rotary contactors that were the CO side of that dial phone (or the clank-k-k-k-THUNK of the crossbar switch.)

  11. and don't hook the little thingies up, either on BlackBerry's Survival Plan: the Internet of Things · · Score: 1

    I can see a hundred little bots fouling up your house with this IofT nonsense. one release, no upgrade path, no thought of security built-in, sell 'em and run. I have several candidates, and there is NOT going to be any RJ45 or wifi permissions for them. period.

  12. who's behind this, lizardmen? on Thync, a Wearable That Zaps Your Brain To Calm You Down or Amp You Up · · Score: 2

    interesting concept, much bandied about, herded for food, etc.

  13. two issues Bezos is blind to on The Fire Phone Debacle and What It Means For Amazon's Future · · Score: 1

    (1) it's a crap phone, and we've all got phones that make the Fire look like 1982.

    (2) it's a pushback against "we will be your only store, your company store, and in fact we will put an agent in bed with you to make sure you never think of another supplier for anything."

  14. one word: on Indiana Court Rules Melted Down Hard Drive Not Destruction of Evidence · · Score: 1

    bonfire.

  15. until they get on Putin's bad side on Private Russian Company Proposes Lunar Base · · Score: 1, Insightful

    then they are capable of bankruptcy and the modern gulag. Russian business is ebb and flow like that.

  16. I suggested that in the late 90s on Google Fiber's Latest FCC Filing: Comcast's Nightmare Come To Life · · Score: 1

    use SNAP headers or similar to handle billing, etc. but you know, it just looks like providers want every drop of the gravy themselves.

  17. simple... block them on Would Twitter Make President Obama 'Follow' the Tea Party If the Price Is Right? · · Score: 1

    frickin weasels at Twitter... should be blocking and reporting them, but block is OK for now.

  18. breathing is consent on WikiLeaks Claims Employee's Google Mail, Metadata Seized By US Government · · Score: 1

    and exhaling is prohibited.

  19. OMG, it's like reusing WORDS! on India Blocks Code Sharing Websites On Anti-Terror Advisory · · Score: 1

    "Alright, let's get this party started. Lot Number One... a pallet cube... we have a jumble of some sort of boxes of geegaw stuff, half have power cords. there are no manuals or labelling on the devices. let's start bidding at a dollar... one dollar dollar dollar, lot 1... still one dollar... do I hear 50 cents?"

  21. Sony is a pirate! drag out the rootkit! on Sony Accused of Pirating Music In "The Interview" · · Score: 1

    one they didn't originate...

  22. marketing weasels only, no development on Kodak-Branded Smartphones On the Way · · Score: 1

    meh, they might as well be sitting in Shenzen making Chinese copies of Korean stuff, it's all relabelling.

  23. JAIL! JAIL!! JAIL!!! on NSA Reveals More Than a Decade of Improper Surveillance · · Score: 4, Interesting

    the high and mighty keep doing evil shit until they start landing on the bottom bunk under Bubba in an overcrowded jail.

  24. ok... THIS time on South Korea Says Nuclear Reactors Safe After Cyberattacks · · Score: 1

    there is always a next time for hackers, and they learn each time they get in. moral: disconnect from the web. VT102 terminals would make a dandy airgap, but they won't run the manglement crap.

  25. if TWC is hiding documents, deny the merger on Comcast-TWC Merger Review On Hold · · Score: 2

    seems like a no-brainer. punish weasels.
