  1. Snow forecast in the middle of winter, shock news on "Mammoth Snow Storm" Underwhelms · · Score: 1

    the predicted amounts of snow is normal service in the mountains and they cope just fine, schools stay open when it dumps 1m of snow in the alps. yet with less than that predicted the people of the USA had driving on a road turned into a crime, public services closed down and mass panic spread via the propoganda wing of the gouverment. bravo.

  2. best troll artticle of the day on Ask Slashdot: Where Can You Get a Good 3-Button Mouse Today? · · Score: 1

    Yay so you are put out that mice have 10+ buttons these days, well done you have the most replies to a topic on the front page, and for why? Because you can't handle change and embrace the much more useful modern mice designs and all their dizzying functions by retraining yourself to use your "ring finger" for right click and your thumb for everything else. Behold this persons inability to learn a new skill. bravo, we should hold you aloft.

    go edit wiki then, it's all guess work measuremments anyway. they don't even know how big the solor system is yet as they keep finding new things orbiting the sun further out.

  4. Re:anything has to be better than beyond earth on Sid Meier's New Game Is About Starships · · Score: 1

    bought BE on a preorder as civV was so much fun, but found BE just a poor change of units mod for civV. gone back to playing civV again as it's better than BE. after wasting money on a game that doesn't get played, really thinking twice before buying another title in there lineup any time soon.

  6. Re:must be bust... on Washington DC's Public Library Will Teach People How To Avoid the NSA · · Score: 1

    of course the NSA (and any other gov' dept' they share intel' with) have got a way to monitor the tor users now. protect everything with the use of encryption on every digital thing you own. gov's hate encryption, use as much as you can!

  8. but pointing camara at police = death on Federal Court Nixes Weeks of Warrantless Video Surveillance · · Score: 1

    like the yanks spying on anything legally is ever going to happen. they don't care about laws, they just care about bending them enough to get their own way. simple citizens pointing cameras at police and legally filming them doing their job (well or poorly) seems to get guns pointed at people and the cops taking the law into their own hands and removing data from devices etc. even when a film comes out of a copper breaking the law, they never get done for it. waaay to protectionist for that. one rule for them and another for the rest of us.

  9. Re:What? on Federal Court Nixes Weeks of Warrantless Video Surveillance · · Score: 1

    best let them all in then, what's the point in trying eh?

  10. So film even more on Once Again, Baltimore Police Arrest a Person For Recording Them · · Score: 1

    If there are people filming the people filming the police, then everyone can use this to help each other. That or if there is just one person filming, lock the phone and refuse to unlock it. maybe even leaving the device recording while you argue your case for not handing over legally owned and used personal equipment. 50 utube vids a day of officers doing it will soon bring about a change in the way the police tackle the problem. prob' just end up shooting people who film them and then say they thought that the person was endangering the police or something like that. Best order some popcorn, sit back and wait for another American revolution to kick off

  11. Re:Total Surveillance in the UK on British 'Porn Filter' Blocks Access To Chaos Computer Club · · Score: 1

    having installed lamp posts since 2006, can tell you now that most of them have no camera equipment at all. don't do too much in london the area may be a little different but even then the cameras are easy to spot and are not integraded into the lights. that isn't to say that the hidden style don't exist but they are not even close to the norm and most streets (out side of town centres or main roads) don't have any cameras at all. tracking the rfid tags in tyres.. while maybe possible, the range of any logging hardware is extremely limited with little deployment. plus you'd have to know the rfid tags of that car/van to track it (though cross ref with cctv could help). they might use it as cross ref data from cctv when trying to prove a vehicle had been someone where, after the fact. there just isn't enough readers to track anything very far. leave any main road and there is nothing, prob not even cctv. ouside of the 3 biggest citys and you'd be hard pushed to even find any hardware. tracking the drivers GPRS data connections is much easier. as are ANPR cams. i'm not for surveillance and living in the most watch country in the world the last thing we need is more. but the number of times something happens in an area where there is no cctv, is just mad. it is anything but total coverage.

  12. Re:$24m over 10 years, so what? on US Treasury Dept: Banks Should Block Tor Nodes · · Score: 1

    err yeah Tor started in 2002. my bad. still it's tiny money and nothing to worry about.

  13. $24m over 10 years, so what? on US Treasury Dept: Banks Should Block Tor Nodes · · Score: 1

    So has Tor been around 10 years yet? (honestly too lazy to look it up, but don't think so) I'm sure $2.4m a year is less money than gets stolen from chip and pin cards, this is blatant NSA anti-public-privacy nonesense. There is prob more money stolen from people digging out cash machines and dragging them off into the night.
