  1. Re:GCHQ is incompetent on Man Jailed For Refusing To Reveal USB Password · · Score: 1

    If it's something like an Ironkey, it can be set to destroy the data after a number of failed attempts.

  2. Re:What's an attack? on Israeli Infrastructure Proves Too Strong For Anonymous · · Score: 1

    I was using it more as a descriptive word, and because it simplifies the sentence.

  3. What's an attack? on Israeli Infrastructure Proves Too Strong For Anonymous · · Score: 1

    I'm sure every ping on a port scan counts as a failed attack here.

  4. Re:Good reason for it to be illegal on Pull Lever, Don't Snap Shutter: It May Be Illegal To Post Your Ballot · · Score: 1

    I should be allowed to sell my vote.

  5. Re:Real Coders Need a Union, or a Guild, or Someth on Why Non-Coders Shouldn't Write Code · · Score: 1

    Then everyone will think they _can_ code. Sort of like everyone who's ever made a web page for a class thinks they're a computer programmer.

  6. Re:"Several Guns Were Found"? on Calif. Man Arrested For ESPN Post On Killing Kids · · Score: 2

    And somehow that is more relevant than actually quoting what he said. For all I know, they arrested him because his post "had nothing to do with sports."

  7. Re:Ermahgerd 1984! on Calif. Man Arrested For ESPN Post On Killing Kids · · Score: 1

    ...take out the next chav...

    That's awful nice of you to treat them to dinner.

  8. Re:Handcuffs... on Hackers Hack Handcuffs at H.O.P.E. (Video) · · Score: 1

    I remember, as I perused the promissory note, I was told I would get a copy so I could read it later. Fat lot of good that does me AFTER I sign it.

  9. When you put it that way... on Could You Hack Into Mars Curiosity Rover? · · Score: 5, Funny

    All you would need is your own massive 230-foot dish antenna and a 400-kilowatt transmitter

    In that case, yes. Yes, I could.

  10. Re:Internet Answers on Could Cops Use Google As Pre-Cogs? · · Score: 1

    By "pulling it off" I meant, "actually managed to kill someone." Probably not the best phrase, but I didn't get as far as even considering them getting away with it.

  11. Internet Answers on Could Cops Use Google As Pre-Cogs? · · Score: 1

    Imagine some of the answers they found to those questions on Yahoo. I can't believe they pulled it off after asking the Internet.

  12. Re:great, about a billion game addons coming out f on ZeroTouch Sensor: Ready For Large Televisions and Gaming · · Score: 4, Funny

    Excellent!

  13. Re:FBI on Counterterrorism Agents Were Told They Could Suspend the Law · · Score: 1

    sometimes the individual must be sacrificed for the greater good.

    The greater good.

  14. Explanation on 10 Ways To Celebrate Pi Day · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Based on the mathematical constant number that represents the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle"

    In case you're reading slashdot and don't know what pi is.

  15. Re:Did they adjust for crazy? on Those Sleeping Pills May Be Killing You · · Score: 2

    No need. As it turns out, taking sleeping pills increases your odds of getting hit by a bus.

  16. Re:I cringed when I saw the trailers on Advertisers Co-Opting The Lorax With Half-Truths About Conservation · · Score: 1

    It looks like they changed the Lorax' character. The previews show him acting more like the Cat in the Hat.

  17. Re:I was not expecting that... on Police Find Apple Branded Stoves In China · · Score: 2

    Technically, they're Apple police, branded to look like they work for China.

  18. Re:I call bullshit on Interrupted Sleep Might Be the Best Kind · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Your situation might be different, but I figured out you just let them sleep. They'll come around on the eating. It's easy to get caught up in the science and numbers and forget they're critters, not machines.

  19. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 1

    Kudos. This is a good explanation.

  20. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I see. So he might as well have warned them that they would be given a ride in a helicopter if they ate the fruit, for all their understanding of the matter.

  21. Re:Genesis 6:3 on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I've had days that last a hundred and twenty years.

  22. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 1

    Should have waited for zero day after the Flood Patch.

  23. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: -1, Troll

    But not on the day he ate the fruit, like the Lord said he would.

  24. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 1

    Yes, he said Adam would die on the day he ate the fruit.

  25. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 2

    But He told Adam that if he ate the fruit that on that day he would surely die. And... he didn't. He lived to be like 930.
