  1. Re:Populist security sense? on B&N Pulls Linux Format Magazine Over Feature On 'Hacking' · · Score: 2

    Racist...

  2. Still there on B&N Pulls Linux Format Magazine Over Feature On 'Hacking' · · Score: 2
  3. No, that one will be on Code Name, Theming Update Announced For Ubuntu 12.10 · · Score: 1

    Zoonotic Zebra, for the cross-platform infectability it will provide.

  4. Re:free tibet on India Test Fires Long-Range, Nuke-Capable Missile · · Score: 1

    The iron fisted oppressive dictatorial rule of the Dalai Lama ???
    That's exactly what they (claim) they liberated Tibet from. Not that it needed liberating, since it's part of China and always has been.

  5. Sun has advice columnists? on Sun Advice Columnist Advised MPs On UK Porn-Block Plans · · Score: 1

    I suppose, if you want to censor the net, a networking company like Sun is the one to go to. But their advice columnist doesn't seem very, well, technically oriented.

  6. I work in Westfields, off of Rt 28 on NASA Shuttle Discovery Set To Buzz Washington, DC · · Score: 1

    Gotta remember to bring the camera in next Tuesday, we're right under the landing path for Dulles..

  7. The laws that established the Census go way back on Confidentiality Expires For 1940 Census Records · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's in the Constitution.

  8. Sounds like my ex-girlfriend on Japanese Tsunami Ghost Ship Spotted Off Canadian Coast · · Score: 1

    Marie. Marie Celeste.

  9. An article on gambling on Blackjack Player Breaks the Bank At Atlantic City · · Score: 1

    And no one mentions The Eudaemonic Pie?

  10. Re:Or just a few decades on Satellites Expose 8,000 Years of Civilization · · Score: 1

    Many times the old roadbed is perfect for trails, such as the W&OD trail or the Capital Crescent Trail. Others get repurposed as roads, like Old Dominion Drive.

  11. Re:Reign in Israel? on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 2

    Heh. Well, that does change the meaning just a bit... Damn homonyms.

  12. Reign in Israel? on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 2

    Right. Because invading a country with ICBMs will work out so much better.

  13. A truly ribbeting story on New Frog Species Found In NYC · · Score: 4, Funny

    Everyone should hop on over and read it.

  14. Verizon is CDMA on Ask Slashdot: Who Has the Best 3G Coverage In California and Nevada? · · Score: 1

    No SIM card. That said, as long as you stay near I-15 or in town it's pretty good. Off the freeway and away from towns there's little reception, whatever the maps say.

  15. 3 year note. on Have Bad Cars Gone Extinct? · · Score: 1

    3 year payoff, anyway. Figure another 150/month or so. Too much for me.

  16. That's why I bought on Have Bad Cars Gone Extinct? · · Score: 1

    A Chevy Cruze Eco. 40+MPG highway, 35 around town. Seats 4, and the rear seat isn't just decorative.

    If I'd had another 5 grand I'd've gotten a VW Golf TDI.

  17. At least he admits on Santorum Calls Democrats 'Anti-Science' · · Score: 1

    that Obama isn't quite as bad as Hitler.
    http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/02/santorums-doomsday-warning-voters/

    To be fair, Obama hasn't gassed 6 million minorities. Yet.

  18. Re:Not only... on Did North Korea Conduct Secret Nuclear Tests? · · Score: 1

    So he's MacGyver?

  19. Re:Great engineering! on Mars Rover Opportunity Turns 8 · · Score: 1

    My 24" iMac is doing pretty well and it's 5 years old.

  20. Re:So, why is it called Windows, then? on Windows Admins Need To Prepare For GUI-Less Server · · Score: 1

    System VIII R1

  21. First, it's patents, not copyrights. on Kodak Sues HTC and Apple · · Score: 1

    Second, Kodak is a company that can actually claim to have developed real, patentable products in the imaging arena. One of the few such companies, actually.

  22. Throw poop at a IUD until it was deactivated? on Researchers Create First Genetically Modified Monkeys · · Score: 1

    I think I saw that video on vchan.org/hc

  23. suddenly this is an insufficient model on AP and 28 News Groups To Collect Fees From Aggregators · · Score: 1

    you might want to read some of Clay Shirky's work because, guess what, the old model is suddenly insufficient.

  24. Re:Get a dog? on Ask Slashdot: Protecting Tech Gear From Smash-and-Grab Theft? · · Score: 1

    That's cruel. And funny.

  25. living in the mid-west etc. greatly reduces on Oklahoma Hit By Its Strongest-Ever Recorded Quake · · Score: 1

    Look up "New Madrid Fault"...
