  1. facebook is fading and going the way of myspace on Facebook Abstainers Could Be Labeled Suspicious · · Score: 1

    the next new and shiny website to come along will get the migration of users. Are they going to arrest everyone citing suspicious behavior at this happens?

  2. Re:Geek stupidity on Feds Ban 'Buckyballs' Magnets · · Score: 1

    Ban people from having children. It is the only sure way to prevent this.

    you want to live in a nanny state, but not everyone does.

  3. Re:Single Sign on aka FB on Ask Slashdot: What's Holding Up Single Sign-On? · · Score: 1

    I don't use facebook and never will. To be honest, I see them going the way of myspace in a couple of years.

  4. Re:write a new story? on What's Next For Superhero Movies? · · Score: 1

    or in other words, the studio's meddling messed up Spiderman 3

  5. Re:Cloud on Ask Slashdot: Stepping Down From an Office Server To NAS-Only? · · Score: 2

    replace the word "cloud" with "mainframe" if you want to know all the problems with this approach when you search the internet. Mainframe problems have not changed, just the marketing.

  6. facebook thinks you are only a dollar on Why You Shouldn't Write Off Google+ Just Yet · · Score: 2

    that is why you don't care about them

  7. Re:~5 years late on Canadians To Get Unbundled Cable TV Channels · · Score: 1

    streaming is replacing cable. They have waited to long to try and make their Customers happy.

  8. Hollywood accounting is stealing on ISP 'Six Strikes' Plan Delayed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It is a much much bigger problem and steals directly from Artists and Musicians as well as US Taxpayers. When does it get some attention?

  9. Re:A guess? It's designed for idiots. on What's Wrong With American Ninja Warrior? · · Score: 1

    I don't know that I agree that a zero-sum game is American.

  10. if it is so important then nationalize the company on The DHS's Latest Investment: Terahertz Laser Scanners · · Score: 2

    I bet if there is no profit to be made the tsa would quickly be dissolved.

  11. Re:Only the SEO Part Is True on How Huffington Post's Clever Traffic-Generation Machine Works · · Score: 2

    I generally learn about significant happenings in the world more accurately before any traditional journalism (the Obamacare Supreme Court Decision is a good example with several big news companies just flat out getting it wrong). It is dying, because you can get information to the otherside of the world in ~200ms and you don't need a news gatekeeper anymore. As poor a job they are doing now pushing partisan issues to try and make more money I say die faster.

  12. Re:Amazing on NY Couple On "Wanted" Poster For Filming Police · · Score: 1

    what are you talking about? Anyone in authority abuses their power. Ever try taking with a bank?

  13. Re:You're a company on Verizon Claims Net Neutrality Violates Their Free Speech Rights · · Score: 1

    if you put a corporation to death are all the people in the corporation killed?

  14. Re:The most cost effective way... on Keeping Your Cloud Costs Under Control · · Score: 1

    funny that is the exact same argument I would use against Amazon. When Amazon has a problem they are not going to restore you before their highest paid accounts. Hence my comment.

  15. Re:The most cost effective way... on Keeping Your Cloud Costs Under Control · · Score: 2

    nobody cares about your data or business as much as you do.

  16. just read up on mainframe problems on Keeping Your Cloud Costs Under Control · · Score: 1

    the same lessons still apply even if you change the name to "cloud".

  17. Re:Recursive? No, very iterative. on The PHP Singularity · · Score: 2

    people don't complain about things they don't care about.

  18. Re:Hopefully... on Julian Assange Served With Extradition Notice By British Police · · Score: 1

    it would be very easy for Sweden to turn Assange over to the US and then say "oops" when they are shown they should have. I would like to see how much effort Sweden and the UK have spent on other "accused" candidates for extradition. My bet is almost no effort.

  19. Re:They deserve it. on Pirate Bay Founder Fined For 'Continued Involvement' · · Score: 1

    hollywood account is stealing. When are the laws going to be fixed to deal with that? It is a much bigger problem.

  20. two conservative sides fighting on Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times · · Score: 1

    On the one hand you have the rich people exploiting H1-B for cheap labor and pocketing the difference. On the other hand you have the anti-immigration extremists who have been manipulated by the rich so that conservatives vote for the politicians they want without worrying they are shipping their jobs overseas or giving their job to immigrants they import. Pretty funny to watch.

  21. Re:hard drive prices/GB are also dropping on SSD Prices Down 46% Since 2011 · · Score: 0, Troll

    if you are using Windows 7, it will only use 3Gb of those 8.

  22. hollywood account ethics? on David Lowery On the Ethics of Music Piracy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    interesting there is never any push back on that even though it screws artists a lot more than anything else.

  23. Re:Let the public education on U.S. Students Struggle With Reasoning Skills · · Score: 1

    I think a large problem with current schools is the idea of fairness. Not all teachers are equal and certainly not all students, but all teachers are lumped together and students are generally taught to the lowest common denominator. Life is not fair, it should be taught in school, and those that excel would be allowed to.

  24. why not put a server center in each? on Phil Zimmermann's New Venture Will Offer Strong Privacy By Subscription · · Score: 1

    that way have better world coverage and can shift if the local politics go to crap on privacy.

  25. balmer not satisfied with destroying ms monopoly on Windows 8 Pre RTM Metro UI Leaked · · Score: 1

    he now is not hoping this will finally kill of microsoft's cash cow too.
