  1. Top Secret != Polygraph Interview on Space Shuttle Secrets Stolen For China · · Score: 4, Informative
    Top Secret Clearance does not require a polygraph (lie detector) interview. Security Accesses within Top Secret (Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI)) may require a polygraph interview. I knew a man whose job qualificaton required he and his wife both get polygraphed.

    Security Clearance investigations are expensive. Polygraph test add to the expense.

  2. Constant Surveillance but "This is just a test" on Cellphones to Monitor Highway Traffic · · Score: 1
    Bad idea! Constant Surveillance and privacy invasion.

    Somebody will come up with a "friendly" name, such as Living Vigilance .

    1. Cell Phone transmits location, receives location-based advertisements.

  5. Incompetence Pays! on Lax TSA Website Exposed Travelers' Information · · Score: 1
    USA is a controlled state.

    Privacy is myth!

    All information is available SOMEWHERE.

  6. Gridlock & Monoxide on $2500 Tata Nano Car Unveiled in India · · Score: 0, Troll
    Lots of cheap little cars congealing into gridlock and pumping effluents into the air!

    PROGRESS AT LAST!

    India is a developing country. Pollution does not exist, along with child labor, substandard wages, and living conditions.

  7. No Substantiated Cause on Computer Glitch Halts Seattle New Year's Fireworks · · Score: 1
    Computer Glitch:ACCEPTED

    OS: UNKNOWN

    Slashdotters are 12 years old pretending to be thirteen.

  8. Praetorian! on Arguing For Open Electronic Health Records · · Score: 1
    This was predicted in 1995.

    "The Net" with Sandra Bullock

    A socially retarded software engineer cannot tolerate intrusion.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113957/

    She fought back!

  9. Control NOT Security on TSA Limits Lithium Batteries on Airplanes · · Score: 1
    The USA is a controlled society!

    The control began in the early '60s. Metal detectors, seatbelts, emission standards,...

    Air passengers have current identification, remove shoes, and carry their 3oz containers in one quart-sized ziplock bag.

    In the 21st Century, Obedience is Patriotic!

  10. 2007 Predictions on The Economist's Technology Predictions For 2008 · · Score: 2, Interesting
    What were the predictions for 2007?

    How true were the predictions for 2007?

    Give the prognosticators the chance to spin to seem brilliant and correct!

  11. Verizon Love Fest on Is Comcast Heading the Way of the Dinosaur? · · Score: 1
    The author (Triston McIntyre) is a one man love fest with Verizon.

    Point To Remember: A blogger IS NOT a journalist.

    A blogger IS an editorialist.

    A blogger states opinion.

  12. Accreditation on Online Nicknames Google better than Real? · · Score: 1
    Depending on your "unique" name, you may have to defend or deny what the prospective employer finds.

    Then again, he may never call back.

    IMHO: Reveal only if asked!

  13. Constellation Naming! on The Universe Damaged By Observation? · · Score: 1

    Did naming the constellations esacalate the decay? Apparently mankind is the only influence. Previous civilizations are not relevant. Now the theosophic/racist/specist discussions begin.

  14. "I 'owned' Boston Logan!" on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1
    Star Simpson has the bragging rights to the t-shirt, the hat, and "Wired" magazine cover!

    No job In Government. She blew any chance of a security clearance.

    She can always teach high school. Common Sense is not needed, just a sense of humor and air of commitment.

  15. Blame It on Globalization! on G.I. Joe No Longer the Real American Hero? · · Score: 1
    First, the jobs left the USA!

    Buy American became an obscene phrase and gesture.

    Then patriotism left the USA! Pride in the USA ended at the first manned lunar landing.

    Now G.I. Joe is multi-cultural, multi-national, and multi-character.

    The major foe will be xenocentric, egocentric, and geocentric.

  16. Tech_Speak v Legalese on TorrentSpy Must Preserve Data In RAM For MPAA · · Score: 1
    IMHO:The Perception: Data has substance, it can be stored.

    The technical explanation of RAM always has data having substance (one's, zero's, bits, and bytes).

    Just educate the techs to speak legalese.

    Speaking tech to lawyers and judges did not work!

  17. Dedicated Teacher on How To Address A Visit from MPAA Senior VP Rich Taylor? · · Score: 1
    REMIND administration, faculty, student body, etc., this is EDUCATION, not political indoctrination or personal agenda.

    ENFORCE your dedication as a teacher.

    ARE YOU A PRO / SEMI-PRO MUSICIAN?

    DEFLECT / DENY / LAUGH OFF accusations, assertions, and comments you became a teacher to have weekends free to play in a band.

    The original article (and YouTube segment) is boring and stupid!

  20. A Voting is NOT an ATM on Researchers Crack Every Certified CA Voting Machine · · Score: 1
    Voting & Voting Machines are meant to be anonymous. The voter selects the candidate, the machine accurately accumulates the vote. NO record of which voter voted for which candidate!

    An ATM is NOT anonymous. A record is kept of each withdrawal/deposit/transfer/... by each user. The security cameras have been used to identify ATM users & bystanders.

  21. Bullshit OR Bad Writing! on US Government Checking Up On Vista Users? · · Score: 1
    The author should have given a short explanation of his technique (backout to Vista, separate machine, whatever...)

    I suggest a separate machine.

  22. HACKERS == Bad Guys on Sophisticated, Targeted Breakins Uncovered · · Score: 1
    Black Hats, even Script Kiddies, own Hacker now!

    When the obfuscation occurred in the '80s, nobody fought or argued against it hard enough.

    Then the movie! Blame it all on Angeline Jolie!

    Bad guys victorious by default!

  23. Talking Book! on Harry Potter Leaked Via Handheld Camera · · Score: 1
    He should have read the book aloud and uploaded it.

    Would have been faster and improved quality.

  24. Opinion Article == HOT AIR on Tech Writers Spreading FUD About GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    The article is unsubstantiated opinion.
