  1. Re:Lobbying vs Bribery on White House Petition To Investigate Dodd For Bribery · · Score: 1

    And Dodd is saying their bribery, erm, I mean campaign contributions takes precedence over anyone else.

  2. There is some thing wrong with that.... on Microsoft Pushes For Gay Marriage In Washington State · · Score: 0

    I just can't put my finger in it.

  3. Re:We've had an increase in gas prices... on Why Fuel Efficiency Advances Haven't Translated To Better Gas Mileage · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That easy, especially if you live in a State like Ohio. On all the gas pumps is a sticker that shows the combined percentages of Federal and State taxes applied to a gallon of gas. Last I looked it was like 49% went to taxes.

  4. The fool; on World's Worst PR Guy Gives His Side · · Score: 1

    Looking back, Christoforo is still a little shocked that what he thought would remain a private email conversation got blown into an Internet event the way it did.

    There is no such thing as a private email conversation.

  5. They should... on Face-Scanning Vending Machine Denies Children Access To Pudding · · Score: 1

    But first they need to link any machine that dispenses meat type products to machines dispensing pudding. After all; you can have any pudding if you don't eat your meat.

  6. The ITU was foolish on ITC Judge: Motorola Mobility Infringed Microsoft Patent · · Score: 1

    The ITU is hardly an authority on the validity of patents.

  7. Do it for the components. on Liquid Metal Capsules Used To Make Self-Healing Electronics · · Score: 1

    It might be useful but in my 30 years of dealing with electronic equipment; I have encountered way, way more faulty components than a burnt or "faulty" run. Of the times I have found a toasted run, there was always a toasted component to go along with it.

  8. Google slowly shots itself in the foot. on Google Deal Allegedly Lets UMG Wipe YouTube Videos It Doesn't Own · · Score: 1

    Boneheads.

  9. Hee hee ya they sure are.... on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 2

    the only thing baffling (not really) is how stupid Nokia's shareholders have been.

  10. CNet is lying... on Cnet Apologizes For Nmap Adware Mess · · Score: 2

    Scroll down to the update section: http://insecure.org/news/download-com-fiasco.html

  11. Safe? on Ask Slashdot: Is Your Data Safe In the Cloud? · · Score: 1

    No and any idiot that thinks it is or could be make safe is just an idiot.

  12. Re:And here I thought.... on Red Cross Debates If Virtual Killing Violates International Humanitarian Law · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I fail to see how even in the remotest, obtuse way games/virtual worlds should even encroach on the outer most fringe of the Red Cross's thinking. My tin foil hat says there is a wookie putting them up to this.

  13. Re:what a load of on Red Cross Debates If Virtual Killing Violates International Humanitarian Law · · Score: 2

    Now you friggin done it!

  14. Re:I for one welcome this change with open hands on Upcoming Changes To 'Ask Slashdot' · · Score: 1
    Well the guy did say spare no punches as such he got what he asked for and gets no sympathy from me. To expect a paid employee to ask Slashdot for their help is kind of stupid. The guy should have gone to any of the python forums or irc channels.

    As for your fist statement; that may well be true on Slashdot as it can get way more rowdy than I have seen in other forums.

  15. Re:Android = trash on Dell Kills Streak 7, Bails On Android Tablets · · Score: 2

    Lol that's some Kool Aid your offering. Its been estimated there are 350,000 Android devices being activated each day. While that number seems high to me, it wouldn't surprise me if its mostly on the mark; http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2011/03/07/in-the-us-android-is-now-the-number-one-smartphone-os/ .

  16. Re:Android = trash on Dell Kills Streak 7, Bails On Android Tablets · · Score: 1, Funny

    You got that backwards; Dell is shit and all the other companies having Android devices flying off the shelves confirms it.

  17. Odd... on Dell Kills Streak 7, Bails On Android Tablets · · Score: 1

    While Samsung and a whole bunch of other companies have Android devices flying off the shelves, Dell seems unable to do the same. Curious and curiouser.

  18. Re:Just Curious... on Download.com Bundling Adware With Free Software · · Score: 1
    You did miss the analysis by Nmap else your stupid comment that everyone wins would not have been made.

    Since your to lazy, here;

    C|Net is adding trojans to the installer.

    C|Net is in violation of the Nmap license.

    So exactly who is winning here?

  19. Re:Why is CarrierIQ an issue? on Researchers Say Carrier IQ Isn't Logging Data, Texts · · Score: 1

    That's a good question. My tinfoil hat says the government is involved with CarrierIQ and all this hoopla is simply a diversion.

  20. They may not be on Researchers Say Carrier IQ Isn't Logging Data, Texts · · Score: 1

    but those carriers that installed it on cell phones just might be.

  21. Another idiot on Ask Slashdot: One Framework To Rule Them All? · · Score: 1

    After 40+ years that software has been around you should know by now one side does not fit all; it does not matter if your talking web, kernel or whatever.

  22. That makes it clear. on Android Dev Demonstrates CarrierIQ Phone Logging Software On Video · · Score: 1

    Their program is nothing more than a keylogger.

  23. Re:VS on Drug-Resistant Superbugs Sweeping Across Europe · · Score: -1, Troll
    I do not want the "state" caring about me because when they do its not Dos Equis they drink.. but rather the slurping taxes from my wallet.

    I think you are the bigger idiot to think > 2% some how materializes out of thin air to make up of the difference is well, your using the wrong tea bag. Some one is paying for that difference.

  24. Hmm well. on Universal Buys EMI's Recorded Music Unit For $1.9 Billion · · Score: 1

    Seems their barking about how badly pirated music and videos have been over stated/estimated if they have nearly 2 billion to toss around.

  25. Screw Gates on Bill Gates Advocates Tax On Financial Transactions · · Score: 0

    The last thing needed is more taxes. This is a pipe dream but governments should stay within their budgets.
