    Do you mean a zone of lawlessness where my Constitutional rights are violated in the name of "freedom"? Where law enforcement official engage in criminal acts to "protect" me? Where my privacy is illegally violated as a matter of policy?

    No thank you, Oberführer Caldwell.

  9. American Clay Pidgeon on Americans Support Mandatory Labeling of Food That Contains DNA · · Score: 4, Funny

    Since college, I have been encouraging people to help save the American Clay Pidgeon, colorfully-marked creatures "fragile as eggs" that a slaughtered every day and left to rot in fields at the hands of wildly enthusiastic gunners.

  10. The marketing drones have won. Style triumphs over substance.

  11. Re:And the true colors are revealed. on Obama: Gov't Shouldn't Be Hampered By Encrypted Communications · · Score: 1, Informative

    If Romney or any of the rest of the scum can be any worse,
    I will be very surprised.

    Your logic is flawed by asssuming that they play for different teams. They are all one team against us.

  12. Re:Prior art on Obama: Gov't Shouldn't Be Hampered By Encrypted Communications · · Score: 1

    The technology required is the "warrant" - issued by a judge on probable cause. I believe the technology has been around for several hundred years.

    I mean, Obama couldn't possibly have been referring to intercepting communications without a lawful warrant, and certainly not without cause, right?

    You must not be a "patriot", Citizen. Otherwise you would accept the good intentions of the governmnet without question. Perhaps you can wait in this jail cell while we question your commitment to keeping babies from being killed . . .

  13. And the answer to any editorial question? on An Open Letter To Everyone Tricked Into Fearing AI · · Score: 1

    "Forget about the risk that machines pose to us in the decades ahead. The more pertinent question, in 2015, is whether anyone is going to protect mankind from its willfully ignorant journalists."

    No, of course not.

  14. If I Don't Believe As You Do on Pope Francis: There Are Limits To Freedom of Expression · · Score: 1

    If I don't believe in YOUR beliefs, I have no obligation to observe them and, in a polite society, I have no need to mock them -- although in a free society, I could if I wanted to.

    If I do not believe as you do, you have no right to enforce your beliefs on me and should have no expectation that I would respect your beliefs. Why should you care about how I believe or act unless you are unsure of your own convicitons or are actually threatened (as in I'm going to hurt you) by my unbelief?

    An most importantly, if I do share your belief and then violate it (perhaps by murdering people in the name of your belief), then you should be angry with me and you should correct and discipline me. You should renounce me. You should hold me accountable as the criminal I am. You should turn me over to the civil or religious authorities.

    Unless you take that responsibility for your beliefs, STFU.

  15. Fark.com? on Russia Says Drivers Must Not Have "Sex Disorders" To Get License · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've already read all this news on Fark.com. You're late to the party Slashdot.

  16. Re:I wonder about their key generation. 1% of RSA on Inside Cryptowall 2.0 Ransomware · · Score: 1

    Around 1% of RSA keys are easily broken, meaning you could decrypt your data without paying the ransom. This is because about 1% of keys are weak in one way or another. I wonder about the key generation function this malware uses. If they are using one of the weaker algorithms to generate keys, many victims may be able to decrypt fairly easily.

    Please check with the NSA about this strategy.

  17. The asshats in charge on Ask Slashdot: Non-Coders, Why Aren't You Contributing To Open Source? · · Score: 1

    For me, it's mostky the attitudes of the asshats in charge.

    "Chicken chest! Chicken chest!" -- Archie Bunker

  21. Not Very Practical on A Toolbox That Helps Keep You From Losing Tools (Video) · · Score: 1

    It's a very inefficiant toolbax, spacewise. Plus, If I'm using foam cutouts, I already know my tool is missing.

  22. Re: MS-Windows on Amnesty International Releases Tool To Combat Government Spyware · · Score: 1

    I ran it in a virtual Win7 machine and it displayed a splash screen and just sat there like that for hours until I killed it.

    How is this any better than, say, ComboFix,exe? http://www.bleepingcomputer.co...

  23. Re:Only win32? on Amnesty International Releases Tool To Combat Government Spyware · · Score: 1

    I guess the spyware it detects only runs on Windows platforms. Would be nice, though, to be able to do an offline scan of a windows system from a bootable usb, or linux cd.

    My thoughts exactly.

    The win32 binary will not run with WINE. I get a segfault.

  24. Re:its terrible on Pianist Asks Washington Post To Remove Review Under "Right To Be Forgotten" · · Score: 1

    Douchebaggery in action.

    Given the description of how the artists' personality is reflected in that performance, this request comes as no surprise.

  25. "We proposed that conservatives, compared to liberals, have greater negativity bias, which includes both disgusting and threatening conditions in our study."

    So, the more disgusted you react to disgusting photos indicates greater political conservatism.
