  1. Re:Bad News for Snowden!!! on The Intercept Shuts Down Access To Snowden Trove (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    Who would give the order? Who would carry it out?

    Not saying that the parent poster is right about this, but usually when you need to kill an American citizen without trial drones are pretty handy.

  2. Re:The privacy alarm isn't sounding on Facebook's Plan To Merge WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger Sounds a Privacy Alarm (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Some people are pretty good at dismissing that as background noise.

  3. Re:Really shouldn't blame Solo on Is Disney's Star Wars Franchise In Trouble? (cosmicbook.news) · · Score: 1

    I skipped Solo on theaters because the reviews were horrible, but it's available on Netflix now, so I gave it a go a couple of days ago. It's nothing amazing, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I guess approaching it without any expectation is the key.

  4. Re:WordPress requires professional administration on WordPress Auto-Update Server Had Flaw Allowing Persistent Backdoors In Websites (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    And if you want to play with something a bit more technical, I would recommend Pelican. As creimer said above: static is the way to go for a lot of people. You write your posts in markdown, then compile to HTML, then upload to your hosting. No database, no management, no worries, no patching.

  5. Shit on Lucas Researching Concept For New Indiana Jones Film · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The franchise really depends on me coming up with a good idea

    We're fucked.

  6. Re:First on Microsoft IM Blocking YouTube Links · · Score: 1

    I tried this myself a few minutes ago and it failed.

    But if a commenter on Slashdot says it's false, it MUST be false.

  7. Re:How ironic... on Huge Interest Brings Wikileaks Offline · · Score: 1

    To avoid melting servers, I've been distributing the magnet URI for a copy of the video (in English).

  8. Cool on YouTube Set To Filter Content · · Score: 1

    So, if I wanted to do my own Creative Commons-licensed video series (or whatever I could post to Youtube), I would face a lot less competition.

    I say, go ahead.

  9. Might be troublesome in some places on Tech Toys Dominate Toy Fair 2007 · · Score: 4, Funny

    An CNN Money article previews the Hot Toys for 2007 from this past week's Toy Fair.

    Article not available for Alabama readers.

  10. Not a good argument on Pluto Decision Meets with Frustration · · Score: 1

    "Long ago I learned the Earth was flat and I see no reason to unlearn it. Why should I?"

  11. Value? on Metcalfe's Law Refutation Explained · · Score: 3, Funny

    So... what are the units of the result? Dollars? Web 2.0 beta credits?

  12. Re:Demand a refund. on U.K. Group Wants DRM'd Media Labeled · · Score: 1

    NB. Is the new Slashdot CSS for myopic people? I'm sure everything is now 30% bigger?

    You kidding? The print is much smaller now, I have to tell Firefox to make it bigger in order to read it without having to get my face closer to the screen.

  13. No digg on Web 2.0 As A New Wave of Innovation? · · Score: 1

    Contains 'web 2.0', no digg. Eeer... wait.

  14. Nice, but... on Word 2007 to Feature Built-in Blogging · · Score: 1

    I want this feature implemented in the next Power Point version. I can't wait to share my pony slides with my friends!!! OMG!!!!!

  15. Re:Too funny.. on New Disclaimer for the Internet · · Score: 1

    Check one: [ ] Agree

    Lucky you. Mine was already checked by the time I read it.

  16. Re:Everyone - Attention on El Reg Says Google Choking on Spam Sites · · Score: 1

    There's nothing wrong with anonymous commenting in WordPress. I allow anonymous comments in my blog, in the sense that you're not required to register in order to leave a comment.

    What really hurts are WordPress installations that allow any kind of comment and don't have a working anti-spam system. I personally use Spam Karma 2 and my blog is spam-free.

  17. Incredimail on More Than 20 Years of the Web on the Big Screen · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You click "send" and the entire document begins to fold into an envelope and disappear into the screen. I tend to send around 300 to 400 emails a day, and that would drive me insane.

    The client for insane nuts. A teacher of mine at the university used this one. And yes, he was completely out of his mind.

  18. Cool... on Silicon Valley Firms Having Cash Showers · · Score: 1

    It's the bubble all over again. It's just that now it's "Bubble 2.0 beta" and it uses AJAX.

  19. New episodes are so bad nowadays... on Behind the Scenes of The Simpsons · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... they're not worth the download anymore.

  20. Re:uhh on Is the Earth in a Vortex of Space-Time? · · Score: 1

    Are you on crack!? The earth is stationary. It is the sun that's moving.

    Only in Kansas.

  21. Podcast? on Windows Vista To Come In 7 Flavors · · Score: 1

    You, sir, will surely mean blogcast.

  22. Re:Encryption support? on Google Talk Claims Openness, Lacks S2S Support · · Score: 1

    If you use Gaim (and several other clients, but that's the one I use) there's a very nice plugin called Off-the-Record Messaging that allows you to encrypt your communications, no matter which protocol you are using (MSN, Jabber, Yahoo... you name it).

  23. Re:I look forward to the day... on Judge Denies TigerDirect's Request for Injunction · · Score: 1

    That's full of (C)s, (R)s and (TM)s.

  24. Re:Ahh... on Time Travelers' Convention · · Score: 3, Funny

    I mean, if I claim that I have invisible aliens called Dvutels living in my attic, who only communicate with me, and only telepathically

    You can call that religion an earn serious cash.

  25. Re:Most Important Ever? on 'Most Important Ever' MySQL Reaches Beta · · Score: 2, Funny

    A todos lectores hispanos: siento por haberte ofendido y defamado la lengua

    Don't worry. Bush does that all the time.
