  1. Who is calling who rogue here? on Canada May Lose Copyright Fair-Use Rights · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I guess it really depends on the perspective here but I think allowing people
    to make copies of Maria Carey's preovulation noises is one thing - killing
    and maiming millions of innocent civilians and bystanders all over the globe
    is another.

  2. Fuck you, your "honor". on Teacher Found Guilty of Endangering Kids Due to Spyware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    is that people are thrown into jail for 40 years just for accidentally displaying "pornography" to
    kids. I suppose it isn't really a "proper" thing to do but what I wonder would she get for
    flashing her tits to the class?

    10 years of solitary confinement on death row, breast amputation and then being flogged with rubber hoses to a
    bleeding pulp and hung from a construction crane??

  3. Plot element you can count on. on Shatner Leaks Trek XI Details · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Terrorism. There will be terrorists in the plot and I remember something about the series
    about clone and eugenics wars that early in "starfleet history". Of course it is pretty
    much left up to them what terrorist foe they will present on the screen, but it will
    certainly be in tune of current events.

    Those working towards a predictable population are just as predictable themselves.

  4. Okay so everybody is right... a little bit on Global Warming Only a Theory, Says School Board · · Score: 1

    we'll except maybe for the earth being just 14,000 years old ... anyway here goes

    1. Global warming caused by human inhabitation is indeed a theory
    2. There is a hell of a lot of opposition to that theory that needs to be heard
    3. Condoms don't belong in class (there's lunch recess for that)
    4. People like Al Gore should not be afforded a platform in public schools
    5. This planet will indeed be vaporized when the sun switches to helium fusion
    and turns into a red giant.

    Other than that this is another interesting piece of propaganda trying to wake indignation
    against questioning man-made global warming. Interesting because the spinmeisters used some pretty
    odd ingredients like a school-board doing the right thing with a christian kook
    thrown in for flavor.

  5. Weapons of mass gratification on Expensive U.S. Spy Satellite Not Working · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but you're watching way too much "24" and doing way to little thinking.

    By the same "logic", you fail to realize that Santa Claus has a base on the north pole
    where he stockpiles all the weapons of mass gratification aka christmas presents over the year..

    Just because you choose not to believe in Santa doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Most
    likely he took out that spy satellite so people can't find out in advance
    what they're getting for christmas.

    See how silly you are?

    As far as your increase of terrorism is concerned over the past 6 months, since the
    sheer act of speaking up and speaking out against this government counts as an act of
    "Terrorism".. you're right: Terrorism has increased substantially over the past 6 months.

  7. Really It depends and regarding true crapware... on Microsoft Worried OEM 'Craplets' Will Harm Vista · · Score: 1

    Yes and no and it depends on what you define "Operating System" is. If you think of OS in terms
    of the kernel and maybe some userland to configure and startup the system then Vista
    better be ready to take whatever abuse is coming its way from _user applications_ or it sucks.
    Note though that any OS is automatically excused if you muck things up with broken third party kernel drivers
    etc.

    If however you think the desktop, the internet browser and maybe even the mail application are part
    of the OS then you can't be helped. Desktops and for the most part modern applications are made to be
    extensible and if somebody decides to plug something into the desktop that takes away the focus from
    the text window you're typing into to display an advertising popup and crashes the desktop every
    ten minutes or so then that too isn't the fault of the "greater operating system".

    Looking at Microsoft's "Vista" specifically however, I can fully understand Microsoft's concern for crapware
    spoiling the "Vista Experience" (don't laugh) but they're conveniently forgetting all the DRM crapware
    they built into it. Expect an increase of dual boot systems as people offload their "premium content
    consumption" (their words) to more convenient operating systems.

  11. 100 x 1000s of kids killed each year, moron on Germany Searches Credit Cards For Child Porn Payments · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A couple hundred kids are stripped naked and photographed by
    child pornographers every year. Some are traumatized
    by rape and other degrading sexual acts. For the most part
    however they are fed and live to see adulthood.

    On the other hand _thousands_(!) of children are maimed or die
    from such mundane causes such as traffic and wars each year.
    'Guess how many Iraqi children died in the last years at the hands
    of US and our "allies", how many died from the arial bombing, land

    "Her" in this context is her avatar that is subjected to a (lame) parade of penises moving across the 3d scene in front of _it_. The way I see it, Graef should be the last person to turn to the state and its courts for enforcement .. unless she wants to really go Virtual=Real and pay _all_ the taxes in due on the "Lindendollars" she has accumulated.

    All wars are driven by spin. While we still have to settle for more earthly spin like the
    lies behind "The war on Drugs" or the "War on Terror", it appears that someone has
    declared the "War on Pulsars". Ludicrous as "War on Pulsars" sounds, it's just the sheer

    No honestly, I am into wireless technology like everybody else, I use mobile phones, I use
    bluetooth to connect that mobile phone to my notebook and I hava a wireless hotspot at
    home so I can sit outside without having to throw a ethernet line out the window.

    But ... I don't however carry my mobile on my body but keep it in briefcase. I also turn off all
    these other devices when I'm done using them.

    Somehow I don't think you can turn off the access point in those cars so you'll most likely
    be zapped at close range with a full watt 802.11 beacon frame from it ten times a second

    No, it isn't. Want to provide some proof? A study or something? Anything at all?

    Why don't you start with some of the Gatto books or listen to the man talk (He was a while featured on the Unwelcome Guests Radio Show and you can download previous shows from this site http://http//www.unwelcomeguests.org/). You will find that the history of public schooling is indeed an international effort going back to the Prussian class room (Heil Dir dem Siegerkranz) and their endeavors to create workers that could decipher written instructions but not really read and make connections.

    Oh but wait, you just told me "No that isn't so". Of course not. Since "Wikipedia rules" don't apply here and slashdot doesn't have a revert button, mind giving me something that backs up your claim?

    Look Mac, I know that this is from the Isle of the Kidney-Pie Eaters and Sun Readers

    from the Wunderbar Land of the Teuton Pork Sausage Eaters and Bild Readers you would have
    demanded a book called "Die Verdummung von Deutschland".

    Since you appear to have a chip on your shoulder let me round things off:

    Your masters are Germans, (Haus Sachsen-Coburg) and your national anthem is in fact
    a German hymn and that starts with "Heil Dir dem Siegerkranz".

    As far as the control paradigm perspective is concerned I can understand their position. For all practical purposes I think these "teachers" need to be closely examined and revealed for the dog-trainers towards conformity they really are. The road towards authoritarianism we're heading down is getting steeper by the day. If you're interested in the subject read John Taylor Gattos books on the dumbing down of America.

    With some strong smelling agent like chocolate this not really spectacular. In fact: it's lame.
    Other animals have far more sensational abilities to detect smells, dogs come to mind here but
    did you know that a bear's sense of smell is an amazing ten times more acute than in a dog.

    I owned a dog who was deaf but otherwise in perfect health. One day I had him off the leash and
    while he was looking the other way a rabbit ran across the road and disappeared into the fields.
    Had he seen it he would have given immediately given chase. A minute later he walked across the
    line on the road the rabbit had run past his nose picked up one or two molecules of rabbit sense
    and suddenly he yelped in surprise and gave chase. Now if humans could do _that_ then _that_
    would be news.

    As far as other animals sense of smell is concerned, I'll thrown in another piece of trivia while
    we're at it: A Bear's sense of is ten times as acute as that of a dog. Oh and don't think there's
    a tradeoff involved. They can hear far beyond the human frequency range and they have color vision
    and their eyes are considered at least as good as ours.
