  1. I don't get it on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some neighbor comes in good faith and opens his digital life to you, so you can MITM him and this is how you react? That is rude man. I think that guy deserves an apology sent from one of his social networks accounts.

  2. Flash? on Sergey Brin Shows Project Glass Glasses to Journalists (Video) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I find the use of flash in this site disturbing.

  3. Re:DNA Record on Lonesome George Is Dead At 100 · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, alien spaceships will come for the whales, not the giant turtles

  4. How about crime? on Ask Bas Lansdorp About Going to Mars, One Way · · Score: 1

    How will you prevent the colonizers from killing each other until only one remains and becomes the ultimate psycho-killer?

  5. Re:This is a terrible idea on Ask Slashdot: Instead of a Laptop, a Tiny Computer and Projector? · · Score: 1

    There're a couple of videos interviewing of John Carmack at E3 2012 talking about VR displays and his recent prototype. After seeing them, I'm not buying anything that hasn't his name on it - or match the specs he talks about.

  6. It cant be Jack Bauer, he uses a Mac....

  7. I've been there on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deal With Priorities Inflation In IT Projects? · · Score: 1

    As it is customary, though, our development resources are not sufficient to cover the amount of projects.

    Stop taking new projects until the team can catch up or hire more people. Whatever is easier to sell to upper management.... However, my personal thought is that you are experiencing the result of a business model already studied and executed by the upper management, so you are doomed.

  8. T-900 on California Governor Vetoes Ban On Warrantless Phone Searches · · Score: 1

    Meet the T-900, with improved deceiving methods and a brand new body

  9. unblock-us.com on Ask Slashdot: Trustworthy Proxy Services? · · Score: 1

    http://unblock-us.com/
    If I remember correctly, you have to use their DNSs, they will route you to their proxy servers when you query netflix or any other.

  10. Re:I'm not surprised... on Foxconn's Brazil Plan Stalled · · Score: 1

    It's not like Brazil had any obvious advantages over China.

    May I suggest a few keywords that might change your mind?
    Rio
    Havaianas
    Carnaval
    Garotas

  11. Re:Why not Chinese prisoners? Even cheaper! on Crowdsourcing Makes an API For Human Intelligence · · Score: 1

    +1 Make parent sticky please.

    Crowdsourcing: Slavery 2.0 with a social component, taken to the cloud. You don't even have to own your slaves anymore, we take the burden of having to feed and shelter them from you! Also, it's much more scalable, you don't know how well your cotton field is going to do, so you can start with one and scale up blazing fast when you need more! And you only pay for what you use from them.

  12. Re:Ah, but on Taking a Look At High-End Programmer Salaries · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Same as any well-payed job.

    "Every organization rests upon a mountain of secrets" - Julian Assange

  13. What's that smell? on Twitter Prepared To Name Users · · Score: 0

    What's that smell? Oh, it's the Streisand effect!
    So who's this guy and what did he do again?

  14. could be?? on Windows 8 Early Build Hints At Apple, WebOS Competitor - EWeek · · Score: 2

    Microsoft's next Windows could be...

    I stopped reading right there. It could be a lot of things. I was expecting a more informative "going to be"

  15. You know what this means right? on Apple Files Patent For Display Mouse · · Score: 1

    P0rn on the mouse!

  16. Re:Aren't there already products like this? on Apple Files Patent For Display Mouse · · Score: 1

    While I agree with you, I can't deny that a big and flashing "Press here" on the mouse would help me a lot when doing support over the phone.

  17. Re:Cool: mouse-display recursion! on Apple Files Patent For Display Mouse · · Score: 1

    Bluetooth

  18. It's temporary right? on Are 10-11 Hour Programming Days Feasible? · · Score: 1

    Just tell your boss to prostitute himself. Just until the company is profitable...

  19. But what if there's nothing worth watching? on The Future of Web Video At Stake In Comcast-NBC Regulatory Review · · Score: 2

    But what if there's nothing worth watching?

    OMG!! Do you mean we would have to.... read!!?!?

  20. Re:What's wrong with wikileaks? on OpenLeaks — 'A New WikiLeaks' · · Score: 1

    Only if we let it happen.

  21. Re:Why doesn't anyone mention the actual problem on With Better Sharing of Intel Comes Danger · · Score: 1

    Parent is a must read.

  22. Godfather quote on Supreme Court Refuses P2P 'Innocent Sharing' Case · · Score: 1

    "A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns."

  23. Re:scary on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    Yeah like this one:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-11860928

    But in this particular case, it's not plausible -at least right now- because he's too public. Hence, they are trying to defame him.

  24. Gambling is better on The Ethics of Social Games · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Somehow, Farmville and the likes, managed to be more addictive than gambling, with less excitement and absolutely no chance of getting your money back by exploiting every cognitive error or bias they can.

    For example: Same thing the Lost series did with many. You watch 3 seasons and the quality of the episodes start to decay really fast. Yet, you keep watching it until it ends, cause you don't want to "lose" the "invested time".

  25. You are missing a point on For 18 Minutes, 15% of the Internet Routed Through China · · Score: 1

    For US citizens: Chinese government spying on your traffic is way less harmful than US government spying on your traffic. I mean, what can they do with that data? Sending you spam?
