  1. If you use Microsoft Products on Crying Foul At the BSA's "Nauseating" Anti-Piracy Tactics · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You deserve what you get.

  2. The problem with clouds on Google Unifies Media, Apps Into Google Play · · Score: 3, Insightful

    is dissipation.

  3. Gorman should sue for infringement on The Fallout From a Flickr DMCA Takedown · · Score: 1

    The porn company infringed his copyright and now he cannot be made whole again. The posts and discussion are gone and links around the world are broken. He deserves $200,000 in statutory damages from the porn company. That should reduce these false take downs.

  4. What to fear more? on New Interface Could Wire Prosthetics Directly Into Amputees' Nervous Systems · · Score: 1

    Entering the matrix or becoming Borg.

  5. The ability would create illusion of safety on FCC Inquires Into Its Own Authority To Regulate Communication Service Shutdowns · · Score: 2

    Having the ability to disrupt cell phones will give officials a false sense of security. Evil doers will plan around the cell system and police won't know what they are doing.

  6. Battle of the Diaphanous Patents! on Yahoo Unfriends Facebook With Aggressive Patent Demands · · Score: 1

    Watch as patented ideas battle over who has eligible subject matter!

  7. The victims don't want to be forgotten! on Spanish Company Tests 'Right To Be Forgotten' Against Google · · Score: 1

    The victims want to be remembered!

  8. With so many illiterates on Pakistan Looking For Homegrown URL Blocking System · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's a shame to waste resources trying to stop the few who can read from doing so.

  9. All research now short term on Academics Not Productive Enough? Sack 'em · · Score: 1

    No one will take on a project that runs more than 3 years so difficult, time consuming work will not get done. 'One rule to ring them all' tends not to work, the real world has too many exceptions.

  10. The passengers who fought back save us on State Legislatures Attempt To Limit TSA Searches · · Score: 2

    The passengers who fought back against the terrorists are what is keeping us safe, not a scanner with a voyeur leering at it.

  11. The chip in my credit card died on Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers · · Score: 1

    I have used credit cards for decades and never had a problem with them. They gave me this new chip card and within weeks it doesn't work. Worse, some companies systems won't take a swipe if the chip is bad, that's why I can't shop at Walmart. I can't get a new card without a chip in it either. Do I want to travel internationally only to find I can't get home because the chip in my passport has broken? These chips are a bad idea and need to go.

  12. Red Hat is making profits with open source on Ask Slashdot: Copy Protection Advice For ~$10k Software? · · Score: 1

    You might as well release it under an open source license and concentrate on selling support packages. That way every pirate becomes a potential customer instead. Getting your hands on software is easy, using it can be hard! That is where your market should be.

  13. What's wrong with drugs? on The Pirate Bay On Track To Be Banned In the UK? · · Score: 4, Funny
  14. Launch literally handfuls of rocks into space on Ask Slashdot: What Would Real Space Combat Look Like? · · Score: 1

    Anything in orbit will be pulverized.

  15. News Flash! Britain sinks under server farms on UK Plans More Spying On Internet Users Under 'Terrorism' Pretext · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just in from the North Sea. Britain has finally sunk under the weight of the vast server farms storing every malicious keystroke of the beleaguered populace. This was the final stroke as the cost of analysis of the vast data store had finally exceeded GDP. It is expected that any terrorists perished with everyone else.

  16. If the government can afford to read my email on FOIA Request Shows Which Printer Companies Cooperated With US Government · · Score: 1

    They have too much money!

  17. Parents teach children to swear on Arizona Ponders FCC Decency Standards For the Classroom · · Score: 1

    This is just stupid.

  18. Kentuckians, bend over on Kentucky Telephone Companies Pushing For Option To End Basic Service · · Score: 2

    Your phone company wants to service you, but you aren't going to like it!

  19. Never have so few done so little to enrage so many on Canadians #TellVicEverything In Response To Bill C-30 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Every day the Conservative government drifts a little farther from true Canadian values and into some kind of dream world where Leave It To Beaver is a reality series.

  20. Kicking someone when they're down on Apple Seeks Court Permission To Sue Kodak For Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    I guess that's what Steve Jobs would have done, he was a total asshole.

  21. Electric Outlets with Copy protection built in on Sony Outlets Control Electricity Through Authentication · · Score: 0

    They probably will be set up to only allow SONY authorized devices to draw power. My electricity usage is already gauged by my supplier, why do I need SONY sticking it's nose where it has no business going? This is nothing more than an attempt to put even more controls on what people can do in their own homes. SONY is not a company that has consumer's best interests at heart and this proposal is more proof of that. SONY APPLE MICROSOFT, who else wants on the NO BUY list, it's free to join!

  22. Politicians will be the first ones caught no doubt on Canadian Govt To Introduce Massive Internet Surveillance Law · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ubiquitous surveillance catches misdeeds on both sides, this is very much a "Be careful what you wish for!" situation. This will create a whole new class of criminals specializing stealing everyone's stored information. If legislation like this is enacted I predict the rise of a peer to peer internet that circumvents ISPs entirely.

  23. Apple sues everyone for existing! on Apple Launches New Legal Attack On Samsung · · Score: 2

    I always said Apple would be worse than Microsoft if it was ever given a chance. I hate being so very right.

  24. How can God be damaged by words? on Journalist Arrested By Interpol For Tweet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If God can be damaged by words, then God cannot be all powerful. If a Muslim's faith can be shaken by words, does the Muslim really have any faith at all?

  25. Wipe and Flush on Ask Slashdot: How To Go Paperless At Home? · · Score: -1, Troll

    It just works.
