  1. Re:My answer on Fighting TSA Harassment of Disabled Travelers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Then what are Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia,
    Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama?

    Yeah, where does he get off having a neurological condition rendering him unable to speak?

    That bastard.

  3. Re:WHERE IS NEWS FOR NERDS? on Fighting TSA Harassment of Disabled Travelers · · Score: 2

    Why does some idiot like yourself always make the comment "hurr durr, this isn't news for nerds".

    Even if it isn't "news for nerds" (and I don't see how it isn't), it's still "stuff that matters".

  4. Re:Obviously on We Should Be Allowed To Unlock Everything We Own · · Score: 1

    So buy the member companies.

    >I predict that Wi-Fi and other RF blockers will become much more popular

    Maybe more popular, still just as illegal.

  6. Re:Yeah, let's do that... on Smartest Light Bulbs Ever, Dumbest Idea Ever? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    > My router falls over roughly twice a week and needs rebooting.

    Then it's broken and needs to be replaced.

  7. Re:Not all Mass on Growing Consensus: The Higgs Boson Exists · · Score: 2

    So we couldn't lower the mass of a spaceship and accelerate it past light speed?

  8. Adjusting mass on Growing Consensus: The Higgs Boson Exists · · Score: 1

    If I understand this correctly, the Higgs is what gives particles their mass. Is there anyway we could influence them somehow to reduce the mass of a particle?

    Donate them to your local electronic recycling facility.

  12. No on SSH Password Gropers Are Now Trying High Ports · · Score: 2

    "You thought you had successfully avoided the tiresome password guessing bots groping at your SSH service by moving the service to a non-standard port?"

    No, because that's crappy "security".

    Denyhosts/fail2ban is a much better solution.

    Are we supposed to be surprised by this?

  14. Re:Correlation, Causation, blah blah on America's Real Criminal Element: Lead · · Score: 5, Funny

    http://xkcd.com/552/

    Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing 'look over there'.

    "without thinking about loadbalancing, multihoming and topology hiding at all."

    actually, they did think about it. Just because you are ignorant of a feature doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

    " Now every your device will be scanned for open ports and possibly exploited."

    Yeah, it's too bad firewalls don't exist.

    I'm not sure why it's DNS' fault you bought shitty hardware.

    http://www.startnetworks.info/2011/08/ipv6-and-ipv4-headers.html

    "Due to all these reasons, IPv6 headers are more efficient and less CPU intense to Routers than IPv4 headers. "

  20. Re:That's easy. on Worldwide IPv6 Adoption: Where Do We Stand Today? · · Score: 2

    Not really, you just track them by their IPv6 subnet prefix instead of their full IPv4 address
