  1. Re:In other news on Apple Starts Blocking Unauthorized Lightning Cables With iOS 7 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Its called; broken by design.

  2. Liquid vortex on Former DHS Official Blames Privacy Advocates For TSA's Aggressive Procedures · · Score: 2

    I have little to no trust with the people working within my government at this time and none in the people from bottom to the top levels in the TSA . They (TSA) needs flushing down the gape of the porcelain maw.

  3. Re:Monopolist acts anticompetetively, film at 11 on Intel Rejects Supporting Ubuntu's XMir · · Score: 0

    Well I don't trust any corporation of any industry. But like you I lean more in favor of Intel than Canonical.

  4. Re:Only for Atheists. on 'Half' of 2012's Extreme Weather Impacted By Climate Change · · Score: 1

    They would shit their pants and blame Bush..

  5. Thug and a Punk on Lowell Observatory Pushes To Name an Asteroid "Trayvon" · · Score: 1

    Sure why not immortalize a young man that was nothing more than a thug, punk, thief and drug user attacking a Latino guy. There are many more people deserving of such than him.

  6. Re:High time to stop using PayPal? on PayPal Freezes MailPile's Account · · Score: 1

    Yep I remember that flack back then. But I don't really care. Haven't used them for anything in years and refuse to do any business involving them.

  7. Re:Something I noted... on Apple Now Relaying All FaceTime Calls Due To Lost Patent Dispute · · Score: 3, Interesting
    He is a shill because for a very very long time he bashed many companies along with PJ over at Groklaw while PRETENDING to be "fair and balanced", etc , etc. Anyone with a modicum of comprehension skills could easily tell from his writings he was being paid, yet for the longest time he denied such a thing. In others words just to be clear: he was lying out his ass about his motivations. Then again there wasn't a single bit of his "legal" analysis that prove to be correct or true. Which no doubt is why he had a bone to pick with PJ because she would shred his analysis and to boot she was right. So no he isn't a shill because he is paid by Oracle, he is one for hiding it and then when it became clear he needed to, owned up to it.

    If you haven't seen any evidence, then you have not actually done any looking.

    Anyway, I cannot see why anyone would put any stock in anything he has to say.

  8. Re:Sounds good to me on U.S. Gov't Still Fighting the Man Behind Buckyballs; Guess Who's Winning? · · Score: 2

    That would be a good thing. There are far to many brainless people working in government, this commission is just one example.

  9. Re:It's actually a good idea. on Afraid Someone Will Steal Your Game Design Idea? · · Score: 1

    I think what he is doing amounts to creating the digital equivalent of "prior art". IANAL but prior art has been used in past cases to nullify at patents. Since everyone nowadays seems drunk on the notion of patenting every and any thing I think he might be on to something. Copyright can figure into his publicly documenting his ideas.

  10. Re:Well that's that on Google Breaks ChromeCast's Ability To Play Local Content · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Oh man and I was just about to pull the trigger on one of those. Am I soooooo glad that did not happen, I would be pissed as hell. Guess what Google; you get zero clams from me.

  11. Re:No on Is the Stable Linux Kernel Moving Too Fast? · · Score: 2

    Well everyone has bellybuttons but that doesn't mean we all should gaze upon the great naval; at least for to long else your eyes will burn out.

  12. Re:What a stupid question. on Is the Stable Linux Kernel Moving Too Fast? · · Score: 1

    Ah yeah, like kernel.org isn't trusted. Yes I know you said "distribution" but really now.

  13. No on Is the Stable Linux Kernel Moving Too Fast? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    its moving along just fine. People make mistakes, get over it, its not the end of the world. Considering its current release speed, the amount of changes made over the long term the Linux kernel folks have as good or better track record than most other software houses.

  14. Re:Assange is a loser. on Wikileaks Releases A Massive "Insurance" File That No One Can Open · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you want a "focused government" then you are no real American. Hell, you don't even comprehend the founding principles of the Constitution and certainly have no grasp of the Declaration of Independence. If you had you would realize the error of your desires.

  15. Re:How is that legal? on Time Reporter "Can't Wait" To Justify Drone Strike On Julian Assange · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not really hate speech. Obama has use drone strikes against individuals, so really all the tweet was doing is drawing attention to our president indiscriminately murdering individuals without a warrant or like means. The Internet would be a much better place if we had sarcasm tags. I think that was the reporters intent.

  16. Re:How old are you? on The Death of the American Drive-in · · Score: 1

    A demographics would be interesting. Haven't been to one in such a long time no idea what groups go to them nowadays.

  17. Drive in theaters on The Death of the American Drive-in · · Score: 2

    were a blast, much more of a social event or rather gathering and just plain fun.

  18. Re:Allegory on New Tech Money, Same Old Problems · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sounds like the beginnings of "The Company Store" coal miners suffered in the 1800s. i wonder when Google will start paying their employees in Google dollars that can only be spent at Google stores. Of course Apple and others will have their equivalent money.

  19. Well you know what that means. on Changes In Earth's Orbit Were Key To Antarctic Warming That Ended Last Ice Age · · Score: 0

    This whole global warming because of mans activities just took a hard nose dive into concrete.

  20. Re:WEB hosting isn't expensive on EFF Slams Google Fiber For Banning Servers On Its Network · · Score: 1

    Because there is no reason to trust your data to "the cloud". What you do with your data is your choice. Be a decent enough person to let others decide what they do with theirs. If they want direct and physical control that is their choice and they should have it.

  21. Hijacking, yeah sure on IAB Urges People To Stop "Mozilla From Hijacking the Internet" · · Score: 1

    Mozilla's decision to have ad blocking on by default is the right choice. The only reason the IAB does not like this; people are lazy and often run software with whatever the defaults. There are many, many reports of ad servers coughing up ads linked to malware and said servers being compromised in other ways. The short of it is this; Mozilla has the balls to do the right thing by defaulting that attack vector to off and I salute them. The IAB really has nothing to worry about. There are still plenty of users out there that will install anything, run as root and a host of other insecure activities so their ads will still be seen. The IAB can make any claims they like but that does not mean if my grandma had wheels would she be a wagon.

    I'm sure those jokes will be some real boners.

  23. Re: microsoft store is nice on 3 Reasons Why Microsoft Needs 3 Surface Tablets · · Score: 1

    Yep, that's why people get tattoo's to start with; they want to make a statement about themselves. Some want that statement made before anyone has a chance to do a meet and greet, hence wearing clothing so they will be exposed.

  24. What a dumbass on Former NSA Chief Warns Hackers Will Attack US If Snowden Is Captured · · Score: 1

    We are and have been attacked by "hackers". Its a very lame attempt at scare mongering.
