  1. what about the word "mainframe" on Gartner Buzzword Tracker Says "Cloud Computing" Still on Hype Wave · · Score: 2

    anyone that has been around knows that "cloud" is just a marketing term for mainframes.

  2. Re:Merely linking? on 'Pirate' Website Owner Sentenced To 4 Years In Prison · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Your tact is still wrong. You have to go on offense. Instead of discussing this people should instead be discussing why Hollywood Accounting is not being aggressively dealt with. Directors, Actors, Musicians, ... losses from Hollywood Accounting are huge and US taxpayers are losing big as well.

  3. Re:I'm also looking for somewhere new on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Place To Relocate? · · Score: 1

    Austin is an island of progressive in a sea of conservatives though.

  4. Re:NASA's so called Budget on House Representatives Working On NASA Reform Bill · · Score: 1

    how about we do that for the military instead. People who think the military budget need to be bigger can give directly to it.

  5. Re:Unconstitutional? on House Representatives Working On NASA Reform Bill · · Score: 1

    or we can just slash the huge unneeded and boated military budget. Problem solved.

  6. double standard on JPMorgan Chase Spends $500 Million On a Data Center · · Score: 1

    No banker has been criminally charged regarding the financial crisis even though it is well accepted they did not behave in their Customer's interests. However, the goldman sachs programmer keeps getting charged over and over again. An that is not the only example. It is a double standard of the rich vs everyone else.

  7. Re:If Obama's BIRTH can be an issue on Let the Campaign Edit Wars Begin · · Score: 1

    ryan's ideas (and romneys for that matter) are to do what ever they can to make the rich richer at the expense of everyone else. Not something that needs any debate, it is flatout wrong.

  8. Re:If Obama's BIRTH can be an issue on Let the Campaign Edit Wars Begin · · Score: 1

    this is the most laughable analysis of ryan I have seen so far. ryan is a tea party extremist trying to make the very rich more rich at the expense of the middle class and poor. romney picking someone that attacks old white people was pretty stupid.

  9. Re:If Obama's BIRTH can be an issue on Let the Campaign Edit Wars Begin · · Score: 2

    romney and ryan's tax returns are a far bigger issue. How they manage their finances are something they need to be transparent about and they are not.

  10. focus is on the wrong thing on White House Pulls Down TSA Petition · · Score: 2

    getting rid of janet napolitano should be the focus of the effort. She loves the police state for some reason. When she was governer of Arizona they put in revenue cameras. When she left they ripped them out. Get rid of napolitano and there is a better chance to get rid of the tsa.

  11. Re:Window 8 game plan - tablets first? on CowboyNeal Weighs In On the Windows 8 "Metro" GUI · · Score: 2

    or with Valve building out Steam to work on Linux, Windows 7 may be the last microsoft OS for many in the consumer market. The rest may go Apple.

  12. I still hate the ribbon on CowboyNeal Weighs In On the Windows 8 "Metro" GUI · · Score: 5, Funny

    but everyone will love this new GUI eventually though, right?

  13. Re:Real reason on Poll Finds Americans Think the TSA Is 'Doing a Good Job' · · Score: 1

    the tsa needs to be abolished, but no one wants to copy the israelis where everyone has bomb shelters and it is considered normal.

  14. no one will care for your data like you do on Wired Writer Hack Shows Need For Tighter Cloud Security · · Score: 2

    if you put something valuable on mainframes at other companies (ie the new marketing buzzword "the cloud") then you are accepting the risk. Not worth it IMHO.

  15. Re:There is a $500 fine for this on NASA's Own Video of Curiosity Landing Crashes Into a DMCA Takedown · · Score: 1

    or they should have to prove it is theirs before it is taken down. Innocent until proven guilty is the world we should want to live in.

  16. Re:Secure Boot won't catch on on UEFI Secure Boot and Linux: Where Things Stand · · Score: 2

    If you have physical access to the hardware it is only a matter of time before it is cracked.

  17. Re:Ordered to explain why it ignored the order on Federal Appeals Court Orders TSA To Explain Delay In Body Scan Public Hearing · · Score: 5, Interesting

    janet nopalito, head of homeland security, is more than likely the problem. She loves a good police state. When she was governor of Arizona she had revenue cameras put on the highways. When she left they ripped them out.

  18. Re:cut military spending on Scientists Stage Funerals To Protest Against Cuts — a New Trend? · · Score: 1

    not really a good comparison. Canada's military spending is ~$20 billion. The US currently spends more that $700 billion. And when you consider that the US sends combat troops into battle in vehicles with no armor plating you start to see money is not about protecting the soldiers. It is about making a couple of rich defense contractors a lot of money.

  19. Re:The air is gushing out of the balloon on The Cost To 'Promote' a Facebook Post: $200 To $500 · · Score: 1

    you can still short facebook, it is not done dropping.

  20. cut military spending on Scientists Stage Funerals To Protest Against Cuts — a New Trend? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    no cuts to science funding needed. Problem solved.

  21. Re:-1 Evil on Valve Removes Right For Class Action Claims From EULA · · Score: 2

    what is the right answer then? No one makes money on class action lawsuits expect lawyers so what benefit are they to the people that suffer? I believe in the rule of law, but corporate lawsuits are a broken system where the guilty don't go to jail.

  22. Re:Nothing exclusive about it on Mitt Romney To Announce VP Decision Via Smartphone App · · Score: 1

    but it will be a lot more easy for romney to spam is supporters that will blindly follow anything with talking points.

  23. Re:I think everyone has already made up their mind on Mitt Romney To Announce VP Decision Via Smartphone App · · Score: 1

    romney is no centrist. He clearly has an agenda to make the rich richer and he is not even trying to disguise it.

  24. if there was only a gen purpose personal computer on Ask Slashdot: Are The Days of Homebrew Gaming Over? · · Score: 4, Informative

    that did not have any vendor lock-in problems ...

  25. what would stop Hollywood Accounting? on RIAA Admits SOPA Wouldn't Have Stopped Piracy · · Score: 1

    It is a much much bigger problem as artists / musicians don't get paid and US Taxpayers are being cheated.
