    Or follow the FDR example and try to expand the number of justices.

  2. Re:Data Theft on Obama's Mobile Phone Records Compromised, Shared · · Score: 1

    Justifying that going Palins email is okay because we found something doesn't work no matter how much the Obama lovers wish it did.

    Especially since nothing (illegal or unethical) was found.

  3. Re:Microsoft and Apple on Apple DMCAs iPodHash Project · · Score: 2, Interesting

    psystar's antitrust complaint against apple was rejected. But I'm sure you know what a monopoly is, unlike that judge guy.

  4. Re:I don't want to be off topic but... on Adobe Releases C/C++ To Flash Compiler · · Score: 1

    arm -J CPUs support direct execution of java vm bytecodes.

  5. Re:Still no contact info, so I'll post here... on Adobe Releases C/C++ To Flash Compiler · · Score: 1

    cappucino / objective j could probably be ported. The objective c model differs from javascript in some ways. You can send a message to null for example.

  6. Re:No, on AIX On the Desktop Is Getting the Boot · · Score: 5, Informative

    It was submitted by someone in Germany (so English is most likely a second or third language). It was edited by... well it wasn't edited.

  7. Re:Wrong, He Has a Blog Post On It on Mark Cuban Charged With Insider Trading · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Insider trading" can be very vauge and edge cases aren't clearly defined by statute or case law. Martha Stewart wasn't convicted of insider trading, she was convicted for obstruction of justice during the investigation (which might not have madei t to trial). If he shuts up, doesn't lie, and doesn't try to destroy evidence, he'll find it a lot easier to stay out of jail.

  8. Re:I Just Took A Huge Shit on Stallman Unsure Whether Firefox Is Truly Free · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not only that, but anyone who eats the FREE shit will likewise produce more FREE shit. And if you happen to have a virus, like hepatitis or AIDS, it will be passed along as well.

    I think the FSF should change the GNU logo. Sure, a big smelly cow-like animal with unkempt hair and dingleberries hanging from it's asshole represents most FREE SOFTWARE programmers, but a steaming turd represents the ideals (and implementation!) of FREE SOFTWARE

  9. 10,000 hours by the age of 20? on Success Not Just a Matter of Talent · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Too bad there isn't any market demand for guys who masturbate :-(

  10. Re:How is this random? on Fewer Shuffles Suffice · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's a subtle point that isn't obvious -- the revealed door is never the winning door.

    You have a 2/3 chance of guessing wrong. But in that case, the other wrong door will be revealed, so swapping means you win.

    Meanwhile, you have a 1/3 chance of guessing correctly, and therefore not swapping only gives you a 1/3 chance of winning.

  11. Re:Just NASA? on Obama's Impending NASA Decisions · · Score: 1

    Of course he's going to continue deficit spending. Only Ron Paul-level spending cuts or .com psuedo prosperity could prevent it. Oh, and congress, not the president, is in charge of the budget (you might remember that 700 billion financial bailout. Or if not, pay attention next week to the auto bailout.)

  12. Re:Could have told you that decades ago. on Fewer Shuffles Suffice · · Score: 2, Informative

    never ascribe to a heck of a shuffling that which can be adequately explained by stacking the deck and bottom dealing.

  13. Re:Notify the end users on Google Text Ads For Known Malware Sites · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That might viloate the google/website contract. Howewver, that's not the issue here. Google is running ads with links to malware sites, not ads on the malware sites (though they probably do that too).

  14. Re:I'm confused... on Debian Running On the T-Mobile G1 · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not Google's device. It's T-Mobile's device.

  15. Re:Pyrolysis may be more useful on Plasma Plants Vaporize Trash While Creating Energy · · Score: 1

    When a cow drinks water, the water doesn't magically disappear.

  16. Re:This disgusts me on Relentless Web Attack Hard To Kill · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how that's simpler, but you might still be vulnerable with invalid utf-8 strings.

    They could fill the website with links to v1agr@, svbpr1me m0rtg@g3s, and geniune r0lexxs.

  18. Re:Cheap = Good for parents on Lego Loses Its Unique Right To Make Lego Blocks · · Score: 1

    Lego blocks are made in Denmark. Where are Mega Bloks made? Perhaps they're manufactured in a 3rd world country? Where adding lead or poisonous chemicals is ok if it helps cut costs? Do your kids ever put those blocks in their mouths? Just wondering.

  19. good job! on Washington Post Blog Shuts Down 75% of Online Spam · · Score: 5, Funny

    First they shut down McCain, now McColo. Next up: McDonalds?

  20. Re:Nationalize Sallie Mae? on Beating the College Bubble · · Score: 2, Insightful

    well, the assets of Sallie Mae are student loans, so if you forgive all the student loans and nationalize their assets, you'll end up with nothing.

    Maybe it's time that as a country we have a serious conversation to everyone that believes they're entitled to a car, house, college education, or lifestyle they can't afford.

  22. Re:Exactly how many ads should there be? on MGM First To Post Full-Length Features To YouTube · · Score: 3, Interesting

    of course, many movies have paid product placements -- ads -- already. Isn't that the slashdot business model? Make a movie, paid for via product placement, and give it away for free?

    Google's new york offices have been cutting back on the perks (like free soda, food, etc).
