    ... I don't think there's going to be a single serious comment in this thread.

    Pandora is the owner of the box, she wasn't what came out of it.

  6. Re:Fascinating on HIV Transmission Captured On Video · · Score: 5, Informative

    > Roxx, on learning about James being HIV-positive, said, "It totally made me realize how I trusted this system that wasn't to be trusted at all, because it obviously doesn't work," and "I thought porn people were the cleanest people in the world."

    "The system" in this case is inherently flawed.

    After initial HIV infection, it can take up to six months for someone to start producing HIV antibodies (seroconvert). And unfortunately, most HIV tests don't check for viral load, but check for the presence of antibodies.

    So basically, you have a window period of up to six months where you are contagious but will come up negative on tests.

    Who needs directions? It's literally right down the street from RayJay. :P

    And yet you're posting as AC. :p

  10. How ironic it would be on Diskeeper Accused of Scientology Indoctrination · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How ironic it would be if the guy who attributes his success to Scientology, kills his company's sales through forcing it to be taught to his employees. ;p

  11. Re:It doesn't work like that. on Diskeeper Accused of Scientology Indoctrination · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As one of my professors loved to say:

    You can fire someone for no reason, but you can't fire them for the wrong reason.

  12. Re:Bribed to NOT Give prize to Chinese Dissidents on Nobel Jurors Facing Bribery Probe · · Score: 1

    Minor nitpick: Ahtisaari is Finnish, not Norwegian.

    Erm...

    This may be one of those US/English things, but where I come from, "dike" and "dyke" mean two different things. ;p

    ELTs aren't triggered manually - they activate if they're jolted hard enough. (Most ELT activations are false alarms.)

  18. Re:In Soviet USA on US Warns Olympic Visitors of Chinese Cyber-Spying · · Score: 1

    In the past three months I've encountered some increasingly sophisticated attacks on web servers, all in the name of getting specific scripts in front of very specific visiting users, all so that their browsers will run off to a laundry list of Chinese IP addresses and slurp up Trojan-installing malware that in turn sniffs keystrokes and piles up local files system objects into ZIP files that are then sent to OTHER Chinese IP addresses.

    Ah, you read the World of Warcraft forums too?

  19. Re:seriously... is anyone suprised by this? on IOC Admits Internet Censorship Deal With China · · Score: 1

    And then what are they going to do with all the manufactured products they made to export?

  20. Gotta love the IOC on IOC Admits Internet Censorship Deal With China · · Score: 1

    When China opts to censor Internet access, the IOC wrings its hands and thoroughly "regrets" it... but they don't dare, you know, actually *do* anything about it.

    When Iraq dissolves their national Olympic committee (alleging corruption), the IOC is outraged and bans the country from participating. (They weren't nearly as outraged, for some reason, when the Husseins oversaw Iraq's Olympic representation and tortured athletes who failed to perform up to expectations.) I realize they've since lifted the ban, but the fact that they ever placed it is a travesty.

    I, for one, refuse to support the current hypocrisy that is the Olympics.

  21. RMS, lol on Stallman Attacks Gates, Microsoft, & Charity Foundation · · Score: 1

    Tell me, what magnanimous acts of philanthropy has RMS performed lately?

    He might be a skilled programmer, but as far as his ideas go... he's got so many stars in his eyes that he's completely lost touch (if he ever had it) with the real world.

  22. And this made it to Slashdot, how? on The Effects of Censorship — a Tale of Two Websites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The "article" is nothing more than a message board post on one of the sites in question, by one of the site's administrators, loudly proclaiming how much better they are than the other site because they don't "censor" people. Oh, and it was submitted by an AC.

    Call me cynical, but I'm not seeing the news here, just a sly attempt at advertising.

  23. Impressive editorializing on US House Rejects Telecom Amnesty · · Score: 1

    That is, by far, one of the most impressively biased summaries I've ever read.

    I'm seeing a lot of "Anonymous says" in the comments... is Anonymous going to war with the DHS as well?
