  1. Re:Stupid on Rackspace Shuts Down Quran-Burning Church's Sites · · Score: 2, Informative

    That is really what we have. Section 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code gives the details. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p557/ch03.html

  2. Re:Isn't this search.yahoo.com? on Google Instant Announced · · Score: 2, Funny

    Remember that "Do you Yahoo?" commercial.

    It turns out the answer is "No".

  3. Re:So, does IBM license by the Core? on IBM Unveils Fastest Microprocessor Ever · · Score: 1

    I take it you've never licensed an AS/400 (aka iSeries) box.

  4. Re:Not impressed unless... on Sorting Algorithm Breaks Giga-Sort Barrier, With GPUs · · Score: 1

    A Benny Hill skit is the first thing that pops to mind.

    Theme music here, for those too young to remember. (URL:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6TXMsvgQg)

    And some animals.

    Just HAD to toss that bit in, didn't you? :-)

  6. Re:Character assasination in progress on Julian Assange Faces Rape Investigation In Sweden — Updated · · Score: 1

    Ummm...no.

    Assange is famous for being difficult to find, hard to contact, and for disappearing for days or weeks at a time. The Swedish police were looking for him and couldn't find him. His lawyer has, in the past, not known where he is, etc. He is the PERFECT person to assassinate. Just grab him, tie some cinder blocks to his feet and drop him in the middle of the nearest ocean. Then pretend to be looking for him.

  7. Re:inflaton? on Inflaton, Mother of the Universe · · Score: 1

    There might or might not be a $20 bill in my wallet; I won't know for certain until I look for it?

    From this information I can infer you are married.

    You've been thru a Sharepoint deployment, too?

  9. Re:W00t on KDE 4.5 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You don't game much, do you?

    Game sounds go thru speakers. VoIP (TeamSpeak or in-game) go thru headset. At night, when people are sleeping, both sets of sound go thru headset.

  10. Re:So who will be the next China? on China To Close 2,000 Factories In Energy Crackdown · · Score: 1

    You forgot to mention the EPA, OSHA, FCC and other U.S. governmental agencies that have the power to pretty much the same thing, if they had the inclination.

  11. Re:Yeah, but where does this get ME? on Abandon Earth Or Die, Warns Hawking · · Score: 2, Funny

    Will you give something to the future, or will you just be another leech?

    Does one hell of a mess to clean up and having them pick up the tab count?

  12. Re:I Guess I Don't Exist Then ... on Why Wave Failed · · Score: 1, Funny

    Well, I guess I don't exist then.

    I knew it! You're a bot, aren't you?

    Grannies, fine. But no MILFs? Straight to jail-bait? What is WRONG with these people!? Oh, wait.

    DHS has a cut-off age of 20? Damn picky, aren't they.

  15. Re:Again they miss the point... on Barnes and Noble Bookstore Chain Put In Play · · Score: 1, Troll

    But honestly, if it wasn't for IsoHunt, would you have really spent the $150 or just done without? You acquired them because they were free and easy. If you *had* to pay, odds are you would have either gotten fewer or none at all.

  16. Re:Let me tell you... on Barnes and Noble Bookstore Chain Put In Play · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here's the link on how to crack the DRM on the ePubs that Barnes and Nobel delivers their eBooks in, if you buy one.

  17. Re:50% conversion! on Stanford's New Solar Tech Harnesses Heat, Light · · Score: 2, Funny

    o still not practical for home roof top deployment. Most people will not want 800C )or anything close) on their roof tops even if it was light and portable.

    Are you kidding? Add a couple of rotating mirrors and market it as a death ray. Rabbits getting into your garden? Neighbor's dog crapping on your lawn? Reflect that beam spot around and *poof*, no more problem!

  18. Re:Sick of Political Correctness on Dept. of Justice Considers Web For ADA · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Uh, there is a braille version of Playboy. Issues of Playboy printed in braille have been published by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped since 1970.

  21. Re:TFA focus isn't just encryption... on Open Source GSM Cracking Software Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    These have been sold in kits for a few years now. Google "micro cell". You can uplink them to a voip gateway and plop down your own tower on the cheap. Popular for conferences and things like that.

  22. Re:Well FUCKING A THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR ALL on Open Source GSM Cracking Software Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    The gov't doesn't have to crack the encryption, they're given a back door by the telcos. This is not only happening today, it has been happening for many years.

    Google CALEA for one of the more recent incarnations.

  23. Re:Bigotry in any form is an ugly thing on Airlines Get Billions From Unbundled Services · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...but it still comes off as pretty stupid on a site filled with otherwise intelligent people.

    I was with you until right there. Are you referring to Slashdot, or did I miss something? Honestly?

  24. Re:Maybe not the only one on IEEE Looks At Kevin Costner's Oil Cleanup Machines · · Score: 4, Informative

    A corporation's only goal is to maximize profit

    That just flat out is NOT true. I wish people would stop regurgitating that on slashdot.

    Corporations can and do have other purposes and goals than just "enhancing shareholder value".

    This is an excellent summation of what I'm talking about. PDF link.

  25. The question is... on WISE Discovers 95 New Near-Earth Asteroids · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The question is, would they tell us -- the general public -- if any of them were a real threat?
