  1. Re:iphone = macintosh on Apple Bans Android Magazine App From App Store · · Score: 1

    apple could have been as big as microsoft in the 80s, but chose to go this route. Doing it again with the iphone is just stupid.

  2. Clinton, wake me when Val Plume Leak is procecuted on Compiling the WikiLeaks Fallout · · Score: 1

    The Valerie Plume Leak was real leak that resulted in lots of people being killed and no one involved was punished. If that was not a priority, I doubt any of this would be.

  3. iphone = macintosh on Apple Bans Android Magazine App From App Store · · Score: 1

    how many times will apple learn this lesson? If you try to control every thing and all the software you open the door and eventually the Developers will go to a platform they can actually develop on (Android).

  4. consoles are about control on PC Gaming 'a Generation Ahead' of Consoles, Says Crytek Boss · · Score: 1

    you cannot innovate or move at a rapid pace when you want to control everything to try and milk every cent you can out of a console. PC Gaming has and always be a strong platform no matter how companies try to continue to game the sales stats to make it look like consoles are selling well. PC Games are selling great and always will.

  5. Re:Is it really so bad? on Next Step For US Body Scanners Could Be Trains, Metro Systems · · Score: 1

    It is time for Americans to stop being ok with their 4th Amendment Rights being violated with naked scans and groping.

  6. Re:Already on it on The DIY Car Computer vs. the iPad · · Score: 1

    I cannot tell if this is a joke or not...

  7. Re:Am I the only one? on Underwear Invention Protects Privacy At Airport · · Score: 1

    Just because you don't care about your 4th Amendment Rights does not mean they are important. When will you start to care? When you start to get stopped on the street for no reason and have to submit to a finger in the butt cavity search?

  8. Re:Oh sure.... on Making Airport Scanners Less Objectionable · · Score: 3, Informative

    the police have to have probable cause to do a pat down. That is the difference. Innocent before guilty remember?

  9. Re:Oh sure.... on Making Airport Scanners Less Objectionable · · Score: 3, Interesting

    the tsa is already being swamped by pedophiles and sex offenders asking for applications.

  10. America is suppose to be a free country on Making Airport Scanners Less Objectionable · · Score: 4, Informative

    there is absolutely no need for prison security in the airport for regular people just trying to travel. It is a just a big scam by Michael Chertoff and Rapiscan Systems to sell naked scanners to the tsa for billions in profits. I bet if they were not allowed to make any money they would no longer be pushing their use.

  11. Re:Of course... on Google Warns Irish Government Against Tax Increase · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ireland did everything that conservatives wanted regarding their finance policies. Why is Ireland cratering if they are suppose to be sooooo good? And Ireland already has high unemployment as a result of these policies and it will get worse either way. They should recognize they don't work and start moving to polices that do as there will be no getting out of a painful correction or if they don't change a full depression.

  12. Re:The senators on the approving panel on Oregon Senator Stops Internet Censorship Bill · · Score: 1

    these Senators should be ashamed.

  13. Michael Chertoff needs to be investigated on Bruce Schneier vs. the TSA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    look him up. He has abused and manipulated his relationships with Homeland Security to try and make billions for him and his friends with the naked scanners. Part of the groping is to try and force people to use the scanners so they can sell more of them. Chertoff and Rapiscan Systems need to be indicted.

  14. Re:The new security may be saving lives... on TSA Pats Down 3-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    the last several terror attacks on planes were stopped by passengers. What is the TSA doing again to people just trying to travel? No reason for prison security at the airport.

  15. there is no place for TSA prison security on US Marshals Saved 35,000 Full Body Scans · · Score: 1

    in airports for people who are doing nothing, but trying to travel. These invasive and unnecessary scans and pat downs need to be ended and an investigation into why Michael Chertoff was allowed to manipulate Homeland Security so he and his friends could make billions of dollars selling nude body scanners.

  16. Michael Chertoff on National Opt-Out Day Against Virtual Strip Searches · · Score: 1

    look this guys name up. He and his buddies are benefiting financially from the naked scanners and prison security additions.

  17. Re:defense spending cuts should be happening on Iron Man Is Another Step Closer To a Reality · · Score: 1

    Having seen how the military works you would probably need 2 years training on this and when it breaks I am not seeing how that saves any time. The is a solution searching for a problem so that this defense contractor can get paid with US Taxpayer money.

  18. Re:slashdot ad revenue from BP now? on White House Edited Oil Drilling Safety Report · · Score: 1

    this is clearly a case of combing through records to find anything to take the focus of BP destroying the Gulf of Mexico. Take your drama else where.

  19. Re:defense spending cuts should be happening on Iron Man Is Another Step Closer To a Reality · · Score: 1

    good logistics work on the lowest common denominator to make sure they never fail. Hundreds of years of practice has this down to a science. This is completely useless US defense spending, especially in the wake of all the deficit pundits saying it is the most important thing to fix right now.

  20. defense spending cuts should be happening on Iron Man Is Another Step Closer To a Reality · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The only thing I thought the whole time I watched this is US defense spending is way to over bloated to have this kind of useless spending.

  21. slashdot ad revenue from BP now? on White House Edited Oil Drilling Safety Report · · Score: 1

    seems like the only reason this article would even been on Slashdot. BP is still screwing the Gulf of Mexico and there should not be any more drilling off the coast.

  22. How does this help create jobs? on 3D Printing May Face Legal Challenges · · Score: 1

    it is one thing if it is a company that went to a lot of effort to develop a technology, but people and businesses who horde patents to patent troll as a business are killing the economy.

  23. They adapt on UK Games Retailers Threaten Boycott of Steam Games · · Score: 1

    or tell stories with the horse and buggy makers. People like Steam. Do people give a crap about them and will people just skip these retailer stores instead? Yes.

  24. end the U.S. offshore tax credit on Obama Says Offshoring Fears Are Unwarranted · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It encourages companies to move U.S. jobs overseas. I have seen first hand the decisions being made due to this terrible law.

  25. Re:Transsexuals on EPIC Files Lawsuit To Suspend Airport Body Scanner Use · · Score: 1

    naked pictures of people from these devices will end up on the internet. I give it 6 months before the first scandal.
