  1. Re:or stop hiding... on Assange's Lawyers: Follow Swedish Law, Interrogate Him In the UK · · Score: 1

    There has been no extradition request for Knox yet, and even if one is issued there's every chance the US would not extradite because of double jeopardy. You can't be tried twice for the same crime under US law, and that is reflected in our extradition treaties.

  2. Re:Rand Paul is the only honest politician left. on Rand Paul Files Suit Against Obama Over NSA's Collection of Metadata · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, Obama is just like Bush, only he spends more which I never thought was possible. Palin would be like the worst of every President rolled into one then crossed with Jar Jar Binks.

  3. Re:UK invented HTTP. on ICANN's Cozy Relationship With the US Must End, Says EU · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Quenya.

  4. Re:Editing on Iconic Predator-Prey Study In Peril · · Score: 2

    Wrong. If they population leaves the study is concluded, and the fact that the population is gone is in and of itself meaningful data for said conclusion. It doesn't just end nor is it in peril, and artificially intervening as suggested makes any such study invalid.

  5. Re:Privacy? on How I Lost My Google Glass (and Regained Some Faith In Humanity) · · Score: 2

    Exactly. This is the part that made me laugh out loud:

    and the fear of the thought that the media connected to my Glass would possibly end up online, somewhere, cached forever in a Google search

    Yet you trust them in the first place to the point where you actually use Glass? Priceless.

  6. Re:Why gouv pay for it in the first place? on Oil Companies Secretly Got Paid Twice For Cleaning Up Toxic Fuel Leaks · · Score: 1

    Actually yes, in most cases FEMA will expect money back if they give assistance and insurance also pays out.

  7. Re:Why gouv pay for it in the first place? on Oil Companies Secretly Got Paid Twice For Cleaning Up Toxic Fuel Leaks · · Score: 1

    That does not explain the double dipping of being paid by the government then also collecting on insurance.

  8. Re:Chinese? on Foxconn Building Factories In Indonesia · · Score: 2

    By your logic then it is incorrect to call the People's Republic of China "China."

  9. Re:Chinese? on Foxconn Building Factories In Indonesia · · Score: 0

    You do know that the official name of Taiwan is 'The Republic of China' and that it's mostly comprised of ethnic Chinese, right? Apparently not...

  10. Hmmm what? on Reason To Hope Carriers Won't Win the War On Netflix · · Score: 1

    It's not Verizon, or if it is they aren't doing it to everyone. I get the same speed results hitting AWS anywhere that I get doing just about anything else. I pay Verizon for a 75 megabit FIOS connection that in reality usually does about 83, and that's what I just got hitting AWS East.

  11. Re:some security expert... on Online, You're Being Watched At All Times; Act Accordingly. · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Any security expert will tell you to assume that any system you are using, even your own, is compromised, whether it is or not and regardless of whatever steps have been taken to secure it.

    Source: I get paid tons of money to provide security consulting.

  12. Re: version 0.3.16. on Windows Replacement? ReactOS 0.3.16 Gets Themes, CSRSS Rewrite, and More · · Score: 2

    Windows will most likely always use a kernel and HAL based on the original NT model.

  13. Re:I work for an automotive telematic unit supplie on Dead Reckoning For Your Car Eliminates GPS Dead Zones · · Score: 2

    Why 3D? Because GPS provides your elevation and uses that as well as your XY coordinates to determine where you are, trip time, etc.

  14. Re:You think the GOP would require this of Big Pha on GOP Bill To Outlaw EPA 'Secret Science' That Is Not Transparent, Reproducible · · Score: 1

    Not a great analogy since Big Pharma are not government agencies. Now if you'd said the FDA then I'd agree.

  15. Re:Council Money Well Spent on UK Council To Send Obese People 'Motivational' Texts Telling Them To Use Stairs · · Score: 1

    Funny, that's not what your wife said.

  16. Re: beta.slashdot.org on NBC News Confuses the World About Cyber-Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A boycott would be people not using /. at all. At best all the complaining and 'fuck beta' posts are unproductive protests.

  17. Re:Fuckbeta on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    At first I didn't hate it, but then I tried to, and actually did reply to a few comments, and WTF they've broken the discussion system? Also I can't see anyone's userid# damnit, what's the point in having a low six digit userid# if I can't subtly flaunt it? Really...
    Also hotgrits and natalie portman.

    Pouring hot grits over a petrified Natalie Portman. Dang you six digit kids.

  18. Re:GCHQ: "Hey guys.. DDoS attacks are illegal!" on Britain's GCHQ Attacked Anonymous Supporters With DDoS · · Score: 1

    I didn't say it was right or wrong. It just is.

  19. Re:GCHQ: "Hey guys.. DDoS attacks are illegal!" on Britain's GCHQ Attacked Anonymous Supporters With DDoS · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's illegal in most places for private citizens to lob military grade ordinance around, but not for Governments.

    How about you read the article instead of talking out of your ass?

    You must be new here.

    I don't know what country you're talking about, but in the US one is innocent until proven guilty in Federal court just the same as in State or local courts.

    Why, yes. Yes I am.

    You should stop feeding the trolls. It's making them fat.

    You make it sound like people need gyms to exercise. They don't. You don't even need any special gear at all.

    I'm sorry but he lost me at 'getting young women.' I didn't really register anything after that.
