  1. Only terrorists use anonymous posts on Slashdot Mentioned In Virginia Terrorism Report · · Score: 1

    So anywhere you can be anonymous must be stamped out. in the name of fighting terrorism.

    Open wifi, not keeping weblogs, ISPs not keeping logs forever... you get the idea.

    Need a national registrar of mac addresses ( ok, i know they can be spoofed, but has reality ever got in the way before? )

  2. Don't forget.. on FCC Seeks To Improve US Broadband Access · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To eliminate bandwidth caps.

    Doesn't do much good to have it if you cant use it.

  3. Say good by to their OSS initiatives on What If Oracle Bought Sun Microsystems? · · Score: 1

    They will either close or shut down projects like Openoffice, NetBeans, Java, Open Solaris, Open Sparc. ( and other smaller projects )

    It would be a sad day.

    Better download what source you can and fork the projects before it all becomes extinct.

  4. Accidental Death? on Researcher's Death Hampers TCP Flaw Fix · · Score: 3, Funny

    Or was he silenced?

  5. Sales Numbers on XP Reprieve, Downgrade May Continue After Win7 · · Score: 1

    So will they count a sale of windows 7 that is downgraded to XP as a windows 7 install on the books? "Biggest seller".

  6. One word i'm sick of: on Design Software Giants Target the Unemployed · · Score: 1

    Stimulus.

  7. Re:Openfire on Internal Instant Messaging Client / Server Combo? · · Score: 1

    The native client has a bit more 'enterprise' features, if you lock it down to ONLY their client.

    We tried it, worked great. Ended up with Microsoft due to politics.

  8. Don't go cold turkey on Beware the Perils of Caffeine Withdrawal · · Score: 1

    Gradually reduce your intake and in a week you will be free of it, with no real side effects.

    Problem solved.

  9. Unregulated open WIFI? on Fonera 2 To Launch With Extended Functionality · · Score: 1

    Is illegal in some areas, soon most all.

    Cant risk people having anonymous access to the net can we?

  10. Not a failure on North Korea Missile Launch Fails · · Score: 1

    They launched an ICBM and it flew. No one interfered with either the launch or flight.

    They learned quite a bit of both technical and political data.

    Sounds like a success to me. Sure, it could have been better, but it wasn't a failure by a long shot.

  11. Re:Of course its fearmongering on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 1

    Its more like tying each others hands behind our backs so we cant punch each other out, and hope no one walks by that isn't part of our club and kicks us in the balls.

  12. Re:Of course its fearmongering on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 1

    A sovereign nation should be allowed to possess an arsenal, yes.

  13. Re:Yet another example of incompetence on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 1

    shhhh don't confuse the radicals with the truth.

  14. Re:Yet another example of incompetence on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 1

    No, there is no difference. Supporting a ban anywhere is supporting prohibition of rights.

    Assault weapons is not the problem its the people using them illegally.

  15. Re:Yet another example of incompetence on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 1

    Gun violence goes down when more law abiding citizens are allowed to exercise their *right* of ownership.

    Then again, you are an idiot and i wont even continue this with you.

  16. Of course its fearmongering on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Its how you get the populace to give up their rights 'for their protection'.

  17. Yet another example of incompetence on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So we get rid of our nukes and so does other 'law abiding' countries. What about the 100's that really don't give a damn?

    Then again, he thinks banning personal guns will work too.

  18. US companies not increasing speed? on The NYT Compares Broadband Upgrade Costs in US, Japan · · Score: 1

    Why they do that all the time, according to their ads :)

    "Blazing fast"

  19. 200? on ARM — Heretic In the Church of Intel, Moore's Law · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We have heard that before, and the 'super cheap' never quite pans out and ends up 2x.

  20. Moore's Law is part of the problem on ARM — Heretic In the Church of Intel, Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    Most don't *need* to follow it, as is shown by the reassurance of lower power machines. ( horsepower )

    95% for the world doesn't need to be on the 'Moore train', and what was available years before is more then they need. Blindly following It just breeds inefficiencies and wasted resources. Just because you can fly at mach 2 doesn't mean it makes sense for everyone to do it.

  21. Re:Incredible on FBI Seizes All Servers In Dallas Data Center · · Score: 1

    You forget they really don't care about the costs incurred by the other companies, or the potential 4th amendment violations. ( and others ). Not their problem.

    You an also bet they will search them all and if they just happen to find other things unrelated, it will be noted.

  22. Federal agents for a silly movie? on FBI Seizes All Servers In Dallas Data Center · · Score: 1

    Glad they don't have anything better to do, say like protect us from actual theft, or being killed by gangs or something.

    Misuse of tax dollars to stroke their contributors is all this is.

  23. 30% drop in internet business on After Sweden's New Law, a Major Drop In Internet Traffic · · Score: 2, Informative

    Scare people off-line, and business loses. ISPs, stores, phone companies, etc.

  24. MOLP? on Texas Senate Proposes a Budget With a No-Vista-Upgrades Rider · · Score: 3, Informative

    If they are enterprise, they most likely have a MOLP, which if its current they paid for Vista anyway.

  25. The future of the internet on Time Warner Expanding Internet Transfer Caps To New Markets · · Score: 1

    Is the past. Anyone remember the bad old days of CompuServe or GEnie where you had to pay x$ for x minutes of time each month?

    We are heading there again, at 'broadband speed'.
