  1. More meaningful feedback. on Facebook To Eliminate Voting On Privacy Changes · · Score: 1

    Translation: whatever the various government surveillance agencies tell us to do.

  2. Slashdot is becoming a long list... on Outrage In India Over Arrests For Facebook Posts · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Slashdot is becoming a long list of arrests by the state for political speech on social media. The sad news is that there is so much to report. Keep bringing it to light /.

  3. Thank goodness... on South Korean Man Given Suspended Sentence For Retweeting NK Propaganda · · Score: 5, Funny

    If people keep retweeting that kind of propaganda it might infect South Korea with totalitarianism and restrictions on things like speech.

  4. And still no one wants it. on Media Center Key Accidentally Gives Pirates Free Windows 8 Pro License · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This sounds less like a career limiting move a d more like a marketing ploy to get a bigger installed base for Vista 2.0 (or is it Millennium Edition 3.0?)

  5. Executive Order in 3... 2... 1... on That Was Fast: Leahy Drops Warrantless E-mail Surveillance Bill · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Whenever this stuff can't get through Congress it just ends up in a Friday night EO dump. Is this one important enough for Black Friday? We'll know by Monday.

  6. Screenshot or it didn't happen on Israeli Infrastructure Proves Too Strong For Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Somebody is finally channeling their inner Steve Jobs. "You're taking the pictures wrong!"

  13. They will be easier to steal this way... on BitCoin Gets a Futures Market · · Score: 2

    I love bitcoin, but so far every exchange or market turns out to be a way to lose your coins to poor security or straight fraud. Add in gold and oil futures and it sounds like another great fraud opportunity.

  14. That's one way... on Another Call For Abolishing Patents, This One From the St. Louis Fed · · Score: 1

    ...to get people on board for Audit the Fed. This could cause billions of lobbying dollars to head to congress to promote auditing and ending the Fed.

    I'd be curious if they converted that $70,000 of power into $70,000 worth of bitcoin during that 3 days. Seems like it would be a good way to offset the costs.

    Just checking.

  21. Re:'Cause if there's 'legitimate rape' on The Mathematics of 'Legitimate Rape' and Pregnancy · · Score: 1

    So what you are saying is you are talking about legitimate rape.

  22. Re:'Cause if there's 'legitimate rape' on The Mathematics of 'Legitimate Rape' and Pregnancy · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Well, there is statutory rape that may be non-violent and even consensual.

    Then there is a belief that all sex is a violent act against woman, most often misattributed as "All sex is rape" to Catherine MacKinnon or Andrea Dworkin. And while a mis-quote and mis-attribution, it has been repeated enough that it holds some place in society's subconscious.

    So while using the term "legitimate rape" was horrifically stupid, it has some basis in trying to differentiate forced rape or assault rape from things like statutory or "all sex is..." rape.
