  1. they put the wacky in the www on Islamic Hacker Group Resumes Attacks On Banks · · Score: 1

    one of these days, somebody is going to say fuck it, and once they find country of origin, are going to organize a targeted DDOS back to them that wipes their TLDs off the web for weeks, months, or years. maybe then we can get some international leadership to put these nitwits in a can with Prince Albert and lock them in the fridge to see how fast it's running.

  2. but wtf are they doing for garlic butter? on As Fish Stocks Collapse, Overpopulated Lobsters Resort to Cannibalism · · Score: 1

    no wonder it's called "wild" lobster. the boors.

  3. ... and delist the movie companies from the web on Movie Studios Ask Google To Censor Links To Legal Copies of Their Own Films · · Score: 1

    take down their domain names because they are promoting valuable content! don't publish advertising related to these products! and Mr. Governor Brown, TAKE DOWN THOSE BUILDINGS!

  4. log THIS, officer on Cops To Congress: We Need Logs of Americans' Text Messages · · Score: 1

    go squat on a chain saw, not the Constitution

  5. you can scan your cards when we tell you to on The Rise of Feudal Computer Security · · Score: 1

    and don't forget to photograph the JCL stack in the proper order first, because if you mung that up, we won't tell you.

    seems I've heard this before.

  6. hmmm. I can just imagine the advice... on Swiss Spy Agency: Counter-Terrorism Secrets Stolen · · Score: 1

    "Really, guys, hide it in plain sight so nobody thinks it's important. Get hot new stuff, tweet it out. Ever hear of a public Wiki?"

    the big question is, do they have a capital punishment law for treason over there? or does the Swiss Army just take turns batting you around all day?

  7. slashdotters can't spell on North Korea Claims Archaeologists Have Found 'Unicorn Lair' In Pyongyang · · Score: 1

    it's obvously meant to be "Unicorn LIAR," since it's a story about Nut Korea.

  8. one big virus got through on Microsoft Security Essentials Loses AV-Test Certificate · · Score: 0

    the Gates/Ballmer virus consistently infects Windows machines. and it's persistent.

  9. and knowing this, the US got a treaty through on Carl Sagan Was On US Team To Nuke the Moon · · Score: 0

    banning weaponry in space and on other planets.

    verification is, however, another matter.

    but by George, we got us a treaty! where's the Nobels stored, folks, I want a dozen for my mother...

  10. finally! unobtainium! on Large Hadron Collider May Have Produced New Matter · · Score: 1

    now I can fix my really old stuff

  11. that's blur-ray player. on Federal Officials Take Down 132 Websites In "Cyber Monday" Crackdown · · Score: 1

    first tip-off should have been them claiming 1080-HA! resolution.

  12. I have a constitutional right to not read the crap on Ad Blocking – a Coming Legal Battleground? · · Score: 2

    everybody has the right to speak.

    and everybody has the right to NOT LISTEN.

    3 million servicefolk have died for that right. don't make me open a new case of whoop-ass over it.

  13. they'll just send a Nobel vest over there on Pakistan To Cut Phone Services To Prevent Muharram Attacks · · Score: 1

    plenty of people they can coerce into wearing clothing that ticks.

  14. way back in the sticks, it's still done there on Pakistan To Cut Phone Services To Prevent Muharram Attacks · · Score: 1

    some Sauronesque minds out there....

  15. probably. on Pakistan To Cut Phone Services To Prevent Muharram Attacks · · Score: 1

    some of the wacko bin Loonies would like to roll the clock back to 700 AD, so shut off the electricity and phones and let them see what it would be like. oh, and there were no rifles and RPGs and stuff, let them go back to horses and bayonets.

  16. screw that. release it to The AP. on US Judge Orders Apple To Share HTC Deal Details With Samsung · · Score: 1

    let Apple, Samsung, and the judge find it out from their own preferred newspapers, and then we'll REALLY get this battle on from all the, uh, hmm, perceived spins put on strictly running the wire copy without changing a comma. it'll be like locking them all in a room and never opening the door after the noise stops.

  17. Fitch just cut Sony to BB- with neg outlook on Ask Slashdot: Best Console For the Kids This Holiday? · · Score: 1

    so it looks like the financial market says don't count on a screaming boatload of new games in a couple years. Panasonic is a hurting critter, too.

  18. or if you live in Detroit Lakes, it's always on on High-Voltage Fences For Zapping Would-Be Copper Thieves · · Score: 2

    they have a nice little small town radio station in Detroit Lakes, MN with a nice little tower down near a lake, surrounded by grazing land. seems the cows kept breaking through the antenna feedline and putting them off the air.

    so they've got a wowzer electric fence protecting the feedline.

    probably has as much power as their dollar-a-holler station, for whenever you dial them in, you get the SNAP SNAP SNAP of their electric fence imposed on the broadcast signal.

    in Devils Lake, ND, they have a similar situation. except they buried their feedline in a duct. no fencer needed.

  19. ahh! ahh! ahh! on High-Voltage Fences For Zapping Would-Be Copper Thieves · · Score: 1

    it is a right of passage for manly youth of the rural persuasion to test the fencers... once. I had the opportunity to check one back a quarter mile from Grandpa's, down on the old farm boundary of what was his land and that of Dad's friends.

    yep, it's working.

    hurts, but shouldn't put anybody on the ground.

  20. they must have some big-time customers on Ask Slashdot: Should Hosting Companies Have Change Freezes? · · Score: 1

    major companies generally require a change standstill during holiday seasons, as well as certain accounting-rules critical times. so do outfits like the FAA, which for some ungodly reason doesn't want its comm channels flipping like fish at all hours of the day and night. some damn silliness about "life safety" or some other freakin nonsense.

    I work for a telco, and this is very very old hat to us. "why are our lines down, we have 30 planes stacked up for landing?" "uh, backhoe party on the front lawn ripped up all our stuff?" "you must get this up immediately, and we do NOT authorize any downtime to fix it!"

    I'll call the fairies in immediately. wish real hard.

  21. diagram the sentence in your mind on Thousands of Natural Gas Leaks Found In Boston · · Score: 1

    leaks is the object. 3300, and gas are modifiers to the object. natural is a modifier to gas.

    let's look at your work... THERE is a conjunctive, place as subject, check. ARE, passive tense of IS, verb, check. wait, what is HEY! SQUIRREL! doing in there?

  22. or, don't fix the leaks and say goodnight, Gracie on Thousands of Natural Gas Leaks Found In Boston · · Score: 1

    sounds like a BOOM! town to me.

  23. that's not a high-voltage fence. THIS is.... on High-Voltage Fences For Zapping Would-Be Copper Thieves · · Score: 1

    here in nothing-happens land, we had a case a couple years ago where a copper thief decided he was going to clean out a power substation.

    as in 110,000 volts on that line.

    there was enough to drag into court recently to send to jail for it. but as long as ignorant meth-heads can bring in saw-cut cable and get cash, they'll continue to strip fire stations and chain up fiber-optic ducts and try to roll full spools into the trunks of compact cars.

  24. nonsense, US has more oil than the Saudis on Global Warming On Pace For 4 Degrees: World Bank Worried · · Score: 1

    we can handle ourselves, and vacation in the oceanfront states of Utah, New Mexico, Tennessee, and Iowa. shame the Great Lakes got overrun, but hey, Marlin fishing in Wisconsin ain't bad.

  25. should be CFA not TSA on House Subcommittee Holds Hearing On TSA's "Scanner Shuffle" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the cluster fuck agency. seems they are consistently boorish, idiotic in rulemaking, inconsistent, and being called out as leaders in group comedy, instead of as an effective security force.
