  1. Re:I wonder how many times... on DHS Creating Database of Secret Watchlists · · Score: 1

    Really maybe it's time to make 2011 memorable for the same reasons.

  2. Memories on Microsoft Patches 1990s-Era 'Ping of Death' · · Score: 1

    I miss the olden times. I can't remember how many times I sent that to friends to fuck with them.

  3. How about on 8 Ways To Circumvent the PROTECT-IP Act · · Score: 1

    At a time when the US economy is as uncertain as it was in the depression, let's not waste money on unnecessary law passing. We don't really need more shit laws that won't be enforced.

  4. Re:What good is this for? on Build Your Own Camera, Launch It Like a Grenade · · Score: 1
  5. Welcome to... on S&P's $2 Trillion Math Mistake · · Score: 1

    America, brother could you spare a dime?

  6. Re:Now, Come On ... on Swede Arrested For Building Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    I wonder what episode of Make he saw.. and I'm wondering how the hell I missed it.

  7. And the Darwin Award goes to... on Swede Arrested For Building Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    That guy...

  8. When is it enough? on Lucas Loses Star Wars Stormtrooper Copyright Case · · Score: 1

    Seriously does Lucas not have enough money? I can understand he is worried about the Logo, because let's face it Star Wars is a brand name.

  9. Re:It's 2011, don't open the attachment on The Rise of Polymorphic Malware · · Score: 1

    What would Adblock and Noscript do to prevent this in the form of PDF, or say an IE image processing buffer overflow?

  10. Tradeoff on Microsoft Suggests Heating Homes With "Data Furnaces" · · Score: 1

    What would be the energy tradeoff running a cloud data center vs conventional heating power consumption? I'd be willing to bet that it's not very cost effective.

  11. This is due to two things on The Internet's Age of Rage · · Score: 1

    Put your name to something and your words are freighted with responsibility."

    This is because you are born with two things, your word, and your name. Without one the other is worthless.

  12. Re:risk/reward on Can a Playground Be Too Safe? · · Score: 5, Funny
    so stuff can be achieved without a large proportion of people being harmed in the process.

    You obviously don't work in Aperture Labs do you?

  13. Expectation of privacy on Court Allows Webcam Spying On Rental Laptops · · Score: 1

    This is 2011 read 1984, if you have any expectation of privacy you can find it on aisle 33 1/3 next to the unicorns.

    A piece of electrical tape over the camera would have solved this. Who still uses webcams?

  14. Avid Gamer Here on Developer Panel Asks Whether AAA Games Are Too Long · · Score: 1

    As an avid gamer, and a long time one at that, I'm less interested in the length of the overall game and I am more interested in the games replayability. Take Medal Of Honor Allied Assault for instance, yeah I know it's very old and dated, but also look at the longevity the game had. The mp servers were always full well into it's 8th year. Never since have I seen a title (that I play regularly) enjoy the same run.

    As far as fps shooters go, I think it was partly due to the games modability. Which titles today are sadly lacking, read CODBO (Treyarch if you are listening having us pay for DLC is a shit business model, you will shoot yourself in the foot.) So for that title I am waiting for it to end up like MW2 and broken out of Steam.

    Game companies are just like any other company, they never listen to what the consumer want, it's a business at they end of the day, they have to show something for their effort.

  15. Re:All I have to say is on Dumpster Drive: File-Sharing For Your Digital Trash · · Score: 2

    Yeah but wasn't that due to most of them not knowing any better?

  16. Re:You know you have a PR problem on Anonymous To Release Sun, News of the World Emails · · Score: 1

    /me is an American, and as an American I would like to know, was there a page 3 girl involved? If so where can I view?

  17. Re:Sad on Borders Books, Dead At 40 · · Score: 1

    The last time we had a Borders shut down here, I took the opportunity to stock my geek shelf with manuals. Got about 9 manuals for under $150.

    As an aside the best book I saw when browsing the computer section was a 70 something page book on hacking that told you could be a 31337 hacker by learning how to port scan. I should have bought it just for the lols, but I thought at $3.00 it was overpriced, went for a map of Tokyo instead.

  18. General Grievous on Stanford Students Build "JediBot" · · Score: 1

    When will he appear?

  19. Re:Not more flawed, more obviously stupid on Women Arrested For Refusing TSA Search of Children · · Score: 1

    It's not uncommon in war to use children as living bombs. They tend to be able to walk right into a group of troops unimpeded due to no one seeing them as a threat.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_suicide_bombers_in_the_Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict

    http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/7627721.html

    My father told me a few stories of children walking up to GI's with grenades strapped to them.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_use_of_children

    While this has little to do with whether the practice of patting down a child in a US airport should be done or not, I think we could do with less TSA Policing and more racial profiling looking for terrorists. This will never happen in the US due to our irrational fear of singling out a specific race, which the US has done many times before without hesitation.

    http://www.historyonthenet.com/WW2/japan_internment_camps.htm

    In any case of a TSA agent patting down a child I fail to see how a US born child of US born parents fits the profile of a radical muslim terrorist.

  20. Re:Reflexive /. Gates bashing in 3...2... on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 1

    They already have something.

  21. BSOD on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the toilet version of The Blue Screen of Death is

    I'm not sure, but I'd wager it involves a plunger.

  22. Re:Summary? on Congress Voting To Repeal Incandescent Bulb Ban · · Score: 2

    How about not passing more laws and enforcing those that have passed.

  23. Re:Jobs killer on IBM Watson To Replace Salespeople and Cold-Callers · · Score: 1
    Better yet, could you imagine calling tech support and getting Watson.

  24. Re:any of the bootable cd distros on Ask Slashdot: Easiest Linux Distro For a Newbie · · Score: 1

    Word doesn't work, but under Ubuntu live you can use OpenOffice which if I recall is on the cd.

  25. Distros on Ask Slashdot: Easiest Linux Distro For a Newbie · · Score: 1

    Try Ubuntu on LiveCD, no need to repartition and install an OS. Fully functional from the CD itself, though changes to the system will not persist through reboots. Also you could run something in a VM, but I'd just use a liveCD mom would be up and running in the time it takes to download the image and burn it to disk then reboot.
