  1. Re:Backups are not secure on Backblaze's 6 TB Hard Drive Face-Off · · Score: 1

    no, really, not enough said.

    do you have a problem with giving vendors your private key? what problem would that be?

    they're a US company -- does that engender trust or suspicion?

  2. lazy cops on Federal Court Nixes Weeks of Warrantless Video Surveillance · · Score: 2

    It is very rare that judges do not approve requests for warrants from police departments. The fact that they did what they did without going through the proper channels proves that they're lazy.This guy Vargas is a drug-dealing asshole, and he should hang. Police laziness means he gets to walk. That's not a Christmas gift - that's a lump of coal.

  3. what's heavier? a ton of wood or a ton of concrete on LA Mayor Proposes Earthquake Retrofits On Thousands of Buildings · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have a concrete building collapse on me instead of a wooden building

  4. Tesla should come to Indiana on Tesla Wants Texas Auto Sales Regulations Loosened · · Score: 1

    While I'm sure Tesla would face the same kind of stupid auto dealer protectionism in any state where they do business, I wish they'd come to Indiana, which has a great deal of experience building RV's.If they took hold of a midwestern state, it would have a greater positive impact on the region than down in Texas.

  5. shouldn't this apply to software too? on Economist: US Congress Should Hack Digital Millennium Copyright Act · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If I buy software, shouldn't I have the right to modify it? But I bet most software LICENSES have wording that says I cannot.

  6. Re:Can we hold the froth first? on Apple Accused of Deleting Songs From iPods Without Users' Knowledge · · Score: 1

    I miss MyMP3.com. It was the best service for sharing MY songs from MY cd's across all MY computers. Fuck the major record labels.

    by safely protecting consumers from purchasing songs for less money elsewhere

  8. Re:There is a relocation shortage on Researchers Say the Tech Worker Shortage Doesn't Really Exist · · Score: 1

    It's not just tech companies who need tech workers. Many companies outside of tech need tech workers. And those companies can be located anywhere.

    The problem is the cost of living is so high in tech areas like the SF Bay that intelligent workers REQUIRE higher pay. Then in backwards states like Indiana, where tech workers are not respected in the least, pay is worse than factory workers and the governor prefers to outsource the state's unemployment database work to India, claiming there's no money for job training in the state budget.

  9. Re:It is too bad that we did not learn from doctor on Researchers Say the Tech Worker Shortage Doesn't Really Exist · · Score: 1

    Technical Licensing is generally a scam devoted to earning more money for Microsoft and Cisco and others. It has very little to do with guaranteeing the quality of the tech help that you hire.

  10. Re:Sure on Researchers Say the Tech Worker Shortage Doesn't Really Exist · · Score: 1

    Our company outsources HR because they do not value what HR does. They can get it cheaper, but workers don't have access to an HR person on site to discuss workplace issues. Emails can be forwarded, so there's no sense of employee-HR discretion.

  11. David Cameron is a two fisted wanker on Cameron Accuses Internet Companies Of Giving Terrorists Safe Haven · · Score: 2

    you know who the real terrorists were? Bush & Cheney, Rumsfeld & Rice, and their manservant Tony Blair. Waging an illegal and immoral war against the sovereign nation of Iraq, they bombed innocent civilians and encouraged the spread of terrorism which did not exist under the iron fist of Saddam Hussein. by ignoring history and not understanding the dangers of a power vacuum, they fucked up the middle east and made all of us less safe.

    so David Cameron, shut your pie hole.

  14. more power on Intel Planning Thumb-Sized PCs For Next Year · · Score: 1

    great to make tiny pc's but that doesn't help those of us who want more computing power.

  15. a time capsule is a stupid idea on Lunar Mission One Proposes To Take Core Sample, Plant Time Capsule On the Moon · · Score: 2

    if you're going to spend money bringing something to the moon, it should be nanobots that self-assemble a moon base.

  16. Re:Toronto Municipal Gov't divided on City of Toronto Files Court Injunction Against Uber · · Score: 1

    a valid drivers license for personal use, or a valid drivers license for business use? in the states we have a special test and license procedure for this practice called a CDL (commercial drivers license) which is required if you're carrying cargo or passengers for a fee.

    it's more unrealistic for men to have massive silicon filled breasts.

    but hey people, we're talking about GAMES which are by nature FANTASY. maybe the swiss want men to have massive silicon filled breasts. no judging.

  22. Re:Whoa whoa whoa on Sweden Considers Adding "Sexism" Ratings To Video Games · · Score: 1

    except in cases where female soldiers share responsibility with men, and get blown up in war. we should see if the women killed in iraquistan had the same positions, or if they were just contractors / cooks etc.

  23. Re:Be a man on Sweden Considers Adding "Sexism" Ratings To Video Games · · Score: 1

    Also, being a pussy is a bad way for a man to behave, since women are attracted to alpha types. that's biology talking, not the voice of reason.

  24. leave it to the swiss to confuse children on Sweden Considers Adding "Sexism" Ratings To Video Games · · Score: 1

    all this anti-CIS rage has got to go somewhere, right? let's confuse kids about their sexuality, just like every person I've met from Switzerland.

  25. too little, many years too late on Microsoft Aims To Offer Windows 10 Upgrades For All Windows Phone 8 Lumias · · Score: 0

    i had a windows 6 mobile phone with a start menu. it was a great phone to type on, as it had a real keyboard. i also liked having EXCEL on my phone as i could keep a list of supplies and prices to help me make purchase decisions. but it was slow so i moved to android, then the iphone. none of my phones took upgrades until i moved to the iOS platform. so while i acknowledge it's a good idea for microsoft to offer windows 10 to existing windows 8 phone users, they didn't make an upgrade path from 6>6.5, from 6.5>7, or from 7>8. And the carriers don't make it easy to upgrade Android, either. So nuts to them, I'm happy in my walled garden.
