  1. This reminds me of the day 30 years ago ... on JPL Employee's Firing Wasn't Due To Intelligent Design Advocacy, Says Judge · · Score: 1

    When all the women in the office came to my desk and demanded to know why I had stopped sexually harassing them. I'm gay and they apparently liked the behavior the personnel manager had warned me about.

  2. Data registers need to be aligned with gigabytes on Why Does a Voting Machine Need Calibration? · · Score: 0

    Data registers need to be aligned with induction core modules. Input parameters must also be marshaled against erroneous corruption by transitory memory flux. There is so much to do I don't know where to start!

  3. Truth uncovered, quickly buried on Nonpartisan Tax Report Removed After Republican Protest · · Score: 1

    Republicans on the warpath against truth, again. Does this means everything Mitt Romney has been saying is completely untrue?

  4. The problem is... on Massachusetts May Soon Change How the Nation Dies · · Score: 1

    If I had something like ALS I would want to live until I was no longer able to take my own life, then it would be time to end it. This law would result in me robbing myself of the last few days or weeks of life when I could still do things for myself.

  5. All your data are belong to us! on US Government: You Don't Own Your Cloud Data So We Can Access It At Any Time · · Score: 1

    Too bad it's government clowns saying it.

  6. The Cloud just rained out on US Government: You Don't Own Your Cloud Data So We Can Access It At Any Time · · Score: 1

    Maybe that's what caused Sandy?

  7. Stupidity Represses Insight on Empathy Represses Analytic Thought, and Vice Versa · · Score: 1

    Can I have my Phd now?

  8. Ubiquitous video surveilance on Federal Judge Approves Warrantless, Covert Video Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Uh Oh! Cameras everywhere. Quick, how do I look?

  9. Anti-personnel drones.... on More Drones Set To Use US Air Space · · Score: 1

    ...all we need now is Skynet and Romney's eyes to start glowing red!

  10. Suing a shopping mall on France Applies Tax Pressure To Google For Republishing News Snippets · · Score: 2

    This is like suing the shopping mall your store is in because people in the mall don't want to come into your store. It's not the mall's fault!

  11. It means Apple has peaked on Shake-up at Apple: Forstall Out; iOS Executive Fired For Maps Debacle? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Apple has already produced it's best ever products and it is on the way down now. Nothing new or exciting will come out of Apple in future.

  12. Typically society stays on course on Is Silicon Valley Morally Bankrupt and Toxic? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There is too much invested in the lifestyle we have now for society to change course to avoid catastrophe. People will continue doing the same things until collapse by economic, environmental or political forces impose change.

  13. Freedom of Speech limited to Americans on Pakastani Politician Detained By US Customs Over Opposition To Drone Strikes · · Score: 2

    One can only conclude that the US government sees Freedom of Speech as a uniquely American right. Which is just plain wrong.

  14. We can be followed in other ways on Yahoo Will Ignore IE 10's "Do Not Track" · · Score: 1

    Companies don't need to put tracking bits on our computers, they can pool information and mine everything which they'll do if it's the only way forward for them.

  15. I have 2 backyard chickens on How To Hug a Chicken Via the Internet · · Score: 4, Informative

    i can just imagine the commotion a mechanical monster lumbering into the run to give them a hug. I wouldn't have eggs for days!

  16. I just searched airline reservations on What an Anti-Google Antitrust Case By the FTC May Look Like · · Score: 2

    I just searched for "airline reservations" in www.google.ca and Expedia is 3rd from the top under Air Canada and Westjet, the two largest airlines in Canada. It certainly doesn't look like Expedia is being discriminated against in Canada unless they use a different algorithm in Canada eh?

  17. I was referred to as 'The Prima Donna' on Ask Slashdot: Rectifying Nerd Arrogance? · · Score: 1

    When I looked back I realized I really did deserve it. It took till I was 47 before I grew up and cast off the arrogance of insecurity. Work hard, be confident in yourself and the arrogance should go away.

  18. Unfortunately this is all defensive on Facebook Patents Pokes-Per-Minute Limits · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The current patent system makes it imperative that companies patent every line of code they write, so parasites like Intellectual Vultures don't come along and patent that thought and sue.

  19. The US government did it! on Huawei Offers 'Complete and Unrestricted' Source Code Access · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When American telecom companies won contracts to supply soviet satellite, I think it was Poland, with telecom equipment, The CIA or NSA or both managed to get back doors into the equipment to both monitor calls and in the event of hostilities, to shut the phone system down completely. If American companies let their Government subvert their technology in foreign countries, China would be foolish not to.

  20. Microsoft wants to get into hardware on Can Nokia Save Itself? · · Score: 2

    The best way for Microsoft to get into making their own hardware is to buy an existing hardware company. The best way to buy a company is to drive down it's value before you take it over. Microsoft used it's influence to get Elop hired as CEO of Nokia so he could destroy the share value of the company which Microsoft could then buy for a song. Nokia's share price tanking and eventually a Microsoft take over was the plan from the start. It has all been a show to steal Nokia from it's shareholders. Typically Microsoft.

  21. From now on, when asked, Geologists will say..... on Scientists Who Failed to Warn of Quake Found Guilty of Manslaughter · · Score: 4, Informative

    A large and devastating earthquake is imminent somewhere on earth 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

  22. I look in the mirror! on How Do You Spot a Genius? · · Score: 0

    duh

  23. Maybe this is what we need on Brazilian Newspapers Leave Google News En Masse · · Score: 2

    Maybe this will prompt someone to come up with a better way to collect and distribute the news to people without charge. We should not need to pay to find out what is going on in the world around us.

  24. Republicans have brains? on Dolphins Can Sleep One-half of Their Brain At a Time Say Researchers · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    They sure hide it well!
